YAQUI RAIDERS |PERFECT CALM ~ |MILLIONAIRE MURDER WHITES Plunder and Burn a Ranch Near Minas Preitas After Putting Family to Death TWENTY REBELS KILLED Fifteen of Them Are Shot by Rescue Party and Five Taken Alive Are Lynched R, Epecigl Dispatch to T TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 14—Horton Jones, an American mining engineer, who has been living at Zubiate, Sonora, came in to-day bringing the first ac- count of Yaqui uprisings in the vicin- ity of that La Coiorado " and Minas Preitas. A family on the Cala- veras ranch, near Minas Preitas. was slaughtered by the Yaquis, and the place plundered and burned. The same band, numbering more than a hundred men, then attacked a neighboring ranch owned by Jesus Torres. Torres with his vaqueros held the savages at bay for two days, at the end of which time a paryy headed by Augustin Rivera, who was advised of the attack by a runner, went to their aid and succeeded in driving off the Indians, killing fif- teen of them and capturing five. The latter were strung up to a tree the next day. Herbert Woods, who returned from Sonora with Jones, was attacked by th Yaquis while on his way to Magdalen: He carrfed a grip on his saddle which the India must have believed co tained bullion. They surprised Wood by opening fire and killing his hor His Mexican boi nard then fled. leav- ing him to the mercy of the Indians. but when he handed over the grip and they found him to be an American they left him unharmed. He made his way to the camp, nearest ranch, where he was picked up by a party which had started out from Magdalena to recover his body. Woods and Jones say that they will not return to that section of Sonora until the Yaquis are conquered. B — - bombardment of buildings caused se- rious damage. The result of the bom- bardment of the Sevastopol has not been ascertained owing to the inclem- ent weather. DREAD WORK OF GRENADES. Horrible Spectacle in the Trenches of 310-Meter Hill. HEADQUARTERS OF NESE THIRD ARMY, BEFORE ORT ARTHUR, Dec. 14.—The work of removing the dead from the crest of 203-Meter Hill and from the siopes on the north side of the hill has been completed. The southern slopes are still covered with bodies, which are buried in the debris, in the trenches THE JAP- and in bombproof: The effect of dynamite, used as an offensive weapon in the form of a grenade, was instanced in an appalling manner by the condition of the dead Long lines of Japanese bodies laid out on a slope of the hill previous to in- terment presented an awful appear- ance. Nearly all had been horribly torn by the dynamite. An unrecognizable mass of flesh and bones, fragments of h@ndreds of killed, unearthed from the filled-in Russian trenches and piled up on a slope of the hill, presented a scene of horror never to be forgotten. The heavy timbers and steel plates of the bombproofs were torn to splin- ters by shells and dynamite bombs. IR o e | l COST OF SIEGE TO JAPAN. | Englishman Says Port Arthur Is Not Worth the Price. CHICAGO, Dec. 14.—“With the fall of Port Arthur the Russians will have achieved a great victory and the Jap- | anese will have lost a great opportu- nity-"In maintaining the siege the Jap- anese have lost 75,000 men. They will | lose 25,000 more before the fort falls, which probably will not be for month | As a matten of fact; when the Jzpan- | ese get Port Arthur they won't get much. They might have been doing greater work with their men elsewhere Thus General Stoessel, with 15,000 men, has worked wonders in decimat- ing the Japanese ranks.” So spoke Reginald Glossop of Hull, England, who" arrjved in Chicago to- day, after having been with the Jap- anese forces under General Nogi. “The only important fort thus far taken by the Japanese is 203-Meter HilL” he continued. “There are still sixteen, which will require the loss of many men to take, Liaotishan, the higher inner fort, is like the rock of Gibraltar. It will be a long time be- fore the Japanese take this.” A R PATTI'S RED CROSS CONCERT. . | Large Sum Netted at the Diva’s Very en and there is plenty of ammuni- Last “Farcewell.” | | | | | | | | FOOT-FORM-SHOE WOMEN I | S | 982 MARKET 57 | U <A N D |4'3 pDST ST, :ward outstanding for news of the!pacs earned ST.

The royal rescript convoking the | Diet was listened to attentively, and the house thereafter adjourned without the least attempt on the part of the opposition to renew the rioting of yes- terday. The orderliness of the proceed- ings was attributed to the absence of President Perczel. The opposition, under the leadership of Count Apponyi and Francis Kossuth, took possesion of the House as early as 6:30 o’clock this morning in consequence of the rumor that the Government pro- posed a sitting at 7 o’clock. The Depu- ties took up a strong position on the President’s platform, prepared to repe! any attempt of the guards to dispossess them. The latter, however, made no effort tc enter the Jouse, and on the assurances of Count Andrassy that President Perczel would not preside and that the guards would not enter the House, the platform was cleared. | Premier Tisza and the members of his Cabinet entered about o'clock and occupled the front bench, as all the ministerial armchairs had been de- stroyed. The members of the opposition par- ties have published a manifesto to the nation in justification of their action in removing the gendarmes from the chamber and destroying the President's chair, “from which the crime of No- | vember 18 against the constitution was committed.” They declare they will do | reached Washington that the newspa- pers of Sweden are discussing the prob- ability of Prince Gustaf Adolph.
