doubt that the Yaquis are on the wal

when the news reached here that sew
eral Americans and Mexicans were
killed in the pueblos or towns in the

of this station
A courier who came in with news OF
the slaughter declares he saw a desper-
ale fight at apoint forty miles south
east of Ortiz and has positive evidence
that ]. F. Remley, merchant of Her

were killed.
Remley was one of the best known

General Torres, commander of the
military, who was In the field With the
Twelfth regiment, is reported among
the slain. No Information is obtain
able as yet as to the number of fighting
Indians under arms. but If the out
break is of the proportions of the war
ended in 1897, the number may be
placed between three and four thou

Messrs. K. l.. Iamblin and W. E.
OLeary have returned, from pleasant
outing at Harvey's ranch. Last Fri
day was evidently good day for fish,
as Mr.. O'Leary is credited with having
caught 2O6 trout on that day and date.
There is no doubt that fishing on the
headwaters of the Galiinas is much bet
ter than for years past. - .+tt4
ave had had trout every day In the
week. said Mr.. Hamblin today, land l
finally got so tired of the eating that l
couldn't eat any more. The fishing is
unusually good this year and the fish
plentiful
"How do you account fer that fact "
he was asked.
"Well, it is probably because the
streams have been given rest for the
past two or three years. Occasionally
some one went, out on a fishing excur-
sion but the streams were really neg
lected. During that time also there
has been little or no flood water. so
that The fish spawn had a chance to
hatch out. Whatever the cause may
be, fish are unusually plentiful this
year and fishing promises to be good
during the entire season."

A Missionary From Utah.


Walter Cluff of Provo City, Utah, is
in Las Vegas, representing the Latter
Day Saints or so called Mormon church
and will hold public services Sunday
evening at o'clock in the hall of the
Junior Order on Sixth street. He dis
cusses church matters intelligentIy but
may not find Las Vegas a very rich
field for his missionary exertions. Mr.,
Cluff denies that his church is again
taking up polygamy as tenet, although
he says that the Bible teaches the doc
trine of plurality of wives. The pres
ent agitation on the subject, he says,
has been fomented by the newspapers
and that IL the older members of the
church who embraced polygamy before
the enactment of the Edmund's law
were left alone the practice would
cease 10 exist entirely. He disclaimed
any knowledge of new polygamus re.
lati0ns being entered into by members
of his church.

Yellow Fever Situation at Hamp-

couraeine.
ORIGIN is NOT DISCOVERED
Immune Surgeons and Nurses
Called For-Battery Point
0bjectedT To.

WASHINGTON, August 1-The mar.
inc hospital service up to ontoday
received nothing from the center of the
yellow feyerinfection at Hampton later
than DR.. Wasdin's report last night,
placing the total yellow fever outbreak
at thirty-seven cases and seven deaths
DIR. Farquhar at Portsmouth report
ed this morning that he was in close
touch with the authorities at Ports
mouth and Berkeley and all is quiet
with no suspected cases. The situa-
tion is. regarded favorable to day.
There has been 10 outbreak of fever
outside of the original quarantine line.
Each day that passes without such de-
velopment increases the confidence of
the surgeon general that the fever will
be confined to the original focus of in:
fection.
The usual period of incubation of the
disease is from three to five days, al
though it has extended to eleven days.
The time since the first outbreak is now
almost mp to the usual quarantine
limit.
Objections have already been raised
to the determination OF The government
to send the garrison at Fort Monroe to
battery Point, Delaware. Surgeon
General Wyman called the attention of
the war department to the fact that it
is not far enough north to take the gar
rison which possibly may have yellow
fever infection. 1t would be danger
GUS, he says, to the troops and people in
the vicinity.
AT the war department, it is said the
whole matter has been turned oyer to
General Merritt.
Surgeon General Sternberg this after
noon received the following telegram
from Surgeon V.ckery in charge at the
National soldiers Home at Hampton,
Va, the scene of the yellow fever epi-
demic:
"Our epidemicis not extending; in
the last day two cases and one death.
Origin not discovered. Do You know
If we can get immune surgeons and
nurses?'
Surgeon General Sternberg has re-
Pponded to Surgeon VIckery's question
In the affirmative and will furnish him
list of surgeons and
nurses who may be employed by him,
for lEs sdrgeon is without authority to |
pay for them out of bis own appropria-

KICKING CAMPBELL.
Talk OF an Arizona Fire Eater Who Enlist
cd in the Thirty-Fourth.

Monday mornings Denver News has
lengthy article based on alleged dis
satisfaction already existing among the
recruits Of the Thirty-fourth regiment
at FIT. Logan. The spokesman who
figures in the article in question is John
4. Campbell, formerly second duty ser
Egeant of B troop of the Rough Riders,
and now recruit of + company of the
Thirty fourth. lie enlisted from Phoe-
nix, Ariz., and in addition to his service
in Cuba was in the regular army previ-
GUS to that for term of five years.
Campbell is quoted as saying:
"This regiment is being recruited and
organized for garrison duty and for
nothing MORE" Campbell said yester-
day. "Ilow do / know? Any soldier
could tell you why. We know it by the
way the regiment is being organized.
We are not being got together ike they
organize lighting regiment. They are
giving too much attention to teaching
the new men garrison duty, All our
time is given TO learning how to look
after post. Why, we ought to be
under canvas in camp right now. A
lot of these fellows recruiting in Min
nesota and other states east of here
don't know what it is to sleep in the
open air and yet here they are keeping
them in barracks. tell you this is not
going to be lighting regiment, an as
| enlisted to tight I'm going to get
transferred to the Eleventh cavalry.
I'm fixed SO | can do that, but l am
going to see to it that NO more of the
Arizona boys get tooled.'
The statement is made in the News
article that number of letters have
been written to New Mexico and Ari-
zona points, expressive of this dissatls-
faction.
THE OPTIC has nothing official on
his point, merely an opinion, but this
opinion is to the effect that Mr.. Camp
,eil is kicking prematnrely. The
,hances are that he will getSall the fire
,ating that he is able to digest even be-
ore his term of enlistment expires.
rhe Thirty-fourth will see active SER
vice and plenty of it.
us unreasonable to expect that a
regiment with only one-third of its re-
quired strength is performing any more
than perfunctory work. When the
ranks are full, it can safely be predicted,
a change will come over Campbell's
dreams. BY that time he will thorough;
ly have learned, a second time, the duties
attending garrison life and be ready to
spread his wings for loftier flights.
