tiraly false. Trustworthy citizens, iu good
standing, who have just arrived from Sonora,
«herc they bad every opportunity to

officers are thoroughly disheartened and
disgusted with the Ysqnis war. The Yaqtus
number about G,000 well armed men, uud
hsvo defeated the government troops badly.
About two hundred Yaqius have beeu
captured and shot. Orders were given to
shoot all Yaquis found. Toia order was

many Mexicans as Yaquis have beeu killed.

tereHtlng facts of tho situation in Northern
Mexico come .from tlio New Laredo ci r-
respondeut of the Globe-Democrat, and
give a more connected statement of affairs
than has been already published: It is
stated on good authority that tho city
Tiuncs, of about 10,000 inhabitants, has
prononneed against the Federal guv.
eminent. As this city is
in the interior and some 200
miles from tho border, it is evident that tho
feeltog of rebellion and discontent is rapid
ly permealtog the whole of northern
Mexico.
The aitnation in Tcmaulipaa is identical
wilh that of Neuvo Leon last September

suited end received permission to absent
himself from tbe capital, and his where
abouts aro not known at present. It is said
by some that be is in tbe City of Mexioo,
and bis return is looked for in the course of
two weeks.
It will ho remembered that Garino, gov
ernor of Nuevo Leon, was ordered to the
City of Mexico before the uprising ia that
State liiet wutler. and as * n<n as tl.c Secre
tary of State of S'iDulpA took the gain rna-
tonal chair, the discoLteiits receive 1 their

Colonel Villairenl, it is said, will join tbe

themselves to be deposed.
Tbe uprising cf Angus Lslyunnhss given
thb federal government soma uneasiness,
nnd they have ordered General Nor-
ijo of Nuevo Luon, to report

he has not seen fit to comply with, and he

Tbe movement to depoae the civil gov
