CHICAGO. Aug. "a special to The
Tribune from the City of Mexico says
Dispatches from Guayamas show that
the YaQui insurrection is constantly
growing in extent. and all the Indians
in the towns along the river are rising
in arms and taking to the woods and
mountains to join their companions al
ready arrayed against the authorities.
Jack Ramsey, the famous frontier
character. and the American photog-
rapher, were on the way to Alamos
when they were attacked by the In
dams and killed. The sloops on the
Yaquls river, near Medaro. were also
attacked and Aurillo F. Parades, who
was in charge of them, was killed.
The vessels were set on fire bat were
saved by federal forces who drove the
savages away.
The body Of Parades was found float
ing in the river. One of the sloops, the
Alondec, vas again attacked as it was
leaving the mouth of the river on its
way back to Guayamas, but the In,
dians were scattered.
1t is reported that the Romero family
were captured as they were about t.
embark on n of the sloops, and thai
Parades was killed in trying to rescue
them. Troops are pursuing the bands
supposed to have the family. The tele
graph line south from Alamos has beer
cut. The Indians along the Mayo rive,
are quiet and do not seem inclined t.
join the instruction. Colonel Ange
Garcia Pena has telegraphed that Dor
Carlos Hale, the noted merchant, had
not been killed as reported. Oficia

clearly that after General Torres force!
