THIRTY KILLED AND SIXTY WOUNDED.

Thirty persons were killed and twice as many were seriously wounded in a fight that occurred between the police and a mob at San Luis Potosi.

The rowdy element in the town held a demonstration, the upshot of which was a demand for the release of all prisoners from the local gaol. The authorities, of course, refused to comply with this request, and the gaol was thereupon attacked. The police promptly fired upon the mob, killing two men and two women. This so incensed the rioters that they immediately began a fierce attack, during which the number stated were killed and wounded.
