Complaint Of American Consul.

COMPLAIN OF AMERICAN SOuNstI
Discreditable stories concerning the
United States consul general at Copen-
hagen, John g. Ingersoll, are published
by the Danish press, and If these are
substantiated his recall will be imper-
alive. He is said to be a hard drinker:
and, when under the influence Of
liquor, is looked upon as dangerous.
Once he assaulted the vice consul,
Jules Blom, and on another occasion
he threatened the editorial staff of one
of the papers with a drawn pistol. The
official complaint against him is, how
ever, based on his conduct in connec-
ton with two thieves turned over to
the Copenhagen police by the Swedish
authorities. One claimed protection as
an American citizen, and Ingersoll de-
manded his instant release, with a de-
elaration Of war as the only alternative
In case Of a refusal.

Chicago, Feb. PA special to the
Chronicle from Pottam, Sonora, Mex,

Chicago, Feb. PA special to the
Chronicle from Pottam, Sonora, Mex,
says:
The Mexican federal troops under
Gen. Torres have saved Guayamas
from the Yaquis, but by dint Of the
aercest fighting OF the war and at a
sacrifice Of 200 soldiers. The town
here is filed with wounded and all the
public buildings are utilized. Torres
anticipated the surprise the Yaquis in
tended. Indians were accompanied
by ten a~dventurers, miners and COW
boys, who acted as commanders of
separate companies of forty men each.
The Yaquis had also a Maxim gun
which had been smugg1ed through at
Bisbee, Arfz., in a load of machinery.
The gun was manipulated, the Next
cans claim, by two ex-rough riders.
Torres reached here Thursday after.
400 and then decided to advance his
army OF 700 men In two divisions. The
first and strongest, thanked by the
sunboat Democratic, left here at day
break Friday morning. No scouts
preceded the force, and the first init,
nation OF the presence of the Yaquis
was a whitening fire from the Maxim
and :of rifle wolleys from concealed
I~Ortif1catiUns in a dence thicket. The
hrst division
Reiterated In Confusion
and was sheltered in the timber
growth along the river. More than
loo men fell at the first fire. The
Democratic then steamed up and
lwept the thickets with her machine
guns, but evidently ineffectively. Her
forward decks were swept and the
protected upper deck peppered with
bullets from the Maxim. Ten sailors
ind First Lieut.. Rambolo Of the army,
were killed. The Democratic drifted
for more than half a mile until a bend
b the river sheltered her. Late in the
afternoon hill signals showed the
waiting commanders Of the first di-
vision that the second detach ment
had reached the neighboring heights
to the southeast in it's flank move
ment. A simultaneous attack was
made from the front and flank and the
Indians retreated. The Maxim gun,
displaced and useless, was brought
into Pottam and sev%enty-three Indians
were found dead. There was no pur-
suit and the Indians must have with
arawn in good order. During the first
tire Of the Yaquis twenty-three Mexi-
IAN federals were driven into the river
In q panic and were drowned. The
Total Mexican loss was 227.

A FIGHT OVER PORK.

s,vedes Want 1t Admitted Free, Bot
Agrarlans Protest.
Seventeen members of the Swedtshs
ciksdag have introduced q bill recon-
mending the abolishing Of the import
duty on pork. They point out the fact
that during the year 1899 the import of
pork exceeded the export by 2O,778,355
pounds, for which an import duty OF
about 100000 has been paid. 1t Is
doubtful, however, whether d. not the
bill will be passed, for the agrarians
will undoubtedly oppose it. The ad-
herents of free trade in the n%eccssaries
Of life assert that it does not pay TO
raise hogs in Sweden, because feed is
too expensive, the duty OH maize, for
Instance. being so high as to be prac-
l;cally prohibitive to it's use for stock.
