SAYS YhQUI WAR WAS
STARTED BY SCHEMERS

LONG BEACH, Aug. 12-"You may
safely gamble your last cent there is
some big colonization scheme behind all
this Yaqui business" said John A.
Gowan of this city to a Call man to-
day. IT have been among the Yaquis for
years" he continued, have had hun
dreds of them working for me and at
one time could speak their language,
though now a great many of the words
have gone from me. I found them a
peaceable, industrious class, much bet
ter than the average Indian. They
have their little patches of ground upon
which they raise vegetables and sell
them to the miners and in the small
towns, working between crops at what
ever may come along. F'rugality is one
of their characteristics, and it is seldom
indeed you find one Of them broke. To
be sure, they drink a little on feast
days, but what better could you expect
For all they are quiet and peace-loving
these Yaquis will fight when occasion
demands, and do a good job at it, too;
in fact they are too much for the Mex
lean soldiers, as has been proven on
many field.
"They own thousands of acres Of the
finest land in Mexico, along the Yaqui
River, and for years there have been
hundreds Of men looking for some eX-
cuse to take it from them. In this, 1t is
my opinion, will be found the real cause
of this difficulty. Some schemers have
taken advantage of the fact that the
men were full of mescal to embroil
them with prospectors or other intrud-
ers, knowing that a war could only re-
suit in the opening Of the coveted land
to settlement. Then there are the men
who used to draw large salaries from
the Government, to say nothing Of the
pickings for feeding the soldiers in the
old war times who have been out of
Jobs during the peace. All of them are
naturally anxious to see trouble start
ed, and between the two it has been
easy enough to force these unfortunate

private letter from United States Com
missioner Bartlett Tripp to Assistant
Secretary Cridler. summing up what
had been done and giving much light on
personal phases of the inquiry. Mr..
Trip took occasion to dispose Of re-
port that the failure of MIR. Eliot, the
British Commissioner, to return with
the party on the Badger had any in
ternationaI significance. He said Mr.
Eliot had gone home by way of New
Zealand because he had a sister living
there and desired TO visit her. No men
ton was made of the circumstances
leading up to the retirement Of Chief
Justice Chambers. Mr.. Tripp will not
come to Washington at once. but will
first go to his home in Yankton, S. D.
After going over the report Mr..
CridIer will make a summary to be for
warded to Secretary Hay. Now that
the report is on hand it remains for
the three governments to determine
whether the recommendation of the
committee is to be accepted, and as yet
there has been no step in that direc-
tiOn.

Special Dispatch to The Call,

Two weeks ago this morning The
Call published in full the report of
the Samoan Commission and the re-
modelled treaty. Not until yesterday
did this report reach Washington.
The excellence of The Calls news ser
vice is illustrated by the fact that it
gave to the State Department and to
the world news that was not received
through official channels until fort
night later.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The report
Of the Samoan Commission was re-
ceived at the State Department to-day.
II is a voluminous document. and until
there has been opportunity for the Off
ciaIs to go over it the details Will not
be made public. It's essential features
are well known, however, and include
the abolition of the kingship and
the substitution of an administrator or
Governor General, agreed upon by the
three powers, and the adoption Of GER
tain measures Of local government
among the natives.

learned that certain phases Of the az
fair had become public property, as he
claims that general knowledge of the
affair will greatly hamper his investi-
cations.
The first inkling the attaches of the
came when Tim" Whelan, serving a
life sentence for murder from San
Francisco, had been removed from the
''hoodoo" gang and set at work III the
jute mill. This was a strategy, which,
it was thought, would result in Pret-
zeI's detection, as Whelan was regarded
as his right bower in the smuggling
operations SO far nothing more than
the officers had already learned prior
to WhelanS removal from the "hoodOo'
gang, has been discovered regarding
Pretzel-a fact strengthening the be-
lief of his friends that he is innocent.
Positive evidence against two guards
and another official, occupying good
position has been obtained and the only
reason why they have not been dis
charged and prosecuted on felony
charge Is said to be desire to pro
cure better evidence against the only
man known at this time to be con-
nected with the affair.
While l am willing to admit that Mr..
PretZel is known in certain quarters TO
rest under suspicion in this affair be

day, ''let it be understood that we do
not definitely charge him with being
mixed up in the smuggling. However,
with a significant gesture where
there is so much smoke there is bound
to be a little fire, and the public will be
made acquainted with what we have
discovered as soon as we are through
with our Investigations"
When PretZel was made acquainted
with the fact that he had been watched
closely for three weeks on suspicion Of
opium smuggling, he was dumfounded.
IT have never tried to smuggle an
ounce of opium into the prison" he
said land the knowledge that I am
suspected almost takes my breath
away. I was responsible for Warden
Hale obtaining quantities of opium
from the cons on two occasions, and
can hardly see how anybody would
suspect me. Yes, I was surprised when
Whelan was removed from the hoo
doo' gang and no reason given me, but
did not consider it my place to ask why,
If Warden Aguirre did not see fit to
volunteer the information. He has
never sent for me and I was ignorant
entirely of what was going on"

pair of horses, and many people testify
to his having been driven around in
open carriages on the pretext of seeing
the mint and other places of interest
by ladies whose names are familiar in
the upper circles.
But this herO-WOrShip of the stalwart
Matabele had almost run it's course.
The scandal had begun to attract the
attention of the more level-headed
members of society. Disguised, they
started to raise a storm of ridicule
which they hoped would soon end, to
put it very mildly, this very stupid
craze, not anticipating that it would
end so melOdramatically.
On Thursday the bride and bride
groom tried to get married at st.
Matthias Church, Earlscourt but there
was a hitch. The clergyman, it is said,
would not perform the ceremony. He
asked whether Lobengula was a Chris
tian and if he did not have some black
wives already.
1t was all fixed up on Friday, how
ever. in a registry office. and the
strangely matched pair went off for
their honeymoon, en- route, it is said,
and hoped, for South Africa. Society is
truly shocked. It is a lesson. If a saw
age chief ever comes here again for
show purposes ladies will probably be
more chary of drawing all eyes upon
them by making a hero of him, for they
are not likely to forget the Lobengula
romance.

received here from an official source
confirm the report that the Mayo In

Yaquis in the present uprising.
At Huatabampo q plot Of the COM
bined forces of the Mayos and Yaquis

firming the rumors of their participa-
ton in the present struggle.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 12.-Ofhcial dis
patches received here to-day under
date of Term report two severe battles
between the Mexican troops and Yaqut
Indians. One dated the 10th says:
To-day General Lorenzo Torres had
a new encounter with the Indian rebels.
The Federal troops came upon the In
dams near the forest surrounding
Vicain and a sharp engagement follow
ed, in which thirty-seven Indians were
killed, while the Federal loss was but
ten men. The operations continue with
great activity and to-day's victory
gives much encouragement"
A dispatch dated the 18th says: "At
o'clock this morning General Torres
started out, and with the Twelfth Bat
talon and the National Guard Of the
State, came upon the abandoned camp
of the Indians, but, fearing an ambus-
cade, sent out scouts to avoid a sur
prise Soon sharp firing from the In
dians, hidden in the underground, was
experienced and fighting became gen
eral. The enemy fled, leaving seventy
dead on the field. General Torres re-
ceived a slight wound and there were
three killed and thirteen wounded"

GOLD-BEARING QUARTZ
STRUCK AT ATLIN
Two Lucky Prospectors Believe They
Have Found the Districts
Mother Lode.

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 12-The
steamer Tees reached here tonight
from the north with seventy-eight pas
sengers from Dawson, Atlin and other
points on the Yukon. She had about
800, 900 in gold, pretty evenly distribut-
ed among the passengers, none Of hav-
ing large amounts. The DaWsonites
started for the outside on the night of
August 2, and were ten days to the
hour in making the trip. The railway
company is now running three trains
daily and the lake and river steamers
are making close connections, which
accounts for the fast time. 1t is said
the company has purchased the tram
way around White Horse Rapids, to
obtain the right-of-way, and will i'm
mediately extend the road down the
river.
The river steamers Tyren and Angli-
can, both reported total wrecks, have
been fioated and taken to Dawson.
Sergeant Hislett Of the Mounted Police
says all the rough characters are to be
shipped out of the Yukon country be-
fore winter.
Just before the Tees left Skaguay
news was received there of valuable
quartz find, supposed to be the mother
lode Of the Atlin placer deposits. The
find was made by G. A. Anderson and
J. Pearson, prospectors who for weeks
have been out in the Big Horn country.
The lucky miners discovered a ledge of
gold bearing quartz, which was traced
for some distance and which gave such
evidences of richness that they imme-
diately staked the ground and left for
Bennett with samples Of ore. At Carl
/ boo Crossing an assay was made by
Chief Engineer Lewis Of the railway
company, who was so impressed with
the value Of the discovery that he i'm
mediately supplied provisions to the
two prospectors and a party Of his own
men to return at once and locate more
claims.
