PRESCOTT, Oct 19.-Claiming to again have received a revelation from the Great Spirit, this time that they are to take neither food nor drink until told to do so, the Molokans, sent to the Yavapai county jail for refusing to reg lster. have gone without sustenance since last Saturday and are now on the verge of physical breakdown. The Mol okans were sent up from Glendale af- ter they had refused to register be cause they said that one of their secl had received a revelation from tn, Great Spirit which instructed them no uuired. All of their young men were sentenced for this breach of the law and have been in the YaVapai county jail ever since.
 The Molokans refuse to explain tn, cause of the spirits order but persis ln obeying it. According to their owl. wishes their food has been prepared and served by one of their own num- ter. They claim the spirit is not sat asfied with the food and say they vii  jail authorities have endeavored in e1 cry way to get the Molokans to eat bu to no avail.
 According to their religious custom, all the food they eat must he prepared by a member of their sect. When sen tence was pronounced by Judge Saw telIe their only worry seemed to be the difficulty that would be experienced through the food problem. Consequent ly, the court ordered that they be ali lowed to prepare their own food. While the prisoners were confined in the Mar lcopa county jail awaiting trial rela- IIVeS and friends from the Russian col uny, north of Glendale, supplied then with all the food they consumed
 in passing sentence, Judge Sawtelle futimated that if the men showed themselves well behaved for a period O. 60 days, he would consider the questoi uf paroling them.
 According to a communication re- coived yesterday by J. P. Dillon, United States marshal from Sheriff J. F.

In the letter whlcf was written on Wednesday Sherlfi Young stated that the men had no eaten since Sunday.
 The Yavapai county sheriff stated that he had requested the Molokans several times to have their cooks pre- pare their meals, but claims that they informed him that the Spirits had dl- Aected them not to eat any food.
