Mexican Authorities Take Prompt
Means to Suppress Yaquis.
TIE OUTBREAK WAS EXPECTED
General Torres Wounded and His
Condition Very Critical.
REBELS NUMBER ABOUT 1000

CHICAGO, August "a special to the
Tribune from the City of Mexico says:
The rebel Yaquis forces are now thought
to have been swelIed to 5000 or 1000 men.
Their temporary success has encouraged
Indians from all along the Yaqui river to
flock to their stronghold in the mountains.
The government decided to reinforce Gen.
Lorenzo Torres, and the 18th Infantry sail
ed yesterday from Mazatlan on the govern
ment transport Oaxaca for the mouth of
the Yaqui river, leaving Mazatlan entirely
without a garrison. Gen. Torres now has
his forces, consisting of the 9Th Cavalry
and 18th ard 18th Infantry, modified in
the Yaquf valley and probably will not at
tempt forward movement until he re-
ceives his reinforcement. A regiment from
the interior is also being sent to him.
Up to last accounts the Mayo Indians
were remaining tranquil.
Uprising Was Anticipated.
Ell PASO, Tex, August 5.-A dispatch
from Hermosilio, Mexico, the headquarters
OF the Mexican army operating against the
Yaauis, says:
The Mexican government anticipated the
Indian outbreak, and had been making
heavy shipments of war material into the
state of Sonora for two months On the
other hand, the Yaquis had been prepar-
ing for the conflict for two years.
General Torres, commandant of the
m1tary zone, was wounded in the thigh,
and is now very low.
Inc government will place 10000 men in
the field if necessary. The rebellious Yaquis
now number 1000, and are well armed war
rlors. Sixty Indians were killed in the fight
last Friday and twice that number wounded.
The telegraph wires between Eican and
Potam have been cut by the rebels and
the troops are without communication with
headquarters 1t is authoritatively report
ed that the Indians have slaughtered both
women and children, and that many Amer
lean prospectors in the mountain regions
have been slaughtered

Gang Of Men Tear Up Street Rail-
ways Tracks.
ORDERED DONE BY CITY AUTHORITIES
Company Had Refused to Allow
Street to Be Paved.
EXCITEMENT IN THE CITY

PONTIAC, Mich, August 5.-Tracks of
the Sylvan Lake Street Railway Company,

gang of men from Detroit. The latter are
understood to have been employed by al
dermen and other citizens The streets were
crowded soon after am. by people called
out by continued blowing of steam whis-
ties The cause for indignation against the
company is the fact that the railway COM
pany opposes paving of the street, and has
enjoined the city from proceeding there
with.
One Track Disabled.
The work of demolition continued until the
entire east track was disabled by three
gangs of men working at as many different
points. They were cheered and otherwise
encouraged by more than thousand peo-
pie gathered along Saginaw street.
The excitement was intensified by firing
an old cannon, hauled up and down the
street by crowd of young men. Protesta-
uons of the street railway people were
wholly in vain. Finally the company's at
torney secured from Circuit Judge Smith
what purported to be an Injunction. The
paper was served by the sheriff upon Street
Commissioner Wardell. which caused a
temporary stoppage of tearing up of tracks.
CounSel Tor the city soon learned however,
that what had been intended to be a denial
of application for an injunction was err
roneously made by the clerk into re-
straining order.
Work of Demolition Resumed.
When this was learned the workmen
started anew and soon had the east track
totally disabled. The company is now
operating on one track, with few cars run
ming.
The Sylvan Lake Company's franchise re-
quires it to pave the streets between its
tracks. 1t has, it is understood, refused

tion proceedings is set for next week

THE GOLD OUTPUT.
Estimates of Last Years Product by
Director of the Mint.

The director of the mint is at work COM
piling the figures of the gold production of
the world for the calendar year 1888. The
production of the United States was given
some time ago, and at that time showed
an enormous increase.
The figures now being compiled are SUBJ
ject to revision, but they show that the APP
proximate worth of the gold output of the
world in the year 1898 was S294 ,09o, 600 as
compared with s237, ,505, 900 in 1897 and
S2G2, ,GS2, 900 in 1896. All the leading gold
countries of the world contribute to the
heavy increase, but other countries have
forged ahead of the United States and hold
the record as the richest producers OF the
yellow metal
For fifty years prior to 1897 the United
States was the richest gold country in the
world, Australia coming next. In 1897
Africa pushed this country out of first
place, and in 1898 Australia pushes US out
of second place and makes us third. In
1897 the production of the leading coun-
tries of the world was as follows:
