Have Yaqui Prisoners.

Austin, Tex, Oct. 30.-Information was
received here from Ortiz, state of Soncrl,
Mexico, stating that a detachment Of
Mexican troops have arrived here, having
in charge 25 Yaqui Indian prisoners,
whom they were taking to Guaymas to
be placed in prison pending a settlement
of the war. Hitherto the Mexican forces
have given out the information that they
were taking no prisoners, nor would they
take any, as they proposed to kill the In
dams as fast as they came upon them.
The fact that they brought in 25 today,
however, evidences the fact that they in
tend to take prisoners.
1t is reported that these prisoners were
captured in a skirmish with Indians near
Sahuaripa, Mexico, during which several
Mexican soldiers were wounded.
1t is also reported that two were killed
and one or two taken prisoners by the
Indians. Immediately following this Skin
mish, which was somewhat in the nature
of a surprise to the Indians, the main
body of Indians retreated to the noun
tains northwest of Sahuaripa and are now
hiding in the mountain Businesses.

Fitzsimmons Won.

Chicago, Oct 3O.-Jeff Thorne, the
English pugilist, was knocked out by Bob
Fitzsimmons in one minute of fighting at
Tattersalls. Thorne who was evidently
very much afraid of Fitzsimmons, did not
land a single blow, and only made one
light attempt to lead with his left, the
blow falling short by several inches. The
blow delivered by Fitzsimmons was a
short left jolt, which did not pass through
six inches of space before landing on
Thorne's jaw. After Thone was counted
out Fitzsimmons picked him up bodily
and carried him to his corner, placing him
on chair which Sam Fitzpatrick, who
had been confident of Thorne's victory,
had placed hurriedly on the platform.

The Boer War.

London, Oct. 30.-The South African
war has now been in progress nearly three.
weeks and so far the British arms have
been consistently crowned with moment
airy successes, though at a cost which veri-
fes President Krugers prediction that the
conflict would stagger humanity. But
though victory has fallen to Great Britain
whenever and wherever the issues were
of paramount importance, Central Whites
position is scarcely more reassuring than
at the outbreak of the war. So far he has
only shown his ability to outwit by STRAIT
egg the Beers strategy. That, in its con-
ception, meets high praise from the Brit
ish military critics. Now he appears to
have reached the limit of this game of
war by which he was able to prevent the.
massing of the Boer columns and must
either meet the enemy's combined forces,
or retreat. Many people think that Gen
eral White should rest content with the
successes so far achieved and fall back on
Colenso, pointing out that he appears TO.
be fully able to move his forces quickly
and without deterioration. 1t is scarcely
probable that he will follow this course,
preferring rather to hold Ladysmith,
though against much superior numbers,
until reinforced. 1t is the feeling that the
general intends to follow the latter course
that creates uneasiness, for victories over
Beers as units are not believed to indi-
cate that the same result can be achieved
over the Beers when massed.
