chant of HermOsillo and E Miller, a pho
tographer in his employ were among the
killed.
Remley was one of the best known
Americans in Sonora The inhabitants of
the towns in and near the Yaqui valley
are in a state of terror
General Torres, commander of the First
military zone, which includes Sonora Sim
aloa and Lower California, who was in
the field with the Twelfth regiment, is re-
ported among the slain.

of the war ended in 1897, the number may
be placed at between three and four
thousand. This outbreak is a surprise to

1t is impossible to secure accurate flg-
ureS as to the total number killed to date,
but the estimate of fifty each side is
not considered excessive
