And the Streets Were Filled With the Bodies of Slain of the Brave Defense Hade lor Their Hoarly 400 Mexican Soldiers Killed and Disgrace to the Government of Mexico. (By Associated Press to the NEWS.

EL PASO, Texas, Oct. has just reached here of the total destruction of a whole town and its in western Chihuahua, Mexico, and ol the killing of about 300 federal troops. The despatches have Mid the story of the religions fanaticism that has prevail- In the town of Tomocnie, situated in the mountains about 300 miles west of the city of Chihuahua. Federal troops have been sent out there twice to compel sab- mission to the authorities but each time the troops have been worsted. The third time a full regiment wag sent ont was considered a competent officer and accompanied by two gatling guns.

The result of the battle which was fought last Saturday was the total annihilation of the rebels and the killing of more than 300 federal soldiers senc to uphold the authorities. Such is the report that comes here, but experience proves that much of the news from the interior of the Republic is greatly exaggerated. The news of the annihilation of the Tomoohials, a people who inhabit a vil lage of Tomoobiens, who are nearly pure Aztecs, received here last evening, is more circumstantial than first indicated. Tomocnie Is situated on the direct road to Guerrero and Jesus Maria, in the mountains of Soutbeantern Chihuahua, Mexico, and has been in open revolution against the state and federal governments for more thtn a year, on account of excessive taxation extorted by government officials and government interferences in their religions belief. The government sent the 110th batal- lion tn command of General Raugel to make the people pay the tax required of them and accept government officials appointed to take charge or to kill everyone of them.

This alternative was openly boasted of by officers in Chihuahua before the troops started for town and when the Tomouhieiis heard of it they decided to fight it. out, as they knew that even should they receive the soldiers peaceably they would be shot on the slightest provocation. Wheu the made their descent on the village they were met and driven off with twenty-two officers and fourteen men killed and two officers and forty five men taken prison oners. The prisoners were confined on top of the adobe church. Gen.

Rangel was the only officer who escaped. When the news of this affair reached the ears of President Diaz be decided to annihilate the village and when the people we-e notified they answered, "God is with us and we will not be taken." Soldieis left Chihuahua two weeks ago and formed a Junction with Others at Pinns Altos Guerrero to the number of 1,200 and last Monday an attack was made on all sides. The Tomo- cbiens who only numbered 38 with their families took refuge in the church and awaited the attack, which took place at about 10 o'clock. The attack was made on all sides and the slaughter was terrible. At dusk the soldiers gained an entrance to the church and a terrible hand to hand fight took place and the soldiers completed the massacre with 308 of their number killed and many wounded.

The village the nexs day presented a terrible view. The streets of the little village leading to the church were filled with bodies; blood seemed to have flowed in torrents. Not a man of the Tom- chiens was left except those who happened to be ont in the monn tainx, but the government has paid dearly for its victory. The Tomochiens sometime ago a very wealthy people in cattle and farms, but the lack rain and failure of their crops bat brought them to iveity and they were unable toexiat under the extortion ol the government and its petty officials and were brought near to starvation They were very hospitable and several weeks ago when severa parties of Americans paasw from Guerrero to Chibauhau they were kindly and wel! oared for.though the government officers objected to thei: going, they saying the Tomocbians were bandits. The feeling agaiust the govern ment is very strong.

and the incident has been called the second Alamo, which will bring light and liberty to the Mexican people as it did to those of Texas. FEOH THE CONTEST. A TiATK COHTESSIOir. The Halts Supposed to Belong to oi Sir John franklin's Vessels. By Associated Press to the Nrws.l WrsKEPEO, Oct.

'onerel Services of Mrs, Harrison Held at the White House this Homing. LEAD KISDLY LIGHT" SDNG BY BOYS. A Favorite Hymn of Mrs. Harrison's Wlucn She Had Song Every and Appropriate Floral Assemblage of Distinguished Fsnonages Particular! of the Bad Funeral Obsequies. By Associated Press to the WASHIHGTON, Oct.

27. Funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Har- BOn took place at the White House this lOrning. They were beautiful and im- ressive, bnt where chiefly characterized the simplicity which was so dear to er heart. Except the sable rosette of rape at the doorway.there was no sign of lourning abont the exterior of the man- on.

Police guards were stationed at ie gates to keep back the throng of pco- le who gathered to the number of sev- ral thousands on the sidewalks border- ng tbe northern lawn. In addition about score of the blue-coated watchmen were cattered along the walks leading to he lansion and at the porte-cochere to di- the movements of tbe carriages, 'hese were the only visible signs of offi- ial formality. Inside tbe house all of tbe doors con- ecting the halls and adjoining rooms ith the east room were thrown open ear the centre of the east room. The asket was supported by two pdestals ith the head to the north and it was overed with beautiful flowers. The reat room was nearly filled with chairs nd sofas arranged in semi-circles.

The oom was otherwise unchanged, except the special abundance of its foliage ecorations. These consisted almost en rely of the several varieties of the aim. Beautiful varieties filled tbe mantles and the window recesses and thers had, been placed at inter- als along the walls of. the room nd on each side of the great mirrors At tbe head and foot of the casket stood all palms reaching nearly half way to ie ceiling. Care had evidently beeu taken to avoid every appearance of dis- lay in the decorations, and the effect as charming in its simplicity.

The floral tributes to the memory of ie dead were very numerous and of rare Jeauty. At tbe bead of tbe casket wan large and most beautiful floral crown, lade of white carnations, violets and oses. Resting upon a base, covered with vy at the foot, had been placed a large reath-crowned crote of purple violets, 'here was also at the head a large nd pretty wreath of white and pink oses and palm leaves, the tribute of tbe lerks in the executive office; and at the oot another wreath made up of chrys- utbeuump, orchids and scarlet roses. Vreaths and garlands of beautiful aud ragrant flowers surrounded the casket every side in such quantities that it ad tbe appearance ol lightly resting pon a mound of blossoms. Some time before the hour set for tbe eginning of the service the personal fiends of the family began to arrive and ire shown to seats by the ushers, Com- maider Cowles and Lieutenant Clover of he navy, Lieutenant Dapray, of the rmy and Mrs.

S. D. Miller, sou of At- oroey General. It had been arranged that the first row seats at the front of the casket should occupied by tbe family, the nrxt by be most intimate friends and tbe re- nainder by the employer and servants the house. The first row on tbe lorth was assigned to the cabi- et and private secretary Hal ford, he second to the Supreme and the remaining rooms to other riends without specification.

The jus- ices of tbe Court were present except "nstice Lamar, who was not able to attend on account of ill health. Just before 10 o'clock Mr. Blaine entered, accompanied by Mrs. Blaine iis daughter, Harriet, and the ex-secretary was seated beside General Proctor, lie old colleague in the cabinet. Mr.

and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid entered abont the same time and were seated in tbe same row. Most of the members of the diplomatic corps were also noticed among tbe early arrivals. At 10 o'clock the seats were all occu- and tbe east room was completely illed, many persons standing along the walls and in the adjacent rooms and corridors. In the green room adjoiuing and opening into tbe east room were sta- the boys of the choir of St.

John's Episcopal church, looking like cherubs disguised in their white robes. There were 15 sopranos, including Miss Louise Moellor; five altos, including Miss Ruth Thompson; four tenors, five basses, the precentor, William H. Daniel, the organ ist, John Tbeophle, and assistant D. B. MacLeod.

The reason for tbe inclusion of this Episcopal choral music in this important Presbyterian service is touching. It was a feature in the service at the funeral of Mrs. Tracy, held in the east room abon two years ago, aud Mrs. Harrison was at that time so much imprersei by it and so struck by the beantifu hymn, "Lead Kindly Light," that she caused this hymn to be sung and placet at the White House at least once nearly every Sabbath. Because it was so dea to her the hymn was chosen for her fn neral service to be sang by the same sweet youthful voices that bad first attracted her attention to it.

As the bell in the hall struck the hon of 10 o'clock the honorary pallbearers quietly entered the East Room and we: seated. The members of the afilictet household followed soon afterward. The President escorted Mrs. McKee his only daughter; his son Russel cam next with his wife and the others cam in as follows: Rev. Dr.

Scott, Mrs. Har rison's venerable father, with Mrs. Dim mick; Mr. J. R.

McKee with Mrs. Par ker; Lieut. Parker with Mrs. Newcomer Mr. and Mrs.

J. V. L. Findlay, of Bal timore, Private Secretary Halforc Hiss Banger; Miss Davis, th nurse, Josephine Kneip, Mrs. faithful maid, Marie Kempe, the govern ess of Mrs.

McKee's children and the se: vants. The active pall bearers, oomprisin eight of the White House ushers an messengers, ranged themselves in th main hall-way just outside the ope doors of the east room. When the family were seated Rev. and in a low voice repeated a few sagas from the scriptures, beginnli "In my Father's house are many and including several verses tie Psalms. He closed with the LordV irayer, which was repeated with him by imost every person in the room.

he Rev. Dr. Bartlette, who was fi Mrs. Harrison's pastor at Ind polis, took up the scriptures and in a melodious voice read a number of ages from the Old and New Testaments ud the Psalms, which had been selected to suit the occasion. As he came to the nd the low ptelude of the organ was and the swelling voices of the hoir chanted the hymn "1 heard the oice of Jesus say." As the concealed voices sang-, tSe louds which had shrouded the sun rolled away and a flood of light filled tho ooms with a soft radiance.

"Let us Dr. Bamlin and all heads rere bowed as the pastor lifted up oice in invocation to the Lord. As aster said "amen'' once more the choir as heard, this time singing Cardinal Newman's beautiful hymn, "Lead Kinilr Light." The solemn hush that lol- owed was broken by the entrance of the udertaker' and his assistant who removed the floral tributes from the casket. As the remains were carried across the road portico the pall bearers formed In wo lines, while the body was placed in to hearse, which was drawn by two lack horses. There was little delay and immediately ne long procession of carriages was moving ont of the White House grounds nto the broad Pennsylvania avenue.

Nearly all ie business buildings bad raised the rational colors to half mast and aloug ie route people crowded the sidewalks ud stood in respectful silence. The ross town cars were stopped, the wag- us drew aside and a pall seemed to fall pou them as they watched the carriages -ith drawn curtains slowly move by. At least 2,000 persons had congregated the btatiou, but perfect order was erved by a squad of police, and there as an entire absence of any pushing ud undue curiosity on the part of any- ne.

All seemed to respect the Present's wish of privacy. The remains ere at once removed from the earse and removed to the car £1 Roy" and placed in a handsome red c'tar case, with polished brass handles. After the lid had been put in place the wreaths aud other floral offerings whicb overed the casket in the east room, were gain laid upon the casket, completely urying it from sight. Around the sides the car and on the floor the remaining otrers were placed, strewn in profusion', attendants from the White House ud the undertaker will watch over the ody while the train is on its sad Weat- ard journey. The car which had been switched on a ide track, was then run out of the sla- ton and placed at the head of the train nd next to the car "Wildwood," which lie President, Mrs.

McKee, Russel Harison and wife, and Mrs. Dimmick occu- ied. Behind this car was the sleeper friends of the family. The other cars composing the train rere the "Narcissus," compartment car Esperanza" and the dining car "Conti- ental." Mr. George W.
