The Mexican Revolution.
Monterey, Dec. 3L—The news was
received here last night that General
Lorenzo Garcia, in command of the
troops in the field in the northern part
of Mexico, with headquarters at Mier,
had been murdered by his command
and that the entire force, numbering
several hundred men under his imme-
diate command, had gone over to the
side of the revolutionists, crossing over
into Texas in a body at apoiht between
Roma and Carrizo. The private sol-
diers in the Mexican army are nearly
all convicted criminals who instead of
being given a term in prison are sen-
tenced to servo with the military. They
are desperate characters and are nearly
all secret sympathizers of the revolu-
tionary movement. General Garcia
was one of the most prominent
and efficient officers in the
Mexican army and his death at the
present is a serious blow to the govern-
ment. Governor Reis has been in con-
stant telegraphic communication with
President Diaz all the day, but the
nature of the dispatches is not known.
Governor Ries of the State of Nueva
Leon and the military authorities here
are much disturbed over the situation
on the frontier. The movement of the
troops through here from the lower
part of the republic during the past
five days has been very great and the
transportation facilities of the Mexican
National railroad has been unsufficient
to accommodate the heavy demand
made upon it by the government. The
garrison here has rushed all of its
available troops to Nueva Laredo from
which place they are distributed along
the right, bank of the Rio Grande.
City or Mexico, Dec. 33.—At the
war department it is ascertained that
the Mexican government is moving
troops from the intorior garrisons to
strengthen the army operating against
Garza. It is now estimated that there
are fully 3,(XX) guarding the long fron-
tier from Laredo to Matamoros. The
extra troops are being sent to further
protect it from Garza.
terday morning, is in the ditch with a
snow slide both in front and behind,
and can get neither way. The Rio
Grande is blocked on Conejos range
and no trains will run today between
Antonito and Clmma. More snow is
reported south of Farmington than
there has been for seven
years, although in Farmington
there is not so much. At White Pine
the storm has been on three days.
Yesterday the mail carrier between
that point and Sargent, twelve miles,
was ten hours making the trip one way.
He started on the return trip at an
early hour this morning and it is feared
he will not be able to make the round
trip today. Over three feet of snow
has fallen in 48 hours.
Tonight reports arrrive of heavy
shows aloDg the Denver, Texas and
Fort Worth railroad near the Colorado
line and trains on that road are block-
aded. Last night a snow slide occurr-
ed near Leadville in Empire Gulch and
two men were killed. Their bodies
have not yofc been recovered and their
names are unknown.
San Francisco, Dec. 31.—Al* hough
the weather has cleared here, it is still
raining in many ports of the state. The
rain fall during this storm has been
phenomenal. The wires are still down
and no word has been received from
Eureka for nearly a week, nor for two
days from Point Keys. In the Sierras
snow has been falling for two days and
a blockade of the Central Pacific is
feared. The south bound Oregon ex-
press on the Oregon extension is fif-
teen hours behind.

A $1,600,000 Fir*.
Bayonne, N. J., Dec. 31.—The great
Barrett works of the Standard Oil
company are burned down mid the loss
estimated at from 81,000,(XX) to $1,500,-
000. The fire started at 2:30 last night
in the heading room of the Barrett
works. It was discovered by August
Cohres, tho night watchman. He said
it seemed to spring up in all directions.
The entire Bayonne fire department
under charge of Chief Engineer Berx-y
quickly responded to the alarm
sent in. There were four steamers
and three hook and ladder companies
on hand in a short time. The Barrett
factory was entirely destroyed. The
budding was filled wit h barrels both
completed and unfinished, there being
hundreds of thousands of them. There
was also great stacks of cut lumber
ready to be converted into barrels. It
is estimated that there wore between
1,000,000 and 2.000,000 barrel heads in
the building and from 10,(XX),000 to 15,-
(X 0,000 barrel staves. The structure
was about 350 feet long, 200 feet
wide and three stories high.
When tho fire department, police and
the crowds reached the scene the struc-
ture seemed wrapped in flames. A
dozen streams were immediately di-
rected, but tho contents burned like
tinder and the building wont too. Over
500 men including the police and fire-
men were fighting the flames, but they
soon found out that they could not
control them. The building stood in
an enclosure of about six acres. Great
stacks of lumber aro piled all about.
These caught fire and burned
fiercely and soon there were
five acres of flames lighting
up the surrounding country. Next
to the Barret factory were the chemical
works. All efforts were directed to-
wards saving them, after a long and
hard fight, during which the firemen
worked in constant peril of their lives,
as a single spark falling among the
chemicals would have been enough to
have caused an explosion, which would
have blown them into eternity. Their
efforts were successful and the chemi-
cal works were saved.
Mexican New*.
City of Mexico, Dec. 31—Judge Perez
do Leon made a domiciliary visit to
the house of Nov, Cinco rie Mayo ave-
nue, this city, last night and found
there a number of priests. The supe-
rior, Father Rafel Lopez and his assist-
ant, Father Francisco Lobistade. were
-sent to prison. Nine monks of tbo con-
gregation de Felipenez were turned
out of doors and the police were placed
in charge of the building.
The college Jose Fina de Bnncoema
six priests were found, the superior
being Father Villaseca. The commun-
ity was dissolved and the superior ar-
rested. The authorities hero as well
as those in Puebla are very active in
enforcing the reform law.
The grade on the International rail-
road from Torreon toward the city of
Durango has been completed fifty
miles, or to a point near tho Velardena
m ines. Track laying will be commenc-
ed from Torreon on the first of Janu-
ary. _____
Tlie Influenza.
London, Doc. 31.—The influenza
continues to claim victims among the
princely fa milks of Europe, the last
porson of that class to die from the di-
sease being Prince Victor Hohenlohe,
Who was sojourning in this city. He
had been ill for some time suffering
from a cancer. He contracted influenza
a few days ago, but it was supposed he
was recovering: Complications sud-
denly set in, however, and he died to-
day.
Syumoub, Ind., Dec. 31.—In this city
of less than 7,(X)0 inhabitants there are
over 2,(XX) cases of grippe, and there
has been a number of deaths directly
or indirectly duo to it.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 31.—There arc
between 500and 600 cases of grippe in
this city at the present time.
Heary Snow Storm.
Dxnver, Dec. 31.—The heaviest snow
storm of the year is now raging in tho
southern and western portions of Colo-
rado. At Dnrango the storm is the
heaviest that has visited that section
for several years at this time of year,
tho snow being about twenty inches on
level and still coming down. At Rico
the snow is throe leet deep while on
Trout Lake range thore is still more.
The Rio Grande Southern train has been
running daily, up to late it la doubtful

Wichita, Kan., Dec, 31.—A corps of
engineers havo started the survey of
the proposed extension of the Hutchi-
son and Southern railroad from its
present, terminus at the state line. The
road will run through Oklohoma City
and on to Denison, Tex., where con-
nection will be made with tho Mis
souri, Kansas and Texas railroad. The
proposed survey passes through exten-
sive coal lands in the Choctaw nation
and Texas.
The Grave* Murder Trial.
Denver, Dec. 31.—The counsel in the
Graves trial are still occupied in mak-
ing their closing arguments. Judge

the morning session with the wind up

night.
Judge Furman for tho defense will
spoak this afternoon,
The Conductors.
St. Louis, Dec. 31.—Chief Clark of
the Brotherhood of Railway Conduct-
ors is in the city and today will have a
conference w th General Manager Clark
of the Missouri Pacific, relative t.o some
differences existing between the con-
ductors and the Hon Mountain road.
About a year ago an agreement was
made between the Iron Mountain com-
pany and its conductors on branch
lines. It seems that the conductors
are not satisfied with tho company’s
interpretation of a portion of that
agreement, and that after making thei r
complaint to General Manager Clark,
their chief conductor was sent here to
talk the matter over with Mr. Clark.
St. Louis, Dec. 31.—Vico President
and General Manager Clark, after the
conference with Chief Clark of the
Railway Conduceor’s Brotherhood, said
an amicable settlement had been
reached. The conductors wanted cer-
tain immaterial concessions made in
addition to the old agreement and they
had been granted.

Dublin. Dec. 31.—A decided sensa-
tion was caused in this city today by an
ill-defined rumor that the “Physical
Force” party had resumed operations
here and that tho first attempt had
boon against Dublin castle, the official
residence of tho Earl of Zcland, vice
roy of Ireland. The rumor was found
to he based on facts. A number of
workmen have been employed in mak-
ing alterations lately about tho castle.
About noon a troniendpue explosion
occurred in the office directly under
the room in which the privy council
holds its meetings.
The damage to tho castle is very heavy
The ceiling of the two floors above the
cellar were blown to pieces, the heavy
basin in some places being torn into
small pieces, tho furniture in the office
beucath the privy council chamber was
mashed and deslroyed. It was a for-
tunate thing that the workmen em
ployed in making tho alterations had
quit work or been away to their din-
ners, had it been otherwise there is no
doubt there would have been serious
loss of life. The affair has created con-
sternation among the people living in,
and employed about the castle.
All dynamite outrages that have been
perpetrated in London and other places
in Great Britain are called to mind. - A
large number of people have no other
opinion than the “physical force”
party has $gain put their policy of
terrorism into effect. Advices have
been received here that the physical
force party in America was about to
make a further attempt to put their
policy into actual practico, but the au-
thorities placed littlfi credence in these
reports, feeling confident that any
such attempts would result disas-
trously for those who undertook to
make them and no one could be ound
foolhardy enough to inaugurate
a dynamite campaign. How false their
souse of security was exemplified today
and it is hardly necessary to say that
they will devote all their forces to cap-
ture the culprits who havo been so dar-
ing as to invade the precincts of Dub-
lin castle in pursuit of the nefarious
schemes.
A meeting of the privy council was
to havo beeu held tonight and it is sup-
posed that tho miscreants made some
miscalculation in their arranger, ts for
timing the explosion.
Warlike Preparation*.
Washington Dec. 31.—'Within tiro
past few days 4,500 pounds of brown
powder and 22,000 pounds of gun cotton
have beeu forwarded from the east, to
Sun Francisco. The brown powder is
intended for the naval great guns and
tho gun cotton for shells and torpedoes.
Beyond these facts there is nothing to
ho learned at the departments con-
cern iug pro pa rat ion s.
The Operators Victorious.
San Francisco,Doc. 31.—The trouble
between the Southern Pacific company
and the Order of Railway Telegraph
Operators has beeu settled. Conces-
sions » ere made on both sides. The
result is a victory for telegraphers, who
are permitted to join the order while
the company withdraws the objection-
able affidavit arid compromises the
trouble with reference to the employ-
ment of student operators. Nearly all
the men who remained out on strike or
were discharged for joining tho order
are to be reinstated by the company.
The Santa Fe‘« Earning*.
Kansas City. Dec. 31.--Tho Atchi-
son’s statement for November, includ-
ing the St. Louis and San Francisco

$4,135, 402; increase, $274,820; net earn-
ings, $1,405,833; iucreasc, $375,732.
