BATHE WITH
THE NWUBES
Troops Suppress An Unruly Indian
Band.
THE CAPTURE OF THEIR LEADER.
The Army Detachment Consisted of
Four Officers, Kventy-four Men anr"
Three Indian Seoul. Under Com
mand of Capt. H. O. Wlllard Three
Indians Were Killed.
Washington I Special).- -In a battle
between United States troops and In
dians, which occurred In Southern
Ptah several days ago, three personB
were killed and another wounded,
all believed to have been Indians.
The news of the occurrence was con
veyed to the Indian Bureau In a tele
gram from Superintendent Shelton,
of the San Juan agency.
The sriiiv command lotu-lsten oi
four officers. "4 men and three In
dian scouts. The telegram to the
Indian Bureau, which was dated at
Ship Rock, New Mexico, follows:
The troops have returned from
Southern Utah. They arrested Byl
llllie and nine other Indians. Three
others were killed and one wounded
while shooting at the Indians. The
Indians are quiet and I do not an
ticipate further trouble."
This Is the first information re-
relved here regarding the encounter.
The officials of the Indian Bureau
assume that the killed and wounded
were Indians.
The Indians taken into cutftody
are part of a band of Nava
Joes that have been making trou
ble on the Navajo reservation.
In Northwestern , New Mexlce and
Northeastern Arizona. For some
time a number of Indians, under the
leadership of Byllillle have been cre
ating disturbances because of their
disinclination to observe the regula
tions of the Indian office and their
efforts to prevent others of the tribe
from doing so. So pronounced have
their objections bee:! and so of
fensive their actions, that Superin
tendent Shelton made a request that
a body of soldiers be sent to the
reservation, and accordingly troops 1
and K, of the Fifth Calvary, under
command of Captain H, O. Wlllard,
were dispatched from Fort Wlngate,
N. M., to Arnette. Utah, on the 22nd
Inst. It was understood at the time
that they should simply go through
the Indian country on a practice
march, and it was not Intended that
their presence should mean any more
than a demonstration to the Indians;
Mr. Shelton's Idea being that the
mere sigh of the soldiers would have
a quieting effect upon the turbulent
members of the tribe.
The War Department received a
telegram from Captain Carter J.
Johnson, who was dispatched to the
Ute Indian camp, In South Dakota,
to conciliate that tribe, who threat
ened outbreaks. The telegram, which
was eent at midnight from Thunder
Butte, South Dakota, says:
"Visited Ute tribe. Found them
quietly waiting our arrival, expect
ing me to be able to adjust their
difficulty. Will hold council with
head men. and will report results of
meeting. Agent has dismissed vol
untary force and controls situation
with Indian police. No Immediate
danger to life and property."

THE GOVERNMENT TO
OPEN ITS VAULTS
Offers to Add $300,000,000 to Bank
Circulation.
MINTS ARE WORKING OVERTIME.
nan te Leoeen Milliena In Ready Cash
by Accepting Other Securities in
Lien of Government Bonds Now Held
at Washington to Secure Federal De
posits in the National Banks.
Washington ( Special ) . Secretary
Cortelyou had a conference with
Comptroller of the Currency Ridgely,
and took up the matter of increasing
the national bank circulation In every
way postthle to give relief as quick
ly as It can be done, not only In the
large cities requiring currency for
payroll and such purposes, but also
In Country districts where the bunks
have difficulty In obtaining currency
from their reserve agents. There are
a large number of bank that bave
left more than the maximum amount
of circulation outstanding. Many of
these banks have government bonds
on deposit te secure government de
posits. Mr. Ridgely is urging these
bankB to substitute other bonds ac
ceptable to the Secretary of the
Treasury for their deposit security
and use the government bonds thus
released in taking out increased cir
culation. There is a possibility of
increasing the circulation from $15,
000,080 to $20,000,000 in this way,
with circulating notes actually print
ed and now on hand in the vaults of
the Comptroller's office. There are
over $1)0.000,000 of government
bonds In the hands of the Treasury
to secure government deposits, and
It will be possible to Increase the
national bank circulation by more
thnn $300,000,000 before the limit
of capital stock Is reached. The tele
graph and telephone are being used
to urge the banks to take prompt ac
tion in this matter.
The conditions Vp tho Treasury De
partment are very satisfactory In view
of the large disbursements of the
past week.
Tho Director of the Mint has been
Instructed to work to the utmost, ca
pacity the mints at San Francisco,
Denver and Philadelphia for the coin
age of the large amount of bullion
on hand, and every other branch of
the Treasury Department that can
In any way afford relief Is working
overtime.
Secretary Certolyou conferred with
various representatives of the cotton,
sugar, grain, lumber and other large
Industries, with a view to facilitating
movements that will effect a substan
tial easing of the general situation,
and is much encouraged by the re
sults of hi efforts.
Comptroller Ridgely issued nn of
ficial statement which says:
"The Comptroller's office will In
every proper way facilitate tho Im
mediate increase of national bank
note circulation. With this end In
view all such national banks as have
government bonds In the hands of
the Treasurer of the United States
to secure deposits, and also have any
available capacity for increased cir
culation, will be allowed to substitute
other bunds satisfactory to the Sec
retary of the Treasury, as a basis for
government deposits, provided the
government bonds thus released are
used to Increase circulation.
"This rule will apply not only
where the bank transferring the
bonds from the deposit account take:
out the additional circulating notes,
but also where an arrangement can
be made for any other national bank
having capacity for Increased circu
lation to take out the additional
notes.
"National banks are urged to take
this puestlon up Immediately with
the department by telegraph and take
out the additional circulation as rap
Idly as possible. The comptroller's
office will be glad to furnish what
ever Information Is needed in regard
to circulation printed and on hand
and bonds available for this purpose.

Vladivostok (By Cable). An ex
citing little naval battle took place

crew of a Russian torpedo boat de
stroyer and their loyal comrades.

nous boat is the Skory, and she gave
fight to the gunboat Mandschur, the
destroyers Garsvevs, Smely and Ber
dltz and the garrison of one of the
harbor forts, manned by the Twelfth
Regiment of Artillery The 8kory
soon was overwhelmed, and she had
to be beached to save her from sink
ing. This was not accomplished
however, before her guns had done
considerable damage and several of
ficers and men or the other ships had
been killed or wounded.

agqd to get on board and take charge
of the destroyer. She steamed out

ing, and at once opened fire on the
town and forts. A gunboat and three
destroyers went out to engage her,
and with the aid of the forts Boon
had the Skory riddled and helpless.
She then turned and ran through tho
surf, and was beached. Those mem
bers of the crew who had not been
killed or wounded by the gunfire
I were arrested by soldiers as they
! made their way lo land. Among the
! men killed are Captain Kurosch, com
mander of the torpedo boat Ravy, and

New York. Must Loosen the Purse
strings. IMMENSE CARGOES ARE READY.
Bankers Insist That the East Must
Let Some of the Government De
posits Come Sonth So as to Hasten
the Movement of the Crops, That Will
Bring Many Million From Abroad.
New Orleans (CpeCIaJ.). Thai the
South Is financially safe and In posi
tion to benefit greatly the other por
tions of the United Stales was the
opinion expressed by New Orleans
bankers and business men. The Im
mense exports of cotton and nlBi
sugar and rice are relied on shortly
to bring In gold from abroad.
An index of the South's prosperity
was the amount of shipping at this
port Tuesday. There were 50 sea
going vessels In the harbor and in
addition scores of river craft, piled
high with sugar, molasses, cotton
and rice. The harbor activity was
all the more significant because It
followed on the heelJ of a month's
strike of 10,000 levee men. Within
the past 24 hours alone 20 seagoing
vessels have arrived.
Partly as a gunrantee for the un
hampered movement of the crop sta
ples speculative activity Involving
any unnecessary risks In other lines
of business wan suspended In New
Orleans, both local stock exchangeii
closing until Monday. The cotton
exchange continued open.
Reports came In from rural dis
tricts In Mississippi. Alabama. Arkan
sas and Tennessee that small banks
have followed the lead of the cities
and have taken united action to pro
tect depositors from loss of money
or confidence.
Following a conference of New Or
leans bankers, Charles Godchaux,
president of the Whitney Central Na
tional Bank, gave out the following:
"New Orleans and the South can
be of great benefit In relieving the
situation throughout the country if
the East will assist by allowing some
of the currency deposited with It by
the government to come this way,
in order to move the cotton and su
gar crops.
"The cotton movement Is slow,
owing to inability of the banks here
to supply the necessary cash. The
banks are buying foreign exchange
liberally, getting New York exchange
In payment thereof; but they will
soon be at a standstill, as currency
cannot be brought down to supply
their wants. If some plan can be
found to remedy this, conditions in
New Oreians and the immediate
neighborhood will be greatly Improv
ed. This will also place New York
banks In possession of foreign ex
change with which to obtnln gold
from abroad.
"The sugar crop, which promised
to be large. Is not a disappointment,
and the yield of sugar per ton of
cano Is fully up to expectations.

to the amount, It was estimated, of

copper to such an extent that the

made heavy purchase: of cotton and
the cereals for export, and arranged
to send over to this city $10,250,000
In addition to the previously an
nounced engagements of $6,600,000
made on Saturday. The totai of
$16,750,000 gold engagements for
two days was much git ter than
bank it g nouses had anticipated, and
thus constituted an unexpectedly
favorable feature of thfc day's busi
ness. AH of the $5,000,000 gold
lnld down In the open market in
London was engaged for Import to
this city. The National City Bank,
which engaged $5,000,000 on the
Continent, in London and In South
America on Saturday, secured $2,
250,000 more, principally, It was
snld. in gold due soon in London
from Buenos Ayres. Heldelbach,
Icklehelmer & Co. Becured in Lon
don $1,500,000 in addition to tho
$1,500,000 previously reported. Of
the other engagements by far the
greater portion were made in Lon
don, with the remainder In Paris.
These other engagements were as
folows: Lazard Freres, $2,000,000;
Guaranty Trust Company. $500,000;
Kuhn, Loeb . Co., $1,000,000; Bank
of Montreal, $1,000,000; B.nsso
Chinese Bank, $1,000,000; Hanover
National Bunk, $1,000,000.
Despite the heavy engagements ol
gold the foreign exchange market
continued very weak throughout the
day. Quoted rates showed an ad
vance of but V4 cent over Satrrdny,
with demand sterling quoted al
4.82 Vi and cables at 4.84. With
rates remaining far below the gold
import poirt and apparently affected
very little b) the heavy engagement?
for Import there was everywhere an
expectation in international banking

would assume very large proportions.
A fair average of the amounts esti
mated by various foreign exchange
experts places the total at $30,000,
