tests for traces of cyanide of potassium

A group of rebels is declared to have
entered the Natividad mining lamp, in
the Ixtlan district, and demanded strych-
nine. declaring their intention of poison
ing the drinking water in the regions
which are not under their control. They
were unable to secure strychnne, but a
man who had worked in the reduction
plants of mines suggested that cyanide
was much better for their purpose. De-
lighted at tho discovery, the band rode
away, carrying 100 pounds of that poi
son.
Expect to Poison Springs.
The rebels said they would first use the
cyanide to poison the springs at San
Felipe, from which much of the water
used in the city of OaXaca is piped. Last
night a small band of rebels was discov
cred in the ncighborhood of the springs
and driven off by federal troops. The

There are proceedings TO be taken,

then not to interfere with the exercise

exercise such power

character of the present charter of

opportunity for discord In the man
agement and control Of municipal
property, such as that which has
caused this litigation. At present
there are several independent boards
exercising power and performing du-
, ties for and ON behalf Of the city, and
the confusion and conflict resulting
therefrom Is the natural outcome OF
an unsoientifc and unsystematic ar

coordinate the various governmental

make conflict of authority and
power between them difficult IL not
impossible
