INDIAN WAR IN MEXICO.
Woman Revered M u saint Believed to
BE Responsible for the Ysqui
Outbreak.

FL Paso, Tex. Aug. s. Santa Teresa,
Mexican woman who has long been
revered as a saint by the natives OF
Chihuahua and Sonora, and is believed
to possess the power Of healing the
sick by the laying on of hands, is be-
lieved to be more or less responsible for
the present outbreak among the Yaq vi
Indians. George Harold, an old Texas
ranger, says that he is confident that
Santa Teresa is responsible for the out
break. Harold was one Of the officers
who rounded up the ringleaders Of
the raid on the Mexican custom house
at Palomas, Chihuahua, few years
ago. Santa Teresa" he says, twas
implicated in the rebellion, which was
crushed in its incipiency. Every rebel
captured on this side Of the line had a
picture Of the woman in his possession
and on the back OF the picture was in.
scribed one Of her prayers"
After the Palomas raid the Mexican
government made an effort to appre-
bend her. She escaped to this town,
however, and remained here year or
more. While here she was visited by
thousands. About year ago the
woman disappeared from this locality
and II afterwards turned out that she
had gone to Sonora and had taken up
her abode in the edge Of the Yaqui vii
lagos, where she was safe from moles-
tation from the Mexican government.
1t is said that the Mexican army will
open up active warfare on the Yaqui
Indians to-day. For week the Mexi-
can soldiers already in the Yaqui terri
tory have been engaging the Indians
until the main body of men could be
modified. In doing this they have
lost quite n number of their soldiers,
while the Indians have lost compare
lively few warriors. 1t is stated now,
however, that the Mexican soldiers are
about mobilized-at least, there are
about 1900 men on the tield--and that
is considered to be sufficient number
to justify the troops moving into the
mountains, with instructions to push
through and, II possible, exterminate
the Indians.
The situation is said to be worse
even than it was during the ten-years'
war. The Indians are determined that
they will fight until they regain every
foot Of the territory taken from them
by the treaty three years ago, and the
Mexican government is determined to
effectually exterminate the Indians, so
as to secure all the land from the In
dians and prevent any further out
break. The Indians have already
waded deep in blood, according to Off
cial advices, having killed about 100
miners and as many soldiers.

CRIME OF A DEsERTER.
An American Sailor Kills and Mutllatss
Another American and Two Japa-
nese Women In Japan.

San Francisco, Aug. s.-Chief Officer
W. Smith, Of the Hong Kong Maru,
brings some particulars of the murder
Of R. Nelson Ward, young American,
and two Japanese women by an Amer
lean sailor named Miller at Yokohama
on the morning Of July II. Ward was
the son Of wealthy resident Of Abing'
don, Va, and was % years of age. His
body was found with the head cut off
and the ears and hand and an arm
severed The two japanese women
were also horribly mutilated. The
cause Of the murder was jealousy on
the part of Miller. The murderer is
supposed to have lived at Buffalo, N. Y.
He reached Yokohama on the Tam
O'Shanter, where he deserted. The
murder was done in the Rising Sun
saloon, which was owned by one of the
Japanese women. Miller will be tried
by Japanese law as the new treaty
with the United States went into effect
before the murders we're committed.

ENOUGH ARMY SUPPLIES NOW.

Washington, Aug. THE army is
now in possession of sufficient supplies
to meet all probable emergencies. This
condition exists for the first time since
war was threatened. The quarter
masters department has been behind
in its efforts to supply the troops in
the field with suitable clothing. There
was also for long time lack of tent
age and other equipment required by
troops in the field. The supplies have
been procured by the greatest effort on
the part OF subordinate officers who
realized the necessity Of the army.

MANY EXPERIMENTS.
The Agricultural Department Inves-
tigating Along Certain Lines.
PREPARING FOR The CROP MOVEMENT
The Treasury Department Getting Ready
for the Probable Demand for More Cur
rency-Enough Army Supplies
Now for Emergencies.

Washington, Aug. DR. E. W. AL
len, assistant director of experiment
stations in the agricultural depart
ment, has just returned from a pro
longed tour Of the west, made for the
purpose Of inspecting the various sta
lions in that section of the country
He states that one of the most in
teresting lines of investigation
which Is being pursued in these
stations is that with regard to
cheese-making. The station in Wis
consin is taking the lead in this special
work and discoveries have been made
there which revolutionize the European
theory that the ripening of cheese Is
due to bacteria. The American exper-
iments demonstrate beyond doubt that
the principal change in the album
noids which take place in the ripening
process is dependent upon ferment
which is contained in the milk itself
and not to the bacteria 1t is believed
that this discovery will have an impor.
tant bearing upon cheese manufacture
in the future.
In the stations throughout the semi
arid region much attention is being
given to the investigation Of excessive
alkali in the soil. In many sections,
notably in California and Utah, there
are large regions of irrigated land
which are practically non-productive
on account Of the presence Of alkali.
Investigation makes ii plain that this
is due to irrigation and in many in.
stances to excessive irrigation. The
water applied to the soil brings the
salts to the surface when 1t rises. The
work Of the experiment stations in
connection with this problem is TO find
a remedy for this evil and this they are
seeking to do by demonstrating that
in most instances crops do not require
nearly SO much water as is applied ia
them.
DR.. Allen reports a growing friend.
ship toward the experiment stations
on the part Of the farmers. When the
stations were first established they
were regarded as an innovation, but In
many instances the farmers have come
now to depend upon them, and most Of
them regard the stations with favor.

a large unissued supply of GER
tifcates of the larger denominations
1t is the evident intention of the
treasury department to be in a position
to issue gold certificates freely for golt
coin, should the fall movement Of cur
rency lead to demand at the treasury
for gold certificates in exchange fol
gold coin. 1t is to be noted that while
gold coins can be freely had in denomi
nations of IS and $40, the law restricts
the issue Of gold certificates to denomi
nations Of $40 or multiples thereof. 1t
