Troops Being Hurried to Scene Of
Yaqui Uprising.
INDIAN LEADERS ISSUE AN APPEAL
Members of the Tribe Working
in the States Respond.
NOT EXCITED

ST. LOUIS, August 3.-A special to the
Globe Democrat from Nogales, AriZ.. says
The Gatling guns and detachment of ar
tillery soldiers from the City of Mexico, via
Ell Paso have been hurried southwark en-
route to the scene of the Yauui war.
Troops are being marched across the noun
tans from points in the state of Chihuahua
ard Durango to join the forces now in the
field, and other reinfOrcements are rush
ing from al quarters.
1t is reported that emisSaries have been
sent by the YaQui leaders to ranches and
mines all over the state Of Sonora. where
men of the tribe are at work, calling them
to arms with their compatriots already in
the field, and many Yaquis who We're en-
ployed in the big mining camps and on ha
ciendas as laborers have disappeared. Even
in this vicinity, 300 miles distant from the
scene of hostilites, the Yaquis employed
in various kinds of work are in a state of
disquiet, quitting their employment and
going away, and those coming here from
outside points in Arizona, where there
have been many Yaqui laborers, report the
same condition of affairs.
Travel by Night.
They usually travel by night, and small
squads are reported passing through the
town or along the road nearby, all going
in d southeriy direction
Some fears are expressed of a descent
upon the town similar to that of August
1896, when an attacking party took posses
sion of the Mexican custom house in the
early hours of the morning and were dis
lodged only after a severe battle, in which
they leIt nine men dead on the field and
carried away some twenty wounded In
that fight Company G of the Arizona militia
participated, and 1t is from motives of re-
Vehge that the YaQuis now on the war pa tn
have killed the Americans whose deaths
have been reported In the former wars
they nave always respected Americans,
never molesting them
The situation is here considered so grave
that Mayor Overton has communicated to
Governor Murphy request to ask the War
department to send a troop of cavalry from

appeal for peace, it proceeds:
The results Of the conference have tully
come up to the expectations of the govern

conference to postpone a definite settlement
of the complications OF suspending arma-
ment until fully elucidated by the different
governments. Nevertheless, the tightening
of military burdens is already admitted by
unanimous resolution to be urgently desir-
able for all nations.
influence in other Directions.
'On the other hand. the labors of the con-
ference will doubtless exercise influence in
regulating the customs of war and stopping
crueltes. The various states have agreed
to use all their resources in favor of the
maintenance Of peace and the abolition of
war. 1t is now an established fact that
mediation, which hitherto depended on the
good will of the states interested, can
on its own initiative"
The Communiquc concludes: Without
lmpalr1ng the sovereign rights of the in
diVidual states, the results afford a fresh
basis for International peace. The necessi-
ty for solution of the czar's proposals is
admitted by all the powers and the march
of events will indicate the means to be en-
ployed in securing the welfare OF mankind
and the full attainment OF the objr-t Is in
