Shenandoah, Aug. 11. Complaint was
made to brigade headquarters today
that strikers are foraging In the rich
agricultural district of the Catawl&sa
valley, the other side of the moun
tains north of this city. The life of
one farmer has been threatened because
he attempted to protect his property,
and the raids have reached such serious
proportions that the farmers are pre
paring to take some concerted action
to stop further depredation. The com
plaints reached headquarters this nf
ternon and it is not unlikely that cav
nlry will be sent Into the district to-
morrow, for the purpose of stopping
the raids. If the cavalry is sent there,
It is probable that a platoon of the
troopers will bo left In the valley to
patrol the farms, day and night.
The farmers are drawing up a peti
tion asking for protection, which will
be sent to the sheriff, in case General
Gobln decides not to send the troops
Into the valley.
Lucicn Mundbeck, a farmer, re
ported that for some time past raids
have been made on his place by par-
ties of men. Karly this morning, he
caught a man tearing out whole stalks
of corn. He ordered the man off the
place, and as he was leaving he fired
two shots at the fanner. The latter
whs armed, but did not shoot. A widow
who owns a farm reported that several
men came on her premises and" started
to dig out potatoes. She ordered them
"'oft the patch, but they paid no atten
tion to her and did not leave until they
had taken all they needed. One farmer
has bevoral men patrolling his farm,
day and night. The foragers do not
confine themselves to stealing crops,
but also take away with them chickens
end geese.
Soldiers Feed Starving Women.
The soldiers In camp are daily feed
ing several hundred women and chil
dren, They come there saying they are
hungry, and as there Is more than
enough food in the camp to supply the
wants of the men, the officers permit
the soldiers to give something to the
needy applicants. The number that
came last week was small, but It Is in
creasing every day. Some of the wo
men and all of the children come to the
camp In their bare feet. Jinny of them
bring baskets to carry the food home.
It Is a common sight to see some of
the women and children take scraps
from the leavings of the soldiers. Col.
Hoffman, of the Eighth regiment, was
asked If all of these persons were for
eigners, nnd ho replied that a good
many belong to the English-speaking
classes.
The officials of the mine workers'
union deny there Is any actual want.
They maintain the loc '1 unions are well
nble at tills time to take care ot all
cases of distress.
The troops remain In camp all day,
drilling and practicing at the rifle
ranges. The strike situation remains
unchanged, and the region hereabouts
Is peaceful.

WONDERFUL GALAPAGOS.
Captain Tcllo of Mineral Wealth and
an Extinct Race.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated l'rcs.
San Francisco, Aug. 11. Captain
Richard Nye, who woh one of those on
the steamship W. S. Phelps, tells of
many wonders of Galupagos Islands,
which that vessel recently visited. He
said todav:
"The Islands are as full of minerals
as shnd Is of bones. On Albemarle
there is an extinct crater, miles In di
ameter, In which there Is In sight 40,'
000 tons of pure sulphur. The crater is
about ten miles Inland and a tramway
will be necessary for transportation to
the coast, but this should be a small
matter, considering the possible profit.
"One of the queer things In Albe
marle Island Is that It Is overrun with
wild dogs. . Tho animals are a mongrel
breed and were left on the Island by
whalers. Thd dogs have become wild
nnd are extremely vicious. They are
wolf-like In their habits and run In
droves."
Captain Nye also tells of a remark
able lake on the island of Chatham at
an elevation of 3,000 feet above the sea
level. This lake, according to the cap
tain, rises and falls with the tide and
no sounding line hus ever reached Its
bottom. Many relics of an ancient
race were found.
PHILIPPINES
JMtOBLEM
Discussed by Hon. H. C. Gros-
venor, of Ohio, at
Chautauqua.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Chautauqua, N. Y., Aug. 11. The
Hon. H. C. Grosvenor, representative
In congress from Ohio, speaking be
fore 9,000 people here this af
ternoon on the Philippine problem, af
ter reviewing the conflict of views as
to the acquisition of territory from the
founding of the government down to
the present time, said:
"I want to impress this that the
problems of our powers In the Philip
pines involve the very principles that
we thought were settled in 1SC0; that
tho constitution reached out from tho
state and covers each person In every
land under the sovereignty of the
United States. It is the same battle
we have fought over again, with the
same decision. The problem, In tHe
opinion of all Intelligent people, Is now
eliminated from our politics. "
"When I was asked to come to Chau
tauqua, the aim was that I should pre
sent the problem from the vicw-noint
of the administration, perhaps as op
posed to that or Dr. Schurman, and I
expected my time to be occupied with
replying to his criticisms. However, I
am happy to say that while I have
stood still in my position upon the
question, that gentleman has reached
that view-point where no word that ho
has uttered on tho platform falls of my
hearty endorsement. If he has ever
had any Ideas except that the govern
ment was to deal fairly and justly by
Its Insular wards, even this has evi
dently brought to him a full apprecia
tion that this government is going to
do Its duty, f"
"We should feel proud and thankful
that no act has been done by the ad
ministration with reference to the Phil
ippines that brings any discredit to
our people.
"In the declaration of war was In
serted a few words which ought never
to have been there, and I both spoke
and voted against them repeatedly.
This declaration, known as the Teller
resolution, declared that our purpose
In the war was not ajrcrandlzempnt
and that we did not want any terri
tory. I did and I had Cuba In mind.
I believed then, and believe now, that
she Is too near nnd presents too great
possibilities of trouble to permit her to
wander away from us In any way. We
ought then to have taken her on fair
terms and planted our flag there to
stay. But the declaration went In, nnd
we have done with Cuba Just as we
said we would do.
"The farmer who plants tho seed Is
not primarily responsible for the crops
and sp we who have planted a republic
In Cuba and watered It with our
prayers and our blood are not respon
sible for Its realization. If It does suc
ceed, it will be the first republic ever
thus established. I hope the Cuban re
public will flourish, but if she ever
reaches out a hand for help, I would
step out into the water, If need be, and
take her In."

the first money goes to the winner of
the fastest heat, second and third
moneys In the same way, while the
fourth goes to the horse holding the

a distinct race. Prince Direct wus the
favorite at 2 to 1 In all three heats,
but he was not able to get to the front
till the third.

was also on the same plan and a good
field of nine met. The fastest race of
the day was the 2.06 pace, for which
Dan R. was the favorite at 2 to 1, tak
ing first and third heats, and under the
Brighton Beach rule only the two heat
winners could start, yet the deciding
heat was the sensation of the day. The

DISPUTE WITH MEXICO.
Tho Four Arbitrators on tho Case
Will Meet September 1 to
Appoint the Fifth.
B Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press1.
The Hague, Aug. 11. The four arbi
trators In the dispute between the Uni
ted States and Mexico regarding the
payment of damages In connection
with certain church property in Cali
fornia, will meet on Sept. 1, to appoint
a fifth arbitrator. The full court will
meet on Sept. Id, to deliberate on the
subject. The arbitrators for the Uni
ted States are Sir Edward Fry, of
England, and F. De Martens, of Rus
sla, and the Mexican representatives
are Puglnnl Gulnas Chill, of Italy, and
Savornln Lehmann, of Holland.
The sum involved Is $990,862, and the
arbitrators are to decide what part of
that sum If any Mexico must pay. The
Pious fund was originally established
to enable the Jesuits to carry on mis
sion work, In what Is now New Mexi
co, and California. The Spanish gov
ernment expelled the Jesuits in 1767,
and seized all of their property which
thereafter was administered by the
Franciscans. When Mexico gained her
Independence she took charge of the
fund. In 1842 Mexico sold the proper
ties of tho fund and guaranteed tho
church authorities 6 per cent, on It on
perpetuity. At the time California
was ceded to the United States Mexico
stopped paying this' interest. . In 1846
Mexico paid $90,000 arrears on award
made in favor of the church authori
ties by Sir Edward Thornton. Since
then nothing has been paid. Arch
bishop Rlordan, or San Francisco,
sailed on the Celtic on Wednesday last
for Europe. He will go to The Hague,
where he will present the church's
claims for the Interest on the fund.
