Austin, Tex, Oct. l6.--Information
reached here from Ortiz, state of Sonora,
Mexico, containing the following reference
to the Yaqui indian war:
Military scouting parties reaching the
military mobilization point at Torin, this
state today report that large bodies OF
Yaqui Indians are being modified at the
base of the mountains TO the north OF
that place near Sahuripa. 1t is estimated
that there are fully $500 Indians there at
present and additional arrivals are COM
ing in all the time.
At the present time the Mexican forces,
numbering 5000 troops in all, are modified
in or near TORN and it is understood the
object of their concentration at that point
is to move into the Yaqui country at an
early date, probably the middle of next
week, and then open active and vigorous
warfare on the Indians with a view of
driving them out and ending the war at
once.
This mobilization of Mexican troops has
been conducted as quietly as possible with
a view Of sweeping down on the Indians
while they are still scattered through the
Yaqui country in small bands, taking
them by surprise and sweeping them off
the face of the earth, the order having
been given to take no prisoners.

communication reduced the news obtain

no reliable information has been received
OF any actual fighting except at Kraaipan

facts in this mornings kilograms are that
the Beers have advanced beyond New

that Kimberly is isolated and probably in

Kimberly has thus become the immedi-
