Mexican Troops Defeat the Hostiles In an
Engagement.

NoGALEs, A. r., February 23.-TSpecial. +
OF late the Mexican troops have been getting
the best of every fight had with the rebellious
Yagui Indians, and this fact gives rise to the
hope that the great Yagui war may yet be
brought TO close and peace once more re-
stored in southern Sonora. The last fight oc-
cured few days ago at the little village Of
Batachi, in the wilds of the Bairtel noun
tains. Captain Encoso, Mt the head Of a mum
Der Of troops and large party of citizens or
poems from the ranches attacked the Indians
who were fortified in q strong position. The
Yaguis defended themselves braYely, and tho
combat ragged from 2 o'clock until nghtfall,
when the battle was suspended owing TO the
darkness. The following morning, with the
intent Of continuing the battle, the troops
moved on to the Indian Notifications, but
found them deserted, the Yaguis having left
during the night with their wounded. In the
pits were found the dead bodies Of ten Indians.
Captain Encoso sustained the loss Of one
killed and two wounded. Encoso is in hot
pursuit Of the Indians with "A reinforcement OF
fifty more men from the Twelfth battalion,
and Is well supplied with munitions of war.
General Guerra has ordered the soldiers en-
camped at Patam TO form combination with
Encoso, with the object Of surrounding the In
dams.

The Nerve and Presence of Mind of a
Switchman.

TUscoLA, Ills, February 23.-[Special /
The presence of mind of q switchman on
the Chicago ana Eastern Illinois rail-
road, at Grape Creek, this morn
ing, prevented what might have been
another railroad horror. A freight engine at
the head of twenty loaded coal cars came
laundering down the steep incline, which leads
to the coal mine at great rate, being utterly
unmanageable. The switchman seeing the run
away train would dash into the rear of the pas
on the main track, quickly turned the switch.
This threw the engine and coal cars off the
track, and the whole was piled in confusion
causing damage to the amount of probably
$4,000. Engineer Bogart jumped from tho
freight engine and received dangerous wounds

Failure of Crops and Scarcity of Game Cause
Distress,

ST. PAUL, February 24.-An Edmonton cor
respondent of the Pioneer Press gives the facts
in regard to reports of the starving condition
of Indians in the far north. He says the fail
ure of crops and the scarcity Of game has left
the Indians solely dependent on the Indian de-
partment for food. Government supplies have
failed to come, and the consequence is most
deplorable. All the stock of fish they had
frozen in the early part of the winter was
spoiled by the mild weather in January The
chiefs Of White Fish Lake and other tribes
became demonstrative, and threatened the
government officials with retaliation unless
food Was given them.
