War on the Yaquis.

Los Angeles, Sept. 21.-Official reports
OF two battles between MeNicans and
1aquis have just been received here.
General Luis Torres has declared the
campaign suspended until October, but
the 1aquis were not consulted on that
point. Lorenzo Torres also appears to
have made different arrangements.
On September IA Lorenzo Torres
: crossed the river to Nicam, town sup
posed TO have been captured by Luis
Torres in August, and found the Indians
They attacked his rear guard and run
ming fight ensued. The report says the
Indians were dispersed and nine killed.
The Mexican loss was five killed and nine
wounded, among the latter Lieutenant
Colonel Navarro of the Eleventh battal-
ion one Of the best officers on the Mexican
side.
The report of battle on the 18th IS
also authentic and its statements may
be accepted. The forces under Hernandez,
number not stated, encountered 1000 In
dianS near Lake Zaquacca, a small lagoon
between TOiin and POtam. The Indians
retired from the open field and sought
cover in the thick woods, where the com
bat ragged for more than two hours, be-
ginning at o'clock in the morning. Tie
report says the Indians were defeated,
leaving on the field 81 dead The MeNi
can losses are stated as IA soldiers killed
and So wounded. Major Ruiz of the
National Guard was mortally wounded,
and Julian Esponzo, captain of the va
quis who are friendly to the Mexcans,
and Tetcbias, a lieutenant in the 10
years war, were killed.
An interesting feature of the reports
is the statement that several inhabitants
of river towns were taken prisoner by the
Yaquis in July, and have been released
and have returned to headquarters in To-
rim Heretofore the Mexicans have rep.
resented the Yaquis as invariably tortur-
ing and killing all prisoners.

Men Present-GOOd Weather.

Boston, Sept. 27.-The new battleshiT
kcarsage lett her anchorage, about -four
miles off Boston light, for the trial course
off Cape Ann to have her speed test. Tho
members of the naval trial board, repre-
sentatiyes of the Newport News Ship
building & Drydock Company, the build
ers of the big vessel, and several men whc
had been granted the privilege, went on
board the battleship just before she
weighed anchor.
The weather was excellent at the start
the water was smooth and the wind mod
crate.
As the big battleship crossed the line
under full Roadway, her bow pushed up
an enormous volume of water and great
waves were thrown up asteln by her
screws. She made good speed, however,
although the tide was against her and
wind nearly abeam.
The vessel passed the Potomac the sec
ond mark boat, sc miles from the start, at
l0;50:45, shore time, covering the dis
lance in "a minutes and five seconds
This shows speed of 1914 knots
From shore the third mark was indis-
tinct, but the Kearsage appeared to have
it abeam at ll:l4, having "a minutes
and IL seconds on this leg, which would
make her speed l73 knots per hour.
These are sections of course over which
formerly the slowest time has been
made.
At 1924 the big ship was lost to view
in the haze.
The kearsage crossed the finish line at
2:47:l0, having taken four hours 20
minutes and 80 seconds for the run.
An estimate, deducting 80 minutes for
turning at Cape Porpoise, shows that
she exceeded II knots by fraction.

There Is one question, the Alaska

block to the success of the joint high

sure, in this audience who will regret it.
or would express any regret upon it.
I'VE have done our best, and if we have
done nothing else, we have stood by the
dignity, the honor and the rights of Cana.
da. We want TO be on the very best OF
terms with Our neighbors to the south
We want to trade with them, but if they
will not trade with US, our hearts will not
be broken by the fact. We can live with.

though | make no secret that there are
many things upon which /, for one, would
be glad to have better relations with

But if the price is to be paid by the
sacrifice of Canadian honor, we will have
none of that price, and we will continue

Two Million Visitors.

W.
New York. Sept 29.--Beginning today
there will be real crush in the New
York hotels. Practically all OF them were
filled to their utmost capacity several
nights ago, but thousands of persons who
engaged quarters weeks and months ago
will arrive in the city to claim them.
Other thousands we're accommodated last
night with the understanding they should
seek other quarters today
Governors, captains of vessels i'll Dew
ey's fleet, members of the cabinet and DILL
GERS high in the navy will arrive in the
city. Quarters for all of the city's guests
have been provided, but all others who
come to seek rooms in the hotels will be
turned away.
Many OF the leading hotels, while turn
ing away strangers, have been rese1V-
ing considerable number OF rooms Tor
their regular patrons in case any should
appear at the eleventh hour to seek ac-
commodations. Before nightfall, however
everything worth having will be taken,
| and visitors must turn to the boarding
houses.
Estimates of the number Of visitors al
ready here range from 100000 to 1000
600. Most OF the railroads agree that I'M
less weather conditions are most untaVor-
able, there will be 100000 visits here
on Friday and Saturday. The greatest in
ward movement is expected on Thursday
night.
All the roads have been running about
/ two-thirds of their capacity for the last
week. Railroad men themselves express
establishment at the great advance move
ment toward New York. Low rates do
not go into effect until Thursday, so their
inducement has not brought the thou
sands who have come so far in advance
of the reception ceremonies. 1t shows, too,
the railroad men say, that the visitors who
are now coming to New York have plen-
ty of money to spend.
! Officials of the Metropolitan system said
that traffic figures turned in indicated
that already there were probably 100000
visitors in the city. President Vreeland
said there would be double the number on
Friday and Saturday.
