INGTON HOTEL, WASHINGTON,
Aug. 5.-Oficial advices received at
the State Department from Minis

ber Of arrests being made by the
Haytian officials, and the very few
erish condition of affairs. Although
the dispatch does not so state, the
authorities assume from the tone
Of Mr.. PowelPs advices that there is
an extensive plot on foot to overthrow
the Government, and that the men ar
rested are suspected of being revolu-
tionists.
1t is also understood that threats
have been made against the American
legation at Port au Prince on account
of a refugee who sought an asylum
with Minister Powell.
The situation is such that an Ameri-

in the American legation and was forci-
bly, taken therefrom by Haytian off
GERS, Mr.. Powell cabled the department
to-day that his demand for the release
of the prisoner had been complied with
and that he was again enjoying an
asylum at the legation. This action
was taken by Mr.. Powell upon instruc-
tions from Washington. Although the
State Department, as a rule. discour-
ages the granting of an asylum to po-
litical refugees, the department objects
to Illegal methods pursued by the Hay
tian Government in removing Du
Vivier from the legation, and will not
surrender him if he is to be made a
victim of arbitrary and illegal methods.

THE Indians burned all the buildings
on those two ranches and drove off
over 1000 head of cattle. 1t is going to
take the Mexican Government a long
time and big force of troops to quell
this rebellion. The Yaquis are better
prepared now than ever before for
long and bloody campaign. They are
we'll fixed financially, nearly all of them
having saved 5000 per head which the
Mexican Government paid them when
they signed the treaty two years ago.
They have been making money since
then, too, and [ know it to be a fact
that they have been laying in big sup
plies of arms and ammunition for some
time past. 1t has been common talk
among the American prospectors in the
Yaqui Valley that the Indians were
preparing for another outbreak, but as
the braves had always shown a friendly
spirit toward us Americans, we thought
they would not molest US when they did
go on the warpath. They are deter
mined to recover all of their lost cOun-
try, however and will kill all within
the limits of their old possessions. [

It is reported from Potam, State of
Sonora, Mexico, that General Lorenzo
Torres at the head of his troops fought
a pitched battle with the rebels at
Vicam, defeating them and inficting
heavy losses and recovering possession
of the town.
The Federal troops reached Vicum
under forced marches during a heavy
rain storm, which ceased about sun
down. Taking advantage of the favor

Torres ordered q general advance upon

chiefs and fighting with desperate cour-

the Government forces, the ensuing
darkness preventing pursuit
On the following morning the prison
ers taken during the battle of the pre-
vious evening were summarily shot by
order of General Torres, the general
adhering to his avowal made at the
conclusion of the last war with the
YaQuis that If they ever dared to rebel
against the Federal Government the
entire race would be eXterminated
A Gordon of troops has been estab-

of Cuba, reaching from Potam to Torin,
to prevent the rebels from retreating to

Colonel Angel Garcia Peria has been

ONOLULU, H. l., July 29.-Ihe
United States steamer Badger,
bearing two of the three samo-
L l. an Commissioners, arrived at
this port Wednesday afternoon,
July 26, eight days from Apla, on her
way to San Francisco. On board were
Hon. Bartlett Tripp, United States
Commissioner, and Baron Won stern

c. n. E. Eliot, Commissioner for Great
Britain, sailed by way of New Zealand
and Australia for London to report dl-
rectly to his Government
The Commissioners are we'll Satlsned
with their work at Samoa and are In
hopes that the amendments they have
proposed to the Berlin treaty will Sc
cure to Samoa both good government
and perpetual peace.
On the evening of July IA there as

of the Samoan Government, Alb chlefs
and high chiefs Cf Samoa (25O OF the
Mataafa faction and 163 of the Maize

proposed amendments to the original
Berlin treaty were laid before them by
the Joint High Commission and by
them unanimously adopted, and thlr-
teen high chiefs from each party were
selected to ratify sd adopt such
amendments by affiXil4g their names TO
the official document.
1t was a remarkable spectacle. Seat
ed on the green sward under the Wav-
ing cocoa palms of Mulinuu, several
hundred savages lovingly embraced
a month ago
were eager for each others head.
The Commissioners were under escort
of a guard of honor from each OF the
warshipS of the three powers In the
harbor; neither Mataafa nor MaHetoa
were present, the former being Ill with
a fever and the latter did not care 10

but both were well represented by their
high chiefs. Never since the days OF
Queen Salamasene, the first queen or
the Samoan Islands, has there been
assembled such a vast display of ma
tive nobility.
If the Samoans are left to themselves
it is thought these relations will last,
for it is believed the natives were
sincere in their expressions when they
said they knew that the commission
had come to Samoa for the good Of
Samoa" But this would be in direct
opposition to the sentiments Of the
white people on the beach, who, for
pecuniary purposes, desire to compel
the three powers to keep their war
ships in the harbor all the year round
This means to them many dollars in
good money. Since January. 1899, the
cash estimated to have been paid to the
crews of the various ships in port is
$50, ,O00 The best part of this money
has been spent in Apia. One store
keeper told me that it was worth to
him each month just $500 for each
vessel in the harbor. The natives also
reap harvest from the ships by SELL
ing curios and fruit, this being their
only means of making money, and they
of course are deslrous of seeing the
ships remain in port. One of the prin
cipal traders on the beach has seven
different stores on the islands, and
since January has twice sold out the
entire stock of each store, and was
complaining that he could not receive
his goods from San Francisco fast

~ Yaqui Indians signed a treaty of
~ peace with the Mexican Govern
L - ment d little over two years ago,
and their country, which has been
terra incognita to all but members of
their own tribes for over two centuries,
was thrown open to settlement, hun
dreds of adventuresome men went from
this part of Texas to prospect for gold
along the Yaqui River. 1t will be re-
membered that Immediately following
the signing of the treaty of peace by
the Yaquis reports were freely circu
lated that gold pIacers in fabulous rich
ness existed in the heretofore unknown
region. These glowing reports stimu
lated the rush of prospectOrs.
Among those from this section who
sought their fortunes in the remote re-
gions was Thomas GrevoIt, formerly
prominent stOckman of Llano County.
He has just arrived at the town of Ter
razas. in the State of Chihuahua, after
an exciting experience with the Yaqui
Indians. In a letter 10 D. T. Rainey

volt says:
I have Providence to thank that I
have again reached the outskirts of civ
ilization and am able to write you these
few lines. The Yaquis are on the great
est rampage in their history, and un
less speedy relief comes the hundreds
of unsuspecting American miners in
the YaQui country will all be n1assacred
and robbed of what gold they have ac-
cumulated. 1t was only by mere luck
that I got out in time. John Herkner,
one of my partners, who used to live
at San Antonio, Tex, was on his way

that Herkner was killed. There were
several Americans below me to the
south of Soyopa, and unless they We're
warned in time many of these prospect
ors were killed. This Tomachic Indian
told me that the YaQuis had planned to
sweep the whole valley and kill and rob
every American and Mexican in their
Path. He said that the ranches of Jose
Merea and Andreas LOngera, near
COcori, had just been attacked by the
Yauuis Merea and five cowboys were
killed in defending their home. and his
wife and two children were massacred
LOngera mana ged to get his wife and
children into the mountains when he
saw the Indians coming, but several of
his cowboys, who resisted the attack,
were killed.
