over the valley. At-fhe top. and about
midway along the remaining half, was
a deep depression with perpendicular
sides like well.
Looking down. into this the guide
pointed out at the bottom two or three
young fledgling con dors friglfing about.
The end of my search was reached, but
how to get ut them? The only thing
for II was 10 climb down, and this l
proceeded to do, depositing my coat,
rife, electra, on the ground. taking only
my climbing staff and q coil OF cord.
Scarcely had reached the bottom, the
young birds tottering out OF my way,
when savage hiss called my attention
to a monster serpent coiled in one cor
ner and ready TO spring. Getting as
far away as possible, near the edge of
the gulf, called TO the guide TO throw
down.my rife.
There was no reply, and with scarce
time for wonder at this l was desper-
ately drawing my revolver when with
rush and adutter a mighty condor
swooped down into the well. Straight
on the reptile II pounced, and In min
ute there was a terrific battle waging
between the wildly sinuous construct
ing coils and the more wildly Tapping
wings. Up into the air and over. the
mountain top the great bird bore its
foe, and yelled Justify to the guide to
despatch them both with the rife. But
again there was no reply. Securing a
pair of the fedgelings and carrying the
end of the cord with me, / hastened
with no little trouble-being unassist-
ed--to regain the level.
The guides silence was now e1-
planned in a most obvious and startling
manner. He had disappeared, and so,
also, hndmy coat, rife, field glass, lunch
pouch. etc. Robbed and deserted, /
found myself alone in the heart of the
mountains with the afternoon well adj
vanced and no clear idea of the road
whittier l would go. And before got
10 the spot where we had left the
horses / knew that / should not find
mine there. Sure enough, 1t was gone,

THE VILLAGE LAUNDRY.

Hickering torch of Indigenous civiliza-
ton that their ancestors kindled. For
it is an indisputable fact that despite
the noble and self-sacrficing efforts of
the Jesuits and other missionary orders,
TO which Prescott has paid one of the
highest tributes in history, four CEN
turies of Christianity have, not ac-
complished for the people of Atahualpa
even so much as for those of Montezu-
ma.
Bearing this in mind, we hold key
to the otherwise inexplicable circum-
stance that whilst in the more impor-
tant centres of population the more or
.hodox forms of modern civilization
and Christian worship prevail, else
where the most startling-but at the
same time neutrality-suspicious.
of savagery and civilization, pagapism
and Christianity, are TO be found so
grated, the one on the other, that II Is
well-nigh impossible TO tell where the
one ends aud the other hegins. All
this was brought very forcibly TO my
mind during a somewhat exciting and
even thrilling, but on the whole, most
interesting adventure in the land of the
Incas n few days ago.
The sun had attained his utmost
southern slope, which means that he
was shedding all of summer that they
ever know into the snowy laps Of the
lofty Andes; and up there, above the
bleak and always gloomily forbidding
wastes of the Peruvian despoblados,
the eternal winter took on as 1t were
tepid, reflected glow from the blaz-
ing furnace heats of the inter-tropical
region that lay several thousands of
feet below the towering chains OF the
cordellemas. The Christmas season
mad arrived, and was on my way from
the Santa Marta mine on the other side
of the eastern chain to spend few days
with the family of our agent In neigh
boring city, he being one of the few
Americans to be found really settled in
that rich but isolated region of the
globe.
Some time prior TO this I had prom
ised friend in the states to secure for
him n pair of young condors, and taxi

crossing the mountains t SO favorable
a season I procured the services of a

mining camp, seemed from his own ac-
count of himself to be just the man for
me. He knew exactly where to find just
what ! wanted, and equipped with the
necessary outfit for climbing TO and Sc
curing my quarry we set forth.
A brisk ride of several hours brought
us well into the heart of the noun
tains, and eventually we came 10
stream skirting one OF the rugged spurs
between which we had been for some
time winding. The country was DESC
late and wild in the extreme, and not
sign of human habitation could be seen.
Yet, on turning an abrupt angle, we
came on several Indian women engaged
in washing. They belonged to village
of the Aymaras that was situated at
no great distance, and were preparing
the christmas wash"-probably the
only washing done during the year,
This was my Incidental introduction to
the singular village and more singular
people among whom It was my destiny
to pass that Christmas eve.
Following the stream little farther
up, the guide intimated that we must
dismount and scale the spur, leaving
the horses at that spot. Suspecting
nothing wrong | complied. An hours

Of the mountains brought us to the

BIoodshed In the Lower Yaqui
River Country.
FEARS FOR MANY PROSPECTORS
Indians Killing Mexioans and
Americans.
The outbrsaK Precipitated Largely by the
Rush to the Country Thrown Open in 1898
by Treaty and the Invasion OF the Land
Set Aside for the Indians.


Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. "A special
from the City of Mexico to the
Tribune says:
News from the lower Yaqui River
country, today, is that rowing bands of
Indians are killing both MeXicans and
Americans. Fears are expressed for
the safety of the large number Of
American prospectors who have been
pouring into the Sierra Madre Noun
tains during the last year.
ION July god, signs Of the present
trouble became apparent, and Chief
Tetabiate, always peaceably inclined,
commanded the tribe to remain quiet,
and ordered five of the principal dis
turbers shot. The Indians fell upon
their chief, and beat him to death
with clubs, and then large band
massacred so soldiers. In the barracks
at Bacum, they slaughtered Carlos
Hale, prominent merchant of Guaya-
mas, after which they went down the
river, numbering and plundering. The
noted frontier general, Lorenzo Torres,
commander Of the military zone Of
Sonora, with only 200 men, marched
from Potan to Bacum, and threw him
self on the assembled Yaqui forces. A
battle was waged for two days, in
which 40 Yaquis and IL soldiers
persisted. The Yaquis were pushed
back towards the mountains and on
the third day, another fight took
place, in which 43 Yaquis and four
chiefs were killed. The Yaquis were
dispersed, and driven farther into the
hills. State troops were gathered from
all over Sonora by Gen. Torral. About
1,500 men in all were mobilized, and
pursued the Yaquis into their noun
tain fastness. The army was Joined
by artillery, which had been rushed
from Chichuahua. The Yaquis took
possession of the peaks of Cuestaalta,
and the latest report is that battle
was fought on July Goth and that the
troops gained advantage. The Indians
have been fighting among themselves
for five days near Dican, large pro-
portion of them before being opposed
to the rising.
1.-THE present outbreak was pre-
cipitated largely by the rush Of
prospectors to the country thrown
open in 1898 by treaty. The Yaquis
were then assigned large stretch of
territory for their exclusive use.
Recently, prospectors were given per-
mission by the government to invade
the domain set aside for the Indians,
and many Americans took advantage
Of the concession.

NOT COMING TO DELAWARE
The Decision TO Send Troops From Fort
Monroe to Battery Point Revoked,
THEY WILL GO FARTHER NORTH
Merritt Has Acceded to the
Request of Wyman.
DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN TRANSPORTS

Associated Press Dispatches by Special Wirea
Washington, Aug. 2. Some difficulty
is being experienced in removing the
troops from Fort Monroe. None of the
steamship companies will take them,
and Just at present no government
transports are available. 1t was in
tended that the troops should be con-
veyed by the Pennsylvania railroads
transport from Fort Monroe to Cape
Charles, and by the Pennsylvania road
to Battery Point, but the Norfolk
authorities have notified the Pennsyl-
vania railroad officials that II the trans
port is used for that purpose she will
net be allowed to enter Norfolk for five
days, which would cut Oft communica-
tion for the railroad between Cape
Charles and Norfolk.
Surgeon General Wyman has made
another vigorous protest against send.
ing the troops to Battery Point and
has earnestly recommended to the War
Department the ACCESSIBILITY of placing
them farther north. The matter has
again been taken up by Gen. Merritt.
1t is stated at the War Department
that the request of Gov. Tyler that q
sufficient number Of United States
troops be retained at Fort Monroe
to act as quarantine guard cannot he
granted, as there is no authority to
use troops for such purpose.
Assistant Surgeon Won Ezdorf, the
New Orleans expert, today reported to
the Marine Hospital Service his ar
rival at Norfolk en- route to Old Point
and Hampton, where he will assist
Drs. Pettus, Wasdin and White. Hos
pital Steward Kolb reported for duty at
Hampton. Acting Assistant Surgeon
Frank Donaldson, an immune, was
ordered to report to DIR. White at
Hampton, to help handle the outbreak
in Phoebus. Surgeon General Wyman
is still detained in Washington, attend
ing to the executive work of the SER
vice, which has been largely increased
by the present excitement. He is not
likely to 60 to the scene of the out
break, unless there is decided change
in the present favorable outlook.
WILL NOT COME TO BATTERY POINT.
Gen. Merritt has acceded to the re.
quest of Surgeon General Wyman, and
the garrison at Fort Monroe will be
sent to some place farther north than
Battery Point. The location has not
yet been fixed.
