REBELLIOUS YUCATANS.
MEXICO WILL MAKE ANOTHER
CAMPAIGN AGAINST THEM.
The Aim is to Permanently Subju-
gate the Troublesome Rebels
who Have Long Been IL Terror TO
All in Their Vicinity.

CITY of Mexico, June 27.-The wal
department is engaged in active pre-
paration for another vigorous cam
paign against the rebelEous 1ucatan
Indians. Large bodies of infantry and
cavalry have been concentrated at the
towns of Becanchen and Bacalar, n
southern Yucatan, and others are be-
ing put in readiness for marching
from Merida, the capital. The people
of the state of Yucatan are enthusiasts
tic over the movement TO permanently
subiugate the troublesome rebels
which have long caused the south
eastern peninsula of Mexico to be
Stunned by commerce and other en-
terprises, afraid TO risk robbery and
death in a region exceedingly rich IN
mahogany, dye woods and other
natural products.
The Twenty-second battalion and
other bodies Of troops have been de-
tailed to mako the campaign. The
troops by land will receive co-opera-
ton from the front by sea. Landing
will probably be made from Mexican
boats at Ascension and Espiritu SantO
two good bays on the Atlantic. off the
sea of the Antilles. From these land
ing places the troops can easily reach
the heart OF the rebellious district, and
the attack VIII De nlaue IIOHn opposite
directions.
This is deemed a peculiarly pro-
pitious time for making the move, as
there are sevraI rival cliques in the
various divisions of the Yucatan
tribes, each striving for the ascend
ance. On the appearance of su-
perior power it is probable some of
the leaders will desert to the Mexican
troops and fight against the thou
sands which will attempt to with
stand the federal power.
AS the troops advance the country
conquered will be occupied and forti-
fed. and in this way, even should the
Indians escape across into BaliZe. they
will be prevented from returning.
The Indians have of late been max
ing large purchases of rifles and am
munition in the city of BaliZe, and are
evidently preparing TO make strong
defense, as they have successfully In
other campaigns against them.

mostly from this city, left last night
on a journey of 1900 miles to Central
Africa Their mission, they say, is
partly to convert the natives to Christ
ianity and partly to collect diamonds
for themselves. The leader and back
bone of the enterprise is the Rev.

the originator of the trip is COmmo-

son of the king of Bongee, in the Con-

but his native tongue, but now, after
a course of studies, he is able to speak
English and German fiuently. When
he came here he had a pocketfui of
diamonds, and he says there are more

to be well supplied with money. They
also carried with them a case of rifles
a large box of siX-shooters and thous-
andS of rounds of ammunition. They

dering the jury to return d verdict of
acquittaI
Miss Berger was under an indict-
ment on seven counts for mailing
slanderous epistles concerning herself
to the wife of her alleged paramour,
Dr.. Mckinney, in order 10 try TO sep

The young woman's infamation for
the doctor makes it one of the most
remarkable cases the postal authori-
ties have ever unearthed. Miss Berger
was believed to be guilty of writing

was insufficient to. secure a conviction.
The ordering of an acquittal caused
genuine surprise.
