CHICAGO, Feb. 28.—A Tribune spec ial from G-uayras, Mex., says: ‘‘On Washington's birthday a shoot ing affair occurred at Pilars de Tierra, in which three Americans and five Mexicans were killed. It seems that a friendly ^feeling had existed at Pilars, and to uo honor to the United States it was arranged on February 22 to raise the flags of tlie two countries together on a flagstaff. The Mexicans had charge of the affair and raised the American' flag above the Mexican. When the Americans showed so much appreciation of the act, the Mexicans concluded they had madfe a mistake and decided to lower and readjust the flags, with 3 ? the Mexican flag above. Then the Americans declared that such a transaction would be an insult to the United States, and that the flags Should have been hoisted properly at first. The Mexicans were about to use force when Charles Hogsett, an ex rough rider in Cuba, interposed with a six shooter in each hand. Firing on both sides immediately' ensued and Hogsett was instantly killed, and .John Evans and Dick Rea, two other Amer icans, were mortally wounded. But the Americans helfi the flag pole and both flags floated through the day. Five Mexicans were killed.
