MEXICAN COLONIES.
A Phoenix Man Returns From inc
 Yaeui Country.

A. Tootha,,er. formerly station keeper and postmaster at Altamont, in the Buckeye neighborhood, has lately returned from the Yaqui coun- try in Sonora. He said that the col ony Of Cherokee Indians from the Indian Territory will occupy a region watered by the ditch in which Messrs. H. H. Logan and T. w. Hine Of this city are interested. Thers are 5000 Indians in the colony and some of them were then on their way to their way to their new home. The colony's territory is nearly as large as the Salt River valley and is one Of the most fertile regions on earth. The only settlement is a small place called Cocorit. There is no communication by rail or water, but the plans of the colonists involve the building of Q railroad from some point on the gulf above GuaymaS.
 i There are no serious troubles with the YaGui Indians in that Immediate neighborhood. Lao5 fall there was an outbreak Off account Of tine failure oI the government to deliver water tn them according to an existing agree ment The government was not to blame for the failure except in so far as it had been careless in making it's contract with the Amer; can concession aires who had agreed to furnish water i to the Indians. The contract did not specify whether the water should 1e supplied this century or the next one.
 The Indians revolted and seven of them were cunspicuously shot accord ing to the Mexican method, thus show ing the rest Of the tribe the advantage of patience and forbearance. The Mex ican government, though, is disposed to deal fairly with the YaQuis. It is now preparing to dig 6 ditch to their lands. since there is no way of forcing the Americans to do it in time to prevent another uprising, which will certainly occur this fall unless the cause for is ] is removed.

 Of the Topolobempo colony, cen- cerning which ST much was expected and which so nearly failed, Mir.

Those who remained are prosperous.

"ROUGH RIDERS" HORSES
nouRfS Of Several of inc Officers
 Brought 10 Phoenix.

Seven horses belonging to officers of the Rough Riders" were brough5 in yesterday morning direct from New York. Among them were the horses of Captain O'Neill, Captain Alexander and Lieutenant G. $. Wilcox They were in charge of the colorsd striker of Captain Alexander and had been twency-one days on the road. The horses were kept all day at Fuqua' s stables, where they were visited by a considerable part Of the population Of Phoenix. Last night they were sent cut to Joseph Morihon's place, where they will live in clover The horses Of the officers were private property, and as a general thing were not sold at the recent auction on the mastering out O. th9 Rough Riders However, ac- cording to the New York Sun, Col. Brodie's horse was sold.
 These horses are thin and gaunt, partly due to their long journey, though the striker said the climate Of I alnpa did net agree with them. They refused to eat, but their appetites re turned after they were sent to New ! ork, and were getting in good con dition when they were mustered cut. They are Texas animals Of good stock.
 The striker attached himself to the fortunes of Captain Alexander at San Antonio. He remained with him until the regiment was disbanded, and eyi- dently spent a great deal Of time in copying the mannerisms of the cap tain. He has the same impulsive and enthusiastic motions and speech. The captains horse the striker believed, was the most talented beast engaged in the war and would no doubt be val uable acquisition to equine circles in Arizona.

RCaTke and Henry Wilson swore tha they took it to the National Bank Of Arizona and showed it to MT. J. J. Sweeney, who pronounced the signa> trre genuine. MT. Flannigan asked him if he was sure of 1t, if the bank did net keep book Of signatures MT. Sweeney replied that it did, but he was so sure of the gsnuineness Of this one that 1t was not necessary to refer to the book He did so, however. and said there was no douot that the name had been written by Roarke. Then MT. Flannigan asked him if he would have paid a check so signed and pre- sented in Roarke's life time Mir. Sweeney replied that he would have done so
 MT. Sweeney was put on the stand and denied the statement of these wit nesses. Messrs. Obarfelder and Yeager of the bank were called in. but they could not remember, if they had heard the conversation testified to by Elan Inigan, Roarke and Wilson.
 The last witness for the will was William RcaTke himself After cross examination by Mir. Bennett, represent ing the Brill interests, Mr Armstrong on behalf of the Baxter interests asked the witness two questions, why his uncle had revisited Ireland, and if it was not a fact that the passenger list of the steamer on which he sailed showed the name of John Roarke in stead Of James Roarke.
 This question bore on a statement in the so-called will that James Roarke had gone to Ireland to bring the bene- ficiary to this country. The witness replied that the immediate cause of his visit was the illness of a sister iD Ireland. As to the showing of the passenger list, the witness said his uncle John, who lived at San Diego, bought a ticket there. He came to Phoenix on his way to New York. Then a change of plan took place. James Roarke decided to go to Ireland and took his brothers ticket. That was how John Roarke appeared to have crossed the Atlantic

TO TALK FOR BRODIE.
Col. ZabriSkie of Tucson Will Stump
 the Territory

Col. J. A. Zabriskie arrived at the Hotel Adams yesterday morning from Tucson, and tonight he will address the people of Phoenix at the military plaza on the issues of the campaign. A reporter fer The Republican found Col. Zabriskie at his room yesterday afternoon and obtained an interesting interview with him. He is a delight full entertainer, with an easy, comfort able manner of discussing questions.
 This trip is an experiment" said he "I have for many years been troubled with sciatic rheumatism, and i am not sure that I will be able to make a tour of the territory. The people down in Pima, CCchise and Pinal counties are very enthusiastic over the nomination of Col. Brodie ny the republicans Men coming to Tucson from different sections of those coun- ties all tell the same story, whether they are democrats, populists or re- publicans The people love hero, and they will elect Col. Brodie by Q rous- ing majority.
 q once thought that republican form of government was farce, but have since learned that the people of the United States move slowly and cover the ground by SpaSmodlc pro- gression Lord Macaulay said that our republic would not last one hundred years. His opinion was shared by many old and embittered public. men who took the extreme tension of opin- ion. There is no republic SO poor as that where the people are ignorant. President Diaz of Mexico knew that he must educate his people. He built a railroad through the heart of the re- public, he instituted magnificent public school system, and he got a powerful army of intelligent men to preserve law and keep down reVolu- zion. The so-called republic of Mexico has all along been monarchy until within short time, when the educa- tion of the people was completed.

TIE ROHRhE WILL.
The Lasf of Inc Evidence Submitted
 Yesterday.

The last of the evidence in the Roarke will case was submitted late
 yesterday afternoon. A considerable
 part of 1t was in rebuttal of testimony introduced by the contestants the day
 before. Among the witnesses in favor of the will were Col. William Christy,
 who had had business with ROarke for years, and General c. NJ. Frazier, who was his at orney for some time before his death. Both testified that they believed the signature attached to the will was genuine.
 G. A. Howe, who had been a sort Of go-betWeen for Laville, the custodian of the will, and William Roarke, the beneficiary, and afterward ocean } an important witness for the contestants, had testified the day before that he saw ROarke writing the so-called or iginal. He described with great par ticularity how it had been done. Ills said that Laville fastened the paper
 upon board by means of pins at each corner and then copiad the matter upon it from another paper or several papers pasted together. Thus an in- ference was raised that MT. Laville
 some months after Ro2rke's death had elaborated the original from a sort
 Of rough draft which the writer or
 somebody had prepared. Howe's tas~ timony was supported by the presence
 Of the pin holes.
 But the attorneys for the win
 brought in . witness yesterday who made pin holes in Howa's story He
 was Photographer HartweI, who
 swore that the pin holes which Howe claimed to have seen were made by him 1 in taking 9 photograph Of the docu- inent some time after it's discovery. i Regarding the signature. Thomas T. Flannigan, the first attorney to whom the document was brought, Williar.

He Will Be Sent to Cuba Without
 Doubt.

Washington, Get. 5.-Major GeneraI Fitzhugh Lee was at the war depart ment this morning. He is in this city in response to 3 telegraphic order from Secretary Algsr. General Lee says that he will go to New York, visit his son at West Point. and then return to Washington. If there is no pressure for his immediate return to Jackson vile he intends to spend few weeks in the Virginia mountains upon the recommendation of his physician. Gen elal Lee has been suffering slightly from malaria.
 There is no doubt that General Lee is scheduled to go to Cuba. Some ques- tiCn has arisen, however. as to the point in Cuba that he will occupy. It is understood that General Lee would prefer that his command go to Havana.
 Captain Algernon Sartoris, grandson of General U. S. Grant, who is serving as an aid-de-canlp on the staff Of Gen eral Lee, accompanied the latter to Washington, and was at the war de- partment today on official business.

THE CITIZENS WANT IT.
A General Feeling Prevails Thai inc
 Sisters Hospital Should Thrive.

The consensus of opinion among the business men of Phoenix Is unquestioD- ably in favor of maintaining the Sis ters hospital. A reporter for The Republican visited several of the lead ing business men yesterday and found that there was an almost united feel ing in favor of supporting the hospital by popular subscription rather than allow it to be discontinued. They ali agree that a city the size and import ance of Phoenix should not be without a hospital, and all who have come into contact with the Sisters management of the hospital speak in the highest terms of it.
 The subscriptions thus far re- ceived have been made with out solicitation, which is an indication of the desire of the citizens of Phoe- nix in the matter. The Republican has received the consent of the gentlemen concerned to use their names in order that the people may know that a sub stantial interest is already manifested. The Republican will publish the list from day to day as new subscriptions are received The project is a worthy one, and it is hoped that there will be a generous response on the part of the citizens.
 D. M. Riordan of Flagstaff has prom ised to be one Of a party Of ten or more to donate S100 each for the main tenance of the hospital. The follow ing named have agreed to pay annually for five years the sums set opposite their names provided the hospital is continued:
