The Mexican Iml ian Trouble CoiiHtanlly Spreading. Chicago, Aug: 7. A special to the Tribune from the City of Mexico says: Dispatches from Guayinas show that the Yaqui insurrection is constantly growing in extent, and all the Indian's in the towns i.long the rivor are rising in arms and taking to the woods and mountains to join their companions al ready arrayed against the authorities. Jack Rainsev, tho famous frontier character, and the Ameiican photog rapher, E. N. Miller, were on the way to Alamos when they were attacked by tho Indians and killed. It is reported that tho Romero family wero captuied ao they wero about to embark on one of the sloops and that they were killed. Troops are pursu ing the bands supposed to have the family. Tho telegraph lino south from Alamos has been cut. The In dians along the Mayo river are quiet and do not seem to be inclined to join the insurrection. Colonel Angel Garcia lna tele praphed yesterday that Don Carlos ll.ile, the noted merchant, has not been killed as reported. Official advices up to Monday, however, state cleat ly that after General Torres' forces took Ba cum, thev found ten dead of the troops from Coacorit. and four of the body guard of the Yaqui chief, Maldonado, and the body of Hale.

The coidon around the Home anu me immediate adjoining village of ouijccun nue says, is tight as he ever saw it at any place. as 0IS IE REBELS RECEIVING AKM3. Americans Must Continue Fighting; f. Every Foot of Ground They Hold. Chicago, Aug. 7. The Tribune'i special correspondence from Manila un det date of June 26, says: The nexl campaign can haidly begin sooner than November, although the country may dry up enough towards the middled October to permit tho American troops to take the field then. The American army during the rainy season can Hardly be expected to do anything more than hold what it has gained and pre pare for the next campaign. The ground to defend is not very great. On the 'south of Manila we have Imus, abbut 15 miles away, where the Fourth and Fourteenth infantry, with several guns from the Sixth artillery, are stationed. This teiritory was gaiiud within tne last two weeks by the hard fighting at Paranaque, at which even the rattle pf the rifles can be heard in Manila. We hold the road that luns to Imus through Paranaque and Baooor, every inch of which was gained by hard righting. Northwaid the furthest point in the control of our soldiers is San Fernando, 41 miles from Manila, on the railroad. The railroad is 149 miloB in length in all, but the insurgents control all the track between San Fernando and Da gupan, the northern terminal of the road. The Americans hold Car.adr.ba, east of San Fernando 10 miles. They hold all the towns along the railroad, of course, to San Fernando and Ba liuag, seven miles east of Pulilan. Repoits continually come from Ba liuag that the town is entirely sur rounded by the enemy and is about to be carried by assault. But Colonel Page and the Third infantry have so far driven the rebels back with disas trous loss every time they have assault ed the town, and he declares he can hold it for an indefinite time, although his position there is by no means an easy one. Supplies and mail can only be carried over to Baliuag from the railroad under an escort of not less than 150 men, who are invariably at tacked some "vhere along the road, both going and coming. At San Fernando two determined at tacks along the whole rebel line were made last week. The second engage ment lasted three hours, when the in surgents wero driven back with heavy osses. Bullets fly continually over both places and stray bullets frequently find victims. Heavy shipments of arms are said to he constantly arriving from Japan and Australia and, it is said, even from our own country. Cartridges picked up in the insurgents trenches hear the trade mark ot a big manufacturing firm in the United States. The insur gents have three factories where they manufacture cartridges and other mu nitions of war. If they were kept on the run they would have no tlmo so to equip themselves that they could re turn after defeat, better able to fight than they were before. They are learning things evory en counter with the Americans. Tho pa pers in Manila have continually re ferred to the fact that the rebels were pione to shoot too high, and they seemed finally to have learned the les son and now they aie getting their shots well down and showing a great improvement in marksmanship. Tho few Americans who came over to Manila a week ago Tuesday on the Esmeralda from Hong Kong weie as tonished a few hours after sunrise when their ship had steamed (Hit to quaran tine, to hear heavy cannonading from the. monitor Monadnuck, which was in plain sight down the coast about live miles below Manila. Some of the pas sengers thought it was some sort of salute in honor of the ai rival of some distinguished naval or army horo and they eagerly questioned a soldier who sat on tho stern of tho health officer's launch. "That," said the young man, "that's nothing. That's just a battle." It was some time before the passengers could believe the Americans and insur gents wero fighting within, sight and sound of Manila, where the war had started six months before. The battle laged all day and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon the rattle of Binall arms could be distinctly heard, and late in the evening the health officer told us the fighting had been at Paranaque. CZAR WAS GLOOMY. IlBd Decided to Abdlrnte II I - Throne Keuson for Del ('tune's Visit. London, Aug. 7. M. do Blowitz, the Paris correspondent of the Times, gives an extraordinary explanation of M. Del Casse's present mission. He as serts that it was decided upon quite suddenly for a "reason which admitted of no delay," and then gives tho story which he says he has from a "source to which 1 am bound to attach impoit ance." This is the explanation: "Emperor Nicholas is disappointed and tired of the thione. The absence of an heir excites his superetititious feeling, and he connects himself with a Russian legend, according to widen an heiress czar is to be succeeded by a Czar Michael, predestined to occupy Constantinople. The death of the czarowitch and the failure of the con ference at The Hague led him to decide to abdicate, and on the occasion of his coming visit to Darmstadt. On this becomir.g known in PaiiB. M.
