THE WAR IN MEXICO
Genera! Torres Makes Detailed Report
 of the Campaign

City of Mexico, July 22.-General Luis Torres, Governor of Sonora and com mander-in-chief of the forces against the Yaquis here, came to this city to make a detailed report of the progress of the cam paign to President Diaz and Minister of War Reyes. From an interview with him it Is gathered that the Yaquis have been pretty we'll scattred and broken up into small bodies, and are not seriously trouble some at present. Several patches of pris- oners have been sent to Guadalajara, Ira puato and other places with the view Of making useful citizens out of them.
 The General has followed strictly the policy of the Government in dealing with them, which is to give them every reason- able inducement to return to their farms or get them employment elsewhere without being any more severe than absolutely necessary. The Yaquis are really very superior people. The large companies op- erating in Sonora say they make the best workmen they have ever had experience with, but there are turbulent spirits among them, and whenever they can get follow ing they are ready to make trouble

GERMAN MARKET
Better Tone Prevailed Than During the
 Previous Week

Berlin, July 22.-Although bourse trans actions last week were of exceptionally small volume, better tone prevailed than during the week previous, due partly to the better American iron market reports and partly to the improved reports from the international campaign in China, the view taken of the Chinese situation and the unusual tightness of the money mar ket. The feature of the week was the rise in coal shares through the continued ex- icellent reports from mining centers Nevertheless they relapsed yesterday upon the publication of the July return of three of the principal companies, which are not wholly satisfactory. Iron shares gained moderately, but they also fell off yesterday upon the receipt of reports of the diminu- tion of new orders for iron goods and the rumors that the Americans will combine to force iron exports, in reference to which some fears are expressed for Germany's business.
 The coal situation is rema rkably strong the scarcity being still unrelieved. The state railways and naval and merchant vessels are embarrassed for want of coal.

CADETS PUNISHED
They w ere Not Given Supper and Stood
 at Attention

West Point, N. Y, July A,-Trouble growing out of the punishment of Cadet Buker for hazing Cadet Norris has result ed in severe deciplinary measures being taken by the commandant.
 As a means of punishment for disrespect to Lieutenant Lindsay the officer in charge, the cadets were deprived of their supper last night after having taken their accustom seats at the table. They were also promptly marched back to camp and required to stand at attention for half an hour. This was followed by order from the commandant that the entire corps con- slider themselves under arrest and they he confined to the limits of the camp for an indefinite period. There was no hope last night and there will be none hereafter un- til the order is rescinded.
