Engiisnmsn Encroaching on Mexicaa
Territory.

MExIco, June Much attention Is be-
ing given by the Mexican press to reports
that are coming from the State of Yucatan
with regard TO the encroachments Of the
English on Mexican territory in that por-
ton of the Republic. 1t is ayerred that
notes have been recently interchanged on
this subject between the Mexican Govern
ment and the British Legation at this cspi-
tai. The points made by the former are:
First, that the English, not content with
occupying portion of the Mexican terri
tory to which they have no legal or histori-
cal right, have recently crossed what was
tacitly regarded as limits to that territory;
second, that they have persistently supplied
the wild, unsubdued Indians In those re-
gions with arms and ammunition to carry
on the war against the Mexican Govern
ment The portion of the territory alluded
to is that known as British Honduras or
Belize Las Noticias, an independent lib
eral organ, in its issue yesterday calls on
the Government to protect the integrity of
the nation territory against the aggressive
ambition of the English, and prophesies
that unless Mexico takes timely action, the
rich and fio1rishing State OF Yucatan will
be absorbed by Great Britain.

War With Burglars.

PoRrAGE, WIS.,, June 4-James Brodie
had an exciting time with burglars
Shortly after midnight Mr.. Brodie and his
wife were awakened by noise IS of some
one in the house. Brodie jumped from his
bed and seizing double-bsrrelled shotgun
started into the haH. As he stepped from
the room he saw four men. He fired
twice at them but apparently without
effect, as thsy ran down stairs. As they
did they opened fusillade from pistols
The balls sang all around Brodie, but
luckily~he was not hit. At the foot of
the stairs the burglars halted and gave .
parting volley before they left the house.
Seventeen bullets were found this morning.
An attempt was made to enter1Mr. Brodie's
house q week ago, but a dog drove he
thieves away. 1t is said at that time il the
dog had not frightened them away they
would have secured quite a sum of money.
This time the dog was quieted by meat,
and had not Mr.. Brodie interfered with his
shotgun the burglars would have made Q
rich haul

.'White Caps" went TO the house Of Alex
andet Macke, worthless young fellow Ey-
ing with his parents near Ludlow, Dubois
county, and knocked at his door. As he
appeared he was grabbed by two strong
men and dragged TO grove two hundred
yards distant, where they slipped gag into
his mouth and informed him that the OBJ
ject of their visit was TO punish him for his
brutal treatment OF Mr.. Noah Willis
an old Mexican veteran whom he came
near beating to death short time ago
Macke was stripped to the waist and his
arms tied around small tree, when each
member Of tire party gave him five lashes,
cutting his flesh in q horrible manner. They
then left him in an unconscious condition
to be relieved by his father.
They also served notice for corn thief to
leave the county Immediately or !. he would
be visited by them. The people in this vic
unity are greatly excited over the outragea
but are powerless to do anything
