HARAssING THE MEMcANs.
Yaqui Indians Holding Their Own Against
Government Forces.


ORTIZ, Mex, Jan. 12.-Small bands
of Yaqui Indians have become very an
noying to the. Mexican troops during
the last few days and frequent skirm-
ishes have occurred. A few nights ago
100 Indians boldly rode into the corral
and stampeded over 200 horses belong
ing to the troops. The Indians after
ward captured the animals for their
own use. It is almost impossible to get
supplies to the troops, owing to the
Yaquis' guerilla tactics. General Tor
res men are living on the country and
there are times when they must suffer
severely for lack of food. Americans
who have come from the Yaqui country
say the troops have made no headway
toward putting down the rebellion.

Great Britain Authorizes the Use by Sol
diers of the Expanding Bullet.
q LONDON, Jan. 12.-Lee- Metford cart
ridges are running short in the British
magazines, and according to semioffi-
cial report the war office purposes to
fall back temporarily on 100000 .Mark
~" expanding bullets, many of which
are in store in South Africa. The war
Office had issued strict order to the
volunteers that the SO rounds of "Mark
~" given them must be used in prac-
tice at home, none being taken to South
Africa.
After the public announcement that
no such bullets would be used in this
war, its employment, the Daily Chron-
icle thinks, would be serious breach
\ OF faith. especially as the British COM
manders have complained that the Beers
ccasionally use such projectiles.
The newspapers were reconciled dur
ing the early days of the war to cable
censorship, taking it for granted that
advices BY mail would supply the de-
ficiencies. But for some weeks the mail
correspondence received in London has
shown scissoring by the censor. The
editors, acting possibly in concert, are
laying these facts before the public and
insisting that they be permitted to
know and to print the facts i5
Military experts, in the absence of
reportorial or official news from the
front, conclude that not much is to be
expected of the British hosts in South
Africa until Lord Roberts shall have
had plenty of time to think and fresh
levies shall have arrived. Time is work
ing now for the Beers. Each day makes
more difficult the three beleagured posi-
tions.
The theory is now advanced that the
seizure of the German mail steamers
were made on purposely misleading in
formation supplied to British agents,
the desire being to embroil Great Brit
ain and Germany in quarrel.

ALLIES WIN SECOND BATTLE.
Yang Tsun Captured after Severe En-
gagement-AmerIcan Loss 60

Yesterday, General Chaffee reported
the second engagement of the allied
forces in their march to Peking, at
Yang in which the casualties
to the Americans numbered sixty.
Prostrations from heat were also
numerous. The receipt of the dis
patch from General Chaffee has given
decidedly optimistic color in Wash
ington, as to the Chinese situation.
1t is believed that the allied army
will reach Peking without any further
determined opposition from the
Chinese. 1t has been fully expected
that the Chinese would make strenu-
GUS fight at Yang tsun.
The capture of Yam tsun, which
was one of the most important towns
between Tien Tsin and Peking, is
regarded as remarkable, coming so
soon after the sharp battle of Peit-
sang The latter battle was fought
on Sunday, the 9th, and twenty four
hours later, on Monday, the 9th. Yang
tsun was captured. This involved
the routing of the Chinese army from
Peit-sang, its pursuit and the engage
ment of the Chinese forces at
Yang g-tsun, twelve miles away, the
two engagements only covering
two days. 1t is not believed that the
allies will meet with further serious
opposition until Peking is reached
The policy Of this government is
distinctly understood and includes at
present only the safety and protection
of Minister Conger and the Americans
in Peking. If the minister and people
of the allies, with other Americans in
Peking, can be gotten out OF that city
without harm and placed under the
protection of the United States flag
on board a warship, the purpose of
having the United States soldiers in
China will have been accomplished.
Unless some unlocked for complica-
tions should arise this government
would then withdraw her troops If
there was semblance OF the Chinese
government left in Peking that
government would be charged with
the settlement of the question of
damages by the usual diplomat Ume-
thods. President Mckinley wiHnot go
to Washington until the latter part of
next week and the rumors that. the
situation is growing more war-like
and that an extra session of Congress
is demanded are not warranted On
the contrary, the opinion everywhere
expressed today among Administration
officials is to tho effect that an early
and peaceful solution of the difficult
ties are promised.

CROP CONDITIONS.
Report From the Central Office OF
the State Experiment Station.

Report From the Central Office of
the State Experiment Station.
The recent rains were we'll distri-
buted and sufficient for crop needs,
except in portion of Cape May,
Cumberland and Gloucester coun-
ties, where it was light and INSULT
cient. Garden truck, field corn,
melons and pasture lands have suffered
serious injury from the long absence
of rain. In remaining portions all
crops are in very promising condi-
tion; corn has obtained good growth
and is caring well; orchard fruit,
except apples, which are still dropping,
are in fine maturing Condition and
grapes are very promising. The oat
harvest has been completed in the
northern section and the fall
plowing has begun. The cranberry
growers in Ocean county report that
the berries are in good condition and
the outlook is favorable for a large
yield.
A general soaking rain would be of
incaloulable benefit to meadows, pas
lures and orchard fruit.
