San Francisco, June 27.--A special Ia
the Chronicle from Tucson, Arizona
saysi At least l2 ranchers and several
women and children have met death al
the hands OF a band of 100 Yaqui In.
dians, who have been raiding the coun.
try along the San Miguel river, in the
Ures district Of Sonora. and a party
composed largely Of American mining
men, headed by Joseph Dewitt, has gone
out from vozo station to rescue the un.
fortunates, who are in danger Of being
massacred by the Indians.
DR.. Frank J. Toissant, who has re.
turned from Tres, brought news of the
trouble, which began last Friday. After
several families had been murdered by
the Indians, the ranchers made a de.
termined stand at the Buenos Ayres
ranch, where, aided by about 30 EN-.
ployes, they succeeded in repulsing the
Indians, although Jesus 0rtondo, pro-
prietor of the place, his brother Fran.
cisco Luis Carranga, proprietor of an
adjoining ranch, and several other neigh.
bors, died from wounds received in the
fight.
DIR. Touissant attended CarranZa, who
was brought into Lachumata, mining
town near where the fight took place
Several Mexicans took refuge in ranch
house and fought from the windows and
roof. It Is thought that fully 20 In.
dians were killed, although the number
can only be estimated as the savages
carried of the dead and wounded when
they retired.
The nearest armed force is stationed
at Ures, and when DIR. Touissant left
Hermosillo, they had been sent to the
scene Of the outrages. Five Yaquis,
taken just outside OF Lachumata, and
thought to have taken part in the mas.
sacre, were Immediately hanged.

Newbury, N. H., June 27-The an
nouncement today from the Summer
home Of Secretary of State John Hay
was that the patient had passed com
Portable night, and the morning found
him resting quietly, much refreshed
from the nights sleep. Although Mr.
Hays sleep was but intermittent, his
repOse resulted in the regaining of con-
siderable strength. 1t was not believed
however, that the secretary would be
about as soon as had been anticipated.
The arrival of a nurse and of a ply.
sician, DIR, jackson, from Boston, dur
ing the night was result of the be-
lief that the secretary would undoubt-
-edly require the most careful nursing
and medical attention during the com.
ing days. The family, however, does
not apprehend any danger whatever
from Mr.. Hays illness, but they realize
that the attack of uremia Of Saturday
following as 1t did a period of illness
for which Mr.. Hay went abroad for
treatment, weakened the secretary's
physical power and neeessitates, al

Seaside, Ore, June 27.--Miss Ella
Young, of Portland, and her sister, Mrs.
Arthur Mann, also of Portland, while
bathing in the surf near LOcksley hall
at 2:3O o'clock today, were saved from
drowning, in spectacular rescue by
John P. Won Almen and Walter J.
Smith, both of New Rockford, N. D.
Miss Young and Mrs. Mann had en-.
tered the water shortly before, and
while enjoying the surf were suddenly
caught in the undertow. They were
unable to regain their footing and we're
being rapidly carried to sea when their
cries for help attracted the attention of
Won Almen and Smith, who were
sprawled upon the sands, and immedi-
ately rushed to the assistance of the
drowning women.
When reached by Won Almen, Miss
Young was unconscious. He grasped
the PROSTATE woman and carried her
ashore. Mrs. Mann was assisted by
Smith. E. P Smith, a carpenter, work
ing nearby, hastened to where Miss
Young was brought, and worked over
her for half an hour, finally succeeding
in resuscitating her. With Mrs. Mann,
Miss Young was then conveyed to the
RiYerview cottage, where Dr. w. E.
Lewis, Of this city, who had been sum
moned by people who had witnessed
the narrowly averted tragedy, took them
in charge.
DR.. Lewis states that while he feels
Miss Young is not in preearious con-
dltion, such complications as inhamma-

may set in as a result of her having
swallowed a considerable quantity of

are spending the Summer here at the
Riveryiew cottage. Smith and Won
Almen came here this morning for
days pleasure. They returned to Port
land on the night train.

Portland, June Ex-senator Mitchell
did not take the stand and explain
away the testimony Of his former part
ner, Judge Tanner, and his former pri-
vate secretary, Harry Robertson. Only
one witness was put upon the stand at
the opening of the morning session,
when Judge Bennett announced that the
defense would rest its case and that the
time for the argument had come.
Senator Thurston Immediately asked
permission of the Court TO present his
argument as to instructions to be given
the jury by the Court, and that the jury
be excused from the room while the
matter was being discussed.
In the argument the last remaining
hope of Senator Mitchell was set out
by the attorneys. They argued that the
indictment alleged specifically that the
defendant had received money from
Frederick A. Kribs. The defense urged
that the government had failed to prove
this, for the checks had been paid by
Kribs to the firm of Mitchell & Tan.
ner, but not Senator Mitchell in per.
son. The money paid to Mitchell had
been money Of the firm. sent by Judge
Tanner to the senator and Kribs had
not paid Mitchell, as was charged in
the indictment; for these reasons it
was incumbent upon the Court to in
struct the jury that the verdict should
be for acquittal.
Senator Mitchell has practically made
no defense in the case with the mass OF
the governments evidence hanging over
him.
His witnesses all told stories along
the same line. The testimony was
stated by the Court to be immaterial,
though no objection was made to it by
the prosecution. The stories are als
to the effect that the witnesses at some
time in the past had requested favors
of Senator Mitchell in the accomplish.
ment of which it had been necessary fol
the defendant to appear before the de-
partments and in each case he had re.
fused the proffer of compensation made.
In the afternoon Francis j. Heney
presented the case for the prosecution
He stated that the duty of the jury
was to disregard the fact that defend
ant was aged and also any sophistry OF
the speeches made or to be made by
the attorneys for the defense. Heney,
at no time made an attack upon Senator
Mitchell, but followed closely the evi.
dence, explaining and systematiEing it,
Judge Bennett and Senator Thurston
will present the arguments for the de.
tense tomorrow.
1t is expected that the case win go
to the jury in the afternoon.

viii Not Consent TO Confinement
Of Farley Over Moroccan
Question.
ROUWER RDOES NOT COMMENT
Says no Action Will Be Taken Until
Matter Is Submitted to Council Of
Ministers Friday. Germany Wishes
to Give Mediators Carte Blanche.

Paris, June 27.-Germany's reply tc
the French note on the subject OF the
Moroccan controversy was presented
during u conference between Primes
Radolin, the German ambassador, and
Premier Rouyier, at the foreign Office
today.
While most friendly in form and en-
tirely lacking in prementory tone, Ger.
many's response none the less main
tains the position in the Moroccan ques'
tion that il must be regulated by a
conference of the Powers, without any
agreement in advance, limiting the scope
OF such conference.
This is accompanied by the presenta'
tion Of Germany's general point of view
in such an amicable spirit as TO dis
arm the suspicion entertained concern
ing Germany's ulterior motives.
II is thought that Premier Rouvier
will be prepared for the termination OF
the controversy either by accepting the
conference or submitting counter pro.
posals, However, he has informed
Prince Radolin that no decision viii be
taken until the German note is sub,
mitted to the council of ministers at
the next regular meeting, Friday.
