AIe1ioans FIghting the Yucatans.

Denver, Aug. 17.-Arthur Savage the
inventor Of the savage repeating rife
who has just arrived from Mexico, said
in an interview: Mexico is engaged in
a destructive war with the Yucatan In
dians. In fact, the preliminary skir-
mishes of the affair have already COM
menced, and as soon as the regular
army from the republic can be supplied
with arms of the latest pattern, hostili-
ties will be pushed with the utmost
vigor. The Yucatan tribe has never
been subdued by white men, and the
chances are that the conflict will pre-
cipitate a war between Mexico and
Guatemala. The boundary line between
the two countries has never been sat
isfactorily settled, and in the course Of
the impending conflict. it is prophesied
by those who have looked into the sub
ject, the two republics will be brought
into martial array against each other"
