NOGALES. Ariz., June 26.-Reports
from Washington OF Governor Maytor-
ena,s troops defeating the Yaqui ana
MAYO Indians, who are on the war
path. did not receive credence here
tonight. Maytorena's action IN SEND
ing his daughter from Guaymas to THIS
city did not seem to indicate con-
dence on the Mexican governors part.
There were many wild rumors but
no authentic reports concerning the
situation at Esperanza, the American
colony, said to be practically besieseo
by Indians. No attempt has oeen
made to restore wires cut by tne
marauders. Americans crossing the
border told Of having heard the IN
dams were torturing and mutiiatlhs
prisoners. The Yaquis seemed to nave
an especial hatred for Mexicans: OF
whom they have undoubtedly Killed
many.
