Fargo, N. D., Aug. ia severe hail
storm swept across the northern part OF
Cass and the southern part of Traill coun-
ties today. Sixty thousand acres OF ripe

Fought with the Yaquis.

Chicago, Aug. ia special from the
City Of Mexico says:
The state troops have had another en-
counter with the Yaquis near Medano, de-
feating them with loss Of several killed.
The state troops did not lose man, but
Lieutenant Francisco Gales died from sun
stroke during the forced march made to
overtake the Indians.
Further details have been received OF
the attack of the sloops Alonda and Luisa
near Medano, when young Aurelio Pare.
dez was killed. The Indians captured
the wife Of the captain of the Alondra
and two boys and took them of with
them. At their first camp they tied UP
and fogged the woman to try to get in
formation of the forces and number ol
men at Medano, and then turned all three
loose in the brush.
The Indians have. retired from Bacun
and are supposed to be in force near Vi
cam.
The death Of Juan Matheldo, of Tetabi
ate, has been confirmed.
The Indians will be shortly attacked
near Vicam.

zelaya's Plans Have Failed.

Managua, Nicaragua, July 25.-Presi-
dent Zelaya's commissioner to Guatemala,
after much effort, failed to negotiate q
treaty with that country and has re-
turned home. The commissioner to Sal
vador was equally unsuccessful.
The commissioner to Honduras, how
ever, succeeded in getting President Sier-
ra to agree to meet President Zelaya at
Amapala, Honduras, or on steamer in
the Gulf Of Fonseca, between San Saliva
dor and Nicaragua for the purpose Of en-
deavoring to formulate treaty as nearly
offensive and defensive as possible. But
the current feeling in the Central Amer
lean states appears to be unfayorable to
President Zelaya. Business is very dull
and the financial condition has not Inn
proved.

Cleveland, Aug. lO-The last company
of militia has left the city, the authorities
having decided there is little probability
of further trouble in connection with the
street car strike.
So far as the strike itself is concerned
there is not the slightest sign that it is
any nearer settlement today than when
it was inaugurated.
As a result of the organized fight
against the boycott by wholesale and re-
tail merchants it is rapidly losing its ef-
fectiveness, and apparently will, in cou'
pie of days, be thing Of the past.

crate all its lines with non-union men, tine
cars in many cases being well filed with
passengers.

Kimball, assistant quartermaster general
of the army, who, during the war, was in
charge Of the New York depot Of the
quartermaster's department which fur
nished most Of the supplies for the army,
has just completed report of the work
done by his Office during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1899. The report says:
From the following statement it will ap-
pear that the enormous sum of $l7,O33,-
43O.57 has been disbursed at this depot

ed States treasury, leaving balance June
30, 1899, of 81, ,24S,O73.45.
In referring to the shipments Of forage,
straw, oats and similar supplies, the plan
adopted of purchasing them at the lowest
market rates is explained as follows:
"Had we undertaken to ask for bids by
newspaper advertisements the very large
quantities asked would have had q
tendency to raise the market price, where
as by obtaining the lowest quotations
quietly we not only secured the lowest
market rates for forage, but also special
rates for shipment by competing lines"
