MEXICAN GRAB GAME,
Said to BE at the bottom Of the
Yaqui Indian War.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23.-Julius Ran
dali, a ~well-known mining operator from
the State of Sonora, Mexico, says the war
between the Mexican government and the
Yaquis will last for two years. Owing to
the Mexican censorship, he says, the true
state of affairs has not been revealed. The
desire of the Mexicans for the Yaquis' lands
is the principal cause of the war, In his
opinion. He said: There are probably be-
tween 1900 and $1,000 Yaquis fit to fight,
all well armed and with plenty of ammuni-
ton. They have rapid-fire guns, Krags,
Mausers. Winchesters and ~Springfelds.
They are fighting for the homes and lands
Of their ancestors. The Yaquis are thrifty
and peaceful, but, like the Beers, ght to
the death when they go TO war. They are
better prepared for war than the MeXicans.
They know intimately the territory in
which they are operating. They have made
1t q rule for years past TO keep two years
food supply always ahead. They can fight
a pinch OF hunger. In the meantime the
business interests of Sonora are Frustrated.
The Yaquis are the workers of the State,
and when they take to the gun all industries
suffer.
1T is my opinion that the war will last
for q couple of years and then be ended
by the Mexicans claiming big concessions
and the YaQuis holding on firmly TO every
right they ever claimed. This has been the
experience in the past. The situation is
do business in Sonora, but it's hard to see
what the Yaquis can do but fight. The re-
ports that Americans have been killed or
abused by the Yaquis are false and were
doubtless sent out by the Mexicans for their

under Gorringe. The Dervishes charged
with all their old dash to within eighty
yards of the guns. Wingate, with the IN
fantry, arrived in time to support Manon
and cleared the whole camp. The Dervishes
bolted through the bush, pursued by the
mounted troops. Wingate estimates Fedifs
force at $500 men, of whom 100 were killed
Wingate captured many prisoners, grain,
rifles and spears. The Egyptian casualties
were three wounded"

CINCINNATI, Nov. 23.-The Epworth
League board Of control continued its tex-
ecutive session to-day, with no abatement
of feeling on the part Of the friends and
the opponents of DR.. Schell. The committee
appointed to report what should be done by

son of the continued agitation of the case

ception of the meaning of the resolutions
adopted by the board at its meeting at In
6ianapolis, when the case was investigated.

were not intended to charge DR.. Schell with
immoral conduct. but only with ar impro-
priety. Long followed a motion

WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.-The Spanish
minister. the Duke D'Arces. called at the
State Department to-day to learn the pros
poets for the release of the Spanish pris-
oners held in the Philippines. Thus far
nothing has been heard as to the measure
of success attending the dispatch of a mes
sage from President Mckinley to Aguinaldo
concerning the Spanish captives, but 1t is
assumed that because of the recent forward
movement of the American troops and the
scattering of the Filipinos some difficulty
has been experienced by General Macarthur
in delivering the messages. The American
advances has resulted in freeing scattered
bands. about sixty in all. and besides these
200 sick prisoners are about to be released
and put aboard an American ship now on
the way north to receive them. There re-
mains now about 2,00O, or 5000 Spanish pris-
onerS in the hands Of the insurgents.

DUBLIN, Nov. GA conference of the
Nationalist members of Parliament was
held here to-day with the object of bringing
about a reunion of the different Irish fac
tons. Timothy Harrington presided. Only
a score of commoners were present. Mr..
Healy explained the absence of John Dillon
and his followers, but he said he thought
1T was the duty of the conference to pro-
coed to consideration of the proposals CT
Mr. Redmond's party and discuss a basis
for reunion. Mr.. Healy added that under
the circumstances he believed it was best
TO repropose the resolution adopted at the
last conference and subsequently rescinded,
namely, that "a committee OF this confer
ence be appointed to confer with Mr.. Red
monds party with a view of accomplishing
a reunion of the Irish national representa-
tives."
After a discussion in which Arthur O'Con-
nor declared that the proposed, or any other
committee, should only be appointed with
the distinct understanding that home rule
should be made the main object in and out
of season, the resolution was adopted. z. j.

Captain L~eonhauser's capture Of the town

followed a cattle trail TO the rear of the

town and the others thanking II.
The insurgent force was asleep, except
those at the Outposts, and were captured
without shooting. One platoon ran down the
main street to a trench and the other de-
.taehments made a quick search OF the
houses An officer describing the scene said:
THE negro soldiers were pouring out OF
every house. dragging sleepy, frightened
Filipino soldiers by the collar and kicking
them into the street. II was a race TO see
which company would corral the most Fill
pinos. The women and children, believing
the stories told that the negro soldiers were
cannibals, shrieked frightfully. After all
the rifles had been secured the Filipinos
were surprised by being told TO go to their
homes and attend TO work"
The insurgents from the north are con-
centrating at Montalban and San Mateo,
where 1t Is expected they will make resist
ance. The Spaniards never occupied these
places and the insurgents believe them i'm
pregnable. A reconnaissance TO the north
west of San Mateo on Tuesday developed
the fact that the rebels were moving stores
and men to Montalban- The number OF the
insurgents Is unknown. A reconnaissance
made yesterday showed that two hundred
rebels are intrenched at San Mateo and
others In the valley between there and Mar
iquina. where the rebel outposts are sta
toned. Cen Young entered Gar Mateo last
September and found the place not espe-
cIally adapted for a strong resistance.

~NONPARTlSAN w. C. T. u.
1t Adjourns Without Enectfng Re-
union with the Parent Society.

PITTSBURG. Nov. 2.-The annual meet
ing Of the national executive committee
of the Nonpartisan W. c. I. l.. adjourned
to-day without having made any progress
toward a reunion with the partisan faction
other than the resolution adopted yesterday
agreeing TO a reunion if a proper basis could
be reached. The nonpartisans say they are
willing to make concessions on several ques-
lions at issue. but will agree TO no com
promise unless Ii is nonpartisan. If the par
tisans will suggest a plan for a reunion
with the nonpartisan basis the two factions
can probably be brought together.
A personal letter from Mrs. Stevens. pres
ident of the w. c. I. u, was received to-
day. but inasmuch as IL was only an ex-
preston of the president alone no action
could be taken. and the matter must rest
where Ii is until the national executive
committee of the w. c. I. u. shall make
further suggestions.

ing visit during the day, which, in view
CT his recent visit TO Hatfield House, the

ACCUSED OF SwINDLING.
Alleged Former American MajOr on
Trial in Germany.

BERLIN, Nov. 23.-The trial was begun
here to-day of Max S~chiemaugk, who de-
scribes himself as a former major of United
States volunteers, on charges of obtaining
money under false pretenses. Evidence was
produced showing hat the accused had as
sumed fictitious titles and had carried out
a series OF swindles in Berlin. 1T appears,
according to the testimony, that he W a
born in Germany, served as a private in
the German army until 1889 and committed
many dishonorable actions. In view Of his
claim that he was elected a major of a
regiment of United States volunteers during
the Spanish-American war the court en-
deavored to find in Berlin some person re-
liably informed regarding the American mi
Htia system. This attempt proving unsuc-
~cessful, the judge sent for Count Won
Goetzen, former military attache to the
German embassy in Washington, who was
commissioned by Emperor William to ac-
company the American troops during the
war for the purpose of observation and Off
cial report. The count, however, said the
American militia system had always been
a mystery to him.

and George Bailey, prominent business men
of this village. were found to-day in the
rear of their bicycle and jewelry store, both

his brother and then himself. Frank left a
letter which gives little explanation Of the
deed other than saying that he believed
some tragedy was about to befall him and
his brother. and giving directions for the
