Yaqui Indian Outbreak.

Ell PASO (Tex), Aug. S.-Reports
from all sources in Southwestern So
nora, up to to-day indicate that the
war with the Yaqui Indians is con-
fined to the immediate neighborhood
where the trouble started, south and
west of TORN, a month ago. The In
dams engaged in the trouble are but
few, and do not number more than 200.
Among the renegades are those who
attacked the customs house at No

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. s. = The
first primary election under the new
law which places primaries under the
same strict regulations that goven gen.
eral elections was held in this city to-
day. Much interest was manifested.
the total vote cast being 32,319, greater
by far than was ever before polled on
a similar occasion.
There were three Democratic and
two Republican tickets in the field.
The count is proceeding slowly, but the
indications are that the bosses of both
parties have been beaten by decisive
majorities.
What was known as the regular Re-
publican ticket, put forward in the in
terest of no particular candidate, but
alleged by it's opponents to have been
nominated in accordance with the
wishes of Kelly and Crimmins, bosses
of local repute, was defeated in nearly
every district. in some instances the
vote being to l against it, and in
favor of the nominees of the Central
Republican Committee, of which Henry
T. Scott is Chairman.
The Democratic voters were con-
fronted with two distinct issueS-the
denomination of Mayor Phelan and the
attempt of Buckley, 1.-The Blind Boss,
to regain. control of the party ma
chinery. The regular ticket, named by
a committee of 100 citizens favorable
to the continuance in office of Mayor
Phelan, appears to have been success
full in all parts of the city, the Buck
ley ticket having been defeated even
in the districts where the ex-boss was
supposed to have retained some of his
former Influence. The Rainey men.
who were nominated in some districts
avowedly with the object of beating
Buckley, do not appear to have shown
much strength anywhere.
The result of the election as thus
indicated is taken to mean the NOM
nation of James D.. Phelan to be the
first Mayor under the citys new char
ter which largely increases the power
of that official, and the naming by the
Republican convention of some man
not controlled by the bosses who have
heretofore been influential in that
party
Nearly complete returns show that
the bosses of both parties have suf-
fered crushing defeat. The candi-
dates of the Central Republican
League, who are opposed to the Kelly
and Crimmins faction, have been
elected in every district, with perhaps
one exception, by good majorities. The
Phelan Democratic ticket put in the
field by the Committee of 100 has made
a clean sweep. Buckley and Rainey be-
ing showed under Buckley is not be-
lieved to have elected single one OF
his candidates

SCARCITY OF CANS
Threatens to Cause a Loss to a Por-
ton Of the Fruit Crop.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. S.-A scare
ity of cans threatens to cause the loss
of a portion of the fruit crop of the
State, which this season is excep-
tionally heavy.
Although the can manufacturers have
worked under full pressure, now, in the
midst of the season, they find them
slves so short of tin plate that they
have to refuse to sell to Gamers who
have not specific contracts, and even
those with ironclad agreements have
to be continually on the watch to see
that they get the cans due them.
Though the managers of the canning
companies deny it, it is said that as
result Of the present situation the Fruit
Gamers Combine tends to absorb the
three an-making companies in the
State. The outside Gamers, however,
are now planning to contribute the
100000 necessary to start a max
ing plant sufficiently large to supply all
their needs.

SALT LAKE, Aug. S.-First Sergeant

A Pen Picture Of Mataafa.

We found Mataafa sitting on a mat
in the Kings house. On a wall, where
a small portion of the house was
boarded in, hung a photograph of a
group of German naval officers, and
above it a gaudily ornamented picture
of the virgin on background of blue,
peppered with gold stars-for Mataafa
is a strict Roman Catholic From one
of the central pillars of the house hung
a modern rifle. On the floor beside
the chief was a cheap mahogany
framed mirror a lamp without CHM
ney, and a tin-enamelled mug and
water-carafe. The surroundings could
be taken in at glance: but the man
himself arrested the attention. There
was calm dignity Of manner about
him as he sat there cross-legged on
his mat, a large lava-lava of tapa COW
ering his spacious loins and waist. His
short-cropped gray hair and mustache
showed signs of advancing age, and
perchance of his five years Danish
a man of strong personality as he sat
there, with inscrutable face, and fine
head poised above a brave chest and
big breasts, every now and then swish
ing the flies away with his ebon- hand
led fue of horse tail: but all the time
there was that shifty look of the eye,
and we know now that, for all his
grand air, he is very babe in politics,

priests and Prime Ministers in this
puppet principality.-Ma Ross, in
