No Women At His Funeral.

There is not one woman mourning over the
death OF Col James Boyd, OF Norristowu, Pa.
At his funeral last week two policemen were
stationed at the door of his home with explicit
instructions not to permit any woman or girl
to enter the hou.e. The policemen were
there as a result of a request made by Col.
Boyd when dying, and they obeyed orders.
Not woman looked on the face of the dead
man. and not woman witnessed his burial.
Col. Boyd had avoided all womankind since
his wife died in 1876. His aversion did not
wane when he was on his death he'd, and he
requested that only men be permitted to at.
tend his funeral. Personal invitations were
sent by the funeral committee to about one
hundred men whom the Colonel included
among his friends.

HERMOSILLO, Mex, April 26-Nu-
merous dispatches from Ures. Carbo

Governor Ysabel add a new phase to
the Yaqui situation in Sonora. The
War Department of Mexico recently de-
cided to deport to Yucatan all of the
Yaqui Indians remaining in Sonora,
whether or not they had taken part in
the troublesome revolts of the past few
months.
According to advices from Ures 300
Yaqui Indians who have been shearing

hard work upon the ranches in the
Tres district rebelled when they learned
that they and their families would
eventually be included in the deporta-
ton order.
The Indians assembled in the noun
tains and a town called Batobabi was
first attacked. Manuel CubilIas and
Luis Estrada, who led the force which
defended the town, were both killed and
the Indians captured the place OF the
fight at Tocolete and Los Paredones

Indians were victorious and took pos

torch to the Killen Hotel, which with
several other buildings was burned
A runner carried the first news of
the fight, while a party of five Indians
brought TO that town resolutions,
drawn up by the leader Of the Yaqui
band, offering to desist from hostili-
ties and go back upon the ranches if
the Mexican authorities are ready to
agree not to deport any more friendly
members of their tribe. If these terms
of peace are not accepted the Indians
threaten TO spread terror through all
the country round and defy General

Hearst Forces Routed in Massachu-
setts District Convention.

BOSTON, Mass, April 26.-Demo-
cratic district conventions to elect dele
gates to the national convention at St
Louis were held in the fourteen Con-
gressional districts Of the State to-day,
and in all but four the district dele
gates were either pledged or favorable
to the nomination of Richard OIney for
the Presidency
OF these delegates, twenty-one are
claimed for Olney, six are conceded to
Hearst, while one is unpledged and
non-committaL To the Olney forces
must be added the four delegates at
large elected and pledged to him at
the State convention.

Against the unit rule the Hearst
delegates will make strong protest

occasioned by the result of the ballot
