WASHINGTON. Juno 22.-As a result
of tho crushing defeat which tho Yaqui
Indians near Guaymas, Mexico, aro re

Ho has conferred with Consul Hostctter,
of Heimostllo, who has Jurisdiction over
American Interests In tho Guaymas sec
tion. No marines havo yet been landed nnd
nono tvitl be except upon definite Instruc
tions from Washington, or unless a BUdden
raid by tho Indians should placo tho
Americans In Imminent danger. Thus
fnr tho Indians have been satisfied to keep
tho settlers cooped up In their ranch
houses and take possession of their Irri
gated fields.

perhaps the most wonderful system of de

Tho "Labyrinth" was formed .by two

irom which radiated a network ot
trenches for 1000 jards on cither side.
These formed a whole series of fortifica

"The Germans concentrated against us
batteries of light and heavy guns, In
cluding 300 five-millimetre mortars," said
the statement "Tho first assault, May

Then began tho struggles In the under

Eulenburg," 'Von ' Kluck.' etc, after
