STRINGENT MEASURES WILL BE ADOPTED A Lithuanian Captured Will Bo Sent to Pottsvillo Jail Sentries Will Be Armed with Several Hounds of Car tridges and Will Shoot to Kill If Again Molested Governor Stone Refuses to Recall tha. Troops from Shenandoah. By Exclusive Wire from Tlic Associated Press. Shenandoah, Aug. 3. The entire Eighth regiment was called to arms during Inst night as a result of three attacks made by a band of men In am bush, who threw stones at the troops now In camp on the plateau outside the town. These attacks are becoming so frequent that Brigadier General Oobln has decided to adopt stern measures to end them. Tonight a double guard sup plied with ball cartridges surrounds the camp and the sentries have been In structed that if last night's stone throwing la repeated, they must shoot to kill and Investigate afterwards. One of the attacking party, a Lithuanian named William Stoponitz, Is under ar rest, and is conflucd In the guard tent and the provost marshal Is on the trail of others. It Is not known how many were In the crowd, but the offlcers of the Eighth regiment believe the num ber to have been more than a doczn. The llrst attack, according to Colonel Theodore F. Hoffman, was made at 10.45 o'clock last night. Private Payne, of Company I, on sentry duty, saw a party of men on the Mahanoy City road, which separates the camp of the Eighth from the Twelfth. He com manded the men to halt and called the corporal of the guard, but.' before the latter could respond, a shovler of sticks tnd-stoues w$rc thrr-wn .t-V- s?ntry Onn rnnk slrliclc him nn w nn rthPKt. knocking him down nnd fcfluslng his gun to fall from his hands. He Imme diately Jumped up and fired several shots In the air. As he did sb, the men ran down' the road and were pursued by several soldiers. The outpost, which had been stationed some distance from the camp, heard the shot and one of the pickets captured Stoponitz as he came running down the road. The others escaped. The shooting aroused the whole camp, and the Eighth regi ment was put under arms and com panies B, E nnd K were Immediately thrown out In skirmish lines. They beat the underbrush and laurel, which is Ave or six feet high all around the camp, but could find no one. The regi ment was then called to quarters and fifteen minutes later another shower of stones wns thrown at the stable guard, which is located south of the Eighth regiment. The guard turned out and threee men were seen running ilong the road In the opposite dlrec ;lon, where the putpost wns stationed. The strangers were not pursued. Shortly nfter 3 o'clock, the third and last attack was made, and it was of such a nature that the bugler, under orders from Colonel Hoffman, sounded the whole regiment to arms. This time the stable guard was again the object of the mysterious attack. Stones In volleys were thrown at the guard and at the sentrlon nearby. On account of the laurel, underbrush nnd the dnrk ness, the soldiers could not seee the of fenders. However, the sentry fired about n dozen shots into the bushes, but no one was hit. Some of the bul lets went whistling over the tents of the sleeping soldiers of the Twefth rcGlment, ucross the road. The noise of the firing nnd the bugle call to arms stirred up the Twelfth 'regiment and nnd the Governor's troop of cnvalry, which Is located close to the Eighth regiment. Colonel Clement, of the Twelfth regiment, sent out detach ments to Investigate the trouble, as did Captain Ott, In command of the caval ry. The Eighth regiment, Colonel Hoff man said, was under arms and ready for action In threo minutes. Another thorough Investigation was made, with out result, and then the command, nf ter standing in formation for thirty minutes, was called to quarters and not again disturbed. Stringent Measures Adopted. Col. Hoffman made a full report to Brigadier General Gobln, who camo to camp during tho forenoon to make a ful Investigation. He put Stoponitz through a searching examination. The prisoner said there were only four "men In tho party. Ho gave the name1 of one of them as Michael Lnvotlz nnd said ho did not know who the others wore. While under examination he made several contradictory statements. Gen. Gobln says that he will turn Stop onttz to the civil authorities tomorrow, He will be placed In Pottsvllle Jail. The brigadier general said he had issued orders that stringent measures be taken with all such offenders. "I have orderpd several rounds of hall cartridges to be Issued to each eentr.y he said, "nnd the ofllcers of (he guard will be instructed to have them used. The guard at tho camp will also be Increased." Col. Hoffman said he did not know Whether the stono throwing wus done to annoy the troops or to seo what the regiment would or could do. "Last night's occurrence demonstrates that .we can bo ready for any emergency In threo minutes," he said, "and here after wo will stund no nonsense and Vlll give a bullet for each stone." XX THMROOPS 0 "VS. te The colonel said ,,iorc 1st an ugly feel ing among many persons against the troops. Reports arc being made to him dally of soldiers being elbowed and otherwise' annoyed on tho streets. It was tho Intention of Col. Hoffman to give a parade In the town proper ns a compliment to the brigadier general but owing to last night's affair It was decided that It would bo better to have the parade within the camp lines. The soldiers spent a quiet day. There was a large Sunday crowd out. The regi ment chuplnln held services In the morning and In the afternoon each command gave a dress parade. Tomor row the cavalry will be sent out on Bhort marches. General Gobln today gave out tho following statement: "The published reports to the effect that members of the National guard refused to work in laying water pipe to the camp and that certain soldiers have sugt. jted that they were union men and therefore could not assist In tho work are absolutely untrue and without any foundation whatever."

ILL-TIMED EXHIBITION OP WARLIKE SPIRIT Archbishop Ireland Believes That the Catholics Have No Cause to Complain of the Course of Our Gov ernment Toward Representatives of the Church at Manila Moderation Is Advised. By Exclusive Wire from The Aaociatrd Tress. St. Paul, Aug. 3. Archbishop Ireland, preaching this morning in the cathe dral, said: The npostlo Paul gives this counsel. "Not to bo moro wise than It bchooveth to bo wise, but to be wise unto sobriety, and according as God hathdlvlded to every ono tho mcasmo of lulth." In tho mind of the upostlo things most excellent if mado uso of In undue measure and without proper regard to circumstances of time nnd place change into things perilous and luutful. And this Is un doubtedly what is happening in tho case of llery zeal in defense of Catholic in terests which seems to bo coveting an explosion at tho present tlmo among cer tain clnsses of American Catholics. The Interests of church It Is said aro mado to suffer at tho hands of the government In Its newly acquired dependencies and the call to nrms is sounded from tho ros trums of Catholic societies and through tho columns of Catholic papers to tho per turbation of tho wholo Catholic body and Indeed the whole country. Who aro thoy who complain and pro test and call upon Catholics to be up and doing? Aro thoy those who might claim to represent tho church In its general, or oven local Interests? Has the sovereign pontiff spoken? Certainly he has not complained; rather has ho been hoard from in very different terms. The eccles iastical authorities in tho dependencies liavo not invoked our aid. Matters to Be Considered. There aro some very important mat ters to bo considered by Catholics before grievances aro proclaimed, or action is token to remedy thcm. Tho utmost care must previously bo had to mako one's self sure the grievances do exist and that they aro of sufficient magnitude to bo taken hold of in a manper to awaken public attention. Catholics havo in tho past suffered much from calumny and distrust and In their defense their appeal has been to fair play anil to honest judg ment. Of tho equitable treatment which they claim for themselves and their re ligious faith from their fellow citizen and from the countrymen let them In their turn bo high exemplars In their own deal ings with their fellow citizens and with the country. AS to matters in tho Philippines wo cannot discuss (hem. They are for the time being put beyond our reach, since they are tho subject of negotiations be tween tho government of America nnd tho sovereign pontiff. To take at the present such matters into our own hands would bo to mistrust tho wisdom and the good will of tho sovereign pontiff and of tilts loyal Catholics should not bo ca pable of. It would bo to treat with di3 courteous ingintitudo tho administration In Washington and this as true American Catholics wo will not permit themselves to do. Tho logic of tho situation of the presence of strnngo complications for church and stato arising from a change of sovereignty in the Phlllppino Islands pointed to a mutual conference be tween tho head of the church nnd a rep resentative of tho stato as tho proper and dignified way to a final and peaceful so lution. Leo XIII saw this; Theodore Roosovolt saw this. Leo took tho Initiat ive, proposed tho conference and asked tho government to expose frankly and thoroughly Its views. Tho president and his advisers accepted tho proposal, What moro could have been dono by tho ad ministration to provo Its good will and senso of Justice. If tho ndmlnlstintlon had refused to sond a representative to Rome what clomorlngs there would havo been nnd now when It has sent a repre sentative to Homo nnd agrees to the fur ther proposal of tho Vatican to transfer negotiations to Manila clamorlngs are still raised.

I was with the Twelfth and Seventeenth before I was promoted. I spent most of the time I was In tho Islands in and around Sa mar. I always tried to do what was best for the natives of the provinces. Some of the natives aro nothing less than savages and, of course, can not be treated like civilized people. They would all resort to most barbarous methods of warfare at times. Instances of the torture and slaughter of Ameri can soldiers are numerous. Any one of my command knows that they wero not unduly severe with the natives. I have always tried to conduct my campaigns according to military regulations. There Is no use asking me to talk about other things. It would not be military. It would bu of no use. I am a soldier, and take what Is coining to me. It is not for me to say whether I deserve It or not. I have done what I thought was right, and am ready to settle down In aulet."

That of the Democratic party looks to constant agitation, with no re strictive legislation; that of the Repub lican party to such restriction ns will prevent arbitrary advance In prices or reduction in wages through exclusive control, but not the destruction by legislation or Injury by fictitious agi tation of legitimate enterprise, through great manufacturing systems by which the production Is cheapened, prices of manufactures reduced and permanency of employment assured." Ninety-live pages of the publication are devoted to the Philippines and the Republican Insular policy, which In cludes the early stages of the. acquisi tion of the Islands, declarations that the people are not ready for independ ence.
