The insurrection Of the Yaqul Indians
promises to give the Mexican govern
ment another prolonged war. 1t has
been but two years since the last up
rising OF the YaQuls was put down,
after nearly fourteen years Of fighting,
and the rebellion now on has all indl-
cations of preparedness. Contrary to
statements made that the Yaquls would
not molest the American residents in
Sonora-the Yaqul country-there have
already been slain a number Of Amerl-
can gold prospectors. Indeed, II has
developed that one Of the causes of the
uprising was the fact that the gov

into Sonora and dig gold. The Yaquls

in the insurrection now on the Yaquis

is mobllizlng a large army to pit

story of the Y.,quls.
The Indians lnhabit the valley Of
Sonora. They are good agrlculturists
when allowed to till their farms in
peace, and their valley being rich and
fertile has tempted covetous men with
little regard for right to take advan-
tage of the peculiar features of the
Mexican laws in regard to taking up
land and filing claims on the Yaqui
holdings These, of course, under
standing little of law and moved by a
sense of injustice, have resisted the
seizure. and troops have been called
out to enforce the law-that is. put the
new claimant In possession of the
Yaqui land taken under the law. The
Yaquis have stood together and made
good fights after their fashion, and
when compelled to do so retired, only
to return when the troops were with
drawn to take forcible possession of
their own again. In former insurrec-
tions they had but few firearms, but
when the Sonora railroad to Guaymas
was built they furnished a large pro-
portion of the laborers, and with the
money earned Winchester rifles were
purchased, with which they have been
much more formidable antagonists
than before and are more conscious of
their own strength.

Yaquis are pacified or exterminated

When Mexico revolted and establish

TO recognize the new government and
proclaimed their own independence and

authority and law of Mexico has led
to frequent collisions between them

TELEPHONY.
Marconi, the italian Inventor, Dis
cusses Its FeasibiIity-NOt Al
together impossible.

Shortly before leaving London for
America Mr.. Marconi talked with a re-
porter about the possibility of tele-
phoning without wires. Such a thing
is naturally suggested by biography
with Hertzian waves, and it has been
the subject both of vague speculation
and practical experiment for months.
So far as Marconi himself is con-
cerned, the nearest approach to tele-
phonic communication without wires
is the transmission of the sound of an
electric spark, which is a short, sharp
crack or snap. No success has been at
tanned with the human voice. But 1t is
alleged that the sound of the spark has
been heard at a distance of 80 miles very
feebly. With such sounds a ~telegraphic
code could be constructed. But 1t would
be in no way superior to'the other form
of wireless telegraphy-forth that's what
Il really would be. Indeed, it would
not be half SO serviceable. For the
present, therefore, wireless telephony
may be regarded as far from immedi-
ate realization, though not impossible.
The distance covered by Hertzian te-
~legraphy between the South Foreland
and Boulogne is about 30 miles. In GER
tain experiments between the former
station on land and a French naval YES
sci fully AZ miles ~intervened. But this
is not the best achievement by any
means. During the recent British naval
maneuvers Official messages were sent
