which have caused much damage to
property and some loss of life.
The following is an extract from
a lengthy but graphic tale of the
slides, contained in last weeks San

the time he was working his hands

main to keep on top of the great
avalanche, and trusting that he
would stop some time before he
reached the cliff below. which he
felt would end his earthly career.
When just above the cliff he struck
small tree and stopped. He imme-
diately began efforts to get from
under the snow which covered him
up to his chin, and was finally sue

hands and went up to where he had

n Paso. May 15.-The slaughter of
rebels at Cuatro Cienegas and vicin-
ity a few days ago was perhaps the
most painful blow thus far inflicted
upon the insurrecto army.
A dispatch declares that rebels un.
der General Palazar were caught In
. canyon and his force Of 1000 was
nearly annihilated. Some escaped by
climbing over the rocks out of the
death trap and others were shot to
death from above. where the federal
dre was continued for hours with ter
rible accuracy.
General Palazar had 1000 men at
Cuatro Cienegas and is believed to
have ~reioined Orozco for Sundays
sighting at Conejos with only 500 sur
vivors. OF the $500 missing more
than 500 are believed to have been
killed. The rest fled as individuals to
various parts OF Mexico.
Some OF the %retreating rebels were
overtaken on the desert and killed.
Others died from lack of food and wa
ter. The barren plains between Gu.
afro Cienegas and Sierra Mopada, q
distance of 100 miles, are said to be
strewn with rebel dead.
