UPRISING OF MAYA
Indians Is SERIOUS
Inaugurated Outbreak in Typ
ical Indian Style
1T is SAID FULLY 5000 IN ARMS
Have Secured Complete Possession
of Whole District. Indians Had
Been Treated Almost as
Slaves. Are Intelligent.

New misunderstanding to the
meager advices received from the
late of Yucatan, in Mexico, the up
rising Of the Mayo Indians is the
most serious affair of the kind the
Mexican government has had to cope
with in many years. 1t Is said that
fully 5000 Maya Indians are in
arms and have secured rifles and am
munition from British Honduras.
They are said to be REINFORCED by
the number of Yaqui Indians that
the government caused to be trans
ported from the Northwest some
years ago to work on the hemp plan
tations of Yucatan.
The Mayas inaugurated their out
break in typical Indian style by MUIR
dering the authorities and all who
resisted them or stood in their way.
The have secured possession Of a
whole district, and a large force OF
government troops will be necessary
to dislodge them. They are reputed
to be more intelligent than the other
types Of Indians in Mexico and they
form the bulk of the native popula-
ton of Yucatan.
Although a state of the Republic
of Mexico, Yucatan has always shown
more or less of an Independent spir-
it, and the Mexican Government has
never felt entirely confident of just
how far it could go in the admins
tration of law. The worst grievance
that the natives have is the practi-
cally enforced labor on the planta-
TONS Owing to the necessity for
very cheap labor, the planters force
the natives to work on the planta-
lions at a very low wage and treat
them little If any better than slaves.

PARR TO BE REWARDED.

upon the safety which he demands
for his investment.
Congress will be asked to make an

afford to do that, for through the

ANOTHER REVOLT
IN HONDURAS
Many Americans Said to Be TAX
Ing Part In Uprising

New Orleans, Dec. 30.--Advices re-
ccived here say that revolution has
broken out in Honduras and fighting
is going on along the Honduran-Nica-
raguan border twenty miles below
Cape Gracias, Nicaragua.
The forces are led, according to the
wireless reports, by General Lee
Christmas, who was to have met 1000
men, many of them Americans, on the
Nicaraguan border with forty days
provisions.
1t Is known that the Davila govern
ment moved S55,000 in silver from
Puerto Cortez to Ceiba and the latter
city is believed to be the objective
point of the advancing revohtionists.
The reports indicate that the greater
part of the fighting Is about twenty
miles from Cape Gracias, Nicaragua,
but on the Honduran side. 1t is under
stood that the plan of attack is for
Christmas to force his way inland
while General Bonilla attacks Ceiba
from the Puerto Cortez side, leaving
the Hirnet. which is said to be heavily
armed, at Puerto Cortez, while that
port is held under her guns.
