chicago, Aug. S.-A special to the

General Torres has almost completely
surrounded Bicam, a Yaqui stronghold
where nearly 1000 savages are massed.

extended further north than the Sahua-

The government now has nearly 5000
men in the field. Two hundred volun-
teers will leave Guaymas for Medano
tonight on the steamer Jalisco. A fight
is expected on entering the Yaqui river
with large band of savages that last
week attacked and burned three sloops,
a. Fares, a well known Mexican at
Hermosillo, losing his life in the en-

points in southern Sonora is practically

Yaqui valley, but has led many Mex

Indians Are Spoiled.
Peter B. Chism, a prominent Amer
lean merchant in Guaymas and one of
the signerS of the treaty made by the
Mexican government with the Yaquis
in 1897, declares the Indians have been
spoiled through kindness. The govern
ment has given them the very choicest
strips of land in the valley, containing
$50, 900 acres. encroachments on which
have never been made and would not
be tolerated by the government. Every
man, woman and child on the reserva-
ton received monthly thirty-five pounds
of corn and so cents in money until
they became able to raise their own
crops, the government furnishing 800
yoke of oxen and all the necessary i'm
plements and seed as a gift.
But instead of trying to improve their
opportunities, Mr.. Chism says, they
considered the governments generosity
extended through fear and commenced
to make unreasonable demands, backed
with threats of war. a great number
of them have been drunk since June "a,
when their feast began.
Mr.. Chism declares that it will re-
quire many more troops than are at
present ordered to the front, with Wig
orous measures to smother the upris-
ing.
The man-of-war Democratic arrived
tonight from Ensenada, Lower Califor-
mia, with the remainder of the Seventh
regiment. The Democratic and the
transport Oaxaca left today for San

his suicide is shrouded.
The counsel for Dreyfus met today at
his wife's residence With the heads OF
the Dreyfusite party. and consulted on
the present aspect of the affair. They
went there after they had examined the
documents of the secret dossier in the
Judges room. They do not see any pos
sibility of repeating the judgment of
1894.
Dreyfus GREATLY Fatigued.
Dreyfus was greatly fatigued after
yesterdays ordeal. He asked anxiously
today what the press and public
thought, and was led to think that
opinion was generally favorable. This
is true. The representatives of nation
alis- journals here, who judge harshly
in Print, express admiration for the I'M
finching constancy he has displayed.
Leading personages here for the trial
have much to say about the late Cen
eral Annenkoff and Baron Frederick in
with Dreyfus. but General
MERCER and NJ. Hanotaux. former min

he and MERCER contradict each

one on Wilson.

The most heart-rending. hard-luck
story I've heard in months was told
me recently by a theatrical man, and
concerns a comic opera comedian who
has recently written a book about
Eugene Field. The comedian makes
no end of money and scOrns anything
like ostentatious recklessness in the
spending of it, He is almost morbid
on the subject in fact-you know how
sensitive the artist nature Island there
are those who say that he goes to even
ing instead of morning service so that
he may have the use of the money he
drops into the box little longer This
which befell him not so very long ago
in Cleveland, says a Washington Post
writer. Somebody had played an en-
gagement at a certain theater there.
and had received a frigid reception,
which stage people call frost The
comedian wasn't going to run any
risks. He couldn't play at the theater
unless a certain amount of money was
promised him. The manager of the
theater offered very large percentage
of the receipts, but, oh, dear, no! the
willy comedian wasn't to be caught by
any such chaff as that. He insisted on
a lump sum regardless of receipts. The
sum was guaranteed, the contract
signed. The comedian came to town,
and strolling. as If by chance, into the
box office, asked how the house was
selling.
"Oh," said the ticket seller, 1--WE sold
every ticket in the house 10 days ago"
The comedians blood boiled.
"Would," said he to himself, "Oh,
would that had accepted the percent
age. 1t would have been double what
| get now"
1t was too late, however, to rely on
simple woulding to change matters, so
he sought the foremost attorney of the
town, showed him the contract. and
expressed his desire to break it, and
abide by the customary percentage
plan. Before the attorney would con-
sent to express an opinion the question
of fee came up, and the comedian
handed him $500. The man at law then
took the contract and examined it.

tract can't possibly be broken. | drew
