YaQuiS on the War Path.

st. Louis, Aug. IA special to the
Globe-Democrat from Ortiz, Mex, says:
Any doubt that the YaQuis are on the
Warpath in earnest was dl1peled today
when news reached here that several
Mexicans and Americans had been kill
ed in DueblOs or towns, IN the Yaqui
river, east and southeast of this station
The courier who came in with the news of
the slaughter, declares that he saw des-
perate fight at point 40 miles south of
Ortiz, and that he has positive evidence
that j. f. Remly, a merchant of Hermo-
s.llo, and E. Miller, photographer in his
employ, were among the killed. Remly
was one of the best known Americans in
Sonora. The inha bitants of the towns in
and near the Yaqui valley are in state
of terror. General Torres, commander of
the first military zone. which includes
Sonora, Sinaloa and lower California,
who was in the field with rne12th regi-
ment, is reported among the slain. No
information is obtainable as yet of the
number of fighting Indians who are un-
der arms, but it is believed that the out
break is of the proportions Of the war of
1888, and may number 1000. It is be-
lieved that the outbreak is a surprise to
the state and army officers. 1t is impos-
sible to secure any figures as to the total
number killed to date, but the estimate
of so on each side is not considered eX-

At the Preside.

San Francisco, Aug. 1.-Out at the Pre-
sidio, where the returned Nebraska, Utah
and Oregon regiments are camped, every
thing is assuming a soldierly appearance.
The Nebraska and Utah boys are settling
down to the discipline of camp life,
guards have been placed, and by tonight
everything will be in perfect military or
der. There is an air Of suppressed ex-
citement about the camp. Visitors crowd
the camp and parade grounds to view the
returned veterans, friends are seeking IA
miliar faces in the ranks, and old friend
ships are being revived. While it is pro-
posed to keep the men under perfect con-
troll at all times, they will be allowed all
possible freedom, and what restraint is
placed upon them will only be for the
preservation of order and discipline. To-
night second large body of soldiers will
visit one of the local theaters, the first
section being granted that privilege last
night.

Will Welcome Dewey.

Herald from Washington says: Secretary
Long says that it is not the intention Of
the department to order the north At
lantc squadron to cross the Atlantic and
escort Admiral Dewey back to his native
land. While the subject has been dis
cussed at various times. it is not deemed
necessary to send the fleet to Europe, but
it is intended that the navy, represented
by the north Atlantic squadron, shall
take the modest part in the ceremonies
attending his homecoming. 1t is the
present intention to have the fleet at
Hampton Roads or in the vicinity OF
New York harbor to give the admiral
nautical greeting.

No IngerSoll Will.

New York, Aug. IA man who IS
closely connected with the late Col. Rob-
ert G. Ingersolls family, says that no will
of Colonel Ingersoll has been found, and
that nobody who knew the colonel
thought there was one.
''The colonel did not believe in Wills"
he said. "All who knew him we'll have
heard him say so frequently. HIS theory
was that mans estate should be settled
and distributed by the machinery of the
law constructed for that purpose"
"Do you know whether he ever ex-
pressed any wish about the disposition
Of his estate?"
"No. 1t is very improbable that he did.
I don't think he ever thought much about
that subject. He considered the law fair,
and was willing to trust to it."
AS to what Colonel Ingersoll left. the
man said he did not believe anybody
knew yet He thought it extremely un-
likely that the family had made any in

chart of the Russian possessions. He is
of the belief that the duplicates of the
charts are on file at st. Petersburg. Zach
art says that an expedition would have
little trouble in finding and following up
this boundary line Of monuments, and
that the charts would prove of inestima-
Bile value of settling the dispute between

oak costs SIS more per 1000 than it did
Spruce and pine have also advanced,
though not 50 materially as hard woods.
Local dealers do not attribute these ad-

they say that the saw mills are unable
to fill their orders, which are heavy on
account of the demand for cars, vessels
and trucks to handle the increased busi-
