Austin, Tex, Feb. 21.-Information
reaching here yesterday from Ortiz,
State of Senoro, Mex, is to the effect
that courier has been dispatched at
ter Gen. Torres and the Mexican forces
who are now supposed to be some fifty
miles or more in the immediate center
of the YaQui Indian country engaging
rowing bands of Indians almost daily.
The cause Of this special messenger is
that information has been received
from a supposedly reliable source that
the main body of the Yaquis, some
1000 strong, are marching onto Quay
amas, Mex, with view Of capturing
that town with all it's supplies. stores
and inhabitants. The Mexican gov
errment has some 300 soldiers there in
charge Of the garrison and the rcgi-
mental supplies, and while the town is
strongly fortified 1t is feared that the
large force of Indians will probe too
much for the soldiers stationed there.

Washington, Feb. 20. - The debate
upon the Porto Iiican tariff bill, which
is to continue throughout the week,
and possibly longer, opened in the
louse yesterday. 1t is generally agreed
that this bill is the most important
measure which will come before this
congress. Interest in the bill is in
tense among the members on both
sides, and there is urgent demand for
time. The Democrats are solidly ar
aged against the measure and they
will have powerful support from the
Republican side in Mccall Of Massa-
chusetts and Littlefield of Maine both
able and forcible debaters. How far
the Republican disaffection will extend
or whether it will cndanger the bill
cannot be forecasted at this time Mr..
Payne, floor leader of the majority, Oh
jected to the taking of a vote on a sub
stitute to be offered by the minority.
This substitute, which has not yet
been framed, will be in substance the
bill originally introduced by Mr.. Payne
providing for free trade with Porto
Rico by the extension Of the customs
and revenue laws Of the United States
over the island. The debate yesterday
lacked exciting features. 1t was in the
nature of long range bombardment
before the clash of the contcnding
forces in battle Mr.. Payne opened
with general argument in support of
the bill going largely into the material
side of the situation, which the bill is
designed to relieve. Mr.. Richardson,
the minority leader, Joined issues on
the power of congress to enact the
proposed legislation, and Mr.. Dalzell
Of Pennsylvania backed up Mr.. Payne
with a constitutional and legal argu-
ment All these were listened to with
close attention.
The Senate.
A simple resolution of inquiry intro
auced in the senate yesterday by Mr..
Hale of Maine precipitated an hours
constitutional debate by some of the
ablest constitutional lawyers in the
body on the authority of congress at
It's present session to extend or with
hold the constitution to territory ac-
quired by the United States. The bill
providing a government for the terri
tory of Hawaii was under considera-

Owing to Macrum's Charges.
London, Feb. 21.-The cable rumors
that Mr.. Choate might be recalled in
order to show the United States gov
ernment's resentment against the treat
ment received by Consul Macrum at
the hands of the British officials are
declared at the United States embassy
to be utterly ridiculous. No action has
yet been taken by the British govern
ment in regard to the allegations made
by Charles L. Macrum, the former
United States consul at Pretoria, nor
has Joseph H. Choate, the United
States ambassador here, received any
instructions to make inquiries in con-
nection with the matter. The British
officials declare that it is extremely i'm
probable that consular letters were
opened at Durham as alleged by Ma
