TERRIBLE MASSACRE OF De.
FENsELEss PEOPLE WHEN
ToRREoN is CAPTURED.
SHOT WITHOUT MERCY
CHINESE MINISTER At WASH.
INGToN WILL INVESTIGATE
THE SITUATION. :

Mexico City.-Official reports reach.
ing here tell the story of a massacre
of 206 Chinese at Torreon. following
the rebel occupation.
Upon receipt of the news the Chi.
nese charge d'affaires made formal
representations to the Mexican gov.
eminent.
The details of the three-day battle
and sacking of Torreon are replete
with incidents Of cruelty which show
clearly that the rebel leaders did not
hold their men in control. or else de-
liberately turned them loose to prey
upon conquered and defenseIess
people.
The official advices do not give the
number of dead, but taking the 2O6
Chinese as basis, it is certain the
number is larger.
The last day Of the battle was May
18th. That day Gen. Lejero retired
with his federal forces and the rebels
entered the city.
SItAcuS lOuuu themselves utterly
unable to control the mob and reports
indicate that scores Of innocent resi-
dents were victims. Always antagon-
istic to the yellow race, the Mexican
rebels and mob engaged in race riot.
A great part of the business of Tor
reon is conducted by Chinese, some of
whom are wealthy. and, according to
reports, the rioters shot down or
stabbed them without mercy.
That the Chinese charge d'affaires
will be able to secure indemnity for
many of the victims is doubted here,
for it is fact that since Sir Chen
tung Liang Cheng visited this country
tive years ago and advised his coun-
trymen to become Mexican citizens, al
papers.
The minister of foreign relations, de
La Barra, has not received any word
from Judge Carbajal that Francisco l.
Madero had finally approved the Cabi-
net as suggested. So soon as Madero's
acceptance is received, it may be as
sumed that President Diaz will present
his resignation to the Chamber Of Dep
uties.
AS soon as the depredations against
Chinese subjects at Torreon, Mexico,
are officially reported to the Chinese
minister at Washington, who also is
accredited to the Mexican government,
he will take steps to protest.
1t is expected that Mexico will take
prompt measures to investigate the
situation with respect to the Chinese
and offer them all protection possible
in the present disturbed condition of
the country.

An Irish doctor, while enjoying q
holiday in the country, took the op-
portunity along with friend to go

sinker came off and was lost. Here

was filled with water. carefully corked
and send down on It's mission.
After few minutes interval the
doctor had bite and pulled up his
line at racing speed, finding q pair OF
fish, one on each hook. "Ha, doctor;
twins this time!" exclaimed his COM
panion.
"Yes." quoth the doctor. "and

have any bearing on the championship,

To my mind it lies between Prince

entitled to consideration as well as the

red men do not play against Prince

ward. They certainly are worthy OPP

Another pity is that the leading
teams cannot play series of games.
That the element of luck is strong
