MEXICANS MURDER
 YAQUI INDIANS
MOOT DOWN WOMEN AND GILL pREN UNDER ORDERS NOT TO SPARE A soUL-SLAUGHTER IS FRIGHTFuL.

Tucson. Ariz., June 11.-Col. William ,hr,sty, president of the Valley Bank of Phoenix, arrived here today from Fries as, Sonora, with details of massacre of Yaouf IndIans-men, women and chill 1ren-yesterday In Santa Rosa canan, 50 miles from the AIinas Priestas mines, by ! detachment of General Torres troops.
 It appears that the Yaqui forces that were operating in that section had moved further into the mountains, leaving their women and children in the Santa Rosa canon under a guard of eighty men, The Mexican troops came upon this camp, and, without any warning, opened ter rible fire, sparing neither women nor children. After the first volley the troops charged down upon the panic-stricken victims and massacred all within their reach Of the guard of eighty Yaquis not a single one survived, and over 100 women and children fell victims to the Mexican bullets and bayonets. The bodies of the dead were left in the canon and the remaining women and children were driveu to Linas Priestas by the soldiers and from that point will be taken to Hermosillo.
 The Mexican soldiers and rurals have especial orders to take no 1aqui prls- oners but to kill In all cases 1his UT der was carried out.
 Torres dispatched 500 troops to block the mouth of the canon. and surrounded the Yaouis. His instructions were to kill all men and boys capable of bearing arms
 Many of the killed were mere infants The slaughter, Christy says, was fearful The Mexican troops only stopped tnelr fearful work of shooting and bayonetting their victims when exhausted from their labors.
 The Yaaius say they do not care to fight. that they are peaceable inclined but ire driven to desperation by the Mexi- ,ans and as a last resort are taking ID arms to their rights. The Mexican government appears to be bent on eX- terminating the Yaquis, Christy says, md all men and boys falling into their hands are shot.
