Only Few Renegade Indians Said to Be
Engaged in One Locality.
Ell PAso, Tex, Aug. 9.-Reports from
all sources in southwestern Sonora in
dictate that the war with the Yaqui In
dams is confined to the immediate
neighborhood where the trouble started
month ago. The Indians engaged in
the trouble are few and do not number
more than 300.
Among the renegades are those who
attacked the custom house at Nogales.
Sonora, on the Arizona line, two years
ago and were repulsed with the aid of
Americans in the Arizona town of the
same name. The killing of two Amer
leans by renegades near TORN three
weeks ago was in revenge for the part
taken by the Americans in the affair.
CHICAGO, Aug. "a special to the
Record from Guaymas, Mex, says Gen
eral Torres has almost completely sur
rounded Bicam, Yaqui stronghold
where nearly 1000 savages are massed.
On the arrival of the artillery and
machine guns the Mexicans will close in
on the Indians and precipitate the big
gest battle ever fought between the
government and the Yaquis.

Question at Colfax, la.
DIES MONIES, Aug. "a joint debate
between Governor L. M. Shaw and
General j. B. Weaver on the Philippine
question was the feature of the Epworth
league assembly at Colfax yesterday.
The debate attracted an audience of
several thousand persons from the sur
rounding country. Both speakers are
finished orators and presented the ques-
ton in the best possible ightfrom oppo-
site standpoints.
General Weaver attacked in the main
the policy of the government in the
Philippines, claiming it was in conflict
with the constitution, Declaration of
Independence, the Monroe doctrine, the
laws of nations and the holy precepts of
our religion. Governor Shaw upheld
;he Republican administration in every
respect, declaring that he was for a
broader policy and advancement of the
higher and newer civilization which
;onfronts the American people today"

The correspondent of tho Associated

the train for Washington.
"Will the war in the Philippines be

be prosecuted with all possible energy
All the men, all the arms and all the
supplies necessary to end the trouble in
the islandsw be furnished at the earli-
est possible moment"
