LUCKY ESCAPES
John Rogers Gives His Experience
 During the Yaqui Outbreak

Dallas, Tex, September 22.-A special to the News from Fl Paso says:
 John Rogers, a Denver prospector, who went into the Yaqui gold country of So- nora a year ago, reached here today from the northeast branch of the Yaqui river, where he and Peter Burgess have been working the claims of Gully Brothers of Chicago. He tells thrilling taie of his experiences with the Indians, and coun,s himself fortunate that he escaped with his life
 A few days ago a band of forty Indians, tened Mexican weapons, appeared at the Gully claim and robbed the two miners of everything they possessed, including their arms and ammunition, and ordered them to leave the country immediately if they wished to preserve their lives. When the Indians appeared Rogers and Burgess were 1t work at the bottom of a forty-foot shaft which they had sunk. They were told to come out and then the braves filled a portion of the shaft with loose dirt and stCnes
 The mine is sixty miles from the nearest camp or town, and the two Americans were compelled to tramp the entire dls- tance without food. On the way they met an officer and detachment of Mexican sol dlers, who said they had been detailed to search for seven Americans from New York. who were missing from the Salurpia district They had failed to find the Ameri- cans, and the only presumption was tha [ the Yaquis had murdered them.

Boston, September 22.-The Post tomor- row will say:
 "Edward Atkinson is out with another numer of his 'Anti-Imperiahst,' in which he publishes a long array of facts, statis- tics and testimony of soldiers returning from the Philippines. He also makes numerous comments on the question of im- perialism generally, and throws down the gauntlet to Postmas ster-General Smith in a more forcible manner than ever.
 "One feature of MT. Atkinson's magazine is the manner in which he takes issue with Congressman Shattuc, of Ohio, with whom he has had controversy. Shattuc defied Atkinson to interfere in his congressional district. and the great anti-imperialist has issued a special edition in German for the benefit of Shattuc's constituents"
 The Post quotes verbatim Mr. Atkinson's 5 letter to the postmaster-genera under date of September II. The writer expressed the intention of sending copies of the magazine to the Philippines and informed him that Eff he (the pos ostmaster-generaD intends tj induce a postmaster to violate the United States mail, suggest that the order be given to the postmaster in Boston to the end that 1 may notify of him of the day and hour on which these documents will be mailed that if there is any interference with my personal rights I may take suit able measures to enforce them'

the declaration refers to po-
