CITY OF MEXICO, December 22,-
Advices from Pachuca recite that a
sanguinary occurrence transpired in
that city, for which the presidente of

held responsible, that official having
made use Of the gendarmeria of the
state against large gathering of
the people engaged in a political mani

Some four or five thousand citizens
had gathered in front of the municipal
palace to listen to speeches in be-
half of a candidate for the presidency
and while one orator was speaking
a file of gendarmes, acting under or
ders from Vargas, appeared and Or

Little attention was paid to the order

severe injuries.
The crowd dispersed finally, but ex-
citement runs high, and a great deal
of indignation is manifested toward
the official responsible or the grave

Americans, approximately $4,000

Further the State Department is
advised that while they were only
400 bandits engaged in the attack on
Musquiz, a Mexican federal force OF
750 men, with six machine guns, was
located within forty miles of Musquiz;
yet no steps were taken for relief of
the beleguereaded garrison at that
place.
The federal forces mentioned were
commanded by Gen. Recaulio PeraI-
dia. According to the information re-
ceived by the State Department these
forces did not attempt to go to Mus
quiz until after the Villistas had evac-
uated the town.
At the same time the State Depart
ment announced the foregoing infor-
nation it stated that instructions had
been sent to the American embassy
at the City of Mexico to make urgent
representations in the matter.

Be Fought Bitterly
UNITED Press Seryice)

LONDON, December 22,-Premier
Lloyd-George, appearing in the House
of Commons to lay before Parliment
the government program for home
rule in Ireland declared the recent
attack on Field Marshal lord French,
lord lieutenant of Ireland, a "despic-
able, dastardly attack upon a gallant
Irish soldier"
"Ireland was never so alienated
from Great Britain as at the present
time," declared the premier.
Severance of Ireland from the Un-
tied Kingdom, however, would be fa-
tai to the existence of both," he de.
clared. "Any attempt at secession on
the part of Ireland would be fought
bV Great Britain with the same deter
mination, force and resolution, with
which the northern states in Amerira
opposed secession by the southern
states, half century ago." Mr.. Lloyd
George declared.
Concluding his address the pre-
mier's home rule plan was then sub
mitted. Ii recomends creation of two
parliments, one for Ulster; another
for south Ireland, with a national
council, to be selected equally by the
