A. RedewelI Says They Con-
 tinue to Murder and Pil- lage in Sonora.
MANY DEPREDATI0NSl
 NEVER HEARD ABOUT.
Colonel Randolph and Capital iStS Interested in Placer Dig gings Are Installing $500,- 900 Worth of Machinery.

Some of them walking thousands of miles, suffering hardships along the greater part of the way, hundreds of Yaqui Indians have returned to So nora from Yucatan, where they are being constantly sent by the Mexican government, both by boat around the Horn and overland across a barren country.
 A. Redewell, who arrived in Phoenix yesterday from Hermosillo and Guay- mas, where he spent ten days on business, says that reports of Yaqui outrages are not exaggerated, but that on the contrary many of their killing of defenseless ranchers do not get into general circulation, the tragedies oc- curing in isolated districts. Redewell says that reports of out rages are constantly reaching Hermo- sillo, and that many of the people of that city are in a state of alarm, fear ing that the Yaquis may gather suffi- cient strength to venture close to that city and slay the ranchers and cattle men.
 Only a few days before Redewell | left Hermosillo a report reached there of the murder by Yaquis of family of five within fifty miles of the city. After the slaughter they took the horses and other articles they could carry into the mountains, setting fire to all the buildings before they es- capped.
 The Mexican officers are at their wits end. For years they have been attempting to suppress the Indians. No sooner do they drive the redskins out of one section than they gather in new stronghold and resume their depredations.
 Many stories are being told about what the Yaquis are doing that are not true" remarked Redewen last night, but eonugh of them have foun- dation to make some parts of Sonora an unsafe country in which to venture without a big escort. ....-.
 From what I could learn I judge | that the Indians are getting worse. For time they would not harm Americans or other foreigners, but 1 now they seem to have turned their ! hand against every race but their own. One of the strangest features of the whole matter is the source from which the Indians are getting their arms and ammunition. When any of them are CapIuTeu lnSy diS di"dS . found to have modern rifles and plen- ty of cartridges.
 Il believe these Indians are getting help from white people. Part of their guns may be sent from the United States by their own people, but they are getting other help" Where it is coming from is more than l could learn while I was in Sonora"
 Redewell says that many skirmishes are taking place between the Indians and Mexican soldiers about which nothing is heard. He believes that the band of marksmen to be put in the field against the Yaquis will prove an important factor in the warfare that is going on.
 Redewell spent a couple of days at Fl Tiro and Boludo, where Colonel Epes Randolph and a party of capital | ists are expending large sums to pre- pare for placer mining on a large scale.
 Randolph is sending about s500,O0C worth of machinery, which will be in stalled as fast as possible. Fifteen miles of 10-inch pipe are to be laid to bring water to the placer ground.
 Fourteen mule teams of from ten to twenty animals are now hauling ma .chinery and supplies from Santa Ana a point on the railroad 5S miles from l HermosiIlO, to Fl Paso.
