Americans have obtained concessions from the Mexican
government of mining cattle and farming lands they
have been able to hold undispued sway over
them. Now the hardy gringo will descend upon Sonora,
bent upon a conquest far thorough than that of
Scott in 1S4S. He lusts for the silver and gold
hidden under the Sonora mountains for great bands OF
cattle and the fruits of the fertile valleys and he will
have them.

some time before the hastily summone"
Fifth cavalry and Eleventh and Twelfth
infantry companies could be marched
against them. Then followed a series OF
battles which generally concluded unsat-
isfactorily for the Mexicans, though
there was an occasional rounding up OF
the rebels in which large numbers OF
them were slaughtered On the approach
of the troops the Indians usually took up
strong positions in the mountain fast
nesses One large band fortified itself
in the Bacatete range, between the faqul
and Matopo rivers, and another in the
Sahuaripa mountains. Efforts were
made to keep these two bands apart, but
the working Yaquis all over Sonora ana
in California and Arizona were constant
ly coming in and joining with their
brethren and the depredations upon the
ranches and villages were widespread.
Meantime the MeXicans gathered IN
the women and children of their foemen
for deportation to Yucatan, following the
demand of Diaz to 'eXterminate the "a
ouis." Maddened by this and by the
reports that the women and children
were not merely deported, but thai they
were taken out into the Gulf OF Calltor-
MIA and thrown overheard from the troop

to an enterpriSing Yankee for con-
sideration it has been only natural
that Yaqui and Yank should have be-
come embroiled at times.
THE Yaqui Indians are the most
stubborn fighters on earth,' said Presi-
dent Diaz of Mexico eight years ago,
and if ever we are to put them down
we must strike at the root of their race
We must exile their women and chill
dren.'
So, month by month, since then thou
sands of the little brown women of the
Yaqui nation in Sonora have been torn
from their homes on reservations and
elsewhere, rounded up at Guaymas, on
the west coast of Mexico, and, with
their children, deported to San Bias and
thence across country to the far fever
lands of Yucatan, where many of them
have died. None have ever returned to
Sonora.
This means of subduing a race that
has been in almost constant warfare
against the Mexican government for
more than 80 years has at last been
effective, although it has been neces-
sary at the same time to keep from
1000 to 5000 troops in readiness or
in the field to fight the diminishing
band of Yaquis, who have proved them
selves as valiant and as unyielding as
the Beers.
The last two stands of the Yaquis
have recently been reported in the dis
patches. One of these was in a noun
tain canyon just north of Altar, where
the Mexicans and Papagos lured the
YaQuis into ambush and killed a large
number Of them. The other and con-
Guiding engagement followed a Skin
mish that was made by the Mexicans
southeast of Hermosillo the capital of
Sonora, in which it was reported that
Bule. the chief of the Yaquis was killed
and 100 of his men were slain. After
this bloody battle the remnant of the
YaGui forces engaged in that fight
marched into Hermosillo and surren-
dcred.
So many other events have been tax
ing place on this populous planet, and
the affairs of Sonora enter so little into

Tue Celebrated Carroll Spoke.

The colored graded school finished its
commencement exercises last evening.
Besides having well selected program
and declamations which were very cred.
itable indeed, Rev. Richard Carroll OF
Columbia, delivered an address which
was highly entertaining and lnstruc-
tive, and it was also teemlng with sound
and wholesome advice The speaker has
done much for the advancement OF MS
race, and his views on the race question
are 50 broad and statesuanlike that the
following of his leadership will be the
salvation of race that has been chas-
ing after false gods whose only care for
them was to enrich themselves, but not
so with Carroll. He has demonstrated
his devotion to his people by the many
and constant sacrifices be has made for
them. He is man OF eloquent tongue,
forceful expression, student OF men
and affairs, and wirhal he enjoys the es-
TEEN and confidence of the business and
professional men throughout the State.
Those who heard hisaddress last even
ing. among whom were a number OF
whites, were highly pleased. It was the
writers intention to be present but cir
cumstances prevented. If every town
in South Carolina had a Carroll the TWO
races would need have no anxiety OF
there ever being any frictiol between
them. Carroll teaches his people the
doctrine of merit, that which they mer'
it will be accorded them.
