and is, therefore shut out from residence
in the secret city, told the writer that he
had been to Chan Santa Cruz several
times to dispose of merchandise, chiefly
cotton goods purchased in British Hondu-
ras. He said that the people were gov

that TO enter their country it was neces-
sary to send word TO the head men, ask
ing permission, and stating the object of
the visit, and If the permission was
granted, an escort would be sent to ec-
company the visitor, but under no circum-
stances would the stranger be allowed to
enter from the northern frontier guarded
by Mexicans. He further stated that he
had always been scrupulously dealt with
on his visits to the Maya stronghold, re-
ceiving for his goods vanilla, cocoa and
money, and at the end of a certain period,

As in all the Spanish American oligar-
chies, internal strife followed. Cities and
towns were in open warfare one against
the other and the oppressed Mayas who
has hitherto meekly bowed their necks to
the yoke now began to recognize their
own power in the weakness of their OPP
pressors.
II came like a cloudburst upon all those
in whose veins flowed Spanish blood. The
Indians had risen. They fell upon viii
iage, town and city, one after another
No quarter was asked or given. Garri-
sons were put to the sword and the peo-
pie seeking shelter within the churches
were cruelty massacred. Smoking heaps
of ashes and blackened ruins marked the
trail OF the enraged Indians.
The whites and mestizos rallied and
there ensued what is known in Yucatan
as the War of the Races, which threat

ulation The Yucatan government in dis
pair appealed to Mexico for help, and
upon the surrender of her independence
TO become a state of that republic, fed
eral troops were sent to defend her
against the ravages of the Indians. At
first the Mayas were driven slowly back
and the central government was content
to establish garrisons at the ruined cities
along the border. The Mayas established
their government somewhere within the
uneXplored wilds to the south bordering
Guatemala, and their stronghold became
known as Chan Santa Cruz, the strong

The situation is not considered
very grave by the farmers. The
police characterize the whole move
ment as cleverly attempted graft
by the leaders, and do not hesitate
to say that the initiation fees are
the end in view. Citizens gener-
ally are disposed to laugh at the
agitation.
The officers have devised an
initiation, and put all members
through lodge code. There ere
no headquarters, but candidates are
taken out of town or into an empty
room to be given the work. With

member is permitted to work un-

have been given permits to GO out
