A BATTLE WITH NAVAJOES Indians Who Defy Government Fight With Troops. THREE REDSKINS ARE KILLED Wizard Leader of Tribe and Nine Other Indians Made Prisoners. Peace Is Restored. In a battle between United States trocps and Indians, which occurred in southern Utah several days ago, three persons were killed and an- other wounded, all believed to have been Indians. The news was con- veyed to the Indian Bureau in a tele- gram from Superintendent Shelton of the San Juan Agency. The army command consisted of four officers and 74 men and three Indian scouts. The telegram, which was dated at Ship Rock, N. M., fol lows: “The troops have returned from southern Utah. They arrested Bylil- lie and nine other Indians. Three others were killed and one wounded while shooting at the Indians, police and soldiers. The Indians are quiet and I do not anticipate further trouble, unless it be from the Black Mountain Indians.” The Indians taken into custody are part of a band of Navajos that have been making trouble on the Navajo in Northwestern New Mexico and Northeastern Arvizona. Superintendent Shelton represents that the Indian Bylillie for some time past had heen making general opposition to the adoption vf the | white man’s methods, threatening to | kill the agent and some. of his as- sistants. When friendly Indians vis- ited Bylillle he refused to talk with them, but challenged them to a fight. The friendly Indians, who compose the vast majority of the Navajos, re- gard him as a wizard, and one of | them who died a few months ago at- tributed his illness to the witcheraft of the di:affected leader. Bylillie | once was driven out of the reserva- | tion with the admonition not to re-| --turn. { It is presumed that when tops appeared he met them force of arms and was captured while fighting. The war -department received a telegram from Capt. Carter F. John- | son, who was dispatched to the Ute | Indian camp in South Dakota, to! consolidate that tribe who threatened outbreaks. The telegram, which was sent at midnight from Thunder Butte, South Dakota, says: | “Visited Ute camp vesterday. | Found them quietly awaiting our ar- rival, expecting me to be able to ad-| just their difficulty. Will hold coun- | cil with head men to-day, and will re- | port results of meeting. Agent has dismissed voluntary force and con- trols situation with Indian police. No immediate danger to life and prop- erty.” | the with | WILL ENTERTAIN KAISER King Edward Making Elaborate Pre- parations for Event.

MINTS BEGIN COINING EAGLES Millions of Dollars of Gold to Put Into Circulation by the Government. Pursuant to directions from Wash- ington, the coinage of $15,000,000 of gold bullion will be undertaken im- mediately at the mint in San Fran- cisco. No gold has since August, engaged pesos. The mint force was considerably enlarged at the time the coinage of Philippine silver was undertaken, and it is thought this force will be adequate to handle the rush order for gold twenties. A large force at the Denver mint is engaged in coining the $40,000,000 gold that is stored there, and more bullion is pouring in daily from Col- orado and western mines. The total output of the mint for October will exceed $8,000,000, main- ly in $20 gold pieces.

Ac- cording to the latest reports of the disaster, a majority of the inhabi- tants of Karatagh lost their lives. The first reports of the casualties were exaggerated, the death list be- ing placed as high as 15,000. Kara- tagh has about 2,500 dwellers, and there is reason to believe that about 1,500 were buried. alive. Among those who survived the disaster are the Governor of Karatagh and his mother. Karatagh is ré&motely situated, and it takes a full week for news to get out from there. but, according to who has come through which practically hung over the town, broke loose and thun- | dered down upon the village, which is ‘almost completely buried.

Even these villages were overwhelmed by the fall of the millions of tons of earth and rock hurled into the air by the blast.

J to keep the operations JAPAN ORDERS RAILS Chicago and Pittsburg Mills Will Get Bulk of Orders. While the railroads and the steel rail manufacturers are still strug- gling with the problem regarding the modification of the pattern for new rails for use on trunk lines in this country, Japan has come forward sat- isfied with the existing design “of rails, and has placed orders for..25,000:s tons of new rails for delivery early next year. In addition, it is prepar- ing specifications: for 30,000 tons more, all of which will be rolled in Chicago and in Pittsburg. The latest contracts secured by the Carnegie Steel Co. for rails included 13,000 tons of rails of the Japanese order, and these are to be rolled at the Edgar Thompson steel mills in Braddock. The actual orders for rails now vn the books of the Carnegie Company are so small that the plants are slowing down. This is said to be according to early plans, for it is desired to be- gin heavy reconstruction work at the mills just as soon as the business can be allowed to quiet down. The Chicago rail plant of the Steel Cor- poratiop will, it is said, get most of the new business added to its books during the next few months, so as in Pittsburg as clear as possible and allow im- provement work to move with all possible speed.
