Refuses to Recall tha. Troops from

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

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."

The colonel said ,,iorc 1st an ugly feel

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

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.

UNWELCOME SURPRISE
FOR GENERAL SMITH
Always Tried to Do His Duty as
a Soldier, and Has No Com
plaint to Make.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Tress.
San Francisco, Aug. 3. General Jacob
H. Smith, who returned last Friday
from Manila, will spend several days
in this city and then go to his home In
Portsmouth, O. Speaking on the sub
ject for the first time since his arrival,
General Smith said of his forced re
tirement from the army:
"It was an unwelcome surprise to me.
I naturally supposed that I would re
ceive a reprimand as a result of the'
court-martial, but nothing more. I
have always tried to do my duty in a
conscientious manner and conduct my
self as a soldier. I am still in the gov
ernment's service nnd not at liberty to
discuss the recent occurrences. I could
bo as readily court-martialed now as
if I were not on the retired list.
"I am feeling first-rate, never better
In my life, in fact. 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

sages to congress In support of Repub
lican doctrine. Twenty pages are de
voted to the trusts, and In opening the
discussion the book thus describes the
attitude of tho two parties:
"The attitude of the two great par
ties on the trust question Is clearly de
fined. 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. President Roosevelt's Decoration
day address, so far as It refers to the
conduct of soldiers In the Philippines,
is quoted and twenty pages are given
to a discussion of the gold standard
and an outline of the Republican party
on financial question. A chapter is
given to diplomacy in the Orient, and

ment." DEMANDS EXAMINATION.
