TUCSON, August 25th.-Deputy
United States Marshal Evans re-
turned on Tuesday night from Ari.
vaca, where he went to arrest the
Mexican followers of Reyes, there
held in custody by Deputy Sheriff
Elliott. He summoned two men
to bring the prisoners to Tucson.
They arrived this evening at five
o'clock, and were at once escorted
to the jail, where they remained
until balf.past six O'clock, when
eight of them were sent to Fort
Lowell for safe keeping, Captain
Tadeo Yreretogena remaining in
the custody of Marshall Evans.
At the arrival of the prisoners
Star reporter called at the Jail and
interviewed Capt. Yreretogena and
a Spaniard. well educated, speak
ing French and English quite 1u-
emily, and q gentleman who seems
to have been entirely carried away
by his political convictions. The
Captain said Reyes and about
thirty men, himself included, left
Tucson on the 9Th inst. for Sonora.
The first place we arrived at was
Aqua Sacra, where Reyes got
twenty horses, which he had en-
gagged. We there met Mr.. l.. w.

clio. We made Pancho Rivera a
prisoner and captured all the arms
in the town. Thence We went to
Magdalena, where Colonel Reyes
stole $4500. PanchO Rivera was
here liberated and all his property
returned to him. Hs should not
have been 80 we'll treated, as he
killed one of our men who had been
left behind sick on q ranch, by
dragging him out Of bed and shoot
ing him. From Magdalena we
went to Altar, and here we believe
Reyes stole some more money,
though we have no evidence of 1t,
as he never accounted to us or
gave US cent. We then started to
Pitiquito, and heard there were $50
national troops in the vicinity,
which we went out to meet at
night, but failed to find them. We
returned at daybreak. Reyes then
wanted to await the government
troops, but, as we were discouraged
by his failure in fulfilling his
promises. having engaged his WORD
to get us arms, ammunition and
provisions, and only twenty out Of
the sixty of US had arms, we re.
fused to fight and agreed to return
to Arizona. We left for Terbutama
in the forenoon. AT 8 P. N. we were
told that the enemy was coming;
so we were ordered to march to
Sassaba. just on the Sonora line.
As we got down there the enemy
fired upon us. Ten of our. armed
men took possession Of the hill and
fought q few minutes, when
Reyes ordered the retreat. The
Nationals followed US for
over nine miles. The next day we
crossed the line and saw about 80
men on hill, about 100 yards dis
tant; they did not shoot, but hol-
lowed at US. Two miles further,
while taking o rest, we concluded
to scatter in parties of two and
three, when about nine miles in
United States territory. These
same men met US again and open
| en- fire. Just then we met an
American and Portuguese in
a wagon, who said we were on
American soil. One man, Vidal
Nunez, got on the wagon and
handed his arms to the owner, who
drove off with him. The Ma.
tionals fired upon the wagon,
which stopped. They claimed
Nunez, but the American refused
to give him up, SO they contented
themselves by taking the Mexi-
cams arms and property. When
We at last reached DR.. Wilour's
place we told the ladies we were
compelled to enter the house ia
protect ourselves, which we did;
and, after q while, we sent a mes
senger to sheriff Elliott at Ariva.
ca, and when he came we gave our.
selves up. The Nationals made
three OF our mtn prisoners OH
American territory, about ten
miles from the Sonora border. They
are A mado Ojeda. Carlos Calderon
and Felipe SalzadO. We claim
that we never went to Sonora with
any filibustering views and killed
no peaceable citizens. We wen,

of the Diaz government, intended
