The Undo Situation.
Laredo, Tex., March 21.—The crisis
la tfc* disturbance over the carrying
out of til* state health oncer's regula-
tions tax supresslng the smallpox epi-
demic seems to be psssed.
When the work ot removing the pa-
»tlents was resumed yesterday the
scenes of ttlhe day before were repeat-
ed and Oapt. Rogers of the state rang-
ers and four assistants attempted to
disperse the crowd, but were fired up-
on and CapL Rogers received a bullet
in the loft shoulder.
The rangers returned the fire, kill-
ing Agiplto Herrera, an ex-policeman,
who was leading the rioters with a
Winchester, and another Merlcan and
wounding a woman, a sister of Herre-
ra, who, it Is charged, had fired at the
officers from the window ot a house
■near by.
Several other Mexicans were wound-
■de, but the number can not be yet as-
certained, as they escaped in the
crowd.
Dozens of people report seeing
wounded men, but how many saw the
lame ones is not known.
The shooting was followed by a
number of scattered shots in different
parts of that quarter of the city, which
Is populated largely by Mexicans,
which were construed as prearranged
signals by the rioters for reinforce-
ments.
Dr. Blunt, according to arrange-
ments made, had notified Capt.
Charles G Ayers, fti command at Fort
Mcintosh, that the United States
troops were needed, and at 11:45 a. m.
a detachment of the tenth cavalry,
mounted and fuly armed, with 100
rounds of ammunition, dashed to the
market plaza.
City Marshal Jos. Barthelow was
ywaw in as an officer and under his
direction the crowds were quickly dis-
persed.
The leader ot the first, crowd en-
countered by the military undertook to J *'
talk instead of obeying the orders to j
clear out and was promptly knocked
down with the butt of a carbine and j
to badly hurt that he died a short time
after being carried away.
His followers took the hint and rap-
Idly faded away.
