delicate one and nothing much
 could be done or said pending the
 final surrender, June 15. It is known,
 however. that the goYernmenr IS pre-
 pairing for eyentualities in case any
 should occur and are massing troops
 in the district with all possible haste.
 This was learned at Magdelena where
 detachment of the Thirteenth A.
 fantry was put aboard the train. All
 the water holes in the district are
 occupied by troops and as the season is a dry one, this is a stragetic move ment of the most Vital importance.
 In summing up the situation, 1t can truthfully be said that the officials, both civic and military, are awaiting the fifteenth of June with feverish anxiety. No great amount of re- liability is being placed on the word of the Indians. This is the result Of past experience and nothing is being
 ,aken for granted But to an eutsid- CT, partially familiar with the situa- ton it would appear to be mortal
 suicide for the Indians to do other
 than as agreed with Col Galas.
 In conclusion, it must not be for gotten that the Mexican government does not recognize the Individuality of any tribe. Under the law every Indian in Mexico is a citizen of the republic and citizens found in arms against it are guilty of treason and punishable by death. There are no popycock treaties to make with them as in the United States. They are 1 citizens of the country and if they ! do not avail themselves oT that right the fault is with them and not with 1 the government. Considering the 1 immense losses in life and property incident to the revolt of the Yaquis, , the government is to be congratulat- : ed on it's forbearance with a brave
 but a misguided people. Great ; wrongs have been committed on both
 sides, but so far as can be learned the present administrative officers are | not at fault. The loss of life can never be computed, but it is known
 to be enormously large, and the loss
 in property will, it is believed, easily | reach fifty million of dollars. These l figures, MT. Louis Hostetter, the
 American consul at Hermosilla, con | siders conservative in the extreme. The business situation in HermOsilla has been seriously threatened and it
