4 SERIES OF EXPLOSIONS SHOOK THE EARTH.
in case Of row. The engine house we
made our fort, and 80 men behind its
loopholed walls would make good
fight of it But yet we had something
more than powder and lead to depend
upon. If the Yaquis came through the
mountain pass, they would approach
the works, two miles distant, by way
of two ravines which led quite to our
doors. In some places these ravines
were only six or seven feet deep, in
others over 80, with stone walls on
either side. Under the direction of q
civil engineer powder and dynamite
charges were hidden away in these
walls and buried In the earth and wires
connected with the power house and
an electric battery.
Had it been possible to buy the
friendship Of the Yaquis we should
have attempted it and thus Secured
our safety, but we knew they were
not to be tempted by anything we
could offer. We had been working
full force for three months, with an
alarm now and then, when we learned
why we had not been disturbed by
raiding parties. The whole fighting
force Of the Yaquis, numbering be-
tween 1000 and 5000, was gathering
for grand effort to sweep across the
mountains and clear the country to the
Rio Grande. This had been the dream
Of the chief for years, and his people
had been treasuring up rifles and am
munition. When the force was finally
ready to move, the Mexican govern
ment was powerless to stop it except
on the north, and it was too late to
send out anything like general alarm.
The 1000 well armed savages, know
ing no mercy, fell upon prospector,
freighter, hunter, miner and villager,
and not a man escaped from their
hands. Almost by accident we got
word Of the movement, and the mine
was closed, the poems were sent away,
and we prepared for a siege. Look
outs were established along both ra-
vines, and we had four days in which
to hear the tales Of panic stricken
fugitives who passed our way.
The Yaquis had no pity for age, sex
or condition. They found the people
almost defenseless, and when they had
captured q village every man. woman
and child was put to the torture. Ev-
cry habitatien was burned, live stock
was slaughtered, and even the dogs
and cats were killed. The idea was to
leave nothing alive behind them. The
army did not push forward at swift
pace, but dallied along and spent hours
witnessing the torture Of its victims.
We knew when the Indians finally en-
tered the mountain pass, headed
straight for Us, and it was half an hour
before sunset one evening when we
saw the first Of their force debouch on
the plain and begin a close survey Of
our situation. We were ready for
them, but we knew that no attack
would be made before morning. They
would have had long march and be

their force was up. An hour after sun
rise next morning we witnessed spec
tacIe that made the flesh creep q Dr.
Fully 1000 Yaquis gathered IN com
pact body between us and the mouth OF
the mass and chanted wild and saw
age song. and we were only 30 against
them. They sent no flag Of truce to de-
mand a surrender. They may nave
even hoped we would show fight, as
they had met with no resistance as YET
AS we had hoped and planned for the
Yaouis advanced by the ravines. A
body of about 500 was told on for eacn
rayine. skirmishers were sent on ahead'
and the main body looked on. Inirly
men with winchester rifles inside OF q
stone fort are no mean foe, but we soon
realized that in this case we were a.
most helpless. So swiftly and stead1y
aid the Indians advance and so hot was
their fire at the loopholes that we soon
had five men killed and could not reply
except at great risk. Their advance
was within stones throw of US in both
ravines when we resorted to the eiec'
trio wires, Few men will ever witness
the sight we did. There was series
of explosions which shook the eartn lor
miles around, with bursts of flame ana
smoke leaping to the clouds, ana aIter
one fearful yell there was silence III
both ravines. 1t was half an nour DE-
fore the smoke blew away SO that we
could see the main band. The warriors
stood there without movement, SEEM
ing to have been struck dumb, and 1t
was another hour before they broke up
into small parties and marched into the
mouth of the pass. We thought 1t
ruse. and no man left the power house
until next afternoon. Then it was dis
covered that they had gone for good,
and that without looking after their
killed or wounded.
Down in the two rayines, buried un-
der the debris or lying scorched ana
torn and mangled among the rocks,
were over 900 warriors, all, wiped out
at the tick of the clock. 1t was such
stupendous loss, such a terrible and
mysterious calamity, that even the
fierce Yaquis were terror stricken and
turned back. They returned to their
valley, awed and frightened, telling
a story that awed and frightened those
left behind, and from that date their
power was broken. They have made
war since only in small parties and in
a half hearted way, and their dream
Of driving out the Gringo and the Mex
lean and recovering their own has
been shattered forever.

One part of Egypt shows where the
outward and visible evidences Of the
aboriginal have been softened down
with q veneer which the softeners
fondly imagined is indicative Of in
ward and spiritual grace. This is along
a $50 mile stretch of the White Nile,
where the Shilluks live and move and
have their being.
Now, the Shilluks are picturesque
and a promising people. They have
their Fashoda for capital and their
memories of Lord Kitchener Of Khar-
tum which no man may take from
them. Wherefore, what matters it that
they have lost their original lawless-
ness, their former turbulence and their
cheerful speciality Of roasting the en-.
envy on the point Of the spit?
Now the Shilluks are so civilized
they carry short wooden clubs after
the fashion Of the Broadway police
man and occasionally brandish a long
spear in true light opera style. They
lead an enviable life, these Shilluks;
nothing to do all the livelong day but
lie on the messy bank and spear the
horny hided hippopotamus as he glides
within range, or make a dead crocodile
of a live one by the simple expedient
of harpooning him through his vitals.
As for work, that Is for woman. and
my lord Of the Shiluks never puts his
hand to it.
Agriculture is yet an undeveloped
industry, and what little developing
has already taken place has been at
the instance and hands Of the wives.
The Shilluk country is not the birth
place of the seven brotherhood sisters
Of glorious hirsute memory. All the
women of the tribe shave their heads.
