INCREASING QUANTITIES BROUGHT TO THIS
COUNTRY FOR SPECIAL PURPOSES.
Although more cotton is produced in this
country than can be consumed here, there is a
growing importation Of foreign cotton. In 1876
no less than 1900 bales were brought TO Amer
lea from Egypt. and last year the imports
amounted to $1,000 bales. Ten years ago the
quantity was considerably under 5000 bales.
Eleven years ago less than 5000 bales were
brought from Peru and now the amount ranges
from 10000 To 2j.G00 bales annually.
As might be suspected. the foreign cotton is
imported for special purposes The Egyptian
product is used in making balhriggan hosiery

He estimates that there are not over

There is only one extensive mining
plant within easy reach of the Indians.
It is in the vicinity of the Baroy
and Is owned by California capitalists
An Associated Press dispatch is as
follows:
Ell PAso, Tex, Aug. s.-Reports
from all sources in southwestern Sonora
up to tod sy indicate that the war with
the Yaqui Indians is confined to the
immediate neighborhood where the
trouble started, south and west of To
rim, a month ago. Indians engaged in
numb Der more than 200 (?). Among the
renegades are those who attacked the
custom house at Nogales, Sonora, on
the Arizona line, two years ago, and
were repulsed with the aid of Ameri-
cans in the Arizona town of the same
name.
The killing of two Americans by re-
negades near TORN, three weeks ago,
was in revenge for the part taken by
Americans in the Nogales affair. The
American miners and prospectors en-
gagged in washing placer gold in nu-
merous streams now occssioned by the
rainy season, on the headwaters of the
Yaqui river. report that the Ysqui
miners are all returning to the mines
ard refuse to take part with these re-
negades. The Yaqui miners, when
they first heard of the trouble at TORN
all armed themselves and went pos,
haste to the Yaqui valley, supposine
their people had been attacked un.
awares by Mexicans.
No camps on the Yaqui river have
been molested Many untrue storieshsve
been sent out by newspaper correspond
ents. Official reports from Hermosillo
to Gen. Diaz are to the effect that re-
ne9ades are being holly pursued and
will be scattered by cavalry detach
ments in few weeks.

NO BATTLE YET
If the MexiCans Have Encountered
the Yaquis the Report of the
Fight Has Not Yet Reached the
ErOntier.

There lie no further news of a battle
having been fought between General
Torres troops and the Indians near
BEGAN.
Reliable reports place the number of
troops at 5000 and of the Indians at that
one point at 1900.
Heretofore the Indians have been
moving about in small bands of from q
half dozen to twenty-five warriors, but
during the past few days they have
concentrated at BEGAN and General
Torres's army is preparing to attack.
If the Indians are defeated they will
break up into small bands and retreat
to the mountains, where they have al
ready driven 5000 head of stolen cattle
and are prepared for q long siege.
A special to the Globe-Democrat
from Casas Grandes, Mexico, August Z,
says:
One regiment of Mexican cavalry
left here today and is marching to the
headwaters of the Yaqui river, in the
state of Sonora. 1t is the evident in
tention of these troops to enter the
Yaqui Indian country from the porth
tho the war sd1sA'0r braves 70 out o''S Of
their strongholds in the Sahuaripa
mountains, where they are rapidly
gathering in large mum bers. One
body of the rebellious Indians has for
lifted itself in the Bacatete mountains,
between the Yaqui and Matape rivers,
md an effort is to be made to keep the
two forces of warriors apart. 1t is
known, however, that the two divisions
are in constant communication with
each other by means of q courier, and
# is feared that the Indians are plan
ming to draw the Mexican soldiers into
an smbuscade.
Two more parties of American pros
pectors have just arrived at Cssas
Grandes. They had rich placer
camp near the junction of Paphigochic
and Bstepito rivers, which they aban-
danoned upon hearing alarming re-
ports of murders and other terrible out
RACES committed by robing bands OF
Yaquis at points below them. Capt.
Martin Ross, an old Arizona pros
pector, is member of one Ct
these parties. He was one OF
the first prospectors to enter the
Yaqui country after it was opened to
gold hunters. He says that the In
