MORE TROUBLE MAY ENsUE.
The above dispatches give only par
tial idea of the condition of things at
Yuma among the Indiane.
From an officer in the fedora! build
ing Yesterday it was learned that a
serious outbreak is not Impossible at
Yuma which may include the whites
there in the resultant melee.
The Miguel alluded TO in the dis
patches was formerly chief of the Yu-
mas but was eupplsnted by Pasqual.
Miguel belongs to the conservative ele-
ment of the Indians. which does not
believe in schools, progress and clvillza-
ton. He was deeply angered at his de-
feat when running for reelection as
chief about year ago, and has since
been g mischief maker aud short time
ago ia said TO have taken horrlbls
revenge.
He insisted on al! his followers, it is
saia, removing their daughters from the
reservation school and turning them
over to his care. It is charged that he
then collected all the diHsolute white
mon about the country and deliberately
auctioned of to them the young sQraws
ranging from IL to 20 years OF age for
from rs to $40 each, their pnrchaserB to
do with them what tney pleased.
This, it is supposed, was to express
HIS contempt ipr tae schools AMI the
etf,rts OF the white teachers to improve
the youth cf the tribe. For some reaHon
not vet ex pi aimed, tnis act waa allowed
to 90 rnpunished, and it appears to have
given VI i luel confidence in mia ability 10

ing, not only among the Ynmas, but the
Moi ives as we'll. Agent Z tndlllo sue
cee,ied in intercspting O letter from
Miguel to Mojave Bill at the Needles,
asking that worthy to assist him in his
eHorts against Pasqual and the whites.

cause a general uprising of the two
tribes, or at least those members who
are foremost ia progress, and the init
nation is that Miguel had the ambition
