Notes.

Through a mistaken policy of the United States government the Apache troubles in Arizona and New Mexico seemed interminable. The periodical faTTgeS of the murderoUs s. ly inclined, kept the country in state of turmoil and insecurity and subjected it to enormous losses in both life and property. Having temporarily satiated their blood lust, they returned to their reservation to be pampered and fed till the spirit of murder again moved them. With the advent of General Miles, the bloody game of the willy red was at an end. Instead of returning them to their homes to be fatted up for an other foray, he placed them aboard the cars and sent them far away from their field of deviltry. This was the key to the situation, and put nor tal fear in their hearts. Mexico was slow to learn but she finally woke up to a true solution of her trou- bles. As fast as the. Yaquis were caught, they were sent to the agri- cultural districts oS Yucatan. The country is not healthy one, neither was Sonora to other people, so long as they were being murdered by re- bellious Yaquis. These repeated shipments had a telling effect on the hostiles and it was not possible that they could continue to stand the drain. It meant in the course of an other year or so, extermination, or to say the least repatriation. Little wonder is it, that Luis Bule was willing to cry Hold, enough" The return of a number Of Yaquis from the United States at the request of the Mexican government had hkewIs. a most depressing effect on the situ- tion. Arizona might continue to be used as a recruiting ground for men, money and guns, but 1t no longer af- forded them a safe haven or recuper- alton. The only alternative promised was to die in the ditch and Bule evi dently had no relish in that direc- ton.
 This man, Luis Rule, is said to be born leader of men. He is not Ls lieved the hereditary chiefthin. neither was Cajame, but like his illustriouz predecessor, he Forced himself to the head by dint of sheer ability. His Indian name is unknown. his pres ent name being taken from the firm OA Ei LBA4C OOst OA SNe@N AAAeh75 AOA whom he previously worked.
 Bule well understands that the sinews of war depend largely upon the size of the sack" This has been kept in fair condition by an as- sessment of ten cents per week on every ab'e-bodied Yaqui in ArIEUna. New Mexico and California. This amount has been collected by men regularly appointed for that purpose. Much of the money, so collected, was expended for munition Of war.
 Man for man, the Mexican troops are not considered a match for the Yaqui. To fur her augment the diff | ference, he was handicapped by lack of commissary supplies.
 For much of the information rsla- tive to the present condition of the
 Yauui situation, the writer is in. debted to the kindness of Hon. Louis
 Hostetter, American consul. at Her mosiIla. A more obhging and cour-
 teous gentleman does not live. To ! gether with his good wife and
 daughter. he has resided in Hermosil
 Ia for the past three years and it sees
 without saying that they are deseTv | edlv popular. The writer takes this occasion to express his thanks for the many favrrs received.
