Chicago, Auguat A—/ special to the Tribune from the Cltt of Mexico Bays: Dispatches from Guaymas show the Yaqul Insurrection fs constantly growing in extent and all of the Indians are rising and taking to the woods and mountains, to Join their companions already arrayed against the authorities. Jack Ramsey, the famous frontier character, and the American photographer, Ed Miller, were on the way to Alamos when they were attacked by the Indians and killed. Threo sloops on the Yaqul river near Medarc, were also attacked, and Aurlllo F. Paredes, who was In charge of them, was killed. The vessels were set on Are, but were saved by Federal forces, who drove the savages away. The body of Paredes was found floating la the river. Oae of the sloops—the Alondre —was agstn attacked as it was leaving the mouth of the river on its way back to Guaymas. but the Indians were scattered. It Is reported that members of the Romero family were captured as they were about to embark on one of the sloops, and that Paredes was killed in trying to rescue them. Troops are pursuing the bands supposed to have the family. The telegraph line south of Alamos has been cut. The Indians along the Mayo river are quiet and do not seem inclined to Join the Insurrection. Gen. Angel Garcia Pens telegraphed yesterday that Don Carloa Hale, the noted merchant, had not been killed, as reported. Official advices up to Monday, however, state clearly that after General Torrea s forces took Bkcum. they found ten dead of the troopa from CocorH and four of the bodyguard of the Yaqul chief, Maldonado, and the body of Hale. They say nothing has been heard of the chief. OEN. TORRES WOUNDED.

Seattle, Wash., August 4.-According to the statement of Philip Sheridan, formerly crown prosecutor at Dawson, the United States has had surveyors at work the past two years locating the Alaskan boundary line. He said: "I came out from Dawson with a man named James Haines, or Hayes, who for two years has be^n at work on a survey extending from the southern boundary of Alaska to the Yukon river, and 1 have every reason to believe that this work was done under the direction Of the United States Government. I learned from him that he has been engaged for two years in making a topographical survey of the line In question, and that he came out on the Yukon at Ft. Cudahy.” THE TRIAL OF DREYFUS.

The library of Congress, the coo-* and geodetic survey and the hydrographic office have large collections of maps of the disputed region, including some Russian maps, but there is none such as Is referred t<r by Mr. Zachert, and none was found by the diplomatic representatives to Russia, who searched for boundary line evidence in St. Petersburg, if the boundary had been marked by monuments prior to the cession of .-^ska to the United States, some reference would naturally have bee.' made to them in the treaty, but there is none.

New York. August 4.—A special to the Tribune from Washington says; The President has directed that the census of Cuba be taken as soon as possible. The matter has been energetically taken vp by the War Department, with the expectation of completing the work and furnishing the principal results to Congresu at the opening of the next session. On Secretary Root’s return to Washington next Tuesday, he will hold a final conference In his office to settle the details of the undertaking with Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn, who has immediate charge of colonial affairs, and with tho officials of the census bureau. The latter have already drafted the blanks, which probably will be used by the enumerati. -s, and these schedules are now in process of translation Into Spanish. General Brooke, commanding the department of Cuba, has appointed five superintending enumerators, who are now on their way to Washington to receive instructions as to the manner of taking the census, and to familiarize themselves with American methods of insuring accuracy In the data to be obtained. The Cuban census Is to be wholly Independent of the United States census of next year. although the large organization under Director Merriam, which will not begin Its actual field work until the first of the year, may be utilized to some extent in the tabulation and arrangement of Cuban data, secured in the next three months. It Is determined that the Cuban census shall be finished before the census of the United States, including Porto

Rico, begins.

Purpose of the Census.

The object of haste In determining the condition of affairs statistically In Cuba Is to furnish Congress such an exhaustive statement of facts that legislation for the future of the Island may be promptly and Intelligently accomplished. It Is expected that the President will be able to Include a summary of the results In his next mes-

sage, and at the same time furnish a T . r ,„_ T ,

A Correspondent Reviews Philippine Affairs. Chicago, August 4—A letter to the Tribune dated Manila, June X. says; “he army of both regulars and volunteers has done nobly. It has done not only as much as 25,000 men could by the vainest of nations be expected to do, but it has done what might hardly have been hoped for from 50.000 men as far as desperate fighting and blind obedience to incomprehensible commands go. The whole trouble has been that the situation here has not been properly understood. There is an available force in the Philippines at present of about 18.000 men. General Lawton, over bis own signature, has declared that lOO.OOO men were necessary to carry on the war, against the Insurgents. Consul WUdman at Hong-Kong long ago declared that 100,000 men were the least number required to prosecute the war properly. It was said last night In Manila that the Intense feeling In the States over the Philippine question had Impelled President McKinley to cable General Otis asking If he needed 150,000 men. One thing ought to be apparent In the States by this time, that enough men are needed here to carry on a vigorous war, and that 25,000 or 80,000, with only 18,000 available, Is far too small. The soldiers here have fought for months; many regiments have been on the firing line since last January; they have uncomplainingly battled against the heaviest odds, but they have rx>t had the support and encouragement they deserve. I have seen companies at the front with eighteen available men getting ready to go into a fight. The First Nebraska, at its last dress parade, a few nights ago, before going on its transports, haul hardly a company with more than fifty to sixty men in it, and yet it came here a year ago with 106 men in each company. The only way to end the war Is to push an aggressive campaign, with sufficient

men.

The insurgents are continually receiving fresh supplies and arms. At Faranaque a week ago they astonished the Americans Ly bajnging out some modem field pieces that They had obtained somewhere. Heavy shipments of arms are said to be constantly arriving from Japan and Australia, and, it is said, even from our own country. Cartridges picked up In the insurgent trenches bear the trode-mark of a big manufacturing fltm in the United

Slate.

The Insurgents have three factories wncie they manufacture cartridges and other munitions of war. If they were kept on the run they would have no time so to equip themselves that they could return after every defeat, better able to fight than they were before. They are learning things in every encounter with the Americans. The papers in Manila have continually refer! ed to the fact that the rebels were prone to shoot too high, and they seemed finally to have learned the lesson, ana now they are getting their shots well down. War Is a terrible school, but it is a school, lust the same, and we seem to be teaching the Filipinos many tricks a* our own expense. Every month we go on fighting them without materia! advantage to our side is giving them greater strength and confidence. The American army Is as sick of “Jack-rabbit hunts” as the most rabid anti-expansionists In America are. The soldiers are sick of capturing a town one day and abandoning It tho next—of marching up a hill Just for the sake of

marching down again.

General Lawton twice had the enemy between his advancing lines and a fresh water lake, which effectually cut off their retreat. Each time the Filipinos asked for

House the final and complete detailed results by the middle of January. It is not Intended to secure simply an enumeration of the inhabitants of the Island, but to determine as precisely as possible its agricultural and Industrial conditions. The last Spanish census of Cuba was taken ki J.I87. While its accuracy was In many respects doubtful, as a whole it was conceded to give a fair Idea of the conditions then existing. The population was said to be 1,631.687, of whom nearly 65 per cent, were white. Army officers who have been connected with the Cuban administration uince the American occupation began estimate thkt this total has fallen to about 1,300,009. The census of 1887 gave nearly 600,000 horses and mules, 2,500,000 cattle and 600,000 pigs in the Island. These, according to army officers, have practically disappeared, as a result of the long war. The income of plantations, the sugar-making capacity and acreage under cultivation for tobacco have been almost obliterated, but these and other vast sources of wealth are being rapidly restored, and it will be one of the objects of the census to show what opportunities may be found for the revival and development of Cuban resources. The collection of information will be In General Brooke’s charge, the expense being met from the Cuban rev-

CUBAN ORPHANS. A Suggestion that a Home be Furnished Them. Havana. August 4 —El Diarlo de la Marina publishes a letter which says that the condition of the young Cubans has become very bad. A large number were deprived of their parents by the war, and have been left without support or guiding influence. Naturally In many cases they fall a prey to vice, as Is shown by the very large proportion of young persona who figure as criminals in the police dockets. The writer of the letter suggests the establishment of homes for waif*. These he would have connected with suitable tracts of land, where the children could be brought up out of balm’s way and could he taught to tllLthe soil. The Democracla, of Manzanillo, says; •The proposition, emanating from the United States, to bring three million negroes for Cuban colonisation Is beyond all right and reason. Naturally the United States desires to get rid of what Is an incumbrance to the country, and It may bo that under this pressure there are those who fancy It would be possible to make u-e of those negroes in ‘Americanizing' Cuba. It looks as if Americans had launched themselves here at a time when the Cubans are exhausted and unable to resist." El Diarlo de la Marina, citing these observations, asks Democracla what remedy It has to propose. PROMOTING CUBANS. The Executive Committee Continues to Make Geaerals. Havana August A-The executive committee of the late Cuban Assembly is •till promoting veterans. By its last resolution, Sartoris. the alcalde of Glbara, was made a brigadier-general. The Diarlo de la Marina indorses the Patrla’s approval of the action of General Ludlow in suspending the Reconcentrado. The only complaint against him is that he did not act before. A stormy meeting has been held at the Academy of Sciences to protest against the admission of American lawyers and doctors to practice In Cuba after examination or without examination. Two hundred persons were present. The abolition of the Incommunicado system takes effect to-day. L. L. Sloan Discharged. New York. August 4.—Lucius L. Sloan, who arrived here from Havana a few days ago, and who was arrested yesterday at quarantine on a charge of having been concerned in the theft of tl.000 in Havana, was Jlscharged from custody today. The detective who arrested him said in court that the Havana police had been notified of Sloan's arrest, but had failed to reply to the message sent to them Sloan’s counsel said that even if his client were guilty he could not be sent back to Havana for trial, inasmuch as no extradition treaty exists between this country and Cuba.

Cleveland, O.. August 4.—In addition to the attempt to blow up a Jennings-avenue car on the South Side last night, reports received at police headquarters show that cars were stoned In various parts of the city, although so far as learned no one was injured.

Trieste, a barber, was the first man to be placed under arrest for taking part In the boycott. The warrant, which charged violation of the statutory rights law, was sworn out by patrolman Isaacs, who alleges the barber refused to shave him because he had ridden on Big Consolidated cars. The case was continued to August 7. Trieste is out on ball. Grand Chief P. M. Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, has been reported to the strikers for riding on Big Consolidated cars In disregard of the boycott. When asked if he patronized the Big Consolidated cars. Chief Arthur replied: “Of course I do. I ride on them every day, and whenever I have occasion to do so.” “Why do you do It?" he was asked. “Why," was the reply, “do you suppose I am going to walk three miles downtown when the cars pass my door? Of course, I am not. This agitation and the boycott are utterly ridiculous, and the strikers have gone altogether too far.” FAVOR A STRIKE.
