Yaqui Indian Troubles
Are Not Yet At An End

Mexico City, June 2-As declared in the
dispa tches some days ago, the Mexican
government maintains that any state
ment that peace between the Yaqui In
dians and the federal government has
been declared or is assured, is premature.
On the contrary, the war department
is making every preparation to resume
the campaign against the Indians should
they fail to meet the terms of surrender
as outlined by the military commanders.
June Is is the date set upon when the
final decision will be rendered as to
whether absolute peace or the inaugura-
tion of a more vigorous campaign Will
ensue.
The war department is pessimistic as
TO the future The Yaqui chief, Bule, it
is thought, will be unable to control
many petty chiefs, who seemed deter
mined to continue the struggle.
The Yaquis seem to believe the govern
ment is incapable of carrying on the war
further because of past peace proposals
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1908-06-03

and hence have made the following hard
terms to the proposed surrender:
That the Indians should be put in i'm
mediate and complete possession of the
Yaqui country that they be allowed to
name their own authorities. that no taxes
should be levied upon them; that govern
ment troops should Immediately evacu-
ate the territory and that no man foreign
to their tribes should be allowed to cross
the boundary marking the Yaquis dis
trict without their special consent.
To all of these proposals the govern
ment has no idea of consenting.
While the government believes that
peace in the region is not far distant, II
is considered that more fighting will yet
have to be waged to gain that desired
end. If necessary the war department is
prepared to wage a war of determination
against the Indians, until such time as
the region which they inhabit shall
be safe as any other part of the repub
lie

Coming from a source Of un-

sion generally endorse the in

those natural and rational acts
upon which depends a mans
success and happiness in social
and everyday life.
The instructions for mixing
