weapons. A few days later there was another brisk fight and the bride met death.
 Another case which came to the Amer ican's notice was that of a family which consisted of the father, mother and three children, the ages ranging from Il to 15 years, the two elder being girls
 First the father went into battle and was killed. The eldest girl next joined the ranks of the fighters and in turn met death. Then the remaining girl and the boy went together and few weeks saw them both in their ,raves There being none left to care for. the mother joined the fighting band and at last accounts was carrying gun and helping thin the ranks of the hated Mexicans
 When the war will end is hard to pre- dict. Those who best know the situation say 1t will end when the last Yaoui breathes his las. As the nation is yet a powerful one it is probabla that this gen eration will not witness peace between the Yaquis and the Mexican government.

Welcome Americans.

VS'SoiHC HIHeTlCdnS. Notwithstanding the hostility of these Indians to the Mexicans, a citizen of the United States is always accorded a well come among them, and is given the best of treatment
 We are brothers" they say, flor did not we come from your country, once upon time?''
 However, it is not the safest proposi- tion to travel through the Yaqui coun- try, for it often happens that they first fire and then inquire as to the identity of their travellers. Then. too, there are some of the less enlightened Indians to wohm every one not Yaqui is Mexican and an enemy
 The difficulty between the Yaquis and the government Is over the interference of the government with certain tribal rites sacred to the Indians. This interference led to open rebellion on the part of the Indians and the governmental troops were sent to quell the insurretcion It has never been quelled. There are intervals of comparative quiet and peace. and the au- thorities are led to hope. occasionally that their obstreperous subjects have con cluded to settle down and become law abiding citizens. Then will come news of a massacre and more troops are sent into Yaquiland and the war is on again.
 The writer of romances could find a wealth of material among the Yaquis An American engaged in mining in the moun- tains adjacent to the Yaqui country tells or young couple which joined their for tunes and started in to keep house and till plot of land on the Rio Yaqui. They had been married about three months when there was clash between the Mex ican soldiers and party of Yaquis. and Ialoviete called his braves together for the warpath

Thrive on Fighting.

The dialect of the Yaquis is similar to that of the Pimas of Arizona. They are active traders dealing in salt and wooen goods, which they dispose of to Indians of neighboring tribes for Mexican money or such articles as they may desire.
 The Yaquis seem to thrive on fighting, and the Mexican authorities have about despaired of conquering them by such means. A policy of disintegration has been adopted, which, 1t is hoped, will help solve this problem. When ever wo- men and children are captured they are sent to distant parts of the republic, where, 1t Is hoped, they will become rooted to the soil. and by mingling and mixing with those of that section in which they are planted their hostile spirit may be softened and they become good citizens
 Some of the boys are placed in military schools and are allowed to satisfy their warlike spirits by eventually going out with the Mexican army to fight against their own people. This latter experiment has not proved a success, thus far.
 Taloviete, the head of the Yaqui army, is a young man. but he has proved hin1- self an able general and he has perfect control over his subjects. Not a man in the Yaqui army but would unhesitating- ly die for him. Indeed, on one occasion. when Colonel Celso Vesa, with detach- ment of Mexican soldiers, cornered TaIo- viete and small party in d narrow can- yon, his men actually threw themselves upon the bayonets of the enemy and so delayed them that their leader made his escape where certain capture had seemed assured.

Boys Hard Painters.

Children also take part in the conflict. Boys and girls of ten and twelve years are found in numbers among the prison- able foes and know no fear, do not falter at hardships and display the cunning and astuteness of persons of mature age.
 The Yaqui problem has become one of the serious matters with which the Mex ican government has to deal The tribe or nation Is a large and powerful ones The men are tall vigorous. active and in- telligent. They differ from many of the Indians in that they are industrious, and between their warike excursions they cul- tivate the soil along the Rio Yaqui and raise good crops.
 They have constructed strongholds and intrenched themselves in the mountains adjacent to their towns, and from these Qualifications 1t is almost impossible to rout them. Their country is so thor oughly patrolled that for the Mexican troops to swoop down upon them and capture or surprise them is very difficult. When hard pressed they flee to the moun- tains, and there they can defy an army many times larger than their own.
 The Apache Indians claim that the Ya- quis are a remnant of the "Tze-T Time" or 'Stonehouse People," as they term the ancient cliff dwellers. They have a tra- diton that their forefathers drove the cliff dwellers out of the canyons of the Colorado river and the adjacent canyons, and that they then fled to the Rio Ya- qui, where they have since dwelt.

YAQUI INDIANS THE MODERN SPARTANS They Have Waged Bitter War
 Against Mexico EVEN THE CHILDREN FIGHT Women Frequently Captured Among the Warriors and They Are Very
 couraeous-Men Are Tall
 and lntellignt
EVEN THE CHILDREN FIGHT

Los Angeles, Cal, Correspondence or tne
 Cincinnati Enquirer.
 General sherman, who knew the west ern Indians as few men of his day knew them, said of the Yaqu Indians that they we're the Spartans of America. This was in connection with their warfare with the Mexican government.
 Since then d generation has passed away and still the warfare continues and come reports similar to one just brought into Los Angeles by man just from the field. He reports the almost complete annihilation of a company Of Mexican soldiers by body of the Yaquis composed almost entirely of women of the tribe.
 Surgeon Jose Batiste Alvarado of Guay- mas, in recent report to General Torres' governor of the third zone in the Mexican republic, mentions finding among the prisoners five Yaqui women, each WI gunshot wounds. Not a murmur was ut tered by these women, although some of their wounds were of a serious nature. One of the five died of her wound, another suffered amputation of a leg at the knee, still another lost the greater part of hand.
 So bitter is the warfare and so deter mined are the Indians in their mutinous course that those women who have suf- fered mutilation, if released when dis charged from the hospital, will return to the camp of the enemy and be found fighting at the first opportunity.

Cerem Ony Took Place In War De.
pnrtmcmt Amid Cong rntulntlOns
and GOod-Bys for Retiring and
Incoming se~cretaries.

Washington, Feb. Gov. William
II. Taft took the oath Of Office as secre-
tary Of wal Monday and at once en-
tered upon his new duties. The cere-
mony tool place in the large reception
room attached to the secretary's Office
in the wal department, and the trans
fer of authority from Elihu Root, tho
retiring secretary, to Gov. Taft, while
simply made, was moro impressive
than any similar event in many years.
Before noon, the appointed hour, Gov.
Taft came over TO the department from
his hotel with a little party Of personal
friends and some OF his Immediate
family. They were ushered into Sec
rotary Roots Office, where the retiring,
secretary, in a few well chosen words
and with a good deal Of feeling, sur
rendered his portfolio to Gov. Taft.
The party then proceeded to the recep-
ton room, where Gen. Chaffee. chief
of staff, in uniform, took charge o. the
ceremonies. The room was cleared OF
all except the participants in the in-l
duction save the party OF friends and}
members OF the general stan.
CONCENTRATION and GOOd-Bys. \
Gov. Taft and Secretary Root took
their places at the long table, where5i
stood John Randolph, n notary, who,
administered the oath Of Office to The
incoming secretary. Then there were
congratulations showered on Secretary
Taft and good-bys were said to Secre- ,
tary Root. Every army officer on duty(
In Washington was aligned at the door
way and the brilliantly uniformed col
umn, passing before the retiring and
incoming secretaries, formed a pretty
spectacle. Secretary Taft was In the
best Of spirits, and he had a smile and
good word for everyone, while SecreA
tary Root showed in his cOuntenancg
the relief he felt in laying down tho
cares OF the Office.
