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

t When Mexico revolted and establish

' to recognize the new government and

-autonomy. - Since then the effort to ob

-authority a,nd law- of Mexico has led
to frequent collisions between ' them

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. ,

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. . .
