Capt. Bourke, well known in Washington,
was specially assigned to the duty of prevent
ing the organization Of raiding parties for
operations in Mexico: In report to the War
Department in regard to these bands he saws
they have perfect organization, q good system
of signals, thorough knowledge of the
country and being without uniform readily
transform themselves into ranchers or herders
in few minutes. He refers to them as
Unreasonable bands OF assassins" and says that
$50 long as the American government div
dallys with them they will continued to COM
bine against Mexico, xhile at the same time
they hate the very sight Of the id gringos,
AS they call the American soldier" He adds
that 1.-THE cheapest thing is to shoot them
down whenever they are found skulking about
with arms and also to burn the ranches which
give them shelter"
In explanation Of Capt. Bourke's vigorous
language it may be stated that he found con-
siderable difficulty in conducting his campaign
against these mon. because they were shielded
by men in Texas. who, while claiming to be
citizens Of the United States, were doing all
they could to aid and abet the revolution
against Mexico.
THE WORST FEATURE OF THE OUTBREAK.
The worst feature Of the present outbreak is
the assault on the Mexican troops at ST. Igna-
clio, where an officer and several soldiers were
corraled in hut and burned to death without
a chance for their lives. This strocious act
was committed by party of men who came
from Texas. 1t is said on behalf Of the United
States that they were Mexicans, but the Mexi-
can government is not altogether satisfied
that such ia the case and they have entered
formal protest against any more nnarauders
crossing the line. Meanwhile both govern
ments arc doing all they can to patrol tho
frontier for the preservation of peace, and
each has found it necessary to increase it,
military force to that end. II IL . difficult
task BECAUSE Of tho vast extent Of territory to
be guarded, bat there b every reason to bslisvs
u VIII be successful in preventing further occa-
sion for friction between the two cornfriea

THE NAVAJO TROUBLE.

CooLIDGE,N. NJ, Feb. lO.-Trouble
between Navajo Indians and cattle
men arose on account of renegade
Indians killing cattle. The superin-
tendent of "box S" range and others
had interviewed Chief Mariana and
requested him to have the Indians
leave the lowlands on their ranges
and not TO trespass, and Mariana re-
quested ten days to move the Indians.
This was granted, but the Indians
around Chaves wish to cross the
ranges and trade at Montoya's store.
This was refused, and Chief Mariana
said all right, then they would trade
al Wingate and Wickum's store, near
Wingate. Tuesday three Indians
were found coming down the trail
towards Chaves, and the cowmen
ordered them back and they went
back on the bluff and built a signal
fire and about forty renegade Indians
came to their assistance and marched
to Chaves in defiance of the cowmen
and their promise not to trespass.
There were no cowmen at Chaves at
the time, and the Indians claimed
that their deserted camps had been
burned by cowmen and they were
going to get even. They threatened
to burn the San Antonio ranch, occu-
pied by Codingtou. The Indians
left Chaves going towards San An
tonic ranch. Harry Codington and
mother, with two men, were at the
ranch, and when near the ranch,
about GAO p. M, four shots were
heard and reported to cowmen at
Coolidge, and fifteen cowmen armed
themselves and left on horses for San
Antonio ranch, sixteen miles, arriv-
ing at 8 p. M, but all was quiet.
They remained until noon today but
no Indians were seen. Lieutenant

Cara is still in the field and appar-
emily undaunted by the vigilant, but
thus far vain search that is being
made for him by the troops of both

peared as the avowed organ of the
revoluticnists. El Chinaco publishes
IL copy OF what purports to he a
lengthy letter, sent by Garza to
President Harrison. 1t is written
under date January 81, at La Sier-
rita, state of Tamplico, Mexico.
Garza's letter explains the purposes
of the revolutionists to restore a Re
publican form of government in Mex
leo, and condemns the press for hav-
ing placed him in the light of ban
dit and violator of the neutrality

Inspector Selton this asternoon con-

made false reports in regard to the
fire escapes upon the Hotel Royal.
Over a year ago the owners of the
building were ordered to put fire es-
capes upon the Sixth avenue side of
their building, and Selton reported
that the order had been obeyed. 1t
now transpires that the report was
false, and that the four escapes were
never put in place. Selton has been
dismissed and his case placed in the
hands of the district attorney.

rRouBLE 1N oKLAHoMA.

GUTHRIE, Okla, Feb. 10.-The past
4S hours has witnessed scenes of wild
excitement at El Reno which outrival
anything ever seen in the territory.
That town is built upon the claim of
Major Freeman, all the residents of
the town having bought their lots of
him; so when Secretary Noble de-
cided last Saturday that Freeman's
title to his claim was void 1t left ev-
cry piece of property in town at the
mercy Of vandals, for nobody had
any valid title to the property. The
news of the decision did not reach
El Reno until yesterday, but when it
did get there the town went wild.
First the loafers began jumping lots,
then others followed suit, and soon
all business was suspended. The
court officers rushed from their offices
and joined the mob, which by night
fall had grown wild and unruly.
Gov. Seay telegraphed the sheriff and
other officers to disperse the mobs
and protect the property, but they
did nothing. Today affairs took a
more serious turn. Houses were
broken into, people were driven from
their homes, and everything possible
was done by the excited mob to drive
the orderly element out and give the
jumpers possession of all the prop
erty in town. The citizens tele-
graphed to Gov. Seay that their
property was being destroyed and
their lives endangered, and demand
ed that troops be sent to protect
them.
KANSAS CITY, Feb. lO.-A special
to the Star from Guthrie says: Dis
patches from El Reno this morning
say the excitement is abating and
most of the lot jumpers will be re-
moved this afternoon by the United
States marshals. Secretary Noble
telegraphed that review has been
granted Freeman, so he still holds
title, and if his title is finally can
celed relief measures will at once
pass congress giving titles TO all who
purchased lots In good faith.

little of it in the beverages that in
toxicate and became drunk. Our
ever watchful policemen arrested
him for being drunk and disorderly,
and he offered no excuse for him
self. He had been very careful to
select a cautious, careful and consid-
crate lawyer to defend him-that
lawyer was Mrs. Pettijohn and she
won her case, this being the first case
in New Mexico in which female
lawyer appeared in court. IL created
considerable excitement. Her plea in
behalf of the defendant was listened
to with good attention, and when
she asked that the prisoner be dis
charged from custody, it was imme-
diately acceded to on a technical
point.
