TEN DEATHS FROM SUNSTR0KE
Soldiers Succumb During March of Por-
ton of Eleventh Regiment from
Batamotal to Torin-Twenty
Dead Savages Found.

Pot m, August 81. via Nogales, Ariz..
August 22.-On Thursday General Torres
gave the order to advance on Vicam.
Three sharp engagements were fought be-
fore the troops succeeded in entering the
stronghold. The Indians met the govern
ment forces first about a half mile from
Vicam and fell back. They rallied again
on the outskirts of Pumsto and were
driven in The soldiers were advancing in
the form of a half moon and when they
reached Vicam 1t took desperate struggle
before the Indians were driven from their
position. In three engagements two Mexi-
cans were killed and twenty-five wounded.
among the latter being two captains, both
of the Eleventh regiment. Forty Yaquis
were killed and the number of wounded is
known to have been heavy. The Yaquis
retreated to the jungle to the southwest
ward, and were followed by General Tor
res, who overlook them at point about
two miles below Potam.
700 Indians Engaged
The Indians numbered about 100, while
the generals command was about 1000
strong The battle was fought on August
Is. and the Mexicans had two men killed
and nineteen wounded. Twenty dead
Yaquis were found in the holes from which
they fought.
Lorelo Villa, one of the chiefs who led
the Yauuis in their ten years war against
the government and who know every incn
of the river jungle, is now fighting with
the Mexican army. He led the troops
through heath and they were enabled to
make a rear attack, badly worsting the
Indians in the fight. When the general en-
tered the church at Vicam shortly after
taking possession he found evidences indi-
eating that Father Belteran and the Jo-
sephine sisters who were prisoners of the
Indians, had left there but couple of
hours before. They are believed to be
safe.
The excessive heat is something awful
along the river country. During the march
of 300 men of the Eleventh regiment from
Batamotal station to TORN there were ten
deaths from sunstroke and twenty pros
trations and two more deaths among them
when they reached TORN on August II.

Continued From First Page.

ton but Esterhazy even then was dis
appointed man. He was always complain
ing of deception. grumbling at fate and liv-
ing in great style without means to uphold
it. He squandered successive legaeies.
Esterhazy's Great Versatility
The witness, continuing, said he intro
duced Esterhazy to NJ Jules Roche
porter of the budget of the minister of war,
who wanted an educated, intelligent Off
Ger, capable of explaining military techni-
calities. No one according to M Grenier,
was better qualified for this than Ester
hazy, who spoke every European language
and was thoroughly posted on military
science and the general military history
of Europe.
At Esterhazy's request the witness made
numerous attempts to get in the ministry
/ of war, which Esterhazy declared was nee
essary in order to enable him to pass Tor
the lieutenant colonel.
NJ. Grenier continued that at the time
Esterhazy attributed the resistance which
he encountered to various people, including
I the late Lieutenant Colonel Henry, but
/ when the witness treasured Estechazy on
this point he exclaimed: at is the best
thing 1 should expect for Henry to be
nasty"
Colonel Jouaust-Did Ester4lazy tell you
he believed in the innocence of Dreyfus?
The witness could not reply definitely 20
the question. He said his recollections were
not sufficiently exact. He fancied Ester
hazy had said so, but he could never swear
to it.
The Spy Laioux
Lieutenant Colonel Roilin, of the inteHi-
gence department, was the next witness.
He described the spy, Lajoux, employed in
the department as "a bad spy. whom 1
found necessary to suppress"
NJ. Labori asked the witness when he
knew Lajoux had offered to make revela-
lions in the Dreyfus affair, and the witness
replied that Lajoux wrote to the minister
of war asking for assistance and referring
to the Dreyfus case.
The clerk of the court read a letter.
After dwelling upon his services, Lajoux
said it was in consequence of Henry's ex-
actions that the spy Cuers had become an
enemy instead of an ally. He also des-
cribcd conversation with Cuers in which
Cuers declared Dreyfus had never been
heard of at army headquarters in Berlin,
and on the news of the arrest of Dreyfus
General Count Wafdorse summoned all the
German military attaches in Europe to
Berlin and then unanimously declared
that not one of them had had relations
with Dreyfus.- Cuers added that he HIM
self had never heard of Dreyfus.
Lajoux then. complained of his abandon
ment by the headquarters staff and of
the measures taken against him by the
officers of the ministry of war. He spoke
of the promises of Colonies. Sandherr and
Henry. who gave him credit for most of
the success of their work in the inteHi-
gence department
After the reading Of this letter, Mr..
Labor inquired: "Can Lieutenant Colonel

smoking his cigarette. But when his

away in wrath and forbid him to en-
ter, and sternly said that the stuff
they did burn there smelt bad enough
and he would not let it get any worse.
