(By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.)
Mexico City, January 17. Federal troops have captured the town of Tepatilan after a bloody fight and the death of nearly a hundred in the Jalisco district, which is the centre of what the Government calls the Catholic rebellion. Seventy of the dead were rebels. They laid siege to Tepatilan, but the relieving Government forces arrived and drove them off, with many wounded. The Government is arming the peasants in States w’here the rebels are active. The Catholic Episcopate denies that it was responsible for the outbreaks at Demaso. Bazzara, the prominent Catholic leader, who is heading the revolt in the Mesquital district under the banner “For God and Country,” was killed in the battle.—A. and N.Z.
