Yaquis Indians Have Broken ont and are
Numbering,
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, August IA spe-
cial to the Globe-Democrat from Ortiz,
Mexico, says:
Any doubt that the Yaauis are on
the warpath in earnest was dispelled
to-day when news reached here that
several Americans and Mexicans had
been killed in Pueblo, or towns in the
Yaquis river valley east and southeast
of this station.
The courier who came in with the
news Of the slaughter declares that he
saw a desperate fight at point forty
miles southeast of Ortiz. and that he
has positive evidence that J. F. Rem
ley, merchant of Hermosilo, and E.
Miller, a photographer in his employ,
were among the killed.
Remley was one of the best known
Americans in Sonora.
The inhabitants of the towns in and
near the Yaqui valley are in state of
terror.
Gen. Torres, commander of the First
military zone, which includes Sonora,
Sinaloa and Lower California, who was
in the field with the Twelfth regiment,
is reported among the slain.
No information is obtainable as yet
of the number of fighting Indians I'M
der arms, but if the outbreak is of the
proportions of the war ended in 1897,
the number may be placed at between
three and four thousand. This out
break is surprise to the State and
army officials.
1t is impossible to secure accurate
{ figures as to the total number killed to
date, but the estimate at fifty on each
side is not considered excessive.

Sundays Fight Mt Calamba. Resulted In
Seven Americans Killed and Twenty
Wounded.
MANILA, August 1850 a. m.-
Sundays fight at Calamba was warm
one. The insurgents were unwilling 20
abandon the place, which is the key
to the lake road. General Hall, hear
ing that General Malbar was preparing
to make an attack, sent Major Wels-
enberger with three companies of the
Twenty-first infantry, three troops OF
cavalry and one of Hamilton's guns to
attack the insurgents. This detach-
ment found a force of 1000 rebels be-
hind hastily made intrenchments. The
rebels held their fire until the contin-
gent of the Twenty-first regiment was
within 800 yards, when they fired
volley. The Americans dropped in the
high grass out of sight and returned
the fire. Lieutenant Love, who was
walking erect along the front OF the
men, was shot in the arm. An insur-
gent officer equally brave stood at the
top of the trenches, directing the fire
OF the insurgents, until he was killed,
when the Filipinos fed.
During the fighting on the north
side of the town a small body of insur-
gents attempted TO enter on the south
side, but troop of cavalry repulsed
them
The total American loss at Calamba
was seven killed and twenty wounded.
Sixteen dead insurgents have been
found.
The American garrison at Morong is
going to Calamba.
A body Of insurgents has visited
Taytay, where they killed several ma
tives who were friendly to the Ameri-
cans.

INGERSOLL'S ESTATE

VIII Probably be Distributed Under the
Law-Not Likely That He Made viii.
NEW YORK, August IA man
who is closely connected with the late
Col. Robert G. Ingersoll's family says
that no will of Col. Ingersoll has been
found and that nobody who knew the
colonel thought there was one.
''The colonel did not believe in
Wills" he said ''All who knew him
well have heard him say so frequently.
His theory was that a mans estate
should be settled and distributed by
the machinery of the law constructed
for that purpose"
do you know whether he ever ex-
pressed any wishes about he DISPOSE
ton of his estate?"
mo, it is very improbable that he
did. In don't think he ever thought
much about that subject. He consid-
cred the law fair and was willing to
trust to it."
AS to what Col Ingersoll left, the
man said he did not believe anybody
knew yet He thought it extremely
unlikely that the family had made any
investigations.

A QUESTION OF RESIDENCE.

Washington Times.
In the course of a conversation with
S. E. johnson, of the Cincinnati En-
quirer. who has lately been in Ohio,
about the politics of that State, he was
asked what effect the charge that John
R. Mclean was nonresident was hav-
ing upon the political situation in the
Buckeye State.
Il hardly heard it mentioned" he
answered, though I ran against nearly
everything that could be said pro and
con on the subject of Mclean. l think
the people understand that it is nom
sense-a weak invention of the enemy
to talk about Mclean ever having de-
tached himself from Ohio. He votes
in his old ward and precinct in Gin
cinnati, and his most important bust
ness interest is in that city. There is
nothing else he is so watehful of as
the Enquirer. Anybody who thinks he
does not keep in touch with that prop
erty should try working for him for a
while. He is in active communication
with the paper every night when in
Washington, over a private wire. and
frequently monopolizes it so that the
rest of us have to take our stuff to the
regular telegraph office.
His theory is that the National Cap
ital is the seat of political news, and
that he can be of more service here
than he can be at home-or, at least,
a part of the time. He is about the
most active reporter on the Washing
ton staff. The fact is the rest of us
wish he would go away and stay. He
makes lot of trouble. About the only
time we have repose in our Office is
when Mr. Mclean goes home and
pushes things along in Cincinnati, or
to the seashore, or to the mountains
for month or so in the summer. He
is, first Of all, a newspaper man, and
he sepnds a great deal of his time on
newspaper business.
at is we'll understood that he has
interests in Washington, and, indeed,
in other places besides Cincinnati; but
I can't believe he would exchange his
interests in Ohio for all the other prop

X political debts. 81 bribes for political
service vet to come. This almost with
out exception has been the rule and is
the rule with the present incumbent,
or incubus. of the presidential chair.
Before our system OF politics were
SO well advertised the presidential APP
pointments were sources of wonder to
our European neighbors. They have
made all manner of quiet fun of our
petty politicians who, upon receiving
appointments as ministers to foreign
countries, are termed diplomats"
They do not wonder any more; and
when they notice the appointment Of
a man named Root-corporation attor-
ney. after-dinner speaker, don't know
shotgun from musket-they merely
smile. They often don't know the
causes that lead to such appointments,
but they know that it has something
to do with politics.
When We glance at the biographical
sketch Of European war minister We
expect to find record of experience,
and we usually do. The rule in all
pations-unless ours makes the ex-
ception-is that the war department
should be under the direction of a mil
itary man. Notice the magnificent per-
sonality of the European war bureaus
to-day-not a Root among them.
The president, IN order to keep his
position secure and his path to a sec
ond term unobstructed, does not want
a secretary of war, and with this in
view he never had a secretary of war.
The Office was nominally held by Al
ger, who as a subservient politician
did his masters bidding. He bought
worthless beef from trust because
this trust gave $650,060 toward the
election of Mckinley. He sent equity,
hammock-ridden old roue to Cuba, and
a tyranical, narrow-minded, incapable,
fussy old man to the Philippines as
commanders of our armies. A man OF
intelligence in either case was not
needed, because he might have been
successful, and success would threaten
the chances for another term of this
benevolent assimilator." Instead, there
must be disease, death, misery, suffer-
ing and wasted blood and treasure,
merely to keep this spineless president
and his parasite minions in power.
Talent and military genius were ig-
nored and incapacity exalted with pow
er, in order that the Mckinley political
destiny should not be dwarfed. For
these crimes committed against the
national welfare the late secretary has
received the blame. He paid 100000
for the position, and heroically as
sumed the plumbers and frightful mis-
management emanating from the Peck
sniffian executive behind him. Alger,
the man, has resigned, and his salary
will now be drawn by a man named
Root, but Alger-meaning incapacity
and political jobbery-it still at the
helm of the war department, and his
ether name is William Mckinley.

SHOULD THE SECRETARY OF WAR
BE an Experienced Man or Should He be
Golf Player

Golf Player?
To the Editor of the Register.
The New York Sun in its alteration
Of Elihu Root, who, by the way, is the
Suns legal adviser, has discovered that
it is not necessary that the Secretary of
War should be an experienced man.
AS convincing proof of the correct
ness Of its position, the Sun cites a
long list of persons who occupied the
position who were civilians-many Of
whom perhaps, previous to appoint
ment, did not know minnie ball from
a cod fish ball. Among these civilians
degree of credit, while one pre-emi-
nently distinguished himself. That
these civilians held the Office without
bringing scandal and disgrace upon
themselves is no proof that they have
a claim upon the Office equal to that OF
men of military experience.
That civilians have been successful
in this position is rather the result Of
happy accident, for the very nature of
the office presupposes its administration
by a person of military experience.
He has in charge the provision and
support of the army, its clothing, pay
and equipment; has charge of all mill
tary stores, and must see that the army
is kept in efficient condition and ready
for war. In the words of Bancroft,
he should "be man of Judgment, thor
oughly versed in military affairs, and of
eminent organization ability" Such a
person William Mckinley finds in Eli
hu Root, corporation lawyer, special
pleaGer and golf player, the congenial
companion of those war-like veterans
of champaign dinners and post pran-
chial orations, Joseph Choate and
Chauncey Depew.
If the assumption of the Sun and 9TH
er papers be true, it would be eminent
ly proper to appoint shopkeeper to
the attorney generalship, or make
professional pugilist secretary of state.
This of course, considering SPECIAL fit
ness, would be ridiculous. yet under
present political conditions and the dis
graceful tendencies of McKinleyism
this state of affairs is not altogether
improbable. Everything is sacrificed
to political ends and purposes.
Washington seemed to think the posi-
ton one that demanded the services of
a military man. His first secretary of
war was General Henry Knox; his
other two appointments, Pickering and
McHenry, were both men of ample mil
itary experience. The reason that those
most excellent precedents have been
ignored, and the necessities Of the Office
overlooked, has not been from a lack
of worthy and experienced material,
but rather has been due to the evolu-
ton Of practical politics. We have
heads of depart hents who are united
in every way fof the positions to which
they have been appointed. As is often
the case IN tbs country the appoint
ments are oth|ps more th.a paynsnts

Bodies of His Followers Disinterred at
Harpers Ferry-To be Buried at North
EIba. n. Y.
NEW YORK, August IA special to
the Times from Washington says:
Capt. E. P. Hall and DR.. Thomas
Featherston, both of this city,
have returned from Harper's Ferry,
where they have been exhuming the
bodies of seven of John Browns raid
ers. The bodies have been sent to
North Elba, N. Y, where they will be
buried near the grave of the leader
under whom they fought and died. Of
the other three raiders who were killed
at Harper's Ferry the remainder: ,E5a,
at Harpers Ferry, the remains of one,
Watson Brown, were recovered and
buried near John Browns body in
1882. Where the other two are no one
can tell. They were taken away from
Harper's Ferry after the fight and were
used in a medical college for anatomi-
cal purposes. Watson Browns body
was taken away for the same purpose,
but it was traced and recovered by
Mrs. Brown many years afterward.
The two whose whereabouts are I'M
known were jeremiah G. Anderson and
Lewis S. Leary, the latter a negro.
Ceremonies are to be held at John
Browns grave and it is said that the
Rev. Joshua Young. who buried John
Brown and who suffered social criti-
cism for it, will take part. He is now
living in Groton, Mass. A monument
is to be erected over the graves at
North Eba The bodies recovered are
those of Oliver Brown, Stewart Taylor,
w. H. Leeman, William Thompson,
Dauphin o. Thompson, John H. Kagi
and Dangerfield Newly. A fragment
of the bearskin overcoat in which, ac-
cording to tradition, Oliver Brown was
buried, was found in one of the graves,
and two lead pensils dropped from it
when taken up.

since January 1. The demand for
hickory, oak and other hard woods is

it did six months ago and it is hard
