Word has been received 3t Gudy- mas that the treaty made between the Yaqui delegation and the fed eral government regarding the pacl- fication of the Indians and their al- lotment of lands in the Yaqu! river valley, has come to naught as the tribe now encamped in the Baca- tete mountains does not look upon the actions of their delegates with
 Upon their arrival here lney VIII favor This probably wipes out all efforts which have been made by the government regarding the paci- ficatiOn of the tribe and returns the state of affairs 10 exactly the same position in which it was at the termination of the late reyolu- tion
 It is expected here that General B. J. Vnjoen, the peace commission CT appointed by the government viii arrive in this city on his way to the Baccatete mountains some time next week. It is possible that the Indians do not understand the treaty as it really exists and hopes are held out that they will yet ac- cept the actions Of the delegation, which they sent to Mexico City 70 form the treaty
 At the time the delegation was sent the tribe declared that they would abide by the treaty formed by the Indians and President Ma dero. When the treaty was made several weeks ago at the national capital the delegates made the sign of the cross, which to them is said to be far more binding to them than all of the signatures in the world.
 According to the terms of the treaty the government gives to the Indians all land belonging to the na- tional government in the jurisdic ton of the towns of Torin, Nicam, Potam and Raham as well as the Vicam canal The land is 10 be broken for cultivation by the Yaquis who are to receive Sl a day for their services As soon as the irri- gation canals have been construct ed the land is to be divided among the Indians as follows: Each couple when they marry is 10 receive three hectares; each person reaching his or her majority to receive two hec- taTes and each minor is to receive one hectare which is two and one hah ceres. The lands are not to be sold, mortgaged or disposed of with in the ensuing thirty years.
 If the land in these townships are not sufficient for the tribe the gov ernment is under obligations 70 pur- chase nearby lands for the Indians.
 Want all Basin.
 The Indians are now claiming all the lands of the YaqUi river valley which include eight towns with pop ulations ranging from 150 10 5000 inhabitants. Many of these towns have modern business buildings and several banks It is believed that 1t would be an impOssibility 10 re- move the Mexican settlers from these places as the expenses would ruH up into the millions and doubt less mSur much bloodshed.
 In granting the Indians the land near the Pacific at the mouth of the river and embracing the four towns agreed upon. the government has already obligated itself to buy land from settlers which will cost more than a million and a half pe- sos One ranch of 1000 acres being valued at more than s15O,OOO
 More than 1500 well-armed fight ing men of the Yaqui tribe are at present encamped in the Vacatete range These are the men who do not propose to accept the treaty made by their delegation sent to the capital Only forty-fiye miles away there is an encampment con sisting Of 300 men aside from their families These have agreed to the treaty and desire to be left in peace
 They have sent a request for pro tection from their trlbe in the noun tai1s, declaring that they are afraid that they will be wiped out by the Indians Tlo refuse to accept the treaty
