persons were killed by the collapse of
the gang plank of the Mount Deseret

ferry. Seventeen were drowned and
, !
three died from the terrible experience
.. , '
of immersion in the water and injuries
while struggling for life. The Maine
Central railroad had run an excursion
to Bar Harbor. At Mount Deseret
ferry, the terminus of the line, the i
train is left for the boat, for an eigh
teen-mile sail to Bar Harbor.
From the wharf a slip or gang plank,
forty feet long and ten feet wide ran
out to the boat; the slip was hinged at
the inner end and was raised or low
ered to suit the tide.
When the excursion train from Bau
;
por arrived at the ferry there was a
rush for the steamer Sappho. The first
few passengers had crossed the pang
plank safely and it is estimated that
300 people were massed on the plank.
The lonp timbers supportinp the plank
broke in the middle. The hinges held
up one end aud the chain the other,
while the broken ends of the plank
dropped and a
mass of humanity

Aiintin, Tex., A114-. 5.—Ailispatch re
ceived here from Casa (irande, state of
Chihuahua, Mex., states that four
American miners had just arrived there
direct from tiie upper Yaqui river
country. They were driven out by
marauding bauds of Y aqnl Indians.
Thomas Marvell, one of the members
of the party, who formerly lived in
Austin, stated that there are probably
3,000 American miners and prospectors
scattered throng'll the Yaqui country
and that their lives are in imminent
danger, as the Indians are getting
bolder and more desperate each day.
Marvell said that the news of the
ily outbroad among the Yaquis in
the lower valley had not reached the
upper part of the stream when lie left,
and that as soon as such news is re
ceived by the scattered bands of Indi
ans in the placer mining region they
will massacre every white man along
the river. Me estimates that there are
5000 Yaqui braves and that it will take
a force of fully 40,000 Mexican troops
to conquer them if ttiey are enabled to
reach their former strongholds in the
Hauharlpa range of mountains. During
the two years the Indians have been
at peace they have been quietly invest
ing tlicir earnings in arms aud ammu
nition, and they are now better
equipped than ever for a long and
bloody campaign.

Man Francisco, Aug. 6.—That the
work of tiie Utali batteries in the
Philippines was appreciated by the old
"war-horses" is evidenced by the fol
lowing story which is going tha
rounds:
Major Bell of the Seventh cavalry
rode down the tiring line oue day aud
stopped to look at the work being done
by the Ftah artillery. He saw that
the men were weak from irregular
hours and exposure, he saw that many
of them should have been in hospital
wards. Then this veteran of two wars
raised his hat und said, with a grim
smile:
"The Utah batteries are the best
d—d artillery in the United States ser
vice. 1 am Major Bell of the Seventh
cavalry and I don't care who hears me
say it."
