PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3.-The inter-

the shipping of twenty-one cases OF arms,
intended for Santo Domingo revolutionists,
from Philadelphia by way of Haiti. No
active measures were taken, but the Santo
Domingo negroes, who were here ia the

which it was intended should be shipped
secretly, are stored in the warehouse Of

The first attempt to ship the arms was

ORTIZ. State Of Sonora. Mex, Dec. s.
Marshall Terhune. a prominent American
mining engineer, who has been in the
Yaqui Indian country for the past few
weeks, examining mining properties for
California parties, has arrived here. He
states that he met a number OF Yaqui
Indians during his trip. and that he was
not disturbed by any OF them. He was
warned by friendly Indians not to take
his Mexican helpers into the turbulent
country or they would be killed He
thereupon discharged his servants and
made the remainder OF the journey alone.
He saws that the Mexican troops under
General Torres, and large force of IN
dians have had a number Of desperate
engagements during the past two weeks.
The first severe fighting began on No
vember Is, about midway between Cocori
and Rio Chico. The battle lasted almost
continuously for two days. The Yaquis'
children were captured by the Mexican
troops. The Government forces had five
killed and twenty-three wounded. On the
second night the Indians withdrew in the
darkness toward Rio Chico. They am
bushed a detachment of troops on the fol-
lowing day, killing one soldier and wound
ing five others The Indians claim that
number Of their wounded braves fell into
the hands of General Torres men and
were put TO death. The women and chill
dren captured by the Mexican forces are
being brought here By an armed escort
They will be sent from here to Guaymas,
where they will be placed in charge OF

PROTESTANT TURNS CATHOLIC.
The Rev. DIR. De Costa Received Into

The Rev. DIR. De Costa Received Into
the Roman Church.
NEW YORK, Dec 3.-For a long time It
has been predicted that the Rev Dr. De
Costa. who resigned the Protestant Epis-
copaI ministry in September last and after
ward gave up altogether his membership
in that Church, would enter the Roman
Catholic Church This has row actually
taken place. Today at 5 O'Clock he was
formally received into that communion at
the Academy of the Sacred Heart, 40 West
Seventeenth Street. The occasion was pri-
vate, and only a few Catholic and Prot
estant friends were present.
Dr. De Costa declined 70 talk with re-
porters afterward. He has prepared for
publication a statement in justification OF
his course. in which he takes strong ground
on the Bible question. holding that the Ro-
man Catholic Church Is the true Bible
Church and alone capable Of protecting and
teaching the Scriptures in their entirety
and integrity DR.. De Costa holds that the
Church of Rome alone offers the true basis
for the unifcatiOn OF Christendom and is
the only system that can meet the al
vanced science and the intelligence of the
age. The Roman Church is the church Of
the future.
Dr. De Costa began the struggle against
what he considered the Protestant Episcopal
Church heresy many years ago, in connec-
tion with the Heber Newton case, framing
and signing a presentmeut in connection
with the late Prof. Buell., Of the General
Theological Seminary. and the Rev. DR.. Nc
Kim, now OF Washington. DR.. De Costa is
married and not eligible to priesthood. He
has no ecclesiastical prospects. He has de-
clared his intention to return to literature,
which long oecupied his attention.

Congress really ought to do something
in the direction Of acquiring permanent
homes for our embassies and legations in
Europe. Ambassador White has had his
residence in Berlin sold over his head, and
has with difficulty secured permission to
occupy its top fiat to the end Of Mr.. Nc
Kinley's present term. Our Minister to
Austria Is having worse time. Because
his predecessor had trouble with his land
lord and Is said to have refused to pay his
rent, no one Will lease a house to Minister
Harris, or extend any credit to him or the
members of the legation. Surely the time
has come for the Government to put an
end to such conditions by buying property
and erecting suitable buildings.

resolutions were adopted protesting

any movement looking to an alliance and
instructing them to cause impeachment
proceedings to be instituted in case action
in the direction OF the suggested alliance

Possibly the current week may prove as
lively in the diplomatic as in the military
world. It is asserted in Europe that the
visit of the French Admiral Fournier to
the Sultan means notice to that ruler that
France intends at once to take possession
of Beirut and two other Syrian ports.
Should such a design be carried out the
defiance to England would be direct and

story, which is said to find considerable
