 who assassinated the com mmander of the troops at San Miguel when he and his men captured the place, September 5. General Blanouet reports as follows Il have the honor to inform you that the forces under my command, combined with Zacatecas state troops routed the bands of Jesus Ortega, Librado Ga lAvis and others in La Sierra de las Flores. Galavis and so-called Gen. eral Jesus Ortega, and five other men not unidentified were found dead on the field. The bodies of Galavis and Orlega were taken to San Miguel del Mezquital and sus- pended to trees. Ortega was the man who assassinated the com mander of the troops at that place on the fifth when he entered it.. My forces as we'll as those of Zaca- tecas continued the pursuit of Mu- rillo and Argumedo,"
 Mexican Herald: All the hor- rors of taking of Ixtlan in the Sierra Juarez, Oaxaca, are admit ted in official circles. It is stated, however, that the situation there is not as serious as might at first ap- pear. The citizens are said to have determined to defend themselves against the rebellious Indians and have been armed. A civil war among the Ixtepec Indians is said to be on. This is stated by Jesus Flores Magon, minister of goberna- cion and native of Oaxaca. Only small part of the Sierra Juarez Indians are rebellious, according to the minister. The friendly h. dians Tn towns near Ixtlan have asked the government to furnish them with arms with which to de- fend their homes. Those have been given them and the strategic positions held by the defenders are such as to make it almost impos- sible for the rebels to hold out for very long. According to this, the rebellion will die out by itself. For many years the Indians of the Sierra have been looked upon as a possible menace to the inhabitants of that state. The government has persuaded many of them to become friendly. Those men will assist the federal troops in restoring order A delegation which had been in the city of Oaxaca, left a few days ago in the direction ot Atepec where many families are concentrating to resist an attack il necessary.

 Neighboring Republic.

Wltu Oho plot Io Sdck the capltal September 16, have been set at liberty. They were absolved from COmplioity in the conspiracy during the investigation. Others have asked for an appeal from the ten year sentence passed on them and the matter is in the hands of the federal judge, who will decide whether the men shall have an- other trial or shall be sent at once to San Juan de Ulua to begin their sentences. Much comment has been caused by the secrecy which has been observed in the matter. This has led many persons to believe that the plot is of much greater importance than was at first be- lieved. This is discredited in police circles, although no attempt is made to disguise the fact that active work is still going on under the direction of the most able mem- bers of the secret service.
 Mexican Herald: Col. Jose Bo- Canegra will probably have to ap- pear before military court to ex- plain his action in abandoning the town of Ixtlan in Oaxaca. Much comment has been caused in miIi- tary circles by the action of the 0axaca commander and the ex- planation that supplies were short is not regarded as sufficient reason for leaving the place at the mercy of the Indians, who were at its gates when the federal troops with drew. The commander of the Eighth zone, under whose command Colonel Bocanegra is, will make a preliminary exam nation and, should he see fit, ask for a court martial to try the case. In official circles much has been said of the affair and of the subsequent actions of the colonel. He is said to have left Oaxaca without orders from either the governor of the state or the department of war. Prominent officials have stated that he should also be tried for conduct unbe- coming an officer and gentleman
 Mexican Herald; Gen. Ricardo lrullllo has been appointed com mander of the federal forces in Cuernavaca. He will be under the orders of Gen. Felipe Angeles, com mander of the seventh military zone. This makes the third ap- ointment which General Truiillo has received during the past two weeks. During the recent trouble In the state of Mexico, he was in command of the federal column stationed at Tenancingo. After the visit of General Angeles to To. luca' about week ago, he was re- called under protest ard appointed 10 command the School of Marks. manship in this city. It has been iumored that his form of campaign- Ing has not met with the approval Ol hls superior officer and that he was for that reason recalled from lOIaca. His present position is one of' the most important in the seventh zone, and as commander of sne garrison at Cuernavaca he will nave great deal of influence.

WOMEN ON SCHOOL AND CHARi

By the vote of Louisiana they are

branches, education and charity, they
as a matter of fact, have always tax.
en- the leading part. A large majority
of our teachers are women, yet the
voters of Louisiana have declared that
no can serve on a SchOol
Board, even if all the men in her par.
ish so will. Although the care of the
sick rests in the hands of the women,
although they constitute SO per cent
of the nurses, as they do of the each
ers. no woman can have any say or
part in the administration OF any pub
lie charity hospital or asylum. They
NAV do all the work, but are not al
lowed to open their mouths. It is
scarcely to be wondered at that in the
light of this decision of the speak
ers at the Era Club meeting should
analyze the popular verdict IN Louis
lana as follows: "The voters of Lou
isiana, after opening the suffrage on
all questions to ignorant and il~litarate
men, have denied the educated wo-
men the right of aiding in the man
agement and control of our schools,
hospitals, asylums and other similar
institutions
That this decision is not in accord
with the public sentiment of the rest
of the country is quite obvious, and
not even with former sentiment in
Louisiana,
