to the West Thirty-seventh street sta
ton. He was informed that he was

woman, the police say, would spend
several hours in each others company

his coat sleeves and cuffs were found

Mexican Cavalry on the Way TO the
Scene Of the Trouble
With Intention Of Driving the Warning
Braves From Their StronghoIds.
Believed That the Redskins Have
Laid Trap by Which the
Troop. Will be Led Into an
Ambuscade.

CHICAGO, Aug. IA special to the
Record" from Austin, Tex, says:
A dispatch was received here to-
night from Casa Grande, State of
Chihuahua, Mexico, saying that one
regiment of Mexican cavalry had just
left there and started on it's way to
the upper waters of the Yaqui River,
in the State of Sonora, and that 1t Is
the evident intention of these troops
to enter the Yaqui Indian country from
the north and drive the warning braves
out of their stronghold in the Sabuari-
ha Mountains, where they are rapidly
gathering in large force.
One body of rebellious Indians have
fortified themselves in the Bacatete
Mountains, between the Yaqui ana
Matapo Rivers, and an effort is to be
made to keep the two forces OF war
riors apart. 1t is known, however,
that the two divisions are in constant
communication by means of couriers,
and it is feared the Indians are PLAN
ming to draw the Mexican soldiers into
an ambuscade.
Two more parties of American pros
pectors have just arrived at Casa
Grande. They have a rich placer min
ing camp near the junction of, the
Paphigochic and Bataphio Rivers,
which they abandoned upon hearing
the reports of murder and terrible out
RACES committed by rowing bands or
Yaquis at points below them.
Captain Martin Ross, an old Arizona
prospector, is a member of one of these
parties. He was one of the first pros
pectOrs to enter the YaQui country
after it was made safe to gold hunt
ers He says the Indians are undoubt-
eddy we'll prepared for long and Bit
ter resistance. He believes the ma
jority of American prospectors will
hear of the uprising in time to escape,
if they will only heed the first warning
that reaches them. Any delay IN
breaking camp may mean their death.
Captain Ross also says there are not
as many prospectors along the Yaqui
River as is generally supposed. Sew
eral thousand went into the new coun-
try during the last two years, but the
majority of them We're disappointed in
their search for gold, and got out as
quickly as they could. He estimates
that there are not over 500 Americans
in the whole district
There is only one extensive mining
plant within easy reach of the In
dians 1t is in the vicinity of the
Baroyeca, and is owned by California

CLEVELAND STRIKE.
The Civil Authorities Left to Cope
With any Disturbance.

CLEVELAND (O.), Aug. For the
first time in over two weeks, the city
tonight was practically without mill
tary protection. All Of the troops were
relieved from guard duty. Two COM

relieved from duty entirely. The other

A BOY HERO.
The Pittsburgh Youth Who Fought
MT Manila and Met Adj
mirnl Dewey.

One of the heroes of the battle of
Manila is a 13-year-old boy, who is
popularity called Boots" by his COM
rades. Boots" lately returned on'tlle
transport City of Para, and has had the
distinction of having had personal in
terview with Admiral Dewey, who gave
him free trip to Hong-Kong on tue
Olympia because of his services in tho
siege of Malate and the fight before
Manila. He is the boy who came from
Pittsburgh with the regiment. The
men struggled him aboard the trans
port, but he had hard luck, as he fell
down the hatchway on the third day
out and broke his arm. He was all
right when Manila was reached, and IN
the trenches before Malate he carried
water and ammunition and paid no at
tention to the bullets. AS he said:
'sThere was no chance to dodge 'em,
they came so quick" He was among
the first to enter Manila with cap
tured Spanish rifle, which he brings
back with him. On August 10 he
learned that the Olympia was to go TO
Hong-Kong, so he determined to make
the trip. He boarded the ship and
asked to be shown to the admiral's
cabin. Dewey was sitting at table
with the captain of the ship.
Boots" said: II salutes and says:
Admiral, want to go to Hong Kong
and he says, pleasant like: Well, my
boy, you come aboard and we'll take
YOU"
He was 10 days on the Olympia.
When he got back to Manila Col. Haw-
kins feared that he might catch the
fever, SO he sent the boy to New York
on the transport.

LoATHED CIDER.
Two knights of the Road Who Had

A farmer named L. C. Hamer, who
makes frequent trips to this city

Mount Repose, o., little settlement
just north of Madisonville, is RESPONSE
BILE for the following STORY: He was
driving toward the city the other morn

he met two specimens of the hobo va
riety trudging along the pike. They
stopped before his wagon, one politely
lifted his hat and asked:
"What's the nearest town."
mount Repose," answered the
farmer.
ssAh! sweet name!" answered the
tramp. II think we'll just stop for the
rest of our lives when we reach there
Couldst proffer us drink from one Of
the barrels?"
The farmer Immediately drew quart
cup full of cider and offered it to the
pair. They drank it, each made wry
face, and the one of grandiloquent
speech, who must have at some time
been a member of variety troupe,
drew himself up and said:
"Dost know that thou hast insulted
us in offering cider? We have holy
cider"
"Why?" asked the farmer.
Because" answered the tramp, with
a farewell wave of the hand. Because
it works."
