 From Mir. Florencio E. Monte verde of Hermosillo, who was at Nogales this morning, en route to Los Angeles, THE OASIS obtained particulars of revolt started re- gently by Rafael P. Moreno, who attained prominence as a Made rista chieftain, and was made prefect of the Hermosillo district. MT. Monteverde had his informa- tion from Vice-Governor Gayon, who was in direct communication with Arizpe.
 After quitting the position of prefect at Hermosillo Moreno was dissatisfied, and he raised the standard of revolt, and gathered a band of fifteen men with whom he attacked Arizpe yesterday. The presidente of the town, Jesus P. Carrillo, met the attacking party and dispersed them, killing Ro- nero, Luis Arvizu, and Juan Me- rino, and capturing the others. The government force suffered no loss.

TOO MUCH iA EVIDENCE.

Tuesday small sized cyclone struck a part of the democratic ticket in Santa Cruz cou nty, and when the new state government comes in next year some of the principal offices in the county will be filled by republicans-and TAX PAYERS.
 Now, in all kindness, THE OASIS wishes to point out to it's demo- cratic friends in the court house, one prime cause of their downfall. They have made themselves too much in evidence, They have had framed up a mutual admiration society that has arrogated to itself all the wisdom, all the talent and all the experience in Nogales and Santa Cruz county-and the people pretty generally have tired of it. Go into the court house, and there are always in evidence O'Connor, Lowe, Dumbauld, Reddoch, Herold; :; go to the town government and there are Reddoch, O'Connor, Lowe, Duffy, Dumbauld, and another Herold; in the Nogales Building < Loan Association, the bunch are much in evidence; in the Board of Trade also; at one time they tried to capture the Santa Cruz Club; and there capnot be even a little Fourth of July celebra- tion in Nogales, but that the same bunch come to the fore to the exclusion ot all others-except with their endorsement.
