LATER FROM YUCATAN.

The brig Tasso, Capt Grey, arrived yester-
day from Ssal, having sailed the 2lst instant.
Among her passengers was Mr. David G.
Wilds, formerly an officer of the 18th i. S.
Infantry. Mr.. Wilds left Merida the night OF
the goth He comes over here empowered by
the Government of Yucatan to raise troops
with which 10 make head against the Indians.
The design is to form regiment of Americans.
There are about eighty Americans now in &C.
tual service in Yucatan, and $50 more have
gone thlther under Capt. White but full re-
giment Of AT least 600 men is needed. W.,
With Mr.. Wil,!s we have had converse
ton upon the position OF affairs between the
whites and the Indians. Or late the Indians
have generally been defeated in their skirmi-
shes with the whites, but the latter are out
numbered and are unable to make any serious
impressions upon their foes. Reliance must
be had upon better description of force
From Meri Ia, the whites are operating in five
distinct lines radating from that centre, to-
wards the territory in the occupation of the
Indians, whose headquarters and general rem
devious are liasuca, a town far in the lnterl-
or. In the third and fourth divisions are the
Americans serving, of whom we have lately
heard as being engaged with great credit to
themselves The city of ValIadolid is in the
possession of the Indians. II is a place OF
Importance and formerly OF wealth. The
fouIth division was pushed directly upon that
city, and had advanced within sight of it by
the route of IZamal, Tunkaz, Citax, Tinum
and Pisoy. Having reached Pisoy the news
Of the taking Of Yaxcaba by the Indians ar
rived, and the division was ordered to fall
back. Its headquarters at last accounts were
at !zamal. but considerable garrison was lef
IN Tunkax, Oitax and Tenum. The last new!
is that the Indians were in the force in iii,
neighborhood of all these towns, and had mad,
several attempts 10 carry them, but so far hat
failed, They are so numerous that a repuIs,
does not dishearten them, and they are nov
threatening Izamal. With skilful leaders the
would overrun the country at once
We learn from Mr.. Wids the present posi-
ton of the troops on each line OF operations
but haye given that of one only Withou
continued reference 10 good maps, our reader:
would not comprehend the positio 8, am
would only be confused with the repetition OF
bal barous names. The truth. upon the whole
seems TO be that the Indians are in possession
Of the largest and most fertile portions of the
country, and that they will retain it until dis
possessed by race superior 10 that which is
now dlsputing with them the dominion of the
peninsula N o. Pic.

DEATH OF GEN. KEARNEY.

We have (says the Baltimore Sum- already
announced by Geographic dispatch from ST.
Louis, the death of Brigadier General Stephen
w Kearney, on the 3lst ult No officer Of
the army stood higher in the estimation of his
fellow soldiers, or of the country generally.
The Philadelphia Bulletin says
"Gen. Kearney was born in Newark, New
Jersey, about the year 1898, and was thus in
his 55th year at the time OF his death He en-
tered the army as Lieutenant. in 1912; fought
al Queenston and served through the war with
credit He was made a Major in 1924, a
Lieutenant Colonel in 1888, full Colonel in
1886, and full Brigadier General in 1916.
His abilities as tactcan were acknow lodged
to be very superior, and have been frequently
made use of by our government in drilling
and improving the cavalry arm of the service
"When the war with Mexico broke out,
Gen. Kearney was selected by the President
to command the expedition against New Mex
leo and California. His march to these dis
tant provinces was admirably planned and ad-
mirably executed. The various engagements
on the river ella, with superior forces of the
enemy, and the suppression of the revolt Of
the native population, established his charac-
ter as an able commander in the battlefield
and as judicious military governor His re.
turn TO the United States after the establish
ment of peace in the province, was hailed
with Joy, and he was every where received
with demonstrations of respect. His subse
quent services in Mexico were also every
where applauded."
