dent Chase, General Manager Wheeler Of
the A. T. Il S. F., arrived this morning.
Gov. Ortez and Gen. Reyes, command
ing the Federal troops, have assumed a
hostile attitude. Ortez, with his State
Legislature, and $50 troops, left Hermo-
siIlo and located here. Reyes followed
them with 200 Federal soldiers, and on
the oath Ortez's body servant was shot in
the street by the Federals as a deserter
from the Sixth Battalion. He refused to
surrender. Ortez declares Reyes and the
Federals to be revolutiopists. Reyes says
that he is protecting the people from the
fund loan of Ortez. The people take very
little interest, as the trouble is considered
q personal matter between the Governor
Of the State and the Federal General. A
commission left here for Hermosillo to-
day TO geek an adjustment Of the difficulty.
The troops of both parties parade the
streets. No bloodshed is anticipated. 1t
is rumored that Ortez will resign in favor
Of yice-Governor Anton Escolante. If
this is done the trouble is at an end. Word

pitched battle between the Mayo Yaques
Indians and the State troops over 100 were
killed and a large number wounded. OF
the troops q we're killed.
