ARRIVE
AT SANFRANC|SCO
FROM MANzAN|LLO
Were Expelled From Their
Churches and Colleges in
Guadalajara by the Con-
stitutionalists.

San Francisco, Sept. 10.-Expelled
from colleges and churches Of Guada-
lajara by constitutionalists, As Spanish
and French Catholic priests and lay
brothers and As Sisters of the Sacred
Heart arrived yesterday in San Fran
cisco from Manzanillo aboard the Mex
lean steamer City of Mexico Fearing
humiliation by band of Yaqui Indians
reported to be riding on Manzanillo,
the refugees were taken on board on
the night of Sept. 1.
When they left Guadalajara illiterate
Yaquis were in possession of the Jesuit
and Marlst colleges there, toying with
the apparatus of the physical and
chemical laboratories and tossing val
liable folios and furniture out the Win
dows. A piano brought 10 pesos at a
street sale, and a rare folio one peso.
Nor was the daiety immune. Father
Gerard de Corme. president of the COL
lege of the Society of Jesus, estimated
that 100000 was collected in two
levies laid upon the wealthy. Their
carriages were commandeered by the
Yaquis who rode about the city in
boisterous delight
AS soon as the constitutionalists en-
tered Guadalajara they confiscated the
property of the colleges, threw the
priests, on charges of conspiracy, into
solitary confinement where they were
held six days by order of General Man
uel Dieguez. governor of the state OF
Jalisco, and sequestrated the nuns in
private houses, where they were kept
under surveillance.
Apart from their Imprisonment, the
priests and sisters said they were
treated If not with respect, with some
consideration No brutality was shown.

Material Aid From French.
"On the 27th and the 2sth / was
much indebted to General Sordet and
the French cavalry division, which he
commands, for materially assisting my
retirement and successfully driving
back some of the enemy on Cambria.
General d'Amade also. with the 61st
and 62nd reserve divisions moved
down from the neighborhood Of Arras
on the enemy's right flank and took
much pressure Off the rear OF the Brit
ish forces.
This closed the period covering the
heavy fighting which commenced at
Mons Aug. %. and which really con-
stituted four days battle.
II deeply deplore the serious losses
which the British forces suffered in
this great battle, but they were newt
able in view of the fact that the Brit
ish army-only a few days after con-
centration by rail-was called on to
withstand the vigorous attack of ffve
German army corps.
TT ID impossible for me TO speak
too highly of the skill evidenced by the
corps. the sacrificing and devot-
ed exertions of their STATS. and the
magnificent fighting spirit displayed
by the nom commissioned officers and
men.
Il wish particularly to bring to your
lordship's notice the admirable work
done by the Royal Flying corps under
Sir David Henderson. Their skill,
energy and perseverance has been be-
yond all praise. They were fired at
constantly by both friend and foe. and
not hesitating to fly IN every kind OF
weather. they have remained undaunt-
ed throughout. Further, by actual
fighting they destroyed Ave of the en-
emys machines
II wish to acknowledge with deep
gratitude the incalculable assistance
received from the general and per-
sonal STATS at headquarters during this
trying period. Lieutenant General Sir
Archibald Murray, chief of the gem
eral staff; Major General Wilson, sub
chief OF the general staff. and all under
them, have worked day and night I'M
ceasingly with the utmost skill, self
sacrifice and devotion, and the same
acknowledgment is due by me to Bril-
gadier General. the Honorable w.
i~tbiihbtOH, MY ScCTctdIys anu
personal STAFF.
TN such operations as have de-
scribed the work OF the quarter master
general is OF an extremely onerous ma
ture. Major General Sir william
Robertson has met what appeared to be
almost insuperable difficulties with
characteristic energy, skill and deter
mination.
Major General Sir Neville Mac
Ready. adjutant general. has also been
confronted with the most onerous and
difficult task in connection with dis
ciplinary arrangements and prepare
lions of casualty lists. He has not been
able TO complete the list OF officers
whose names I desire to bring to your
lordship's notice for services rendered
during the period under review, and as
1 understand 1t is OF Importance that
this dispatch should no longer be de-
layed. l propose to forward this list
separately as soon as | can.

"At daybreak 1t became apparent

the guns of four German army corps
were in position against them, and Sir
Horace Smith Dorrien reported that he
judged it impossible to continue his
