THE YAOul INDIANS.

CHIHUAHUA, Mex, Dec. pa govern
ment military courier brought the news
last evening of another outrage in the
state of Sonora, Of which the warning
Yaqui Indians are the perpetrators. The
trouble occurred in the town of Belan, at
the foot of one Of the ranges in the Sierra
Madre mountains, near the mouth OF the
Yaqui river The town of Belan is settled
principally with Yaquis and their allies,
the Maya Indians. 1t is within what is
claimed by the Yaquis as their domain,
and all efforts by the Mexican government
to colonize the rich lands of the valley
have proved futile. BY az arrangement
with the Indians a few Spanish traders
took up their residence in Belan few
years ago and have been carrying on
profitable business.
Shortly after the terrible massacre of
the Tomachie Indians by the Mexican
troops in the western part of the state of
chihuahua (about two months ago., the
Mexican government considered that 1t
was now good time in which tc bring
the troublesome Yaquis into submission,
and to compel the heavy land owners OF
the Yaqui river to pay into the general
treasury the taxes which the government
had never been able To collect. Detach-
ments of government troops accompanied
several tax agents TO different parts OF the
Yaqui country boundary, but no success
full entrauce was made until about eleven
days ago, when force of soldiers sailed
up the Yaqui river and made landing
near Belan.
When the Indians of that town heard Of
the coming of the troops they prepared for
a desperate resistance, The NaQulS and
Mayas marched out and attacked the gov
ernment troops, who were compelled to
retreat to their boats and Leave the coun-
try. The Indians of the town then went
on the warpath in earnest, and imme.
diateIy drove the Spanish traders and
their families out, burning their resi-
dences and other property. IL is generally
conceded in military circles here that the
government will be unable to force the
Yauui Indians into subsection. 1t
Will take 100000 Mexican troops to bring
the -, eco Yaquis under control.

THE DuRl EXPLOSION,

DUBLIN. Dec. 2Z-The government is
apparently acting upon the theory that
the recent explosion was the result of a
conspiracy, and the police are making
active inquiries as to the recent course of
the physical force faction. to whose opera
tionS but little aiteution has lately been
paid. So far as James Stephens, head
centex of the Fenian brotherhood, is con-
cerneu, no suspicion rests on him; but 1t IS
intimated that some of the younger advo-
Gates OF physical force have been very
busy of late. The anti-ParDellites are
throwing suspicion on the Parnellites, but
the latter assert that no more reason
exists for suspecting them than for charg
ing the crime to their antagonists. NJ"
Stephens has denounced the authors of
the explosion as the enemies of Ireland
A man named Kevans has been arrested
TOR connection with the explosion, but
nothing eliminating has been found
against him yet.
kevans is % years of age. He admits
that he was in Dublin on Sunday. The
arrest has caused great excitement. The
police had been informed of suspicious
looking character at Nenagh and followed
Kevans from place to place, hnalIy
capturing him there. KeVans saw that he
was watched and tried to escape.

THE DE RElNACH INQUEST.

PARIS. Dec. 27.-In the greater excite
ment attending the proceedings in the
chamber of deputies and the revelations
compromising so many prominent men III
the Panama canal scandal, sight has been
lost to certain extent of the autopsy on
the body of Baron de Reinach, whose mys-
terious death has been attributed to various
causes-apoplexy, suicide and murder.
The government having charge Of the ex-
animation, it is consequently slow and is
attended with great secrecy. The Figaro
today states, however, that it has informa-
tion to the effect that DR.. Brouardel, who
has charge OF the postmortem examina-
ton, has reported to the government that
apopleXy was not the cause of the baron's
death. His report, the Figaro adds, says
that Baron de Relnach was poisoned ard
that the poison was taken into his stomach
eight hours before death.
The Figaro further says that the family
OF Baron de Reinach Is aware of the con-
tents of the report and has demanded
that a judicial inquiry be held to prove
that the baron did not commit suicide. IC
has been more than. limited that Baron de
Reinach was put out of the way by those
who feared that his evidence might impli-
cate them III the scandal. IL IL is true tha5
the poison was In his stomach eight hours
before his death there would be good reason
TO believe that this terrible charge against
certain men is true; for on the night of the
baron death be, together with NJ Rouvier
and NJ Clemenceau, attempted to secure
cessation of the newspaper attacks that
We're being made upon him. 1t is not at
All probable that had Baron de Reinach
contemplated suicide he would have gone
TO the trouble TO stop attacks that in few
hours would have been nothing 10 him and
neither would he have displayed such deep
feeling as TO the result of these attacks.
lie Gaulols has an interview today with
NJ. AudrieuI, the former project of police,
who. iu the course OF the interview, assO-
ciated Baron de ReinRch's death with an
attempt made two years ago to poison DR.

OppoSFo To M,IRpHy

NEW YORK, Dec. 27-The Times will
print an interview with President-elect
Cleveland In the morning as to his
favorite candidates for United States
senator to succeed Mr. Hiscock. The
President-elect is quoted as saying:
1T ought not to be necessary for me to
repeat TO the public what | have so often
expressed TO many gentlemen in private
cOnversation-among these Messrs.
Murphy and Croker-and gentlemen who
have been prominent in the party from
every part of the state. 1t must not be
forgotten, however, that the party has a
very hard task to perform if we expect TO
keep the word we have passed 60 the peO-
pie of the country. a great deal depends
upou the state of New York and its great
metropolis The interests of the state and
of the party demand, 1t seems to me,
the selection of a senator who can not only
defend the principles of our party, but
who can originate and promote policies
that may be presented for consideration
IN the senate In order to insure this the
senator from New York should be man
not only experienced in public affairs. but
who has clear conception of the vital
issues which we must deal with during
the next few years.
Speaking Sraukly, as | have already
done 20 those entitled to know ly views,
it does not seem 10 me that the selection
of Mr. Murphy shows desire or intention
OF placing In the senate Il man or such
type. This first use of our power would, |
fear, cause much disappointment, not
only i'll New York, but in the country.
ThIs the party ought not to be called upon
TO face, when it is considered how much
there is to do, and what serious difficulties
have TO be surmounted before 1t can be
done -

ing that sum outright, but submitted a
proposition for vast sum 10 be given pro-
viding certain plans which he suggested
be carried out This proposition was sub
mtted to the trustees today.

said one OF the trustees this afternoon,
