GUAYMAS, Mexico. Feb 3.-Pas-
sengers arriving this morning from
Ortiz, on the Sonora Railroad. brought
the first news Of terrible crime COM
rnitted by Yaqui Indians. The stage
which runs between Ortiz and Las
Cruces was held up by the savages
and all on board, numbering six per-
sons. were killed. among them Saliva
dor Flores and his nephew, Francisco
Flores. D
The Flores belong to families prom
inent in Sonora They were en- route
to the Guadalupe mine near Las Cru
ces, as were also three Mexican min
ers travelling on the same stage. AS
the coach was rolling over a noun
famous section of the road, the Yaqut
rebels appeared from f16nind a small
butte. There were fifteen in the par
ty, according to the recollection Of
Francisco Flores, who did not expire
until after he was picked up by a
party of vaqueros, who were travelling
in the opposite direction. The In
dams opened fire on the driver with
out even calling on him to throw up
his hands, and he was dead on his
box before he could reach for his gun.
All three miners were armed and re-
turned the frs, which only melted the
Yaquis to further murder. The elder
Flores begged the miners not to re-
turn the fire, believing the Yaquis
might spare them if they did not re-
sist. They realized that resistance
was useless. as the Indians far out
numbered them. The Indians soon
moved down their victims and all but
the younger Flores were instantly
killed. He was left for dead. but sur
vived long enough after being found
to tell the story of the terrible affair.
The Indians carried off the express
which was on the stage and exchanged
their worn out horses for those draw
ing the stage. When the crime was
discovered the officers in charge OF
the garrison at Ortiz were notified and
a detachment of mounted troops
started in pursuit of the Indians. The
attack has OccasiOned great alarm
among the mining camps in the vicin-
ity of Las Cruces and travellers are not
venturing on the roads without escorts
unless several are travelling together
and all are well armed.

CONDITION
Of HANNA
PRECARIOUS
Senator Has Setback
but Family Still
Is Hopeful.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Senator NJ
A Hanna had a setback late this aft
ernoon, which for a time considerably
alarmed his family, who had been en-
couraged TO hope he was getting to be
himself again. but the congestive at
tack which they feared was aVerted to
some extent by prompt action, and to-
night the Senator, while not 50 we'll as
early in the day, showed excellent rail-
lying power and improvement over his
condition at sundOwn.
The setback came in the form of an
attack that resembled sick spells that
have seized the Senator on two or three
occa Sions in the past few years. He
was taken about $3.50 this afternoon
with a congestive chill, which has been
marked heretofore by rush of blood
to the head and coldness of the ex-
tremities. Members ofthe family were
on hand at its first outbreak, and by
the prompt application of mustard
plasters and hot water the attack was
prevented from becoming so serious as
il was feared it might become, and later
in the evening it was stated that the
Senator's condition was again almost
at his normal state of the past few
weeks.
DR.. Rixey, the attending physician,
called in DR.. Magruder, and when they
left Mr.. Hanna's home at o'clock the
Senator was sleeping soundly and the
physicians said they did not expect
to return again until s o'clock to-mor-
row morning. When they left the Sen
ator's pulse was sc, his normal pulse
being 72 and the temperature 100 or
10 above the normal. The doctors
said theg thought his temperature
would + 4 normal again in the morning.
A thorough examination was made of
Mr.. Hanna's heart, lungs and kidneys.
and they were found to be all right.
DR.. Rixey tonight said:
Senator Hanna's condition is not
alarming and ! hope he will be out in
a week or ten days. His Illness is due
TO physical and nervous exhaustion,
caused by attacks Of grip and over
work"
At the request Of Mrs. Hanna, DR.
Brewer. the New York physician who
has attended the Senator and members
OF his family at intermittent periods
for the past twenty-five years, has been
asked TO come to Washington for con-
sultation with the other physicians. He
is expected to arrive here early to-
morrow morning.
Elmer S. Glover, the Senator's pri-
vate secretary, postponed his trip TO
Chicago. which he intended to make to-
night, to attend the meeting of the
subcommittee of the National Com
mittee, TO make arrangements for the
National Convention. Mr.. Glover hopes
to start tomorrow with Senator Scott

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Mail advices
from authentic sources which reached
several persons in Washington to-day
indicate that a terrifying state of af-
fairs has existed recently in Hayti. One
letter from Port au Prince gives the fol-
lowing account of happenings at that
place:
Affairs here are in state of wild
and dreadful disorder. While the Presi-
dent, General Nord, was in Gonaives.
city in the northern part of the repub-
lie, conspiracy was discovered to in
augurate a revolution, not so much
against General Nord himself as for the
purpose of getting control of this city
and forcing the President to agree to
certain measures respecting the liberia
tion and pardoning of a number of
Haytiens implicated in the bank scan
dal. When the time arrived to carry
the plot into execution many Withdrew
therefrom. One of the number, General
Maximo Nomplaizer, was, however, de-
termined to carry it through.
Learning of the conspiracy, the mill
tary governor Of the city, with a num-
ber of soldiers, broke into the house
where Nomplaizer and a few of his
given to shoot all those within on the
spot. Those who were killed were Nom
plaizer, his son, one or two other per-
sons and a servant. The owner of the
house escaped by jumping from a Sec
ond story window, and in so doing
broke his leg, but managed to crawl to
the house of German, who gave him
shelter. The military authorities ar
rested and imprisoned his wife.
Hearing this the man informed the
authorities that if they would release
his wife he would return to his house.
He kept his word. returning to the
house, where the authorities found him
in bed after physician had set his leg.
Without any ceremony they killed him
as he lay there by firing thirteen bullets
into his body.
THE foreign residents then became
alarmed, and the German admiral in
formed the authorities If their action
did not cease he would land marines
and take possession of the city. This
stopped further proceedings.

Co., who were correspondents in
California. That was the begin
ming of the trouble in San Fran
cisco, yet it was not the immedi-
ate cause of the decision to call a
meeting of creditors. The stress
caused by the New York disas-
ter was really overcome by the
San Francisco correspondents,
but the members of the local firm
exhausted their resources in or
der t. meet unexpected losses
and protect their creditors. Let
me explain that causes other
than the failure of Sharp & Bryan
contributed to the embarrass-
ment of Bolton, De Ruyter & Co.
Day before yesterday the knowl-
edge suddenly came to the firm
that a clerk or a subordinate con-
nected with the firm had, with
out the consent or authority of
the house, extended large credits
to local customers, and it was
disclosed by investigation that Sc
rious losses would surely be the
result of this unauthorized ac-
commodation."

"You ask the question" re-

pension of the firm, which is quite
prominent, is practically an

conjecture as to the amount in
volved in the failure, but there is
an impression that the sum will
approximate $25o,ooo. The losses
will fall chiefly on local custom
ers. 1t was surmised last evening
that some of the banks would be
heavy losers, but inquiry elicits
the statement that no bank is
concerned to any considerable
extent. Some years ago the
Croker Woolworth National
Bank was very close to the house
of Bolton, De Ruyter & Co., but
the connection during recent
months has not been close
enough to create comment.
