THE YAQUI INDIANS.
The Situation In Mexico Is Growing
Worse.
AUSTIN, Sept. 26.—Judging from re-
ports reaching here from Oritiz, state of
Sonora, Mexico, the Yaqui Indian war~
fare is rapidly growing worse instead of
abating. Lieutenant Majeran has arriv-
ed at Torres on his way to the City of
Mexico to make official reports as to the
progress of the campaign. He says there
has been no cessation in the warfare be-
ing waged against the Indians by the
Mexican government. He reports that
the Indians have scattered into small
hands and are now vigorously waging a
guerrilla warfare and that the Mexican
soldiers have adopted similar tactics:
They are divided into small scouting par—
ties, and there are frequent engagements
between the soldiers and the Indians.
The Indians avoid open engagements
with the soldiers, rather harassing them '
with attacks from secure positions in the
mountains and along the rough mountain
roads, not infrequently causing much loss
of life among the soldiers with little
harm to themselves.
General Torres, in command of the
Mexican troops, asks the Mexican war
. department to send a force of rurales to
assist him, and it is thought they can
render very effective service against the
Indians. The Yaquis hold the rurales in
great dread, as they are their old time
enemies and a most formidable foe.
During the past ten days a great many
miners have arrived at Oritiz, having
been driven out of the mountains by the
threatening situation, and all bear tales
of murder and bloodshed. Dozens of
skirmish fights have resulted in a number
of soldiers and Indians being killed, and
several miners have lost their lives.
Many of them have deserted paying
mines in order to save their lives. The
entire country tributary to the uprising
is in a state of foment, and all the Amer-
icans are leaving as rapidly as possible.
Dividing the soldiers into small squads
scatters the war over a wider range of
mountain territory, and every section of
the Yaqui country is terrorized.
Enlistments Increase.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—The en-
listments Saturday numbered 612, mak-
ing a total of 9.843 for the 12 regiments.
The five leading regiments are the Thir-

Neb.. 1,323: Forty—fourth, Fort Leaven-
worth, 1.022; Forty-fifth. Fort Snelling,

SCHEURER-KESTNER. PRAISE-D. '
A. 'Wreuth From Dreyfus: Placed; on
the Dead Man’s Coffin.
PARIS, Sept. 26.—Upon the occasion
yesterday of the funeral of M. Scheurer-
Kcstner, ‘ former vice president, of the.
French senate, who. died Sept. 20, the .
day pardon was granted to former Cap-
tam Dreyfus, whose steadfast: champion
he had been from the outset of the re—
vision movement. several speeches were
delivered at the Eastern railroad station.
M. Henri Brisson, former premier. who
was greeted with loud cheers, said he'
had always reverenced the noble figure-of
Scheurer-Kestner, who was a soldier of
justice and who all his life combated, the
plebiscitary regime, which had been so
fatal to France.
Senator Arthur Ranc, RepubliCan Rad'-
ical. who is president of the Association
of Republican Journalists, also extolled
the deceased, by whom, he said. the
greatest error had been repaired- and- the
fair fame of France saved.
0n the termination of the ceremony
the spectators cheered M. Brissqp and
surrounded his carriage, crying, “V ive la
republique!” M. Brisson, who was much
affected, replied:
“Yes, my friends- Let us love the re-
public, but let us not cease to defend it.”
Colonel Picquart, who was among the
spectators, was received with loud cries
of “Vive Picquart!” and “Vive la repub-
lique!” ’
The Figaro says that among the nu-
merouswreaths upon the coffin was one
bearing the inscription, “To Scheurer-
Kestner—Infinite Gratitude,” and signed
in small letters, “Alfred Dreyfus..'”
Highlanders Cannot Comer. ‘ i
TORONTO, Sept. 26.——A special dis-E
patch from Ottawa to The Telegram |
says Major General Hutton, general ofli- '
cer commanding the, Canadian militia, de- l
nied most emphatically the request of
the Highlanders to visit New York and
take part in the parade in honor of Ad-
miral Dewey. The application was not
even referred to the council by whom
permission to a regiment to go into a for-
eign country must be authorized. In re-
fusing General Hutton says: “Whilst we I
have the friendliest feelings toward the;
United States, this is. not a celebration in E
l honor of the navy or of the admiral, but 9
of his victories over a power with which ,
Great Britain is friendly. The applied
tion is preposterous.”
