Indians who recently surrendered in
the state of Sonora.
The small bands of Yaqui Indians
remaining in the field will soon be

The Yaqui revolt in Sonora, which
has been the scene of fighting between
the Indians and government troops
for nearly a century. is considered
ended, since Matus and Espinosa had
the largest number Of followers. The
government has now turned it's at
tention to wiping out the small ba nds
which remain.
Since Saturday seven Gomez leaders
have faced the firing squad. The first
to die was Gomez himself. Fernando
Reyes and Silyanio Garcia were the
last. Their capture and execution was
announced by the government last
night. Reyes had long career as a
revolutionist, having fought with Villa
Garcia had led outlaw bands in the
hills of Vera Cruz for 10 years. -Four
other revolutionists were captured
with Gomez and executed.
Rebels Driven Out.
The government announced that
with the exception of Almeda and
Medina. no rebels remained in Vera
Cruz. where Gomez carried on his
activities. The scattering or killing
off of various groups of irregular
bandits is all that remains to be done
there, the government said.
