GUAYMAS, Mexico, Sept. 2.—A special dispatch to mas newspaper, coming from San Jose runner ar- rived there bringing news of a bloody Correo de Sonora, a Guay- de Guaymas, states that a fight near the Sur del Tezal ranch on Monday between a band of Yaqui Indians and fourteen cowboys, under the leader- ship of Jose Diaz, the proprietor of that section. The report says that many Indians, one cowboy and Alejandro Diaz, the son of the leader, were Killed in the engagement. A number of bodies of Indians were found and more are believed to have been fatally shot. The Mexican party had gone in pursuit and the whole party narrowly escaped be- ing massacred. Their leader kept a cool head and this alone saved him, for the men took courage and fought fiercely to e themselves from the howling sav- ages. FIGHT IN MOUNTAINS. Diaz learned of the presence of the Yaquis in the country from one of the men whom they attacked and pursued, at once recruited an attacking party from among his cowboys and went in the direc- tion of the place where the Indians had been The Yaquis had fled range of mountains several miles back of the ranch, where they were strongly in- trenched, there being about twenty-five seen. icans could estimate. The Indians sent out a handful of men to decoy thie unsuspecting cowboys, who believed they composed the entire party. When attacked the Indians fled in the direction of the spot where their com- rades were intrenched, and in this way Diaz and his men were drawn into the trap. . A hot fire was poured in upon them from all sides and they would have be- come completely demoralized but for Diaz, who rallied his horsemen after their first canyon. HAND-TO-HAND STRIFE. After hand-to-hand conflicts with the Indians the cowboys succeeded in reach- ing open ground, where they soon proved their superfority and compelled the In- dians to seck cover. They had lést only two of their party, but the son of their patron was among the slain. They had experienced a hard fight, and although they had come out victorious, Diaz and his men felt no inclination to follow the Indians back again into the hills. They retreated to the ranch, from which a messenger was sent out summoning aid. As soon as the news of the fight reached Guaymas Federal forces of the militia district were ordered to go in pursuit of the Indians. It is thought that the Yaquis exhausted their supply of ammunition in the fight and the soldlers expect to have little difficulty in breaking up the band, BARON DE ROTHSCHILD SENTENCED IN A COURT Paris Magistrate Finds Him Guilty of Violating the Automo- bile Law.

OFIA, Sept. 2—The report published by the Dnevik of a general uprising in Northern Macedonia is pronounced in both offictal and revolutionary circles to be untrue. Well-informed per- sons, however, assert that the report was correct, but that its premature publica- tion disarranged the plans of the revolu- tionists and therefore it is dgnied. According to reliable reports from Man- as.’-, thousands of Bulgarians in that vilayet are confronted with famine in ad- dition to Turkish persecution. Peasants who are continually arriving from Mon- astir complain of the attitude of Hilmi Pasha and the Turkish atrocities. The news is published here of an eight- hour fight which occurred at Smilovo Au- gust 26 between 500 insurgents and eight battalions of Turkish troops supported by artillery. Thirty-five insurgents are re- ported to have been killed, while sixty Turks were killed or wounded. On the following day the Turks returned and burned the village. Seven other villages in the neighborhood are sald to have been burned by the Turks. The insurgents in the district of Adri- anople appear to be less active. The Turks are poyring in in overwhelming force and the revolutionaries are taking refuge in the mountains. The Bulgarian leader Gergicoff has been wounded. The Russian Government has declined Destruction of a City in the Region of the Sultan’s Capital Said «iiled, a total of twenty-nine Ji to Have Been Accomplished by -Rebels. . ONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 2.—The Porte has sent a note to the foreign embassies and le- gations, informing them that, according to police information, the Bulgarian agitators are projecting outrages against the embassies, legations and other public buildings in Constanti- nople. The note says the Ottoman Government has taken precautions and requests the heads of the foreign missions to do likewise. to receive the visit of the deputation of Macedonian fugitives in Bulgaria, who proposed to go to St. Petersburg and in- form the Czar of the pitiable condition of Macedonia and beg for his intervention. The deputation has been informed that the Russian Government deems the visit unnecessary, as it. quite understands the purpose of the deputation. The insurgents, It is reported, have cap- tured the seaport of Autoboly, on the Black Sea, and the Turkish population has fled to Constantinople. The insur- gents have organized a local government at the seaport and are giving ships their clearing papers and sanitary certificates. The Dnevik continues to report numer- ous outrages on the part of the Turkish soldiers In a number of villages. ‘| The Vaskapyu belonge: (O:N 8 FANTINQPLE, Sept. “2.—Three "explo- sions accurred to-day on’ the - "Austrian -steamier rian port.of -Burgas; er rotite _ 1 for Constantmeple; ‘and; twenty=, | nine persons: perished. .
