WAR TO THE KNIFE WITH THE YAOUIS Mexican Army Opens the Ball To-Day.

Bo h Sides are Determined. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 7.—-A .special to the Republic from Austin, Texas, says: Information received here today, by private advices is to the effect that the Mexican army will open up active and continued warfare on the Yaqui Indians today. For a week the Mexican soldiers, already in the Yaqui territory, have Iwcii engaging the Indians until the main body of troops could be mobilized. In doing this, they have lost quite a number of their soldiers, while the Indians lost com paratively tew warriors. It was stated yesterday, however, that tin* .Mexican soldiers were about mobilized—at least, there are about 2,000 men on the field — and that is considered to be of sufficient force to justify the troops being moved into the* mountains, with instructions to push through and if possible extermin ate the Indians. The situation is worse even than it was during the lit years’ war. The Indians arc determined that they will tight until they regain every foot of the territory taken from them by the | treaty three years ago. and the Mexi ! can Government is determined to effect ually exterminate the Indians, so as to secure all the land front them and pre vent any further outbreaks. The Indians have already waded rather deep in blood, according to official ad vices, having killed something like one hundred miners and as many soldiers. With both sides thoroughly aroused, tin* war, which will opetn in earnest today promises lo Ik? prolonged. It is given out that, taking up the fine of march today, the Mexican troops will advance directly into the mountains and try to reach the fastnesses of the In dians. giving them no time to rest front the attack to another, in< the hope that by this procedure, they will lx* worn out in short onier and either surrender or all be killed.

Ben Odam, ! a prominent young man of this place ! ami John MeClinton, a negro, were j wounded in a fierce battle between the 1 nhite people and negroes living in the j vicinity of the Poo and Sampson Cotton ; Mills near here late last night. Odam was shot in the jaw and the mgro oe j sides being considerably bruised, was struck in the wrist by a bullet. J. C. j Couch, a white man had his suspenders j cut by a shot and his clothing was pierc | ed by (hree other bullets in his efforts to save Odam. j Four other negroes were wounded, but I being taken away immediately by their friends to avoid arrest, the natures of ; their injuries or their identity could not j be learned. Tack Moore, one of the gang who started the trouble is in jail. Yesterday afternoon while operative Greenberg, of the Poe Mill with his family were at the dining table several shots were fired into his ‘house.

Tack 'Moore was the only one captur ed. lie was placed in the county jail here.N Word was sent by messengers to the negro churches, and the couriers re ported that a negro had been lynched at the Poe Mill. The churches wen* soon deserted and the negroes arming them selves with shotguns, revolvers, axes and other dangerous implements went to the mill. The sheriff and chief of polka* could not persuade them that Moore was in jail and one of the number said, “we will kill the chief of police if ; Moore is lynched.” There were about I 25 negroes in the crowd and as many ! mill operatives armed with guns, gather i ed with the intention of dispersing tl'h* j negroes. The negroes attempted to ar ! rest four white men when the other : operatives came to their assistance and (he race riot continued for some time. In many places it was a hand to hand conflict.
