Inhabitants Resist lint il Amniu nition Is Exhausted. Slaughter Follow« Victory of In­ dians Young Women Carried Off Into Mountains. El Paso, Tex.—Yiupii Indians, after an attack lasting two days, have cap­ tured the Sonora town of San Marcial, slaughtered many of the inhabitants and carried off several girls to the mountains. The inhabitants of the town, the s|>ecial says, fought until their ammu­ nition gave out, when the Indians, who attacked in force of several hun­ dred, gained entrance. Scenes of terrific slaughter followed, only a few escaping to curry the tale to the out­ side world. The Indiana retreated to the mountiatins, carrying the young women with them. San Marcial is in the center of the Sonora c al district, a little more than fit) miles southeast of Hermosillo, This is the first time so far as known here where Yaquia successfully aaaaultad so large a town. The Indians are said to be using military tactics acquired during two years of training in Maderos forces to advantage, gathering force until they have practically what might i>e termed an army. All are armed with high- power ritles secured during the gov­ ernment service. Official apprehension of another re­ bel attack on Juarez was aroused by the operations of the Yaqui» in San Marcial. A recommendation from the State department in Washington in Septem­ ber that HMM) men be kept in Juarez to avoid a re|>etition of the casualties in­ cidental to the Madero revolution has not been complied with. The town has a garrison of 500 men and a small artillery force. All the money in Christendom and all the banka in Christendom could not form a monopoly that would control money.

This empire iast- •«! for more than 1,000 years. Its cap- 'tai was Byzantium, now Conatantl- lople. Its greatest names are Justin­ ian. who reigned from 527 to 5C5, and Loo the Isaorian. who seized the throne In 716, During the succeeding ages there were constant struggles with the Saracens and the Bulgarians. It was In the eleventh century that the Byzantine empire »as thn-aten- ed and Its power broken by the Seljuk •Turks In 1204 the French and the Venetians captured Constantinople, and there was a period of western rule for nearly 50 years The Turks first made a permanent settlement tn Eu­ rope by the taking of Gallipoli In 1354. In 1361 the Sultan Amurath took Adrianople, and made it the seat of government. Uullmately Constanti­ nople was captured by Mohammed II. on May 29. 1453, when the Byzantine empire came to an end. From that day to this the Turkish empire in Europe has been a well-established fact, with many dramatic chapters, the last of which may perhaps be told In our day. T History of Ada-Kal«h.

Other parts of New South Wales were affected, but no deaths were reported. Washington, D, C.—The "literacy test” immigration bill, which passed the house Friday and was brought back to the senate for its concurrence, was sent to conference Saturday.

Seattle, Wash.—Fourteen thousand pounds of halibut sold for the record price of lilt cents a pound when the fishing stenmer Molola arrived here from a 22-day cruise off Vancouver Island.

These coffee bouses are the scene of considerable life, es­ pecially on Fridays, the feast day of the Mohammedans. Though the ta­ bles are thickly thronged, there Is no noise; little conversation Is indulged tn. most of the men merely quietly smoking their long pipes or drinking their Turkish coffee.

Ada-Kaleh baB had an Interesting history, and played an Important part In the Turkish wars of the seven­ teenth and eighteenth centuries. When Ludwig the Great thought of erecting a fortress at Orsova in 1371 the ques­ tion of the Island was considered, but was rejected, leaving it to its primeval forest, which served as a hiding place for robbers and river pi­ rates. But in the year 1687, when the Turks were driven back from Vi­ enna and pursued by Karl of Lothrln- gen and Sobieski of Poland, these two great commanders were struck by the position of the island and or­ dered It to be fortified. Small Salaries. An interesting figure In the Balkan struggle Is General Vukotlc, now commanding the Montenegrin force in tho Sandjak of Novkl Bazar. General Vukotlc has traveled in America, as aide-de-camp to Prince—now King— Nicholas.

General Vukotle is a man of middle age. splendid phy­ sique, and, like all his nation, a war­ rior born. He was received with wild delight after the capture of Byelopolje. one of the fortresses of the Sandjak before this province of Turkey was evacuated at the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The letter was mailed in New York on December 12, receiv­ ed by the governor’s secretary at Trenton the next day and turned over to the postal authorities. It is now in possession of United States Assistant District Attorney Lindabury, who de­ clines to discuss it. The receipt of the second threaten­ ing letter became known at the ar­ raignment of Jacob and Warren Dunn and Seeley Davenport, of Wharton, the three so-called mountaineers, who were charged with having sent Gover­ nor Wilson onjNovember 11 last a let­ ter demanding $5000xunder threat of death. The hearing was not concluded, but United States Commissioner Stockton dismissed the case against Warren Dunn and took under advisement a motion to make a similar ruling in the case of Davenport. Against Jacob Dunn, alleged author of the threatening letter, the govern­ ment made out a strong case, Commis­ sioner Stockton said. He held Dunn, pending the conclusion of the hearing. i ikmpont mokoan . Charles M.

On the porch of his house, surrounded by many of his Immediate friends, sat Seward, calm and confident. At their hal­ yards flags tugged for permission to rise. Cannon, loaded, awaited the word from Thurlow Weed. Seward's manager at Chicago, which would per­ mit them to proclaim the expected glad tidlugs. "Dashing down the street, a horse man pulled up at Seward's house and handed him a telegram of the first ballot—'Seward 173.

The position of the port of South­ ampton Is that of England's premier passenger port, and no further evi­ dence of this is needed than the fact that 304,045 passengers and 47,968 troops, giving a total of 352,013 per­ sons. arrived in the port and depart­ ed from the docks in 1910. The geo­ graphical position of the port is not only unique, in that it is situated al­ most midway on the coast line of the English channel and within easy ac­ cess by rail of the metropolis, but it is blessed with the unusual natural advantage of double tides, which give it virtually four hours of high water twtee a day—an advantage enjoyed by no other port in the world.

Brigandage and Ijiwlessness Rouse Ire of American Government, and Muât Be Stopped. Washington, D. C.—Henry Lane Wilson, United States ambassador to Mexico, who has been here in confer­ ence with the State department offi­ cials regarding conditions in Mexico, ha« gone to New York, preparatory to sailing for his post. He is without the expected note of representation this government is preparing to send to the Mexican government demanding protection for citizen* and their prop­ erty. This action is taken as a further evidence of the intention of the ad­ ministration to deal circumspectly with this delicate situation. The com­ munication is being prepared with the greatest care in the State department, and will be transmitted to the United States ambassador early in January. The deliberation with which the officials are moving is expected to re­ sult in the production of a brief that is expected to be well-nigh unanswer­ able except by a promise of prompt and adequate action on the part of the Mexican government to meet fairly and fully the demands of the United States in the matter of the plain American interests in Mexico. Justification for this demand by the United States is declared to be found in the numerous reports from every quarter that conditions in Mexico have grown worse since the dispatch of Secretary Knox's note of protest last September, and that there has been a marked increase in brigandage and in the kidnaping of citizens of the Uni­ ted States for ransom and in the levy­ ing of forced war loans by rebels on American mines and plantations. Washington, D. C.—The condition of dying men crowded around wells endeavoring to obtain water is des­ cribed by Mrs. Rockhill, wife of the American ambassador at Constanti­ nople, in a letter to Miss Mabel T. Boardman, of the American Red Cross. Mrs. Rockhill writes that in and about one building in San Stefano were lying 500 men in complete desti­ tution as a sequence to the Balkan war. She says it is impossible to es­ timate the number of the sick or dead, but that many corpses are unburied, She report« that American effort« in San Stefano have resulted in taking care of the dying and the dead who hitherto lay in helpless, hopeless misery.
