Two-Day Battle.

Two-Day Battle.
La Colorado, Mex, Feb. 23.-The
Mexican forces under General Torres,
numbering about 400. have killed 40
Yaquis and taken 167 prisoners in a
two-days' battle with the savages in
the mountains east Of this camp.
When the fight ended General Luis
Torres, with his staf, two-thirds of his
force and the prisoners returned to La
Colorado. The Mexican officers refused
to make any statement Of their own
losses until they make their official re-
port, but private soldiers OF the force
who took part in the fight say they
were inconsiderable, although there
were sick and wounded among the re-
turning troops.
1t is said there were 500 warriors in
the band surrounded by Torres in the
Mazatlan mountains. About 100 of
these broke through the Mexican lines
and escaped, but the main force was
hurled at a detachment commanded by
Captain Luis Barron, an old Yaqui
fighter, who was guarding one Of the
mountain passes. He succeeded in
holding the savages in check until the
arrival of reinforcements, when they
were driven back with heavy loss and
finally surrendered. The final on
slaught had been preceded by two days
of skirmishing, the troops were worn
out, the rains had set in and Torres
decided to withdraw 20 La Colorado
with his prisoners, abandoning the
pursuit of those who had escaped.

REVOLT IN CAUCASUS
Provisional Government Set Up Under
Lead Of Armenlans.


Lead Of Armenlans.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 23.-According
10 mail reports received from Batoum,
racial disorders in the Caucasus have
developed into actual revolution in the
cities Of Batoum, Peti and Kutais, at
the western end OF the Black Sea, un-
der the lead Of Armenians. who have
set up a form of provisional govern
ment. Telegraphic communication has
been cut OF for several days, and it is
impossible to secure direct confirma-
tion Of these reports; but according 20
one letter, the Armenian faction few
days ago succeeded in making prison
ers Of most of the officials and shutting
up the officers and some of the troops
I'm the barracks, and aided TO some ex-
tent by reservists, in taking the reins
OF government into their own hands
It is known that the semi-weekly
steamer service between Batoum and
Odessa has been interrupted. and until
telegraphic communication Is restored
information is only obtainable by way
Of Constantinople.
The authorities here and others ia
miliar with conditions in the Caucasus
do not attach great Importance to these
reports, however. as this region is in a
continual state of turmoil; and II It is
true that Armenians have succeeded
in temporarily establishing themselves
in the towns named. it Is no indication
Of general revolutionary movement,
but simply another manifestation Of
racial feeling between Armenians and
Tartars.
