YAQUIs ROUTED.

Mexican Troops Defeat Indians In .
, Series of Engagements.
CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-A special to The
Times Herald, from Guaymas, Mexico,
says military operations in the Yaqui
valley eliminated on Friday in series
of engagements and the final rout and
dispersal Of the Indians.
The Yaquis in rebellion had concen-
trated their forces at Vicam, on the
south bank. General Torres began Of
fensive operations Thursday. After a
sharp engagement the Indians fed,
leaving 80 dead on the field. The Mex
loan loss was 10 killed and % wounded.
General Torres returned to Orrin for
the night and at 4:80 O'clock the next
morning he began the march TO vicam.
The troops dislodged the Yaquis and
killed four. Five of the Twelfth bat
talon and one man of the national
guard were wounded.
Following the enemy closely, General
Torres found another force of Indians
entrenchei behind the bank of the ir-
rigation canal, where the road crosses.
After half an hour'of fighting, the va
auis were driven from this position with
a loss of six killed. One Mexican SER
geant and three soldiers were wounded.
The Yaquis are now scat tered in small
parties, and it is not likely that they
will concentrate again. The rest of the
campaign will probably consist of hunt
ing out the renegades from their hiding

PRETORIA, Aug 16.-The executive

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.--Mrs. Emily
Crawford, the correspondent, sends the
following review of the situation in the
Dreyfus case to the Associated Press
from Rennes:
All the notable Dreyfusites here are
satisfied with the result of the examine
ton of the secret dossier. They have
urged their newspaper friends in Paris
TO clamor for full publicity, knowing
that if it be granted the Nationalist and
anti-Dreyfusite parties will be utterly
disgraced. They are convinced that
the war Office dossiers TEEN with for
geries. Of course their impressions are
derived from the five counsel present at
the examination of these precious pa
pers. Publicity would mean the pillory
of General de Boisdeffre and company.
They would be pelted with their own
foul eggs, while
Captain Dreyfus Would Be Cleared
in the face Of the whole world.
The military caste here is furious at
the turn things are taking. The CORE
spondent of Russian paper told me
that in cafe frequented by officers he
unfolded the Dreyfusite Aurore to read.
All the military men near by scowled
at him in marked manner and, after
coughing and otherwise showing their
disapproval, went in body to the
other end Of the cafe as if the Russian
were leper.

who the prisoners were and where
they had been captured. He informed
me that they had been taken in an en-

day before and that there were 1900 Of
them. 1 then asked some bystander
what day of the month it was and was
told that it was such day Of certain

They Brought Woe to France and
Changed the Map OF Europe.
The Princess Bismarck changed the
political history of France unwittingly,
and but for her the Franco Prussian
war might never have been waged
Bismarck was unfriendly to France,
but the Empress Eugene hoped with
her beauty to influence him so that the
little trouble with France and Ger
many might be smoothed over. She
therefore invited the German prince
and his. wife to visit the court Of
France. AHA the Prince and Princess
Bismarck arrived in great state at the
Tuileries.
That evening there was grand re-
ception, and Eugene received the
guests in a gown which made her so
ravishingly lovely that even Prince
Bismarck, German, stolid and In love
with his wife, stood and gazed upon
her with admiration. And Eugene
was not slow to observe the effect of
her beauty upon him. She called him
to her side, and Bismarck came with
his wife upon his arm.
Now, the Princess Bismarck was tall
and gaunt and ugly, and her feet were
generous. AS she walked she showed
a great deal of sole.
While Bismarck stood talking with
Eugene an audible litter was heard
along the line of ladies. Bismarck.
who was quick as flash, followed the
glance of their eyes and saw them rest
upon the feet of his wife.
That settled the matter. The poltti-
cal history of France was altered from
that moment.
A year later, when Paris was be-
sfeged, Bismarck himself fired can

were near him heard him shout:

martial Of its paramount interest. The
murderer, apparently, chose this time
for the attempt, because it was antici-
pated that NJ. Labor would crush Gen.
eral Mercier, the former minister of
war, with his cross questioning.
The news of the shooting of M. Labor
caused an immense sensation in the

Mercier and Cassimir.Perier.
When the courtmartial was resumed,
General Mercier was confronted with
NJ Casimir Perier, the former president
of France. The latter declared that
Mercier's story told on the witness stand
Saturday, of the imminence Of war be-
tween Germany and France in 1894,
was grossly exaggerated and COM
planned Of the action Of the then minis
ter of war (Mercier,) in NOV
ing 10000 troops to the frontier,
without consulting him. AS it was NJ.
Labori's task to take General Mercier
in hand and M. Demange, associate
counsel, was quite unprepared for the
task, the few questions the latter put
were practically of little effect and Gen
eral Mercier escaped cheaply. More
over, M. Demange was deeply affected
by the attempt to assassinate his coll
league and was quite unable to do him
self justice.
When General Mercier was recalled,
in reply to the president of the court,
he reiterated his belief that Major
Count Esterhazy, in spite of the latter's
own declaration was not the author of
the bordereau, which, the witness
claimed, was written on tracing paper
and was found in an embassy.

Both M. Billot and M. Cayaignac
were positive in their opinions that
Dreyfus was guilty. M. Hanotaux and
General Zurlinden testified in the same
strain, but less emphatically than M.

When Cavaignac had finished, Col

and asked him if he had any remarks to
make upon the evidence.
