It appears that when the Indians were being pursued for the purpose of placing them under arrest they fired upon their would be captors, since they believed that they were making use of their own lands and woods.

dividend Of 70 per cent IS to be paid to the creditors of the defunct United States Banking company within a few days. This is the cheerful news authorized by the re- ceiver yesterday. Arrangements probably will be completed within ten days at most.
 Mexican Herald: Francisco 1. Madero stated last night that the Yaoui Indians who were shipped to Yucatan during the Diaz ad- ministration would be returned soon to the state of Sonora and their lands would be given back to them. Mir. Madero stated that he was informed that the government would carry out this plan of justice to the Indians without delay.
 Mexican Herald: Samuel L. Hampton will soon be set at liberty. He was sentenced yesterday after. noon to nine years imprisonment, buta as the term begins with March, 1907, half of his time has been served. The law allows prisoner to be set free at the end of half of his sentence in the event his con. duet has been above reproach and since Mir. Hampton has been re- comended for good behavior it appears that he shortly will be given the liberty of the city. The Hampton case which has been tried several times, has attracted wide attention during the last five years. He shot and killed a negro, Lige Paterson, September 25, 1906, in a cantina in la Calle de Buenavista, while under the influence of liquor.
 Mexican Herald: The plan of President F. de la Barra to estab. fish military government in the territory of Lower California and to appoint commission to study soil and climatic conditions there for the purpose of putting on foot a great colonization scheme in which MexiCans will be induced to settle in the country has met with the approval of the Mexican colony of Calexico, California. At a mass meeting of the Mexicans at Calex- leo held recently at which nearly all of the Mexicans in southern part Oi the state of California were represented, telegram was direct ed to President de la Barra ex- pressing confidence in him and his administration and approving the policy outlined for Lower Califor- mia.
 Mexican Herald: Indians of the neighborhood of Aiusco are asking for the return to them of the lands of their forefathers, and are insisting that, according to the plan of San Luis POtosi, and in conformity with the promises of the leader of the revolution, Francisco 1. Madero, they should come into the possession of land which belonged to their ancestors. Sucha declaration was made yes- uay in the office of the governor Ol the Federal District by the spokesman for body of fifty indians from Jalatlalco near Alosco. "Land, land is what we "aDt," said the Indian with a ges- .ure Of menancing import. It is I9laled that the revolutionary gTnlei' Joaquin Miranda, told the

the old wartime ardor, of the tremen-

Spottsylvania, where Capt. Christie
