YA0UIS' AWFUL SLAUGHTER.
Defeated With Loss of 200 Killed and
500 Captured.

Nogales. Ariz., Jan. 21.-An official des-
patch received in Nogales late yesterday
states that the battle between General
Torres troops and the Yaquis, which WAS
fought on the 18th instant, was the
fiercest engagement that has taken place
during the war with the Indians, who
have been concentrating near the village
of Mazaba, on the Yaqui river, during
the past week, and have been throwing
up intrenchments during that time.
On the night of the 18th General Torres
made maneuver and completely sur,
rounded them. At daylight the fighting
commenced and lasted until evening
Over 200 Yaquis were killed and over 5OC
taken prisoners. The Mexican losses
have not yet been reported, but on &C
count of the long and persistent fight it il
thought that the victory cost many killec
and wounded.
A report is current here that during
the engagement the Mexicans capturet
the Yaqui chief, Tetabite and promptly
shot him. This chief was the most feared
and most powerful leader of the Indians
and bis death will probably bring an enc
to the rebellion.
New recruits have arrived at the seem
of hostiIilies from Mazatlan and Genera
Torres will follow up his victory of Thur
day until the rebellion is ended, or th'
last Yaqui exterminated.

Report That Lord DundOnald Has En-

RUMORS OF BULLER'S DEFEAT.
Dispatch From Berlin Creates COnSterua-
ton in London, Though Nothing Tend
ing TO Confirm 1t Has Yet Been
Received From Any official

London, Jan. 23.-While London is
filed with all sorts of wild rumors, official
news from the scene of hostilities Is at a
premium.
Field Marshal Lord Roberts reports
from Capetown that the situation remains
practically unchanged. Nothing from
General Butler had been given out by the
war Office at midnight.
One of the many rumors IN circulation
is a report current on the stock exchange
that two battalions Of British troops have
been captured by the Beers. This report
is discredited by the war office. The war
office also discredits the rumor published
in the United States to the effect that
Lord Dundonald, with 1900 men, had en-
tered Ladysmith.
CONSERVATION was created throughout
the city tonight by the receipt of a dis
patch from Berlin saying that it was per-
sistently rumored on the Bourse that Gen.
eral Sir Redvers Butler had sustained q
crushing defeat. Nothing which tends
to confirm this report has been received
from any official source.
Adyices to the morning papers, which
emanate from correspondents at the
Beers head lager at Ladysmith, say that
a battle has been raging since Saturday
between the Beers under Pretorous anC
six thousand British. Elsewhere the
British are only making reconnaissance q
the 3oer positions.

Converted Infidel Burns His Library OF
Fine Books.

Toledo, Jan. 22.-Marshal o. Waggoner,
the jnfidel whose conversion to Christiani-
ty was recently announced, has burned his
magnificent library, consisting of writings
of infdels. The ashes of these books rest
in the bottom of the furnace of the Me-
moral United Brethren church OF thus
city, to which he privately consigned
them. Mr.. Waggoner threatened to des-
troy this collection some time ago, but de-
layed doing so until the night of Jan. ..
Many of the volumes were exceedingly
rare. There was large number OF manu-
scripts and first prints not to be found IN
any other library in America.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

Bryan is not likely to sing: "May-
land, my Maryland"
Wouldn't Tommy Martin suit for the
craftsmanship of The national Democratic
party? He is about the proper size for
that much shrunken position.
The Southern Democratic Congressman
seem to he sympathizng largely with the
Beers in their war against England. They
are repaying Englishmen for their sympa-
thy for the Confederacy, and England
for its sympathy for the United States
while at war with Spain.
A Washington correspondent Of the
Roanoke World in speaking Of the Walk
er-Rhea contest says: "There is consid-
erable difference of opinion among Vir'
ginia Republicans regarding the case OF
General Walker, many Of the staunchest
Republicans in bis district having opposed
his election, and they now claim that he
was squarely and honestly defeated"
This is false in every particular. There
was not a Republican of integrity and in
fluence IN this district that opposed Gen.
eral Walker. The few renegades, less
than fourth of dozen, who are trying
to make the outside world believe that
General Walker was defeated by the hos
tility of true Republicans are miserable
f4lsifers. Their untruthfulness is pioven
by the fact that General Walker got 430
more votes in the district in 1898 than he
did in 1896. In 1896 these so.called
staunch Republicans claim to have sup
ported General Walker II they did, the
withdrawal of their support seems to have
strengthened General Walker rather than
weakened him. These renegades are
not recognised in the Ninth District as
Republicans. They would BE- Kissed out
of any Republican meeting they would
try to enter.
Hon. ]. Sterling Morton, Secretary of
Agriculture under Mr. Cleveland's Admin
stration is now editor of a weekly paper
called the Conservative" published at
Nebraska City. A correspondent requested
MIR. Morton to tell him how many Demo-
cratic voters there are in Nebraska. Re-
plying to the question Mr.. Morton says
"He might have requested one seeing
person voraciously devouring a bologna
sausage to tell him how much beef, pork,
mutton, mule or dog meat il contained.
No one could analyze sausage OF plate
of hotel hash by seeing some one else eat
it nor tell how little good pork or sound
beef or how much mule or dog it contain
ed. And the most acute observer cannot
tell by counting the votes cast for de-
lusion, fusion, illusion and confusion tick
ct in Nebraska how many Of those votes
were formerly Democratic. But 1t is en-
tirely within the bounds of absolute
truth to state, positively, that there is no
Democratic party in Nebraska which has
an existence independent of any other
political party. There is no Democratic
party in Nebraska which, for principle,
of policy, or faith, names candidates
for Office, without regard to getting these
candidates endorsed by some other po.
litical party. The Democratic party Of
Nebraska is only "reminiscences. Long
since it was swallowed by populism." 1t
strikes us that Mr.. Morton's descrip-
ton of the composition Of the new Demo.
cratic party applies to it generally.

Spearmans Camp, Natal, January o.
$50 a. m.-Early on Sunday morning
General Warren commenced thanking
movement on the extreme left of the Boer
position. The infantry advanced at
o clock in the morning along the irregu'
lar Tabamyama mountain, which ends at
Spionkop. The artillery occupied posi-
tions behind on the plain.
The British carefully worked along the
hills until within 900 yards of a COM
manding kopje on which the Beers were
concentrated, concealed behind immense
boulders strewn thickly over the hill. The
artillery opened the attack and the bat
teries worked continuously, pouring tons
of shrapnel among the Beers, who devoted
their attention to musketry firing on the
British infantry.
The Beers stuck to their rock Businesses
with the greatest tenaclty, and at the con-
clusion the British had only advanced
across few ridges The Beers apparently
have few guns and they did little damage.
Captain Honley, of the Dublin Fusiliers,
fell mortally wounded, while leading his
men to seize fresh point of vantage.
EXPECT THE RELIEF TO BE EFFECTED.
London, January 23,-General Butler
reports from Spearmans Camp one officer
and five men killed; three officers and 70
men wounded, and missing as result OF
Sundays fighting.
Though there is considerable anxiety as
to the immediate result of General Buffers
dash at Ladysmith, which, later develop
ments indicate, was undertaken independ-
ent of Field Marshall Lord Roberts, the
War Office has now come to the conclusion
that the relief of Ladysmlth is only mat
ter of short time.
According to the War Office officials
ideas, lash to the relief of Kimberley
will quickly follow the relief of Ladysmith,
and then will follow long spell of organl-
zatlon and perhaps three or four months
will elapse befue the column or columns
will have the transportation service IN
shape to advance with the certainty OF
meeting with no serious reverses. The
latter conditions are held by the authorl'
ties to be absolutely essential before any
forward movement towards the invasion
of the Transvaal is begun; hence, there Is
small probability of the war ending inside
of six months.
