WAR WITH YAQUIS. SERIOUS REVOLT OF INDIANS MEXICO. IN Taqttla Hare Been Fljrhtinar for Inde pendence Since 1735 Mexico la to Blame for Insurrection Bomethinar of the Picturesque Yaqul Country. 1 The Insurrection of the Yaqnl Indians promises to give the Mexican go vern Bceat another prolonged war.- It. haa been but two years since the" last up rising of the Yaauls was put down, after nearly fourteen years of flghtlnjr, and the rebellion now on had aU lndl oattons of preparedness. ' Contrary to statements made that the Yaqnls would ; not molest the American "residents in Sonora the Yaqul country there have already been slain a number of Ameri can gold prospectors. Indeed, -it has developed that one of the causes of the uprising was the fact that.. the gov ernment permitted Americans to come Into Sonora and dig gold. The Yaquis claim to hold the Sonora country by right of occupation for centuries back 1SCKNB OF THB PttESSNT and . by . confirmation of . title by the King of Spain Jong before the Mexican orernment was thought of. t When Mexico revolted and establish ed her independence the-Yaqnls refused ' to recognize the new government and ' proclaimed their own Independence and -autonomy. - Since then the effort to ob - tain from . them . , recognition of the -authority a,nd law- of Mexico has led to frequent collisions between ' them and . the government troops; pitched 1 battles nave 'been fought and though generally beaten by superior .forces t: "' "fAQUr . INDIAN 6lBI r'. S" :n'e wry iSn, A 1 1 if y-- lSrBWTQMa M;ggv,l.iJ : llMi and forced to retreat for the time, they have never yet been subdued.' Already In the Insurrection now on the Yaquis have routed forces of Mexican soldiers sent against them, and the government is mobilizing a - large army to pit against the , wily warriors. The ' Ya- - quia' method of fighting is one taught ;them by nature and experience. When . beaten they retreat into the almost in accessible fastnesses of the Sierra Ma- ' dres;' whither the government troops t dare not follow ithem, and there await 4 the departure of the troops, when they . : again descend and clear out the people .who have established .themselves on their lands.' Though the population of the Yaqnl country ; does not ' exceed 15.000, the male portion combine to make a. formidable foe, and the Mexi- can government' anticipates a. war of t mix months or more. , I j ,; j f torr of the Toqnla. " The Indians' Inhabit the valley of Sonora. They are good agriculturists when allowed to till their farms In peace,' an their valley: being rich and fertile has tempted covetous men with " little regard for 'right to take advan ' tage of the peculiar ' features of the "-Mexican laws In regard to taking up land 1 and filing claims on the Yaqul ; holdings. ..These, iof , course, under-.-: . standing little of law and moved by a (tense of Injustice,. have resisted the aciiure, and troops, have been called ' 'out' ti enforce the law that is, put the '- new claimant la -'possession of the , Taqul land taken under the-law. The Taqul s -have stood together and made i good .fights after their fashion, and t when compelled to do so retired, only to return when the troops were wlth , drawn to take forcible possession of -eg YAQVI PBON AXD BW PLOT BR. .r - their own again, in former lnsurrec ,. ttohs thoy had but few firearms, but .h .jrhen.tho: Sonora railroad to Guaymas wa built they ; furnished a large pro portion of the laborers, and with the ..money earned Winchester rifles were ' purchased, with which they have been much more formidable antagonists . than before and aro more conscious of f their own strensth. IS the war is continued until the Yaquis are pacified or exterminated dire disaster is sure to befall that beau tiful State, The extermination of the Yaqnl Indians simply means the de struction of the manual labor In So nora. The Yaquis are not only the best and most trusted workers in Sonora, but they constitute the. largest number of able worklngmen in that State. The Yaquis can In no way De compared with the Indians of the western part of United States, except, perhaps, the Cherokees and a few, other tribes known for their peacefulness and for their love of application to agriculture. Since the very first settlement of So nora by the Spaniards the Yaquis have inhabited a small triangular territory situated in the delta of the Yaqul River and extending from the Gulf to a place Inland called Buena Vista. A few Yaquis are settled as far up as Comu rifa, but the principal Yaqul country is as Just stated further down the coast In this territory the Yaquis were found by the Spaniards, and their tradition is that here they have resided from im memorial times. For centuries the Mexican government, acknowledged the right of the Yaquis to live In and to cultivate this territory and for cen turies the Yaquis remained peacefully at their work of cultivating the soil YAQUI INDIAN UPKISING. and as general " laborers : elsewhere. Within their territory the Yaquis have even now retained an independent gov ernment, with chiefs to decide accord ing to their laws, and to mete out pun ishment to :the guilty, and so perfect has been their method of self-government that :the Mexican government has had no occasion to interfere. The Yaqul is by nature moral and indus trious and no complaint can be made against him on that account All over Sonora there are found Yaquis In time of peace working in the fields and in the mines and even as laborers on the railroads. In the latter capacity they are more valued and more trusted than any Mexicans, and we know of in stances where railroad agents have preferred Yaqul section bosses to those of other nationalities. ; Pon't Want Land Divided.' As a laborer the Yaqul Is hard-working and.faithfjul and can always be re lied on.' He does not shirk his work when his foreman turns his back and he does not' shorten his day's work by continued cigarette smoking. No won der, therefore, that he is highly valued for the work he can and does perform. As do many other laborers, he gets drunk when pay comes on Saturday evening but he confines his carousing to the rancheria in which he lives and keeps his family and when Monday morning comes around every man is at his work. The Yaqul country from Buena Vista to the gulf has always been held as common property by the Yaquis as a tribe and has never, been portioned out to Individuals as In other communities. The reason for this is found in the nature of the territory it self. The fertility of the Yaqul, delta depends entirely upon the overflow of the Yaqul Elver. In times of heavy rains the delta and adjacent river bot tom lands are covered by water or made moist by sub-Irrigation, while In dry seasons the contrary Is the cause. CAMP SCENE IN THE YAQUI COUNTRY. As the territory is large, each individ ual Yaqui can always find a place suit able for cultivation for that particular season. Next season he may have to find moisture and other conditions nec essary. Now it is evident that If the land were not held In common and If every Yaqui had his own allotted piece some would possess suitable land for cultivation, while others would have dry lands, which would be worthless unless properly irrigated. Much of the present trouble with the Yaquis arises from this fact The Mexlcflgovern ment wants the Yaquis to divide their land so that every Individual may pos sess his own plot 1 hey Take to the Mountains. Colonel Martinez of the Mexican army, in an interview on the Yaqui in surrection, says: "The Indians have been restless for some months past They object to American prospectors invading the mountains of their coun try In quest of gold. : We were expect ing an outbreak and were not unpre paied. If we can cut off the Indians before they reach their strongholds, our work will be easy enough, but once In the mountains, conquest of the In surgents will be a diflicult problem. That was the trouble during the ten years' war which ended two years ago, and cost Mexico much blood and trea sure. The Indians retreated to the mountains, where they could not be pursued, and at every favorable oppor tunity swooped down upon the troops or assailed neighboring villages, mur dering and plundering. If the Indians do not surrender a war of extermina tion will ensue. It Is a pity, too, for General Diaz had hopes the Indians would remain friendly, and become civ ilized., Not long ago he sent thirty school teachers Into their country - to instruet vthem and to establish schools and colleges. These may have been murdered for all that Is known, for some of -them went Into the outlying districts. So far as I can learn, the In dians are well armed. They have. In fact been buying weapons ever since their leaders signed the treaty of peaee, and I do not believe they ever had any idea of keeDing the truce. The murder of their own chiefs who had accepted ofllce under the Mexican government indicates that they have grown desper ate and that the contest will be fierce. The tactics of the Yaquis are to attack middenlv and to ambush and imme diately after the assault to run back into the mountains, where no one can follow them. After 'a Yaqul has fought for some time he suddenly be comes a peaceful Indian 'and leaves the territory In which the war rages. This haDDens when his ammunition is all spent; he must then provide himself with more. This he does by working In Arizona and New Mexico, as in these places he can procure arms with his savings and return when be has enough. When he has accumulated enough he returns by passing from Arizona through the Sierra Madre wil derness, where he is free from sol diers' bullets and from observing eyes, and when least expected he turns np fully equipped with munitions to carry on the war. The-Yaqul Is not the blood-thirsty beast that some re ports have made him out to be. He is brave, industrious and peaceful; he does not torture his prisoners, but neither does he allow them to escape. In 1897 peace was made with the Ya quis. The government promised them a certain sum of money and they In turn agreed to have their land survey ed and partitioned. During the ' last two years the Yaquis have quietly been working in the mines of Sonora and Arizona and have saved their earnings in order to procure arms to renew the war. Whatever will be the outcome of the war. It will be a most ruinous one for Sonora. - If the Yaquis are exter minated, as the reports tell us is the In tention of General Torres, then the ef fect will soon be felt It will mean the extermination of the manual labor in Sonora; It will mean the crippling of her wheat and mining industries. The Mexican government could well have afforded to allow the Yaquis to remain in possession of their land, as their value as laborers is many, many times greater than the price that can be real ized by selling their land. Sonora is a country with immense resources, with enormous tracts of fertile soil ' where almost everything might -be grown profitably. Such crops as wheat sugar cane, beans, corn, oranges, ; dates, peaches, apricots and many other fruits are hardly surpassed anywhere. ; "; CLEVER TRICKS OF RAVENS. Some Think the Bird Mnat Possess the ; Power of Reasoning. Many stories are. told of the clever ness of the raven, a bird that really seems to have reasoning power. One of these stories tells how a raven by a skillful stratagem got a young hare for Its dinner. It had pounced upon a lit tle animal, but the mother hare drove It away. , .', - -',;.-.-, Then the raven slowly retreated, en couraging the mother to follow- him, and even pretending that he was afraid of her. In this fashion he led her a con siderable distance from the young one and then suddenly, before the bare had time to realize the meaning of the trick, he rose in the air, flew swiftly back, caught the young hare In his beak and bore It away. .; A similar plan was adopted by some ravens that wished to steal food from a dog. They teased him till he grew so angry that he chased them from the spot but the artful birds turned sharp ly around, easily reached the dish be fore him and carried off the choicer bits in triumph. ' As to the raven's power of speech, the following story, which is given on the authority of Capt, Brown, who vouches for Its truthwill show how aptly It can talk: A gentleman while traveling through a wood In the South of England was startled by hearing a ehout of "Fair play, gentlemen; fair play!" uttered In loud tones. , The cry being presently repeated, the traveler thought It must proceed from someone In distress and at one began to search for him. He soon dfecovered two ravens fiercely at tacking a third. He was so struck with the appeal of the oppressed bird that he promptly rescued him. Jt turned out that the victim was a tame raven, belonging to a house In the neighborhood, and the cry that It bad used so opportunely was one of many that it had been taught to utter.

Rock Island Road Adopts Smoke-Con- uiuer for Their Engines. The Rock Island Railroad has estab lished a precedent in the West by equipping their engines with smoke-consumers, which entirely do away with the heavy volume of black amoke whioh is so disagreeable to passengers. This experiment has been thoroughly tested during the past few months, on tbeii Colorado Flyer, and has proved to be such a success that the Rock Island has - adopted it - over its entire system, and, as soon as possible, all of their engines will be equipped with this new device' and immediately be put back into service?"? , This smokeless firing, as it is porper ly called, will be valuable to both pa tron and the road. To the patron it does away with the black, sooty amoke and cinders, thus adding much to the pleasure of traveling; and. to the road, it is a saving in fuel as well as making the- appearance and equiment of the train up to date. The good results from this new equipment are unlimit ed and everything is favorable and for the best interests of all. To make this smokeless firing a success, two things are necessary; the equipment of the engine with the proper apparatus neces sary to consume the hydrocarbons, thrown off from the coal, and the thorough training of engineer and fire man in the manner of firing and the best methods of proceeding ' at all times in order to obtain the desired re sults. The manner of equipment is briefly as follows: In the fire box of the en gine is built a hollow brick arch. Be low this and about a foot above the grates are bored four holes in the aides of the fire box. In each of these holes 1 is inserted a Sharp's patent deflecting air "tube, connecting with the hollow arch. Through these tubes the out side air is drawn in and, aftet being heated, is allowed to mix with the on consumed gasses or hydrocarbons. By this mixing the gasses are transferred into a perfect state of combustion and in this state they are consumed, and thoroughly: disposed .of, thus prevent ing them from being forced out into' the air as is the case - today on nearly every railroad in the United States. Assistant-General Manager W. ,i. Allen, and Superintendent of Motive Power G. T. Wilson, of the Rock Island, express themselves as more than pleased with the results of this new move on the part of the road. General Manager McGowan, of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company, has arranged for the erection of a car plant, and the the company will build and repair all of its own oars. . .
