Vengeance of Mexican Indians.

A Chihuahua, MEX } dispatch says:
A small band of Temoschic Indians
made night attack on company of
government troops stationed at the
village of Temoschlc, northwest of
here and killed six soldiers. The at
tack was made at night, and before the
soldiers could make any resistance the
Indians had f1eu into the mountains.
This band Is the only surviving rem

women and children of the tribe at
Temoschic, the members OF the band
who made the late attack being the
only ones who escaped. This oand has
committed many murders of Mexicans

Returning Vessels Cut Rates
and Are Crowded With
Passengers
THE KLONDIKE A BURST
BUBBLE.
Ninety Per Cent of the Argonauts
Give Up the Attempt to
Reach DaWSon.,

JUNEAU, ALASKA, Sept. 7-(By steam
ship George E. Starr to Seattle, Sept. 12).-
The much-vaunted Skaguay is busted
community. Her glory the gate to the
Klondike has tumbled to earth even as
the columns of Carthage and Rome have
fallen. Even hope has left the city Of
tents, and despair, which has hovered
with wild eyes over the scene for weeks,
has taken possession.
An exodus from Skaguay has begun.
The Klondikers are flocking IN all direc-
tions. The steamship George E. Starr,
now lying here for half hour taking In
water, is crowded with returning Klon-
dikers. Before she left Skaeuay notices
reading, Excursion rate of $50 to Seattle
by this ship" were posted on her sides
and on Broadway and other conspicuous
thorouchfares. This is just half the regu-
lar rate from the head of Lynn Canal to
Puget Sound This was the kind of a
chance that the disappointed klondikers
had been waiting for, and they hocked
toward homeward. The Starr got most
of the passengers booked for the steam
ship Willamette at $50 head. The Will
Iamette met the STAIRS cut and will leave
skaguay to-day, returning by way OF Sitka.
Steamships which have been busy all
season and loaded to the gunwales with
KIondkers are now busy carrying them
back again. The Starr came in here with
the passengers shouting from the decks
with evident satisfaction: THE bottom
has fallen out of Skaguay. She is a busted
town." Others are f1ocking to Dyea and
will make a plunge to get over the Chill
coot Pass.
They have realized the availability of
the Dyea trail too late. They cannot pos
sibly get their outfits over and build boats
at the lakes before the season closes. Only
the men who have money are swarming
from Skaguay to Dyea. Hundreds are
stranded at Skaguay without a dollar, un-
able 10 leave the place and unable to get to
the Klondike. Manv of the men have
mortgased their all or spent all the money
they could raise to find the land OF gold,
still as far away as when they left home.
Many strong man, finding himself in
that position, has been moved to tears.
Some have gone back from the trail and
went in silence and alone; others did not
attempt to hide their bitter disappoint-
ment, but wept on the highway.
All the small steamers running from the
head of Lynn canal to Juneau are crowded
with men looki ng for board and lodging

An Immense Crowd Viewed the
Impressive and Beautiful
Ceremonies.
SERMON BY FATHER P. R. LYNCH.
The Preacher Says Good Citizens of
All Religions Should Be Proud
of the Edifce.

1t was an immense crowd which wit
messed the laying of the cornerstone of
Sacred Heart Church yesterday afternoon.
Conservative estimates ranged from 10 900
TO 1900. The entire foundation of the
edtce III course of erection had been
foored over and chairs were crowded
everywhere. Fillmore and Fell streets, at
the in ersecticn of which is located the
church property, were crowded far outside
the range OF possible hearing and the
elevation on Fillmore street, Immediately
opposite the editice, was scarce large
enough to accom- modate the memb bers of
the marching societies which were sta
TONED there.
The ceremonies were announced to COM
mence at clock. and it was only little
after that hour when the multitude upon
the elevated site where the church is to
be saw the head of one of the most i'm
pre- sive professions ever Witnessed here
swing into Fell street from Van Ness
avenue and, with the League of the Cross
Cadets marching company front, com
proudly on toward the scene of the festiv-
tiles.
From the church site the view was
beautiful one. The phalanx of superbly
drilled young men. handsomely uniformed
and with glittering swords and accouter-
ments, could be viewed from the elevation
Tor nearly mile. Remind them came the
purely civic societies, the mem bers march
ing iour abreast and the Der aspect of
citizen dress relieved by gay badges and
beautiful banners.
The Knights of the Red Branch Rifles
gave another military touch to the great
caYalcade, and the whole was an inspiring
sight, which filled the loyal mem bers of
the church with pride and all with ad-
miration and wonder.
Colonel w. P. Sullivan Jr. of the League
of the Cross Cadets had succeeded in
turning out the full company force of the
regiment for the occasion, incl uding two
com panies from oakland, and the young
men never showed to better advantage.
The other societies parading were: The
Ignatian Council No. So Y. NJ. l. the
Cathedral Council No. SO, Y. Nj. l.. coun-
ellis No. 81 and 129, Y. Nj. l.. St. Roses

for the winter. The first corners will be
successful, but the others cannot find ac-
com m Cd tionS here. An outfit of TWO
tons OF supplies on the summit of White
Pass, which cost with the packing added
$3.50, was sold for $3.50. Representatives
OF Juneau merchants, OF sal on canneries
and OF stamp mills working quartz in
Southeastern Alaska are buying up this
stuff at from D TO 10 cents on the dollar.
Thousands of men on the trail are try ing
to sell their outfits for any price they can
get in order to raise money 10 return home
for tae winter.
There is hardly a man on the trail th at
does not reaiz4 now that he was badly
fooled in coming to Skaguay. He doe
not know just how it was done, but that it
was done is now forclbly apparent to him.
The fair-minded ones blame themselves
for no, using a sufficient amount of obser-
vation and discri m mating between Dyea
and Skaguay when they first arrived week
ago. Ii they had gone to Dyea probably
half of them could nave by this time been
at the lakes or floating down the river to
Dawson. Hundreds among those leaving
are looking for some body 10 blame. Their
pride will not permit them TO acknowl-
edge that they are responsible for their
situation.
Bankers and merchan ants with plenty of
money are returning on the stea ms hips
Starr and Willamette. They could not
get over the pass and frankly admit it,.
Their horses died on the trail and much
OF their provisions was ruined by rain.
II. K. Struve of Seattle lost his entire
pack train of seven horses and was COM
| PEELED to leave an expensive outfit and re-
turn empty handed. He says hat beyond
Porcupine Creek forty Live dead horses
are lying in one spot in the canyon.
| The reason, in brief, for the death of so
many horses is the i'm possibility OF pack
ing sufficient feed in over the trail for the
hor>es along with The outfits, and the
horses drop from exhaustion. Hundreds
also are lying lead along the trail, having
beer shot 10 save them from starvation.
The Klondike is broken bubble to 80
per cent of the thousands of men who
have crowded in here since the middle of
July.
The roof is on, but work has suddenly
stopped on the new three-story hotel at
Skaguay. the erection of which was begun
about week ago.
Some OF the gam bling apparatus is
following the crowd to Dvea.
Nearly every man who returns home
has lost from $500 TO $1,000 in his futile
attempt to get to the Klondike.

It is mothers duty to crown her child
with that greatest blessing any human being
can possess good health This she can
only do by taking proper care of herself
prior to the child's birth, and especially
during the period of CESSATION. TOO few
women realize the importance of their own
health Too few understand that the health
OF their children is dependent upon the
vigor and health of the organs of reproduc-
ton. A woman who is to become a mother
owes 1t to her offspring to take thought of
the most important and delicate organs of
her body.
Every woman may be strong and healthy

III the funeral procession.
ii General Goblin executes the in Intention
he expressed tonight this whole pro-
gramme will be upset, and ii is feared
that men will resent any interference
with the disposition of their dead.
DR.. II. P. Lewandoski of New York, rep
resenting the Polish societies of that city,
arrived here to-day. He is empowered to
assist tie strikers in every possible way;
to help them TO gain their demands from
the operators, and to arrange for the
prosecution OF the Sheriff and deputies.
Later in the day he said be had received
word that a check for $1,000 from the
National Polish Alliance, which recently
met in Philadelphia, had been sent on for
the aid of the miners, and that he had
promises of large additional subscri ptions
from New York and other cites. There
are many Poles in the United States. A
number OF Polish priests from New York,
Buffalo and other places are also expected
to arrive tomorrow.
DR.. Thorodovitch, secretary at the Aus
trian consulate at Philadelphia, partci-
pated in a meeting tonight to consider
methods of prosecuting the deputies. He
obtained affidav1ts from a number of the
miners who were in Fridays affair, which
throws new light on the shooting. They
declare, in substance that on the morning
of that day a messenger arrived at Har-
wood and asked the foreigners to come TO
Latimer, as the employees of colliery No.
at that place were about to strike. Later
a second message to the same effect ar
rived, and then the men started over to
Latimer.
At Hazel colliery, so the affidavits con-
tinue, Sheriff Martin met them and warned
them not to go through Hazelton, but to
