A NEW USE FOR CORN.

Henceforth, smokless powder
will be exclusively used in
warfare, not only for the rapid
firing artillery, but also for the
new rifles which the Infantry
will use in the field. In the
manufacture of this powder
distilled spirits play a prominent
part, thus opening up a new
and quite extensive market
for American corn. The fact
is one that can not fail to
interest the favor, as all
civilized nations now use this
powder, but this country alone
grows the corn. In the light
of these facts the prepartion of
Great Britain, and the constant
rumors of great Eu. opean war,
take on a local and personal
interest for every Western corn
grower. An extensive war
among the great European
nations would have a marked
effect upon the market for spirits
and corn, and as the whole
world is TO large extent
dependent upon America tor
his ingredient of smokeless
powder, and as this powder is a
necessity in warfare, it must be
had at any price.

special to the Globe-Democrat

Any doubt that Yaquis are on
the warpath in earnest was dis.
PEELED to-day when news reached
here that several Americans and
Mexicans had been killed in
Puebios, or town in the Yaqui
River Valley, east and southeast
Of this station.
The courier who came in with
the news of the slaughter de-
clares that he saw a desperate
fight at point forty miles south
east of Ortiz and that he has
positive evidence that J.F. REM
ley, a merchant of Hermosi1lo,
and E. Miller, a photographer
in his employ, were among the
killed.
Remley was one of the best
known Americans in Sonora.
The inhabitants of the towns
in and near the Yaqui Valley
are in state of terror.
General Torres, a commander
of the first ilitary zone, "hich
includes Sonora, Sinaloa, and
Lower California, who was in
the field with the Twelfth Regi-
ment, is reported among the
slain.
No information is obtainable
as vet of the number of 6n.tin~
indians under arms, but If the
outbreak is of the proportions of
the war ended in 1897, the num-
Der may be placed at between
1000 and 1000.
This outbreak is a surprise to
the State and army officials.
1t is impossible to secure &C.
curate figures as to the total
number killed to date, but the
estimate at fifty on each side is
not considered excessive.

hearing that General Malbar

insurgents. This detachment
found a force of 1000 rebels be-
hind hastily made intrench-

FIRE until the contingent of the
Twenty-frst regiment was with

volley. The Americans dropped
in the high grass out of sight
and returned the FIRE. Lieuten-
ant Love, who was walking

was shot in the arm. An insur>
gent officer, equally brave, stood
at the top of the trenches. dis

until he was killed, when the
Filipinos fed.
During the fighting on the
north side of the town, a small
body of insurgents attempted to
enter on the southside, but a
troop of cavalry repulsed them.
The total American loss at
Calamba was seven killed and
twenty wounded. Sixteen dead
insurgents have been found.

Sunday afternoon by threaten

been celebrating during the day
and about 3 o'clock in the after
noon he walked out on the
bridge and climbed up through
the network of structural iron to
the top of the arched span and
lay down On the very top of the
arch to sleep off his drunk.
The man attracted a large
crowd by his peculiar actions.
Women were excited lest he
would lose his balance and dash
out his lite by falling to the as
phalt floor of the bridge. Men
yelled at him to come down and
boys were amused at his per
formance. The matter was re
ported to Officer J. w. Canning,
who went to the bridge and tried
to induce Burns to descend from
his exalted position. The po-
liceman was no more successful
than were the others who had
made the same attempt. The
man lay stretched at full length
along the top of the arch, ap~
parently sound asleep and OBJ
