cans and has never been surveyed by
the government engineers. There are
traditions of vast mineral wealth in
this unexplored region, and one belief
current in Mexico is that the Yaqui
country holds the ruins of an ancient
and splendid capital. This city, ac-
cording to tradition, occupies noun
tain height not to be approached save
by trails which the Yaquis jealousy
guard against intrusion.
AS early as 1890 Roman Catholic mis-
sionaries entered the valley of 1, the
Yaqui, 1000 miles northwest from the
City of Mexico, which had been cap
tured by Cortez in 1921. The missions,
protected by the army, prospered, and
in the course of time the Yaqui terri
tory was added to the Spanish domain
in America. In 1875, however, the In
dams revolted against Spain. The in
vaders were defeated in battle, but
made up for their failure in arms by
artful duplicity. The Yaquis revolted
again in 1925, and again in 1882, against
Mexico, when, armed with bows, battle
axes and spears, and led by their cele-
brated chieftain, Banderas, they put
up noble fight, although finally over
come. They made another revolution
airy attempt in 1s41,, and defended their
mountain Businesses with rare valor,
and for years held the Mexican troops
at bay. Order was finally restored by
q compromise. The present conflict

will be still more sanguinary; because
to-day the Indians are we'll armed. The
bows and battle axes have been sup
planted by winchester repeating rifles
and field guns. ...a.s
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who is an au-
thority on everything pertaining to In
dian and border warfare, states that
when few years ago company began
to build railroad south from Benson,
Ariz., to .Nogales and Hermosillo, the
capital of the state of Sonora, and
still further south to Guaymas, on the
Gulf of Mexico, the Yaquis focked to
the region along the line of the road
and offered their labor which, of course,
was well paid for. With the money
thus obtained they purchased rifles of
the latest patterns and vast stores of
ammunition. Many of them continued
to work along the road, and thus kept
up the supply of funds for the purchase
of munitions of war.
R. That thev have learned to use the
white mans weapons is proven by the
fact that since the beginning of the
present revolt, or within two months,
sover a hundred miners and as many
soldiers have been shot by the rebel
.lious Indians. Gen. Miles has ex-
pressed the opinion that this war will
,not be over for months, and may drift
into years.

For the sixth time since their coun-
try has been invaded by the Caucas-
ian race the Yaqui Indians of Mexico
are now battling for their lands,
and their homes, and national in
dependence. No nation or tribe of
aborigines on the American CONT
nent has showed so sublime a love
OF liberty, greater bravery or as much
wisdom; and to one familiar with the
history of Indian revolts tits not sur
prising to hear that the Mexican gov
eminent is prepared to dispatch 10000
troops to the north to subdue the re-
bellious Yaquis.
The present war must terminate
either in humiliation or in virtual in
dependence. Military authorities, ia.
mllar with the strength and fighting
capabilities of both sides, are confident
that the Mexicans will win, but not
without terrible sacrifices; and that,
even after their defeat, the Indians
Will Keep up guerrilla warfare for

ably claim many more victims than
the late Spanish-American war and will
also be more important from a stragetic
point of view, to say nothing of it's

termined stand of the American native
against the immigrant from Europe.

"When John C. Breckenridge came to

all, because he was not only a hand
some man, but a gentleman of the most
genial manners. He had an indescrib-

he was also a ladies' man. That was not
because he was particularly dangler
