A dispatch from the City of Mexico says the government has decided to drive the Yaqui Indians from the mountain districts of Sonora to the extreme southeastern part of Yucatan.
 Recent outbreaks have added large number of massacres to the calendar of depredstions of these wild red men.
 The rurales were fought to a finish in trying to effect the arrest of the ringleaders and now troops have bee n dispatched to escort the Yaquis to reservations provided for them at the other end of the republic, where they can be watched.
 Terms of peace have been received from the chiefs, but some of the young bucks have rebelled and al ready four soldiers have been killed by a score or more of the Indians, who ambushed the soldiers. The govern ment says it will be deportation to southeastern Mexico or extermination of the Iebellious and murderous Yaquais, and more troops are being hurried to the front.
