yAQU|S CLAIM ARIZONA LANDS
Question Of Ownership Is Laid Bef or
Department Of the Interior.

Ell Paso. Texas, June 16.-After
warfare which has extended over 120
years, cost thousands of lives and a
property loss estimated at $50 0,000,-
excessive cruelty and brutality on
both sides, the Yaqui nation of IN
dians has at last hoisted the flag of
surrender. Terms of settlement have
been agreed upon by representatives
of the Mexican army and Chief
Brule. of the Yaquis, and today has
been set for a gathering of the In
dian tribes to ratify the treaty of
peace. Many doubt that the Indians
are acting In good faith, and that
the Mexican army officers share this
misgiving is evidenced by the fact
that troops in large numbers have
been massed in the district, prepared
for possible uprising today.
The Yaqui tribe claims ownership
of a large tract of land in Arizona,
and an envoy was recently sent to
Washington to lay the matter before
the department of the interior 1t is
unlikely that the Washington au-
thorities will be in any haste to in
vite the "scourges of Mexico" to the
United States
The terms of settlement between
the Mexican government and the In
dians provide unconditional submis-
sion of the Yaquis to the authority
of the government; that the lives
and property of the Indians be re-
spected and they be protected in all
the rights and privileges occorded to
provided however, that for the time
being they must rot go north Of
Ures; that all arms and munitions of
war in the hands of the Indians be
delivered to tho military authorities,
that emisaries should be sent to
the different Yaqui bands, advising
them to cease hostlities and deliver
up their arms; and that the govern
ment provide all necessaries for the
submitting Indians until such time
as work can be provided for them.
Although christianized by the
Spanish fathers, the Yaquis stead
fastly refused to accept the domin-
ion of SPAIN and as soldiers, in the
revolutionary army, materially aided
in driving the Spaniards from the
country, and in later years, against
the armies of the republic, they
stubbornly maintained their free
dom. When at peace, they enjoyed
all the rights and privileges accord
ded to other citizens of Mexico, but
their fealty to tribal relations was
never broken.

To those who have long known
and esteemed General R. V. David
son for his dignified manliness these
most recent thrusts of that vilest of
all earth's filth, character assassins,
the insults almost become personal
and it is with difficulty that strong
and forceful resentment can be re-
strained. And the writer of this
speaks of a long knowledge of the
man who is furnishing the target for
these foul-mouthed specimens of de-
PRAYED manhood, also of consider
able acquaintance with those who
are participating in this villainy.
Vance Davidson is only a man, but
he is so much a man that between
him and these miserable snakes the
Almighty has made a difference that
nothing can overcome. But it is
painful to note at what cost the
honor of a faithful service is some
times worn.
