 Attack at La oavia Ranch.
 La Gavia ranch, thirty miles northwest of Toluca. was entered by rebels three nights ago. Ranch buildings were destroyed and some twenty persons killed, according to some reports No detailed account has been allowed to pass the ceR- sor at Toluca and no official re- ports have been made public. Other dispatches state that only four were killed and eight wounded. The own CT of the ranch called on the minis ter of gobernacion yesterday and asked that protection be given him and his property.
 Shortly before the attack on La Gavia, General Angeles, at the head of 200 men, went out on a tour of inspection as far as Las Cruces. On his return to Toluca, he is quoted as saying that his trip from Cuerna- vaca had been useless, and that there was nothing for him to do. Horrible Atrocities.
 CrueIties of every description were committed by the rebels in the massacre at Agua Blanca several days ago. according to letters which have reached the city. It is stated | that the officer in command of the | troops was found with his arms and legs cut off and his tongue torn out. Some of the soldiers were ehoked to death with hot wires, | hng throats. One soldier was found with two nails driven into his neck.
 The great majority of the sol diers are said to have been burned to death in the meson in which | they were spending the night. Wo- men and children are reported to have been shot down after all man. ner of outrages had been commit ted. One child was killed by a rebel who dashed its brains out against a rock.
 Note From Rebels. II A horseman rode into San Juan near Agua Blanca two days ago
 and. leaving note before the house of one of the town officials
 rode out again. The note proved to be a message from the rebel leaders in which the federal com manders were told that they would be given two days in which to bury
 their dead at Agua Blanca. During
 this time the rebels agreed not to
 attack them. Should the federals
 fail to avail themselves of the op
 portunity, the rebels stated that
 they themselves would eremate the
 dead.
 A detachment of 25O federals Jeff Toluca on Friday for TemascaltepeC
 and Nazarino. Nothing has been
 heard of them for several days and
 it is feared that they may have been attacked by a larger force oi
 rebels and massacred.
 All small attachments of troops in towns near Toluca are said tc be falling back on that place. The garrison at Teuancingo was with drawn recently. As rebels are said to be near ToIuca and to have tht intention of attacking the place it was thought necessary to order the concentration of troops. .--En-ton EIHs
