Story of the t'ncon-
, uuernhlc YnqtilH ,
The present hostile attitude cf the Yaqul
Indians , In the mountain districts of north-
T.c t rn Mexico , revives Interest In what It ,
perhaps the most remarkable tribe of abor-
Igtnala known to history. The Yaquls differ
materially from the numerous other tribes
Inhabiting this section of the globe , relates
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. While thor
oughly partaking of the ferocious nature of
the Apaches ot the American frontier and
entertaining quite as pronounced ft hatrad
for all people of more civilized tastes , they
are characterized by a very distinct predi
lection for Intelligent forms of government.
But that any rcatrlctlons or obligations
tihould be placed upon them by an nlkti poo-
pic , such ao they have ever been disposed
to regard all mankind not ot their tribe ,
they are disposed to consider a unwtir-
rfinted Interference with their hereditary
custom * and hence Intolerable , The Yaquls
h'nve been a constant source of dread to
the Mexicans ever since the first attempt at
clvllltlng the northweatcrn section of the
republic , to which movement the former
have been most strenuously opposed. Like
other North American tribes , they hold that
the territory they Inhabit Is theirs by right
of Inheritance from helr forefathers and
every foot ot land that , has fromi time to
time been wrenched from them has ulti
mately 'been paid for by the life's blood of
the Invaders.
When the Spaniards first came to Mexico ,
In 1519 , the Yaqul nation numbered a popu
lation of 350,000. The territory controlled
by them was bounded on the south by Durango -
range , and etrctchcd away to what Is now
Iknown as the northern boundary of Cole
rado. They wore absolutely Independent ,
owing allegiance to no government other
than thqlr own , nnd were looked upon as
the moat formidable of air the tribes ot
( Mexico. Llko all uncivilized natives at that
period , the Yaquls were given to strange
customs and rites , many ot which were ap
palling in theextreme. . Ono of them ) -was
their practice ot destroying , at birth , all
puny or deformed infants , which cruel cus
tom is claimed to account for the superior
physical development characteristic ot them
T even to this day. The first war with the
iYaqula was parclpltated by Coronado , who ,
( luring the period of Spanish occupation , led
on armed expedition Into their territory. The
progress of the Invaders was strenuously
opposed by < the Indians , but , owing to their
eupcrlor arms and equipments , the Spaniards
eventually succeeded In penetrating through
their country. This war lasted a year , dur
ing which period the Yaquts lost 20,000 of
their warriors and were forced to abandon
a large amount of their territory to the in
vaders. <
An Ancient Ilntc.
Their Intense hatred for the Spaniards ,
cherished even to the present time , was en-
Rendered In the Yaquls at that remote date.
Throughout the succeeding centuries they
x have been almost Incessantly at war with
the Spaniards and their Mexican descendants ,
nnd by degrees their once powerful tribe has
"been " reduced , until at the present day U
numbers less than 15,000 members. Ot their
former broad domain all the possessions
that now remain to the Yaquls are a few
leagues of land , situated In the lower valley1 *
of the Rio Yatiul. in the southern portion' of
tKe-'Vtato'of'SorioVii : rfere. dQrlnB'th'd ' bI6t"
intervals ot peace which they have oc
casionally experienced , they have made their
homes , following their natural pursuits of
tanning , stock raising and mining. This Is
the land that has been officially assigned to
them by the Mexican government. Back of
It , however , In the fastness of the great
Blerrlfi Madrce , lies a territory that U theirs
by right ot their exclusive ability to pene
trate , and , when necessary , to Inhabit It.
This Is the war homo ot the Yaquls. Here ,
In the conflicts of later years , they have
proved Invincible , unconquerable. It Is a
country of rugged mountain steeps , of deep ,
furntce-llko defiles , nnd desolate , fiwelterlng
njesa Iand3 a country Inaccessible , Intoler
able to anything human , save only the
Yaquls. Such Is the stronghold In which this
race of fighters Is Intrenched today.
The Tilstory of the Yaquls during the pres
ent century Is especially conspicuous , from
th * fact that In the second quarter thereof
the tribe settled down to an apparently
permanent peace. The manifestation ot a
trait so utterly at variance -with the previ
A ± ous disposition of the trlbo was the occa
sion of quite as much wonderment as relief
on the part ot the Mexican people. In
justice to the Yaquls , however , bo It said ,
that , had the tribal righto been respected by
n moro advanced civilization la the begin
ning , not only would nearly three centuries
of perpetual warfare have been averted , but
Mexico might bavo boasted an aboriginal
element without a peer among her present
population. Porterjo Diaz , blm&elt an In
dian , has always entertained the profound-
eel admiration for the Yaqul character and
recently characterized thorn as the "arms of
the state of Sonorn. " In 1820 the Yaquls
numbered upward of 30,000 and during the
ensuing year rallied to the standard of Gen
eral Iturbldo , taking a prominent part In
the war for Independence against their nat
ural enemlM , the Spaniards. When , In Sep
tember. 1821 , the war ended and the free
dom ot the Mexicans had hern wen , th6
Yaquls retumed to their remote haunts In
the northwest and entered upon their long
Unprecedented Interval of 'peace. Therein
was experienced the first prosperity they
bad known since Cortcz's time. Then came
the war between Mexico and the United
States , In 1SI7. Even a quarter century of
peace had not banished the YaquU' Inher
ent propensity for war and Immediately
3,000 of their braves joined the Mexican
forces.But when peace was again restored ,
in February cf the , following year , the
Ynjiils wh ? had served throughout the war
did not return to their peaceful pursuits.
They claimed the Mexican government had
broken faith with them relative to certain
lands , that had been promised them as a
reward for their participation In the war.
Tbo result was the precipitation of a series
of hostilities , laetlng throughout a period of
more than fifty years and the tnd of which
has not > et been reached.

Within that sanguinary Interval the Mexi
can government lias sacrificed 35,000 , soldier *
epd many millions of dollars In ltn fruitless
cndeavora to effectually sub-luo the Y.vjulfi
iind reatore a permanent peoco. The tribe ap

b fore the ww , Of the 15,000 YaquU to be
found iu Sonora at the present time , It Is Im-
poutble to correctly estimate the proportion
of actual fighters. The boys are instructed In
warfare from their very Infancy , arid at the
ag of U one Is seldom found who U not an
expert In the uie of every weapon known to
their craft. The firut ambition nf every Yaqul
youth Is to liotseas a Winchester rifle , and
to acquire this he wjll toll Inceisantly in the
fields 1or 12 centavos per day , putties by
bit money and lubolatlng upon scant rations
of parched corn until he bus accumul te4
tha jiflco of inc. coveted weapon , In the late
the Ysquls numbered many yputtw ot
tblK early age amonj ; their ranks. OnceIn
possession of a rifle , which ho would con
trive to purchase from some one of the many
American prcspcctori who were continually
pausing thiough their country , the lads
would hasten to join th hoitlles In their
mountain rendezvous. Nor were the fighting
forces recruited only from amongst the men
and boys , in the summer of 1892 thirty
Yaqut women In men's attire were discovered
different occasions among the slain after
.no night battles. Oftentimes the women
were entirely depended upon for ammunition
and supplies , which they would secretly con
voy to the warriors In their mountain
strongholds. The principal food on which the
Yaquls iubslst In times of war Is penole , a
nillrltlotlg mixture , consisting ot ground
marched corn , sugar and spices. When mixed
with water this compound I * both palatable
and nourishing , and a single pound of It
will furnish subulstcnco to a Yaqul brave
for days.
The moat noted Yaqul chief ot the present
icntury was Cajeml. Ho was born In Sonora
In 1837 , and during his boyhood attended the
Ideal parochial schools. At the ago ot 19
Cajeml joined the Mexican army , In which
he rapidly advanced , becoming a captain at
21. At 28 he was made colonel , and shortly
afterward was detailed for duty as governor
of the territory occupied , by the Yaquls. In
this capacity ho continued for three years ,
at the expiration ot which time bo was
ordered to rejoin his regiment at Vera Cruz.
Cajeml , however , had wearied of military
honor ; , and developed ambitions ot another
character. Hence , instead oj complying with
his recall , he lesucd a proclamation , decrar-
Ing the Yaquls a free nation under his
leadership. At this , General Pesquelrn , gov
ernor of Sonora , immediately dispatched a
largo body of troops against him. This was
wet by l.COO Yaquls , with Cajeml at their
head , and n terrific battle ensued. Though
vastly outnumbered , and ultimately obliged
to retire to the mountains , the Yaquls In
flicted great punishment on the Mexican
forcee , who wcro unable to follow them.
For the succeeding three years General Pes-
quelra kept up a desultory warfare against
Cajeml , at the expiration ot which time an-
otAer powerful army was sent to annihilate
him. This latter force the Yaqut chieftain
intercepted with 4,000 warriors at Capete-
maya , a ( Crossing on the Mayo river. Hero
another fierce engagement took place , ro-
suftlng In the advance of the Mexicans being
stopped.
! 'n in o in DnttlcM.
The most celebrated ot the battles waged
against this remarkable chief , however , waa
fought in a small valley near Callente. In
thlsi conflict , though outnumbered four to
one by the Mexicans , Cajeml and his warrlora
came out victorious , 'the former losing 300
men , while the1 Yaquls lost but half that
hunibcr.
For two years subsequent to this crushing
defeat , the Mexicans did little more than act
on the defensive , and Cajeml was practically
la control of the entire region , which ho
terrorized by a constant guerrilla warfare ,
In 1883 Cajemi took up a position In the
San. Miguel mountains , and every effort on
the part of the Mexicans to dislodge him
therefrom proved futile. Finally , General
Martinez , then In command of the Mexican
troops , resorted to subterfuge In order to
decoy the Yaqul chief from his stronghold.
One day a priest , the godfather of Cajeml's
children , appeared In the camp of the hos
tile tribes. Going before the chief , he rep
resented that General Maftlnez was weary of
the prolonged struggle and was willing
to make satisfactory terms with Cajeml ,
provided he would meet him In council. At
first the -wily chief declined to take the
risk , but eventually , after much persuasion
and every assurance of security , ho con
sented to accompany the priest under a flag
ot truce Into the valley for the purpose of
conferring with Martinez. No sooner had
ho arrived there , however , than he was
seized and thrown Into prison. A court
fflnrtlal followed , ' in which Cajeml was ad-
fudffed guilty of treason , and sentenced to
lib shot lils execution took place at a
point where fifty Mexican soldiers whom
ala followers bad slain lay burled. For
years afterward the scene of his death was
marked by a wooden cross.
When the Yaquls learned how their chief
had been "betrayed " nnd put to death they
were frantic with rage , and swore everlast
ing vengeance , not. only against the per
petrators ot the deed , but against every
member ot their race. In Cajeml's stead
they chosea subchlef known as Tetabtate ,
who was distinguished for bis reckless
courage and ferocity. The next chief at
once Instituted a campaign against the Mex
icans , the memory of which to this day in
spires the settlers ot that region with
horror. In every direction within a radius
of 150 miles of their mountain retreat , the
unsparing hand of the Yaqul fell. During
the terrible months that followed the lives
of hundreds ot ranchmen , minors , travelers
and soldiers nald the forfeit of Martinez's
treachery nnd for the first time In the his
tory of the Yaquls It was reported that
w6men and children were numbered among
the slain.
Mnsuncre Precedes Pence.
Not long after his succession to the lead
ership of the hostile tribe , Tetablato way-
lAld a company of eighty Mexican soldiers
at Batamatal , within lets than six miles ot
GUaymas , and slew every member of the
command. He then killed a burro and , re-
movln : Its ekln , drew It over the body ot
th6 Mexican captain. To crown his au
dacity he next raised the body on a pole
and convoying It to a point within plain
vlow of Guaymas proceeded to taunt the
garrison by exhibiting bis ghastly trophy.
The termination of the last war against
the Yaquls in May , 1897 , was characterized
by much ceremony. Satisfactory negotia
tions having passed between the late General -
oral Torres , commanding the Mexican troops ,
anrj Chief Tetablate , thoTatter appeared at
the village of Orltz , on the appointed day ,
At the head ot 800 warriors Chosen to take
part In the demonstration , An Immense
eland had been erected In the center of the
Plata and a great concourse of people were
aseetnblod from all over tbo surrounding
country to witness the great event. The
government was represented by General
Torres , at the head ot 2,000 Mexican troops.
After the signatures of the Yaqul chief
and the Mexican general had been affixed
to the treaty each made a speech to the
Assembled multitude. General Torres In his
address complimented the Yaqula for their
bravery and endurance and Chief Tetablate
In return paid a high tribute io the .quali
ties of his erstwhile opponents. Governor
Sanchez of Sonora then delivered * patriotic
oration , after which the Mexican troops and
Yaqul braves marched around the grand
stand , exchanging many salutes and otherwise -
wise overwhelming each other with cour-
toslcs. The exercise * were succeeded In
the evening by a grand ball and gorgeous
pyrdtecbnlo display ; on the following day
a barbecue was given , and thus , with feastIng -
Ing , dancing and general merrymaking ,
ended one of the bloodiest wars recorded in
Mexican blttory.

Although the campaign la yet In Its In-

parent on the pnrt of local politician * , nnj
the preliminaries nro rnpldly taking shape
for what Is expected to be a rod-hot county
fight , The comparative strength of candi
dates Is becoming evident and most of those
who are actively Interested are ready to
consider the question of calling the county
convention and getting In line for the fliml
control.
Last Monday a petition , signed by thirty-
nlno members of the county central com
mittee , being two-thirds of the body , was
presented to Chairman Surbank requesting
him to Issue a call for a meeting of the
committee. The failure of the chalrronn to
comply with this request was followed by
another request , signed by a majority of the
committee , directed to the secretary , Mr.
Tucker , to Issue a : & > ! Jor the committee
to meet In Washington hall on next Satur
day at 2 o'clock , for the purpose of fixing
a date for holding the convention to nom
inate a , county ticket. This convention will
also choose delegates to the state convention
to bo held In Omaha , September 21 , The call
was Issued last evening and copies were
mailed to all the members of the commit
tee.
tee.Ono
Ono of the paradoxes tbat are created by
the painful effort of some antl-ropubllcaa
politicians to continue their calamity howl
In the face of the present prosperous condi
tions cropped out in a. humorous light In a
downtown resort , where a well known First
ward politician who is a. member of tho.
democratic county central committee was
discoursing on the evils of a republican gov
ernment In particular and on the short
comings of the McKlnley administration In
particular. In the course of his animad
versions he declared that the worklngmcn
will never ba prosperous as long as tbo re
publicans are In power. "Look at this
country today , " he vociferated. "Seo how
the masses arc ground down by the trusts
and how the poor man is getting poorer
every day. " Ho proceeded to declare that
another four years of McKlnley will make
every worklngman a pauper and no man
who Is without capital will bo able to make
a living for his family.
Then the conversation switched and turned
to the prospective primaries , and the antl-
admlnlstrattou man voiced another griev
ance. "I never had such a time In my
life , " ho walled. "Here I have been plugging
over the ward for four days and I can't find
a man who Is willing to act as judge or
clerk. Everybody is working , and when I
try to get them to talto a day oft they
Insist that their employers have so much
business on their hands that It Is useless
to ask for a layoff. I have lived In the
First ward for twelve years and tbls Is
the first time I ever knew when every man
In the ward was working every day In the
week. "
The kicker "was entirely unconscious of
the fact that his two grievances did not
harmonize worth a cent , but the joke
dawned on the rest ot the crowd and after
they had given him a bad fifteen minutes he
escaped from his difficulty by declaring :
"Well , It Is all wrong when a man ha to
work all the time to get a living , anyhow. "

The populist primaries to select delegated
to the county < c < 5nventlon , which will be held
at the populist headquarters on Howard
street Saturday afternoon , will cccur be
tween 7 and 9 o'clock Thursday evening.
There are no contests in six of the Omaha
wards , nor in South Omaha , but In the
Fourth au < l Sixth wards of Omaha the ad
ministration crowd has thrown down the
gauntlet for a straight Issue with their op
ponents. Bach has put up a delegation and
there will be a red hot fight before the
question of supremacy Is settled. There Is
also a contest In the Eighth ward , but this
Is purely a question of Individuals , as the
tickets are the same , except that W. J.
Welsbans and A. W. Tldd go on one ticket
to oppose L. F. McGinn and George B.
Cornwlrth.
Of the delegations that are uncontested
the Second ward Is conceded to the adminis
tration. The antls claim the First , Third ,
