El P aso, Ju n e 29.— El C orreo, the
conservative daily M exican new spaper
of C hihuahua, in its issue yesterday
m orning, w hich arriv ed here last
night, has a sto ry th a t an arm y of
a stre n g th variously estim ated at from
4000 to 7000 m en is m arching on T o r
reon, one of the richest cities in the
sta te of Coahuila.
T he story, a fte r review ing the at
tack on V iesca tells of reported a t
tem p ts to rob the pay train of the
M exican C entral railroad, and says
th at the c o u n tty around T o rreo n
which is so closely settled th a t th ere
are sta tio n s about every four kilo
m eters, is sw arm ing w ith arm ed men,
w ho appear at the railroad stations
w ith guns and c artrid g e belts.
"T hese sam e re p o rts,” says El C or
reo, "say th at three bridges on the
railroad betw een H arass and T o rreo n
have been burned, probably w ith the
object of im peding the passage of
tro o p s into T o rreo n . T h e incendiaries
also p ro bably selected T o rreo n for
invasion because they considered it
a rich city to loot. A m ong the r e
p o rts th a t we have heard is one w hich
says th at about 4000 arm ed m en, n e a r
ly all of whpm are in h ab itan ts of
ranches, are said to have passed
H ornos. in the state of C oahuila, on
the C oahuila & Pacific railroad, ^bout
65 k ilom eters from T o rreo n .
“ W h eth er the m ovem ent is directed
again st the g overnm ent of C oahuila
o r again st the federal governm ent, no
one is able to say. It is generally
supposed the m ovem ent is not against
the state, but agaiiyit the federal gov
ernm ent. O ne version says the revo
lution i$ w holly ag ain st the sta te of
C oahuila, th a t the g o v ern o r is not ac
ceptable to the people of th a t state,
and th a t he w as forced upon them by
the president of the republic.
" I t is also said th a t a train of in
fa n try has been sen t to T o rre o n from
M o n terey and a sm all d etachm ent of
cavalry.”
T o rreo n , th e tow n nam ed by El
C orreo as the object of attack, is one
of the richest tow ns in the sta te of
Coahuila. T here are six banks—the
B anco M inero de C huihuahua, m ea n
ing a branch th ere ; a branch of Banco
N aconial de M exico; the Banco de
C oahuila; the B anco de N ueva L eon
and th e Banco de D urango. T he
Banco L aguna, recently organized,
has a cap italization of $6 500,000.
T h ere are about 25.000 inhabitants

P rinceton, N. J., June 24.—Grover
Cleveland, tw ice president of the
U nited S tates, died at 8:40 o'clock thi«

of New Y ork, and D r. Jo h n M. Car
nochan, of P rinceton.
A n official sta te m en t, given out and
signed by the three physicians, gave
h eart trouble, superinduced by stom
ach and kidney ailm ents of long
standing, as the cause of death.
W hile Mr. Cleveland had been in
poor health for the last tw o years,
and had lost 100 pounds in weight
his death cam e unexpectedly. Som i
th ree w eeks ago he was bro u g h t home
from L akew ood, w here his canditior.
for a tim e was such th a t the h otel a:
w hich he was staying was kept oper.
a fte r its re g u la r season because he
was too ill to be moved. But when
Mr. Cleveland was b ro u g h t back to
P rinceton, he show ed signs of im
provem ent, and actually gained fivt
pounds in w eight.
A lthough confined to his room con
tinuously a fte r his re tu rn to Prince
ton, it was not until yesterday tbai
Mr. C leveland’s condition aroused un
easiness on the p art of M rs. Cleve
land. U ndoubtedly affected by th<
heat, Mr. Cleveland show ed signs o
failure, and M rs. C leveland tele
phoned to D r. B ryant, w ho cam e ovei
from N ew Y ork on the train arriving
here a t 4:24 P. M.
Mr. Cleveland becam e w orse during
the night, and Mrs. Cleveland wa;
called to his bedside. T h e distin
gufshed patien t sank into unconscious
ness, from w hich he recovered at
tim es, only to suffer a relapse. Thi*
continued th ro u g h o u t the night am
early m orning. T he last tim e he be
cam e unconscious was about t w
hours before he died. D eath was
peaceful. J u s t before he died Mr
C leveland sought to say som ething
but his w ords w ere inaudible.
