and IL Prolonged and Bloody
War Expected.

ceived here yesterday from Terrazas,
state of chihuahua, Mexico, which is
located near the scene OF the Yaqni

dians are arranging for a prolonged
war, The special says:
''It is going to take the Mexican
government a long time with a big
force of troops to quell the rebellion
The Yaquis are better prepared now
than ever before for long and a
bloody campaign. They are well fixed
Financially, nearly all of them having
saved the $20OPer head which the Mex
lean government paid them when they
signed the treaty of peace two years
ago. They have been making money
since then. too. and it is known to be
a fact that they have been laying in
big supplies of arms and ammunition
for some time past.
ut has been common talk among
the American prospectors in the Yaqui
valley that the Indians are preparing
for another outbreak, but as the
braves had always shown a friendly
spirit towards the Americans it was
thought they would not molest them
when they did go on the war path.
They are determined to recover all
their lost country, however, and will
kill everybody they find within the
limits of their old possessions"
The special also reported that a
number of miners and ranchmen in

Cir. Wright does not know the cause
of the present trouble, and says the
outbreak came as a surprise to Gen
Torres who, after two years cam.
paign, subdued the Yaquis in May
1897.
AT that time, when the treaty OF
peace was being signed" remarked
Mr.. Wright, Gen. Torres told the
YaGuis that if they ever broke the
treaty and caused more trouble IL
would be taken as a signal for war
and it would be carried on to the
point of determination. as quarter

is now in the field, and ti2at his policy
will be to drive the Indians to the

BOUGHT BY THE PRESIDENT.
The Famous "MckinIey COttaEe''
Once More in the Hands OF
Those Who Love 1t.

Canton, O., Aug. 7.-President Nc
Kinley has purchased the famous NC
Kinley cottage" at the corner of
The deal was closed Saturday. The
consideration was $14,50O. The papers
have passed. He will secure posses
sion of the contract and deed October
next.
The property was not in the market.
1t was endeared to president and Mrs.
Mckinley as their first home, where
they began housekeeping and by tend
er memories of SORROWS there.
The lot is 100 feet front on Market
street, by 244 on Louis avenue.
The front veranda shows the most
wear from the historic campaign Of
1896, when the noted home was the
political Mecca for nearly a million
people.
Before leaving Canton for the inau-
guration President Mckinley tried tC
buy the home made doubly dear 10
him. 1t is not believed that Mrs.
Hartes would have sold the place TO
anyone else.
1t is believed to be the presidents
intention to spend part of each sum-
mer in Canton. The interior of the
house has always been roomy and cool
and comfortable. It is thought possi-
ble that the president may renovate
the house and make improvements.

TIE DaEYFUS TRIAL BEGUN.
VIII Devote Two Days Behind
Closed Doors to Consideration
of the Secret Dossie-.

Rennes, Aug. THE town is ex.
tremely animated, but everywhere per-
feet tranquility prevails. Public inter
est is concentrated upon the arrival
from Paris of various personages like
ly to figure in the trial of Capt. Drey-
fus. Among these are Generals De
Boisdeffre, Cons and Roget, all in
multi. NJ. Godfrey Cavaignac, former
minister of war. and NJ. Casimir-Per1er,
former president of France.
A large crowd which had gathered
around the railway station, greeted
the generals on alighting from the
train with cries of ''Vive L'Armee." !"
The revisionist spectators responded
with ''Vive Ia Republique," but there
was no disturbance of order.
NJ. Casimir-Perier, who was much
: fatigued by the long railway journey.
decided to walk to the hotel. hoping
that he would not be recognized, bit
his identity soon became known and a
large crowd followed him. as, attired
in light suit, he walked slowly along,
chatting with the prefect of police and
the chief of the secret police, NJ. VII
guer, who met him at the railway sta
! ton, and accompanied him to the hoJeI.
The crowd made no demonstration.
The authorities, however, deem it wise
: to maintain the most stringent pre-
! cautions for the safety of the former
president. and six gendarmes now pa
troll the front of the hotel where he
has apartments, while a number of
detectives watch the entrance hall
! closely and scan all arrivals.
The trial will commence this morn
ing. After the Indictment has been
read, it is thought probable the presi-
dent of the court-martial, Col. Juast,
Will order the doors closed for the con-
! sideration of the secret dossier which
will be presented by Gen. Chamein.
The consideration of the dossier, it is
! expected, will occupy two days, so
/ that the next public session will prob

| haps not until Friday. The general
! impression is that the whole proceed
ings will occupy at least three weeks.

RETURNING GOLD HUNTERS.
A Not Very Great Amount of tho
Precious Metal Per Capita-The
New Cape Nome Discoveries.

San Francisco, Aug. 4.-The steamer
Charles Nelson arrived from st. Mich
aels, via Dutch Harbor, yesterday, 13Ia
days from st. N1ichaels. The Nelson
carried III passengers, and the wealth
of her passengers is estimated at about
$150,000. The amount of the treasure
sent down in care of the purser is not
known, but it is generally understood
to be large. A detachment of soldiers
of the Third artillery, U. S. A., ar
rived on the Nelson.
The news from Dawson is not the
most encouraging. Thousands of men
are idle, loafng on every street COR
ner and in every saloon. The govern
ment has already sent many back tc
their former homes.
Cape Nome has the appearance OF
great success. There are many re-
ports and some proof of gold being
found there, but nothing sure as to The
amount.
Among the passengers On the Nelson
was Paul c. Potter. He reports that
there is little known at ST. AIichaels
of the Cape Nome discoveries. lie
said:
THE people at Nome scarcely know
themselves the exact condition of the
gold fields. The discoveries are sc
new that it is folly 10 attempt tc
either boom them or pronounce them
of little value. There are many CON
Trajectory reports from the district.
