DRIVEN OUT BY YAOUIS.
Miners From Sonora Bring n Story of the
Murder of Seven New Workers.


Ell PAso. Tex. Sept. 22.-Peter Burgess and
John Rogers OF Denver Col, arrived here to-
night from the mining claims OF the Qualey
Bros. OF Chicago, on the northeastern branch
OF the Yaqul River. which they have been
working for a year. They were driven out by
the YaQui Indians after being robbed OF every
thing they possessed. Forty Yanuis swooped
down upon them several days ago. and
telling them that neither Mexicans nor
Americans would be longer tolerated in
that part Of Sonora allotted to the Indians. con-
1scated all their property. arms and ammuni-
ton. and ordered them to move on. The In
dams filled up the shaft OF the mine with dirt
and stones. and wrecked all machinery The
Yaqui Chief spoke good Eng ish. and appeared
to be Mexican. All the Indians were armed
with rifles.
The miners say that a few days before the
Indians arrived. three Mexican deserters from
the army came to their camp to procure food
and told them that seven Americans had been
murdered by the Indians on the previous day.
On their way to Casas Grandes. Mexico. whore
they took the train to this place. Burgess and
Rogers met an officer and detachment Of SOL
diers who said they had been sent out to search
for seven Americans from New York who went
into the heart OF the hostile country more than
a month ago. and had not since bsen seen or
heard from. The soldlers visited their mine,
and secured the hills. but failed to ind trace Of
them.

FULL CONFIDENCE IN OTIS.
The President Has No Thought of Super.
sedinR Him.

WASHINGTON. Sept GA high official OF the
War Department made some statements to-day
calculated to remove any doubts In regard to
the attitude Of the Administration toward Gen.
Otis and in reference to the outlook for peace
In the islands. In tho first place. he said he
wished to remove some misapprehensions In
regard to Gep. Otis. That officer. he declared.
has the fullest confidence OF tho Administra-
ton. and there 10 no thought OF supervising
him in command OF the Philippines army al
present.
The statement was made that when Secre-
tary Root entered upon his ofice as executive
head Of the War Department he shared the
opinion that had been expressed by some news
papers and in S, t e the effect that Gen
lieved a change would probably soon have
mace roop, 'fs The Of ses
rotary, Root set to work INDEPENDENTLY
o and he e sh
conclusion that Otis had a strong and intelli.
cnnt Frssp on The situation ,ts, and that he had
Vas largely due e the direct efforts q Gen.
and tact. that the American army was
not reduced at one time last summer
% ss be1s the nsarssn. the s
various parts 81 the island OF Luzon, would
have become threatening or worse: The Sec
complished this by persuading the volunteer
regim ents to remain contsntedy in the service
until regular and other troops from the United
States could be started TO take their places.
The official who made these statements
about Gen. Otis and the conclusions reached
by Secretary Root early in his term OF Office
said that Mr.. Roots conviction regarding Otls's
permanent titness for his position was further
strengthened by confidential reports received
from Generals SchwEn and Young, who had
carefully studied the situation at first hand.
The Official said further that the Adm istrs-
ton had the greatest confidence for the future.
He said II was the belief OF the President and
the Secretary OF War that a single battle with
any considerable force Of the insurgents IN .
favorable situation would bring the rebellion
to close almost as promptly 81 II broke out.
The great decisive blow. he said. would proba.
bly, not be struck until all the troops destined
for the Philippines should reach the islands.
The campaign was carried on for q time. the
official said. with the idea that the revolution
could be put down rather easily aud with COM
paratively little slaughter OF the insurgent
forces 1t was desired to do this II possible.
As soon az the winter campaign opens. he
added. the lighting will be carried on
