 GUAYMAs, Oct. 1G.--Military operations , are lively, and deep interest is manifested in the rapidly approaching Indian war. National guards are arriving daily, and a general concentration of all the troops in the state isn now taking place at Hermosillo. Governor Ortiz has issued orders directing. the impressment of ali persons possible for the coming campaign. Still another "prestamc" is being collected 0he secoud in two months) to meet the contingent eX- penses of the impending Yaqui- Mayo diff faculties. The governstic pedestal of Car | los Ortiz is in rather a shaky condition, the underpinning is liable to give way, at any moment and prostrate him to earth. As it stands now he can control only the state troops which number about 1,500, and it would be worse than folly for him to att tempt to maneuvcr this small force against the combined army of the Yaquis and Mayos, who
 OUTNUMBER THAT SMALL SQUAD
 ten to one, It is a question whether he will ask help from Gen. Carbo, his sworn enemy, and whether Carbo would assist him if he was asked Carbo is small, but very intelligent man, and good gen. cral, and I think he will come without be- ing invited by Ortiz, as he is now only awaiting an opportunity to cut short the rule of his bigoted and conceited foe. Carbo is division commander of the states of Sinaloa, Durango and Sonora, and by placing himself at the head of the federal forces, could, on some preteXt common to Mexican rule, make it so warm for Ortiz that he would have to abdicate and retire to some foreign cline for his health If Carbo comes there will be one of the bloOdiest wars ever enacted within the boundaries of Sonora. In connection with q gentleman belonging to Ortiz's cabinet of state officials, 1 broached the subject of

 of the Indians of the Yaqui and Mayo rivers, and what would be the effect upon the state government. He said that all the forces that could be mustered into the ranks from the people of the state could not defeat the Indians, and that they would be completely powerless to stop the advance of them upon their cities with out the aid of the federal forces, and it was still 10 be seen what action the gOvcr- nor would take. He thought 1t quite lm- probable that Ortiz would call upon Gen eral Carbo for assistance but the latter was in duty bound to protect the inhat- itants of the state, though it would be better for all if Carbo would remain where he now is { Mazatlan ), for if he were to come, it would plunge the state into civil war that would be unprecedented in history as the state and federal troops and Indians would be fighting promiscuously and such a warfare would undoubtedly interfere with American interests and an intervention from the United States would surely come. "God pity our poor pco- pie if it comes to this" he added.
 REVOLUTION HAS SUCCEEDED REVOCATION for years and 1 have hoped that our two years of peaceful rule would continue for countless more, but it seems we are a doomed people and have to suffer and suffer, We have tried to initiate the
