He Tells of His Experience With the Midland Regiment--Was Sevens teen Years of Age at the Time, Ottawa Journal The reminiscences of the North- west rebellion have been read with -# great deal of interest. To-day we are able to give gome more of the features of the campaign as told by Rev. H. I. Horsey, pastor of the Wel- come Zion Congregational church. Mr. Horsey, who was a lad of 17 at the time of the rebellion, says: "The Midland regiment was a very fit and effective fighting unit, com- REV. HAROLD I.

The Maya Indians, who inhabit the more remote parts of Quintana Roo, have never been conquered by Mexi- cans and its members are hostile to that Government. During the Diaz regime constant warfare was carried on to subjugate the Mayas. They were killed by thousands and the survivors were driven back into the interior and finaly the ancient and sacred capital of the tribe, Chan Santa Cruz, was captured. This and other defeats broke the. spirit of the Mayas and they have carried on guerrilla war- fare against the Mexicans, It is well known here that Ameri- cans and British traders in Belize carried on a profitable trade in sup- plying the Mayas with arms and am- munition in return for chicle, ma- hogany logs and other tropical pro- ducts. British Honduras became a British colony in 1862. It was settled by British in the latter part of the eigh- teenth century, despite the armed op- position of the Spaniards who were in possession of the country.
