FIND WILD INDIAN BAND.
Scientists Discover Savage Tribe
Thought Wiped Out in 1870.

San Francisco-An anthropological
expedition from the university of Cali
fornia, under Professor Kroeber, has
reported the discovery of remnants of
supposedly extinct tribe of Califor-
MIA Indians near the headwaters of the
Sacramento river.
The rest of the tribe, the Kombos,
were exterminated in raid in 1870,
the settlers of Northern California
having been aroused by the depreda-
lions of the Indians, who were hunted
down and massacred
According to the members of the
expedition, which returned from the
North, recently, there are about 20 in
the tribe at present. They were iden-
titled by arrowheads and other imple-
ments found in their camps, although
the Indians themselves were too wild
to be approached
The university will try to have them
rounded up by a troop of United
States cavalry in order that their
language and ancient customs may be
studied in the interest of ethnology.
Numerous reports from sheepmen in
Tehama county that sheep had been
found killed by arrows led to the
search for the tribe.

Troops Off to Hawaii

San Francisco, March 21.--Two bat
talions of the Second United States in
fantry, Colonel Francisco w. Mansfield
commanding, arrived here today and
went aboard the transport Crook,
which will sail for Honolulu immedi-
ately. The regiment will form the
regular command at Fort Shafter when
the Third battalion arrives there.
Officers of the regiment denied that
the mission of the Second in Honolulu
is out of the regular routine. The
present move was decided upon to es-
tablish the military district of Hawaii.

Grazing Rules Get o. x.

Washington-Revised grazing reg
ulations governing the use of the ma
tional forest ranges have been APP
proved by Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson. They provide for recognition
of a permanent national advisory
board representing the sheep and cat
tie interests, which will confer annu-
ally with the secretary of agriculture
concerning grazing matters and estab-
lish rule that in forests where the
quality of the range and advantages for
raising cattle and sheep are equal the
year long, rate for sheep after the
season of 1911 will be 80 per cent of
the year long rate for cattle.

SHELLS SINK BATTLEsHIp.
Antiquated Monster Destroyed BY
More Modern Sisters.

On Board Torpedo Boat Stringham,
Shattered by storm of shell, the old
battleship Texas, now the San Marcos,
rests tonight in the mud of Tangier
sound. The veteran of the United
States navy sank under the spectacu-
lar Workmanship of her newer sis
tiers.
Gaping holes in her port side and
two jagged wounds in her forward
armor, where shells passed completely
through her, showed how she sue
cumbed. Part of both her fighting
masts were shot away and her deck
was mass of debris.
The broadsides delivered by the
battleship New Hampshire at varying
distances OF six to seven and one-half
miles were considered remarkable by
ordnance officers. More than one
third of the shots were said to have
gone through, although nothing official
was given out.
A half hour after the sun had risen
the first shot was fired This was fol-
lowed by another, but both were
merely to determine the range. Then
began beautiful exhibition of marks
manship. A salvo directed near the
stern of the Texas raised huge col
umns of water and deluged the vessel,
leaving her unscathed
Then, to show the control of the IL
and 8-inch guns, another hail of shells
was dropped into the water immedia-
tely in front of the ship. The miss
was intentional, but the shells came
so close as to give rise at first to the
belief that the first hit had been made
The shooting then began in earnest.
The New Hampshire, followed by
the battleship Mississippi $50 yards in
her wake, drew off approximately sew
en- and one-half miles and began firing.
All of the broadsides were delivered
against the Texas while the attacking
vessel was steaming back and forth
along the line at ten-knot speed.
After the seventh broadside the
Texas plainly was in distress. Two
naval tugs that lay alongside the mon
itor Tallahassee, on which were sta
toned the naval observers, raced to
her assistance. The shells presumably
had set the vessel afre, for the hose
was run over the sides and the engines
were set to work pumping. She also
had been driven out of broadside range
by the force of the New Hampshire s
shells, and the tugs Strengthened her
out for her further ordeal.
Twice afterward shells set the hulk
afire.
What was practically the finishing
blow came with the 10Th broadside,
when four of the 12-inch and four
8-inch shells were hurled at her just
as the sun was setting The shots
poured so thick around her that it was
impossible to determine how many of
the eight struck the vessel.

Rain prenches Soldiers

Galveston, Tex, March 21.-Rain
fell in torrents at Fort Crockett last
night and almost flooded out the $500
soldiers who arrived yesterday from
the North on transports and spent the
night under the shelter of their dog
tents. Several large tents were blown
down and the smaller ones that stood
were rendered practically uninhabit-
able. Though most of the soldiers
were soaked to the skin, they came up
smiling when reveille sounded this
morning and entered with enthusiasm
into the work of setting camp in order.

French Treaty Eorssssn.

Paris - Conversations have been
held betweebn President Taft and Nj.
Jusserand. French ambassador at
Washington, respecting a comprehen-
sive agreement for arbitration be-
tween the United Safes and France.
These conferences are considered un-
official, but as preparing the way for
a treaty similar to that proposed be-
tween England and the United States.
1t is unlikely that the matter will
take the form of official exchange until
the outcome of the Anglo-American
proposals is seen.

TROOPS ASSEMBLE QUICKLY
Movement to Mexican Border Com
pIeted In Ten Days.


pleted In Ten Days.
Washington - The general staff is
proud Of the degree of success at
tanned in the effort to mobilize an
army division in Texas, and have made
public the facts, as gathered by the
army inspectors, on which the record
was made.
Instead of occupying go days, as
had been predicted in some quarters.
the entire movement was completed
in ten days. Within 18 hours after
orders were received on March 6, the
Tenth infantry was entrained at Fort
Benjamin Harrison, Idniana. The
Fourth field artillery was the last to
board the cars at Fort ID. A. Russell,
Wyoming, but that was because of
the inability of the railroads to get
coaches TO that point promptly.
The Seventeenth infantry, from
Fort Mcpherson, Ca, was the first or
ganization to reach San Antonio, and
IL was in camp, under canvas, three
and half days after orders. The
troops from Fort Myer, Va, had the
greatest distance TO travel, IT'S miles,
and they averaged rs miles an hour.

San Francisco - The concluding
chapter In the history Of one Of Me-
vada's most famous mines was begun
here Saturday by the filing Of a pet =
ton asking for the dissolution Of the
Monte Cristo Silver Mining company.
The company was Incorporated in 1868
with capital Of 81. 500. 900 to opera,e
a mine in Storey county. Nevada. In
1878 the capital was increased 70 $40. =
600, 600, as the mine bad proved TO be
one Of the richest producers in the
state. The petition just field recites
that the mine is no longer productive.

PEACE IN PROSPECT.
Rebels Viii Suspend Operations If
Reforms Are Granted.

Washington, March 81. = Peace is
assured in Mexico within a week if
certain influences now at work toward
that end prove effective. With the
arrival in Mexico City of Senior Jose
Yves Limantour, minister of finance,
President Diaz will begin conferences,
which it is expected will result in the
announcement within three or four
days of the reorganization of the cab
met.
Minister Limantour will present an
explanation of the demands of the rev.
olutionists and the changes in the Off
cial family of President Diaz as we'll
as the institution of reforms which are
expected to appease the insurgents.
In the meantime, President Taft,
who arrives here tomorrow morning
from Augusta, Ca, will confer with
Ambassador de la Barra, and there is
good grounds for the assumption that
the troops now concentrated in Texas
Immediately will begin a series of
hhohC0NCAot ditd Will ACbuIu SuOIblY 10
their posts. In addition, when con-
ditions are normal in Mexico, a com
plete statement of the consideration
that actuated the mobilization of
troops will be issued.
Hope for the coming of peace in
Mexico is strengthened by the manner
in which the revolutionists have COM
mented on the magazine article of
Ambassador de la Barra and the signi-
ficant spirit of expectancy with which
the results of Senior Limantour's con-
ferences in Mexico City this week are
awaited by organs of insurgent senti-
ments.
Not single adverse comment was
recorded in Mexican newspapers I'd
the proposal of the Mexican ambassa-
dor that all classes in Mexico unite for
the promotion of national unity.
The insurgents have taken the stand
that their operations have proved they
are willing to risk great deal to Sc
cure the adoption of certain reforms
in the government, and if not granted
will continue the strife.
The dissatisfaction in Mexico,
though most conspicuous in Chihuahua,
has not been confined to that state and
serious outbreaks in other states have
been prevented by the. promises of
early changes in administration.

tour Will Be Replaced.
Mexico City, Mex, March 25.-Fol-
lowing q meeting of the cabinet today
every member Of that body rendered
his resignation to President Diaz.
As yet none of the designations has
been accepted, but on excellent au-
thority it is said that but two Of them
possibly not more than one--will be
asked 10 remain in the portfolio. In
diplomatic circles 1t is assumed that
Diaz will insist upon Jose Yves Ii
mantour remaining in charge Of the
department of finance. Members Of
the cabinet refuse 70 comment upon
their action, but II is said that the
united stand was taken not by them.
but by the president, who, 1t is be-
lieved, proposes 10 surround himself
with younger men. in the hope that
such action will serve TO unite all ele-
ments Of the nation.
II is probable that the acceptance of
the designations will be coincident
with the announcement Of the names
Of the new ministers. Who will COM
pose the new cabinet Is not known,
but II may be said they will be men
who have not taken a leading part in
the government affairs. Neither will
IL include any who have been identified
with the revolutionary movement in
stituted by Madero.

patched as heretofore, and arrange
ments will be made for limited de-
livery through the general delivery
windows.
Special delivery letters will be de-
livered and patrons of any Office will be
afforded the privilege Of having their
mail delivered on Sunday by deposit
ing the required fee for special de-

into effect these ideas and to afford
