St. Loo's, Aag 2 -A special from Orita, Mes:., says : Any doubt that the Yaquis are on the war path in earnest was dispelled today wheo the news reached there taut several Ameri cans and Mexicans had been killed io Pueblos, or towns in the Yaqoi river valley, east aod southeast of this sta tion. Tba eoorisr who cs.me in with the news of the slaughter declares that he saw a desperate fight at a point forty miles southeast of Ortiz, acd thal be has positive evidence that J F Kern ley, a merchant of Hermosilo, aod . Miller, a photographer, were killed. W. W Marshall, a boc "ness mao of St. Louis, who is wall acquainted with tbe Yaqoi river valley io Mexico, has . jost returnee! from that region. He says tbe Indians live co land granted them by the Mexican gove mme at at the elose of toe ten year war io 1897. These lands, be states, are constantly being encroached opon by Mexicans, aod this, ie connection with tbe excite ment aroused by vigor os dancing which was going on when he left there, Sad led to tbe outbreak. There are five military posts is tbe lower valley which were garrisoned by about 1,500 troops wheo Mr. Marshall was there .wo weeks ago. Quite a comber of Americans live in two of these towns, bat Mr Marshall does not think they will be harmed, as the Iodises are very friendly to the Americans Folly 2 500 Indians are oo the war path, and as they are splendid fighters aod well armed, Mr. Marshall says the present Mexican force in their country is no match for tbe aa. Rein forcements are OD the way. Auburn, N Y., Aag. 2.-Oscar . Rice, a white oiao, aod John Kennedy, a negro, were pot to death by elec tricity io the prison here today.

Be was brought to the city and revived Tonight he is mach improved and the doctora look for complete recovery in time. Paris. Aag 3 -It appears that the minister of war, Gen the Marquis Gallifet, bas absolved all the military witnesses at the Court-martial of Capt. Breyf03 at Rennes from proies si on al secrecy, with the exception that be bas requested them not to divulge the names of French agents abroad or disclose anything which could complicate the foreign relations of France mmtm m * ---- . ' ? Camden, Aog 2 -The cotton buyers here, together with all others ever tbe county, are making a des perate fight against cylindrical cotton bales They propose to go all over tbe county and have ail the cotton presses altered so as to conform to a standard, thereby removing one of the objections to tbe present bale, and having all bales of a uniform size. The men fighting this cylindri cal bale are principally the present owners of compresses, whose ma chinery would be rendered useless if the new bale was introduced The cotton men will pay all the expeoees of changing the cotton presses Any ODS who has an eye on Georgia cac see that lynching is DO eure for crime, bat makes matters worse. Ooe who calmly reasons OD the subject oso foresee that the effect will be to increase lawlessness. We believe a majority of people have oe conception of the object of punish ment, and have never thoogbt of the difference, in effect, between punishment by law aod puisbment without law. The difficulty is briogiog these ideas to their attention is that the very strongest arguments against mob rule cannot be presented io the public prints without suggesting to criminals tbe condition most to be dreaded-Ches ter Lastern FLED FOR ASYLUM TO U. S. LEGATION. Haitian Officers Make Arrest Within Sacred Precincts. Port an Prince, Aug 2.-The po litical situation is causing anxiety. Numerous arrests have been made. Among those taken into custody are M. Doubillon, a former minister of the interior, and M. Du Vivier, a newspaper man Bu Vivier made stong resistance and succeeded in entering the United States legation, dragging with him the officers detail ed to take him into custody. The officers, however, were able to take their prisoner outside the legation doors The United States minister, Mr. Wm. E Powell, has entered a protest against the action of the officers and demands the release of the prisoner Eventually the Hay tien govern ment gave wey to the protest of Mr. Powell. Mr. Du Vivier was set at liberty and re entered the United States legation. The authorities continue to make arrests In addition to the promi nent persons before reported as hav ing been taken into custody is M Eoucb rd, formerly minister of nance. Many refugees have sought protec tion at the American legation, among them M Menos, some time ago min ister of foreign affairs The situation is grave. Vasbington, i og. 2.-The state department fully approve * of the action taken by United States Minis ter Powell at Port au Prince in en forcing respect for the sanctity of the United States legation Vi hat dis position will be made of the refugee is now a matter of interest, and the department is awaiting full informa tion from the minister as to the de tails of the affair. The general prac tice has been to discourage officials in granting asylum to fugitives from justice. What principally concerned the department was the breach of pro priety shown in making the arrest within the legation premises ; not the propriety of granting asylum. Toe San Domingo Uprising. Cape Haytien, Hay ti, August 3. It bas just bloome known that an armed insurrection bas broken oat at La Vega, a town 78 miles northwest of San Domingo, io favor of Jimincz, who aspires tc the presidency in suc cession to the late President Heureux. Later advices from the Dominican republio indicate that the revelation is growing in strength PROFIT IN GOATS. If you cannot do any better, raise goats. Whence the prejudice against the animal that furnished the wear ing appared of the early man 1 Goat statistics tell me that there are 90,000,000 goats ic the whole world and that the United States pay $25, 000,000 annually for imported kid. Every barron waste will make a superb goat farm. Goats thrive on briars and acorns. They eat the moss that clings to the shingles on the roof of the old house. Their bair makes a rope that is indestruct ible by water. Their meat, properly bandied, is as good as motton. Their milk is better than the milk of cows It makes the finest of cheeses, and are generally called "deer horn" or "buckhorn" for trade purposes A goat will butt its way through vicissitudes, while a sheep will pine and die Goats have no chronic diseases. Sheep have many. You can get a start at goat herding for a few dollars. You can buy one bock and 25 ewes for $65. The ewes breed twice a year, bringing forth the first time one kid, and afterward from two to four Averaging the increase at four, you will soon have a great herd. Sone ewes give a gallon of milk a day. I have a personal acquaintance with certain Harlem goats who are the sole consolation and comfort of my aged squatter friends. Their daily food is labels and theater bills, with paste for blackground The lazy negroes and poor white trash of the South should be required by iaw to herd goats It is an occupation that would suit their indolent dis positions as it suited the trifling shepherds of old, whose hardest toil was playing the quills and whooping The feed o one cow will keep a dozen goats The goat is just as likely to go to heaven as the sheep ; I believe he is more so, because be is more industrious and independent -New York Press.
