FIERCE BATTLE WITH BANDITS
LEADER AND FIVE OF HIS
BAND REPORTED KILLED.
Believed That Many Of the Crimes
Charged to the Yaqui Indians
Were Committed by This Gang.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SONORA. Mexico, March 30.-News
comes from across the mountains of a
fierce battle with a band of renegade
Indians and Mexicans in the hills north
east of Pasqueria, on the Chihuahua-So-
nora boundary. The fight took place be-
tween the gang Of bandits and a conf
mand Of rurale troops and ranchmen,
who were hunting the renegades for cat
tie theft. and. according to the reports.
Jose Vasque, leader of the bandits, was
mortally wounded and five Of his men
killed. OF the attacking party three
ranchmen and one rurale met death.
The renegades had established them
selves in a cave at the head of a deep
canon and the posse had to go right
into the teeth Of their improvised fortress
to GUST them. The gang had been robbing
lone travellers, ranchmen and miners, and
1t is believed that many of the crimes
heretofore charged up to the Yaqui In
dams were the work Of this band. Mrs
Riler Baler of Ell Paso. Tex, whose hus-
band was killed in that region a year
ago. declared at that time that the MUIR
der was committed by Mexicans and half
breeds, and not Yaqui Indians. as
charged by the Mexican officials, and
Americans believe that many other dep
relations have been committed by these
cut-throats of the hills.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. March 3o.-A feature of
this mornings somewhat reactionary
market was the persistent strength OF the
United States Steel shares. despite the
orators for the fall TO depress the market
I'm general from the average high prices
attained in the last few days of the pres
ent advancing movement. After yester-
days notable rise for securities. which
brought the average prices of the repre-
sentative railroad and the industrial
shares to practically the highest point Of
the year, professional traders seem to re-
gard a reasonable reaction as the only
method of testing the SoundnesS OF the
advancing movement.
Traders In general looked for the recess
sions in prices which usually come after
somewhat surprised to find some securi-
ties advancing in the face of attack by
the bears. For instance Brooklyn Rapid
Transit in the early dealings advanced q
point and a half upon reports that the
first dividend of 1 per cent recently de-
clared on that stock would soon be fol-
lowed by another dividend of per cent,
which would practically put the Brooklyn
road upon a per cent basis.
Louisville and Nashville also continued
TO rise. reaching 1873, the highest point il
has attained since the panic of 1907, and
similar strength was displayed In Allan
tic Coast Line, which controls the former
road. because reports of earnings from
these two lines continue to be so encour-
