their own, as has been the opinion
for some time. They have suffered
losses again and again caused by
small hawdll hands in the past in a
most ’uncomplaining manner, but
now they have reached the limit of
endurance and all the men who are
able to bear arms are enlisting as
volunteers to protect their property,
their homes and their means of live-
lihood. All demand arms and am-
munition and Ihe state has been ap-
pealed to to furnish them. This Is
Impossible to any great extent a* all
means of communication between the
capital and the river towns has been
destroyed by the rebels. A few days
ago a small shipment of arms and
ammunition was received in Cananea,
and this probably will be sent lo the
volunteers to the south.
Hallway Depredations.
Conditions along the Sonora rail-
road do not seem to he Improving to
any extent, in fact. It looks more seri-
ous at present than during the last
week. Bridges continue to be burn-
ed; the rebels are keeping up their
depredations along the railroad and
the federals seem to he making hut
little headway. In fact there has been
hut little success accompanying their
efforts to retard the advancing Insur-
reetos. It is now reported that a
party of several hundred are now on
the way to the Altar district and
many of the small towns In that lo-
cality are fearing attack by the reb-
els.
A large number of the people in tho
affected portion of the state have al-
ready left for the States, going to Ari-
zona points principally, while others
go to California points. Magdalena
has suffered an exodus, as well as
Santa Ana and other railroad points.
Tw o bridges were destroyed between
Magdalena and Santa Ana on Tuesday
morning and trains are now unable to
go further south than Magdalena.
Federals After Keitel*.
Federal troops are reported to be
at the rear of the rebels, having been
sent from lai Colnrada, HermosIMo
and Ci*s. and on the latter portion
of the week a train conveying troopa
from the 27th hattallon and 22nd ru-
rales was sent south from Magdalena
The rebels were then reported to he
In the vicinity of Querlbabl, 167 kilo-
meters south of Nogales. If it was
the rebels that burned the bridges be-
low Magdalena, and north of Santa |
Ana, they must be within ahout 10(1
kilometers from Nogales, which la
*aid to be the destination of the rebel
governor of Sonora. Mascarenas, who
has made Ihe boast that he would be
in his home town, Nogales. Son., on
September 16.
The troops leaving Magdalena last
week took with them six cannon and
eight machine guns.
Magdalena Conditions.
Colonel Juan G. Cabral of the gen-
darmes fiscal and his men are at
present the garrison of Magdalena, be-
ing aseisted by volunteers which have
enlisted during the week. At a meet-
ings in the town plaza recently pre-
parations were planned for the de-
fense of the town agalnat attack. Sub-
scription lists were circulated for the
purpose of raising money with which
to purchase supplies for the volun-
teers. Cabral and his men are *gld
to be in command of all the strategic
points about the city, while he is also
having the surrounding country pa-
trolled for some miles.

Temperance In Navies.
(From the San Francisco Chronicle )
Bear Admiral Von Reheur-Paech-

nelius Vanderbilt In New York to
the visiting German naval officers,
spoke of the Improvement in the
naval tone of the world's navies.

"There has been a special improve-
ment." he said, “in the matter of tem-
perance. The modern sailor is as
temperate as the modern judge. I
fear It wasn’t always so."
With a smile the rear admiral re-
sumed:
"They tell a story about a naval
lieutenant of the old school who, af-
ter a very wet evening, an evening
noisy with the popping of the cham-
palgne corks, awoke tho next morn-
ing In Ihe midst of the battle,
"He listened smiling to the hang-
bang of the guns, then shouted:
“HI, steward, bring me three or
four bottles before these pigs finish
them all up."

his horses to the hills for safety.
It was reported that another force

William Lyon Phelps. Yale s bril-

"Some words," he said, "Wave a

The police were notified, ar.d In turn
they notified Justice E. B. Mc-CJin-
toek. Upon the Investigation of the
coroner It was found that the man
had shot himself through the mouth,
the hail coming out In the back of his
head. It Is supposed that he closed
his mouth over the end of the barrel'
of the pistol and deadened the report.
His body was found stretched out on
the bed, feet together and one hand
at his side. The other hand lying
across his stomach clasping the pistol
that took his life.
Oles was about thirty years of age
and had been In the service twelve
years.
He Is known to have been reliable
and steady as a soldier..* in the Phil-
ippine Islands It Is said, he showed
remarkable courage and bravery. Ac-
cording to comrades, he never drank
and was very quiet and reserved at
all limes. He never talked of his
family affairs to anyone, but his
closest friends said last night that
they do not believe any domestic
trouble caused the man's fatal action.

Mayor Garnor at Washington Mar-

New York had come to do their mar-
keting as a protest against the high
prices of the shops, said with a smile
to a group of elegant protestants:
“You women are wise to make this
protest. You must show the provision
dealers that It won't do to be too pig-
gish. Show them that piggtshness like
that of C'apt. Salt is not the touchstone
of success.
"Capt. Salt once behaved with con-
siderable heroism in a collision at sea.
and his company wished to present
him with a gold watch. Accordingly
Salt was Invited to a board meeting,
and there, in a luxurious room on the
thirteenth story of a skyscraper, amid
a throng of milltanaires with white
side-whiskers, a superb gold watch
was duly presented to the mariner In a
neat speech.
"And how did Capt. Salt receive that
beautiful watch? He took It in his big
red hand, frowned, and said:
'* 'Where's the chain that goes with
it?”’
