TIascaans he gave to Pedro de Alvarado
and he appointed Jorge de Alvarado and
Gutierrez of Badajos and Andres de
Moujarez to go with him each as Captain IL
of fifty men ANA he sent me also with Pc
dro de Alvarado, and the force was Or
dered to take up position at Tacuba.
The second division consisted of thir ty

OF How Certain Friends of Diego valasqucz
Had Concerted Plan to Assassinate Cortes
and What Came of 1t

Now it appears that certain persons OF

sake of their honor. will not name. under
tn leadership of one Antonio Villafana a
native oi Zamora, of roro. who was great
friend of Diego Nelasquez. the Governor
of Cuba. had concerted plan to kill
Cortes in the following manner: At this
time there had arrived Il ship from CASTLE,
and the plan was to bring him letter
purporting to come from his father, while
he was at table eating. saying that the
letter had just arrived from Sp in. and
while he was engaged in opening it, to
stab him and to kill also all who attem pied
to defend him. Now the plan being all
arranged as | have related it pleased God
that it was impaired to two persons who
had been with us on the late expedition,

named for one of the leaders after the
deIth of Cortes. for the conspirators had
already selected Captains and Alguazils
and all other necessary officers. and had
even already divided up Hamong them

Mexicans sent up great smoke from all
the towns around the lake, near the City

Mexicans sent up great smoke from all
the towns around the lake, near the City
of Mexico.
There now came against Cortes. who still
remained i'll Tezcuco, over 1000 canoes.
and when he saw them coming he or
dered his fleet TO m owe out into the open
lake where he could manage the brigan-
tines to more advantage. and ordered his
Captains not to close with the enemy until
the wind freshened. The Mexicans see
ing this thought it was through fear, and
instantly started in pursuit; but just
then strong wind coming up he gave the
signal for attack, and as the brigantines
came on under full sail they overturned
and broke the cano.s on all sides and
killed great numbers of the enemy. so
that those who were not killed instantly
filled the other canoes and fled where the
brigantnes,could not follow them, and in
this first combat on the lake Cortes had
the victory, for which glory be to God,
amen.
The brigautines now sailed across the
lake to Cuyoacan, to the camp of Cristo
bal de Oil: and when they approached
that place they were attacked by a great
squadron of Mexicans who lay in ambush
there. thinking that they could capture
the brigantines; but Cortes turned his
bers. but through the carelessness of one
of the gunners the supply OF powder ex-
ploded and killed several of the crew.
Cortes then sent the fastest of the brigan-
tines across the lake to Iztapalapa TO San
doval for fresh supply, and he sent San
doval letter telling him not to move from
his present position until further orders.
and after he received the powder he soon
put the enemy to fight and Joined Cristo-
bal lie Oil in Cuyoacan.
Now SandovaI, seeing that he could do
nothing to that portion OF lztapalapa
which was in the water. attacked a neign-
boring town to which there was cause
way. and when Guatemoc learned of this
attack he sent a body of warriors to the
assistance OF the place, and another to
cut the causeway behind Sandoval, but
fortunately from the camp OF Cristobal de
Oil Cortes saw the great fleet of canoes
crossing toward Iztapalapa, and there
being a causeway crossing the Ike from
Cuyoacan to that place. he ordered Girls
tobal de Oil to march across while he pro-
tected him with his brigantines. and
when they arrived they found Sandoval in
bad plight fighting Il great body of Mex
leans in the front. while others behind
him were cutting the causeway; but the
combined forces after a sharp fight dis
persed the enemy and Cortes then or
dered Sandoval to abandon Iztapalapa and
to march to Tepeaquila, where the
Church of Our Lady OF Guadalupe now is,
and atte mpt the capture of the causeway
which led from that town to the City of
Mexico.

WYOMING NOT IN IT.
NO ATTENTION WILL BE PAID TO
HER GAME LAWS.
Rights of the Indians to Hunt on
UnOccupied Land is Unauestion-
nble and the State of Wyoming
Has No Power to Stop Them.

WASHINGTON, Aug. >26.-It has been
definitely decided by the Indian bureau
that no attention will be paid to the
game laws of Wyoming where they come
in conflict with the treaty of the United
States with the Bannock and Shoshone
Indians. The attorney general, after
considering the matter, has informed the
secretary of the interior and the COM
missioner of Indian affairs that the rights
of the Indians to hunt on unoccu-
pied lands. in his opinion is unquestion-
able and the state OF Wyoming has no
power to limit or abridge this right No
definite steps to enforce this determine
ton have been decided upon further than
that instructions to United States dis
trict attorneys to secure the release of
the Indians now in custody on writs of
habeas corpus probably will be supple
mented by an order to do the same thing
in case any arrest is made in the future.
The bureau will discourage hunting by
Indians as far as possible and at least
no passes will be issued permitting the
probable small numbers of soldiers will
be kept in Jackson's Hole country dur
ing the remainder of the hunting season
and if it be deemed advisable any time to
permit Indians to leave the reservation
TO hunt, the whites possibly will not be
permitted to modest them. 1t is hoped,
however. the work on the irrigation ditch
occupat ton and money for the Indians,
making hunting unnecessary for MAIN
tenance during the winter
No immediate trouble is anticipated, as
the Indians are now on their reservations
and likely to remain for the present.

Notwithstanding peace vas pro-
claimed in insurance circles day or
two ago, all amenities have been de-
clared off and dire confusion is again
at the bat. 1t is questionable as to
whether matters are not more confused
now than ever.
There was a meeting held yesterday,
at which stormy debate held the
floor to the utter rout and discontinue
of calm dignity. 1t was a not session
and no mistake.
1t was precipitated by an agent of
one of the foreign companies making a
kick against the Home, and then
charges and counter charges were
made
1t was a jolly old row from start to
finish. Nearly every agent present
was full of accusations against the
others. Scarcely man was there who
was not accused of having promised to
do work at the old rates despite the
agreement made. One agent declared
he had sent man around and had
obtained Information to the effect that
ten leading business men of the city
had been promised insurance at the old
rates, in violation of the agreement
made, and the assertion was made
that Auer!bach was among the number
to be benefited.
If all statements were true, the COM
panies having agents here will not be
caught up with their business for
months.

CONTRACT LET.
Mt. Nebo irrigation FIumc Will Be

The Mount Nebo irrigation people
closed one of the largest contracts of
the season yesterday morning when
they let the work of constructing the
large fiume from the source of the
water supply to the lands below to

price per foot, but from what is learned
at the offices of the company the to-

leak, and said to be very lasting.
In addition to this there are 1900
feet of semi-circular Tuning. which
riety, of which Colonel William Hamm
Hall is the inventor. Colonel Hall is
the consulting engineer of the COM
pany. His device is SO arranged as TO
meet the requirements of all climates
and conditions of water. When the
water is low and weather dry, q sys-
tenn of nuts and bolts so arranged that
the shrinking can be compensated by
a tightening of the former, keeps the
flume from leaking as might be the re-
suit of the drying out process referred
to. When the water is again turned
in after dry spell the nuts are tight
ened and the fiume prevented from any
leakage.
Mr.. Guy Sterling of North Yakima,
Washington, is here now and Colonel
Hall will arrive next week. Mr.. Ster-
ling is the superintendent of construc-

The amount of lumber which will be
used in the completion of this work is
considerable. Messrs. Newton & Hobbs
of Mona, who have the contract for the
superstructure, say it will require AGO.
600 feet to do what they have in hand.
1t is estimated that to complete the
fumes, open and closed, will take from
200, 900 to 900 more. So it will be
seen that from $4,000 to 1000 feet
will be used.
Inasmuch as the contract calls for
the completion of the work by Octo-
Der 81, there is no time to be lost. Cen
eral Manager Henry of the pipe COM
pany left for home as soon as the pa
perS were signed and will at once be-
gin work.
Messrs. Roylance and Reynolds, the
contractors VINO nave lne rock SXcd-
walton on hand, have full force of
men at work. They are in camp near
Goshen. Reinforcements will be sent
out today in the shape of about forty
men and more supplies.
This enterprise means much to the
people in that vicinity. The tract of
land to be irrigated is located between
the Rio Grande Western and the Unicn
Pacific railways. and contains % 1000
acres. 1t is expected that the work
will be completed in time to sow fall
wheat and set out lot of fruit trees,
while next year the company will have
the entire territory under water.
