FouR eArTLEs lN. MEXICO.
Yaquis Lose Heavily Against Govern
ment Troops.


Austin, Tex, March l4.-A special
from Potam, Mex, says that during
the four days ending ON Friday, the
Yaqui Indians and the Mexican troops
had four engagements near Cocorito,
Mex. The Mexican troops are endeav-
oring to force their way through this
section of the country, so as to keep q
roadway between Torin and that point
open for travel. There are a great
many Indians known to be in this Sec
tion, and it is evident that very
strong force will have to be in the field
at once to suppress the uprising. The
engagements of the four days men,
toned are said to be very disastrous for
the Indians, as in the neighborhood of
200 are known to have been killed, and
possibly more. The Mexican soldiers
suffered very little loss of life, though
some 90 soldiers were wounded. All
the engagements were in the nature of
skirmishes lasting only few hours,
when the Indians would retire.
The fact that the Maya Indians have
also taken to the war path and are
harassing the troops great deal, gives
rise to grave surmises as to how long it
will take to bring the uprising to a ter
mination.
A special from Ortiz, state OF Sonora,
Is to the effect that ON Friday reports
reached there of a bloody skirmish be-
tween band of some 800 Yaquis and
about an equal number of soldiers,
about 80 miles west OF that place, in
which the fighting was continued most
of the day. The loss among the SOL
diers was light, owing to their splendid
Notifications, with the Indians in the
open. 1t was clever laid trap into
which the Indians were led, and, while
they left none of their dead on the
field, 1t is thought their loss is heavy,
as quite number were seen to fall.
Reliable information states that fully
$500 Yaquis are now in the neighbor-
hood of Guaymas, and fully as many
more are prowling between Medano
and Potam.

THEATER FRANCAIS BURNS.
Destruction OF n Famous Paris Play
house.


Paris, March 12.-The famous The
Rter Francais has been destroyed by fire.
The fire broke out about noon, but
was not discovered Immediately, and
the theater was burning furiously be-
fore the fire brigade got to work. Even
then the appliances were quite inade-
quate to cope with the conhagration,
and by 1880 p, NJ. the entire building
was roaring furnace. The dense col
umn of smoke arising from the fire at
tracted crowds from all parts of Paris,
the Theater Francais being regarded as
national institution. The theater,
which is the home OF the Comedie Fran
cais, was only reopened fortnight ago,
after having been renovated for the ex-
position throngs expected to visit Paris
during the year.
A rehearsal OF a comedy which was
billed for the matinee had just con-
cluded when the fire broke out. In
deed, two actresses, Madame Dudlay
and Mademoiselle Henryot, were still
on the stage when an electric wire
fused, and, spark catching the seem
cry, the whole stage was soon in flames.
Madame Dudlay had to be rescued in
costume and let down from a window.
M. Sardou, the playwright, arrived on
the scene about l O'Clock, and burst
into tears when he saw the building
was doomed. A part OF the dome col
lapsed at 2:30 P. NJ.
The Theater Francais, or Comedie
Francais, was situated ON the Place du
Theater- Francais, near the Palais
Royal, and occupied the highest rank
among the theaters of France.
The magnificent ceiling, bearing the
allegorical painting by Mazerolle, the
ceiling painting by De Beuff, the
younger, of Truth Enlightening the
World" which adorned the foyer, and
a number of other mural tableaux and
works of art, together with portion of
the invaluable library of manuscript,
perished in the flames. Practically all
the sculpture, however, was saved and
removed to the ministry of finance,
which faces the site of the theater ON
the Rue de Rivoli. The priceless
statute of Voltaire, by Houden, one of
the chief beauties of the foyer, escaped
by being enveloped in q pile of mat.

Butte, Mont, March l4.-Edward
Gilman, of Hamburg, Ia, was tonight
acquitted OF the murder of Dan Sulli-
van. The murder occurred Christmas
night in the wash room OF a miners
boarding house. Sullivan had abused
Gilman the night before. Gilman
armed himself next day, and. going to
the wash room, shot Sullivan, killing
him instantly. The defense was that
Sullivan had made threats against Gill
man, who thought the former was
armed. The verdict was surprise to
both the prosecution and the defense.
A lew minutes after the acquittal, Gill
man. his wife, sister and father, took
carriage and drove for the Great North
ern depot. where they took the express

ConvIct-Made binding irvine.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 12.-Im-
plement men say trouble is about to re-
suit because of the action of the board
of control of the Kansas state peniten-
tiary making binding twine. Kansas
City makes about 100000 pounds Of
twine year, and the new factory at
the state penitentiary is equipped to
turn out about one tenth of this amount.
This is enough to disturb the market.
While regular dealers are asking re-
tail merchants to pay them liz cents
per pound for their offerings. the Kan
sas penitentiary managers announce
they will sell theirs direct to the farmer
at 10 cents per pound, ~ cents less
than the retail dealers can buy it for.

and Ignored Cries for Help.
London, March Alt is now
learned that the British ship Cuvier,
commanded by Captain Quinton, which
was reported Friday last sunk by an
unknown steamer, was run down in the
straits of Dover the morning of the 9th
by steamer whose identity is not
known. The three survivors who were
landed at Calais, France, shortly after
the disaster, say great hole was torn
in the Cuvier, sinking her in less than
five minutes. They further state that
the 80 men comprising the crew were
below at the time and were unable
to reach the decks and man the boats,
so quickly did the vessel go down. and
that the colliding vessel paid no heed
to the cries for assistance shouted to
those on board, and steamed away.
The captain and third mate were
seen to jump from the bridge as their
vessel went down. Two OF the surviv-
ors clung to a capsized boat until
! licked up by the Windsor and taken to
Calais. 1t is believed all the other
members OF the crew Of the Cuvier are

Secretary Reitz Says the Burghers Are
Not Discouraged.
Pretoria, March 2.-Secretary of
State Reitz has issued war bulletins,
in which, after saying the government
has no official tidings of the surrender
of General Cronje, he must accept it as
a fact, however painful, he adds:
"The government remains assured
that the surrender will not discourage
the burghers in the defense of their in
dependence and standing as a nation.
The struggle thus far has shown that
the republics have vindicated them
selves as an independent people. This
reverse will not stagger us. In the
struggle for our cherished rights, our
belief remains that, whatever happens,
the Lord still reigns. Owing to the
invasion of the Free State by large
number of the enemy, and other cir
cumstances, it became necessary to
take up other positions, hence the
burghers in Natal have retired to Big
gersberg. All the commandos have
reached there in safety, except few
who retired in the direction Van Reen-
ems Pass. Thus Ladysmith and Kim
berley are no more besieged. In retir-
ing, the enemy was time after time
driven back, so that our laagers were
not cut off. In these fights few men
were killed or wounded, and the enemy
lost heavily.
'In spite of all reports, the spirit of
the fighting men as to the outcome re-
mains unchanged. Among the COM
mandos in Natal the burghers are full
of courage. General Dewet now COM
mands all the commandos at the Mod.
der river. The president started yes-
terday evening for Bloemfontein, to
visit the laagers of the Free State"

DEATH IN A FIRE TRAP.
Fourteen Persons Perished In a New
ark Tenement.


Newark, N. j., March l4.-Fourteen
persons lost their lives, two persons
were seriously injured and many others
slightly burned IN fire in Newark this
morning. The firemen, after the flames
had been subdued, took 10 bodies from
the ruins, and while they were thus
engaged another victim of the fire died
in the city hospital. One family was
wiped out completely, and of another
only the father lives, and he is in the
city hospital, where it is believed he
will die.
The building in which the fire broke
out was veritable fire trap. 1t was
old, of frame construction, and extend
ed two stories above the ground floor.
Until three or four years ago the struct-
ure had been used as chucrh, but it
was converted into a tenement. The
lower floor, fronting on 80, 81 and 81
Fourteenth avenue, was occupied by
three stores, and the upper portion of
the building was divided into 20 living
rooms. AS nealry as can be learned,
the structure was occupied by 10 fam
lilies, all Italians. Two Of the occu-
pants, Vito Credanza and one other
family, kept boarders, and, though the
total population of the rookery could
not be definitely ascertained during the
excitement attending the fire, there are
said to have been 40 or 80 persons, of
both sexes and all ages, in the build
ing when the fire started.
A few minutes before O'Clock the
people in the building were awakened
by the flames. They found them burn
ing at the foot of the stairs leading
from the first to the second story. The
hallway and stairs were burning,
entirely cutting off the egress from the
upper floors, on which six families
lived. 1t also cut off the escape by the
door for those who lived in the rear part
OF the first floor. Those who could
made for the windows. From these
they leaped or dropped. The whole
n neighborhood was awake in an instant,
and from the burning building came
agonizing screams and calls for help.
From the basement and ground floor
the inmates of the building poured
naked, or almost so. From the upper
stories men and women leaped to the
sidewalk. By the time the fremen
reached the scene the building was
wrapped in flames, and those who had
not escaped were dead or doomed
They must have died within few
minutes, for the fire rushed through
every room in the frail building within
10 minutes.
The search for the bodies began with
In 20 minutes after the alarm sounded,
30 quickly was the fire conquered.
When it became known the fire was OF
incendiary origin, men and women,
well nigh crazed by grief, ran tearing
around the streets looking for the man
who was responsible for the frightful
tragedy and threatening dire vengeance.

BOERS STILL FIGHT
British Came Upon Them Un
expectedly.
WERE LOSSES ON BOTH SIDES
Night, Leaving the Imperial
Forces In Possession.

Driefontein, March l2.-Broad-
woods cavalry brigade, advancing on
Bloemfontein, unexpectedly found the
Beers in strong position in the Drie-
ontein kopjes yesterday. General
Kelly Kenny's division arriving. severe
lighting ensued. The Beers resisted
,tubbornly, but were driven from their
center position, leaving a number of
lead and 40 prisoners. The British
force is moving forward today.
During the fighting, in which five
regiments took part, with artillery, the
Beers, though forced from their center
position, clung tenaciously to the other
kopjes, Smelling the British freely with
;hree guns and two Vickers Maxims.
The British cavalry began to turn the
Boer position, but night fell before the
movement was completed. The Beers
:etiied during the night.
A large number of Australians were.
engaged yesterday. The First Austral-
ian horse brigade, with the Scots Greys,
advanced within 800 yards of the Beers
lnder heavy fire. The New South
Wales mounted infantry joined in the
pursuit of the Beers northward.
Beers stubborn Rear Guard Action.
All of yesterday was occupied in
lighting. The Beers maintained a
stubborn rear guard action along run
ming front of IL miles on very difficult
ground. The British were advancing
in the three columns. General Tucker,
TO the southwark, occupied Petersburg,
1nopposed. General Kelly-Kenny,
after following the river bank, moved
in the direction of Abraham's Kraal.
At Driefontein, about eight miles
south of Abraham's Kraal, the Beers
were found posted in considerable
strength on the ridges connecting sew
eral kopjes, where they had mounted
guns. The action began at 8 in the
morning, with an artillery duel. Cen
eral Porter's brigade supported the
British guns. The Boer artillery was
accurately handled, and the British
cavalry found task harder than they
had expected. General Broadwood
moved six miles southwark trying to
find means to get around, but the
Beers followed, behind rising ground,
and even attempted to outfank him.
Meanwhile, the Sixth division of in
fantry, advancing on the Boer left,
slowly forced the enemy to retire. Had
the infantry been able to move faster.
the Beers would have been enveloped.
The last shot was fired at 7:30 P. M.
This morning not Boer was seen. The
prisoners belonged to President Kruger's
