The Yaquis decided to accept this offer, as they are a race of warriors who like soldiering, and so the treaty was made.
It is said that the Chief of the Yaquis rode to the conference followed by eight hundred well-armed warriors. The treaty was made, and the ceremonies were followed by a great feast, in which Mexicans and Yaquis both took part.
It is thought that the making of this treaty will be of great value to Mexico.
It is also reported that a new volcano has been formed in Mexico, on the peninsula of Tehuantepec, which is on the southwest coast of Mexico.
Severe earthquake shocks were felt in the region, and finally a new volcano made its appearance.
No one has as yet visited it, for the Mexicans are too much frightened to go near, but smoke and fire can be seen coming out of the mountain.
The Government has sent a party out from the City of Mexico to find out the truth of the matter.
British India, or Hindostan, has also been suffering from earthquake.
A very severe shock, which lasted nearly five minutes, was felt in Calcutta on June 12th. The disturbance extended over a large area of country, and a great deal of damage was done.
In the town of Calcutta the public buildings were damaged, and the spires of several churches fell. In some parts of the city hardly any of the houses escaped damage.
Throughout the country, railways were destroyed, bridges broken, and an immense amount of property ruined. In one place the earth opened, and a railway train was overturned.
Many people were killed by buildings falling on them, and there was great terror and distress in all the provinces visited by the earthquake.
On the same day, word was cabled that a number of British officers and native soldiers had been massacred on the Afghanistan frontier, at a place called the Tochi Valley.
A government officer, Mr. Gee, was travelling through the district under the escort of a body of troops. The party was attacked by a tribe of frontiersmen, and the British obliged to retreat, their enemies following them for several miles.
Some of the officers commanding the troops were killed, and all of them were wounded.
Mr. Gee had been sent to the frontier to fix the site for a new outpost or fort, and to collect fines that had been imposed on the frontiersmen for past misconduct.
