BlKnal was given. The engineer whistled
Ills reply to tho signal given and tho train
slowed down for the stop.
Instead of tho hurried signal to go
ahead tho engineer and firemen were con
fronted by two men with faces veiled with
black netting, About tho same time the
express messenger and tho mall clerk
wcro communicated with through the closed
doors of their ear. Three of the robbers
shot wildly and then tho call went to mcs
fiongcr and clerk: "Open up, hero. Open

A larger blast of dynamite wns prepared
and exploded. This did tho work. It tore
the sldo off tho car. The robbors leaped
through tho opening and tho frightened

their orders. Ho was overpowered and
narrowly escaped being torn in shreds,

that on July 26 and : --vnty-lUo
revolutionists entered ''""ii(ij .., 4.1,
Ilohlo and San Pablo, on tna .. tho
Panama toad, midway between Panama
and Colon, made prisoners of the alcaldo
and several policemen itnd retired to the
mountains, taking with them what arms
anil provisions they .could find. Ho says
reports were current of revolutionary gath
erings nt other points and an attack on
Panama was feared. A genoral uprising
seemed Imminent and the government was
becoming alarmed at ths situation.
Mr. Ifcrian, the Colombian chargo
d'affaires, received a toloitrntn tcday from
tho consul general for Colombia at New
York, stating that tho latter had received
a cablegram from tho goxernor general of
Panama, saying the guerrilla bands there
abouts nro causing no uneasiness. Tho
governor, according to recont ndvlccs, has
gone to Cartagena for soldiers nnd sup
plies. Other than this .Mr. Hrrrnn's ofTlctnl mall
from Colomblu, which reached him today,
gave no information on the situation.

In tho absence of oftlclnl advices the only
construction which tho Colombian legation
can place upon tho reported withdrawal
of the Colombian minister. Senor Rluo, nnd
his legation staff from Caracas Is that, hav
ing frund hla position In tho Venezuelan
capital unendurublc, perhaps threatened,
ho has loft the capital for Home point
where he can better co-operato with tho
olllclals than through tho medium of tclu
graphlc or mall correspondence.
Mr. Pulldo, the Venezuelan chnrge, ar
rived In Washington last night front a
summer resort, but he. too. states that he
has received absolutely no advlco from hli
government. Doth of these officials feel
sure that unless there Is nu Interruption
In their respective lines of communication
they would be Immediately advised If tho
situation hnd assumed tho aspect of actual
war between tho two countries.
Tho Stnte department received no tele
graphic reports from either country today
ami knows nothing of tho reported de
parture of tho Colombian minister from
Caracas. Tho department, however, has re
ceived a general resume of tho trouble nnd
the view taken In olllclal quarters as to
tho uprising.
Lieutenant Commander Nnthnn Sargent
will remain In command of Muchlas, which
Is expected to sail for Panama In a day or
two. Much reliance Is placed on the tact
and good Judgment of this officer by tho
Nay and State departments. He wns In
command of tho Scorpion at Laguayra
during the trouble In Venezuela some" time
ago nnd acquitted himself with much credit.
Ho is thoroughly familiar with South Amer

"It has been found necessary, however,

"The court will convene on the 2?tlr of

Schley requesting the admiral to communi

If any of them were located at a dlstanca

of the Rocky mountains, with beneficial
rains over 11 largo pnrt of tho drouth area.
Drouth, however, continues In tho Ohio
valley and In portions of Tennessee and
the Upper Lake region, whllo excesslvo
rains havo caused destructive fresheta In
the CarollnnB nnd proved Injurious In por
tions of Georgia, Florida nnd Alabama.
Kxtremely hot weather In the Interior of
California caused rapid ripening of fruit
and serious Injury to grapes In some sec
tions. I.ato corn has experienced material Im
provement In tho states of the Mississippi
nnd Missouri valleys and in Kentucky and
Tennessee, and with favorablo temperaturo
conditions In September tho yield In tho
Missouri vnlley will be lnrger than Indi
cated by provlous reports. In Ohio, In
diana and central and southern Illinois
tho condition of the crop has further de
teriorated, especially In southwestern Ohio.
In the Atlantic coast districts corn has
mndo excellent progress.
Rains havo Interrupted spring wheat
harvest, which, however, is nearly finished
over tho southern portion of tho spring
wheat region and cnuscd lodging In por
tions of North Dakota, whero tho grain
is reported as shrunken nnd heads not well
filled as a result of lato excessive heat.
Whent harvest on the north Pacific coast
Is In active progress with yields exceed

tho condition of cotton is generally re
ported from tho central and eastern por
tions of tho cotton belt, nlthough rust and
aheddtng nre moro or less Indicated, espe
cially In Georgia, Florida and portions of
Alabama, whero too much rain has fallen
In localities. Over much of tho western
part of tho cotton belt and In portions of
tho central districts, the cotton Is suffering
for rain and In the drouth region of Texas
Is falling rapidly. Picking Is In general
progress In Texas, except In tho northern
counties.
In tho middle Atlantic states and Now
England tobacco has mado favorable prog

whero tho crop on lowlands has been In
jured by too much rnln. In Kentucky
nnit in nortions of Tennessoo tho crop Is
greatly Improved, but In southwestern Ohio
it hns been seriously damaged ny uromn
aii renorts from districts east of tho

An exaggerated ease of Dowielsm Is re

Dowlc. In tho family Is a daughter who
Is In poor health, but because of her faith
Bhe Is denied medical trentment. Tho
head of the family wrote to Dowie, telling
him of tho Blcknoss of tho daughter and
asking him what to do to rcllove her. The
head of the faith wrote him to kill his hogs
and his daughter would get better. Tho
farmer killed seven hogs, but there has
been no apparent change In tho condition
of tho Blck girl. Ho thinks this Is due to
tho fact that ho had sold ono hog before
ho received tho massage from Dowie and
he Is hard at work trying to trace the
whereabouts of that hog, so ho can cut
Its throat and thus remove tho spell that
binds the child. In tho meantime the

SMUGGLE CHINESE AND OPIUM
Itrvriiue Dfllcem on Trnll of Men Who
Are Wnrklnic n Smooth
Scheme.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 13. Discoveries
have Just been made, says a Santa Bar
bara, Cal., special to the Chronlclo, which
arc believed to establish conclusively that
wholesale smuggling of Chinese from British
Columbia Into tho United States through
Santa Barbara has been carrlod on. The
revenue officers wero notified several wcckB
ago and for threo wcekB tho revenue cut
tr Mr.Culloch hna been cruising In the
waters of Santa Barbara channel in search
of evidence. Tho smuggling scheme Is out
lined ns follows: Lumber-laden vessels
leave Pugct sound, for Bouthorn California
points and after getting well out to sea run
over to Vnncouvcr, B. C, and pick up
Chinamen who aro ostensibly shipped ns
part of tho crew. Some of theso vessels
put Into Port Harford, San Pedro nnd
other ports with crowa moro than twlcn
as largo as necessary. When sailing, for
tho north tho crews consist almost ex
cluslvcly of white sailors.
Another method adopted Is the landing of
Chinese on on of tho Islands In tho chan
nel nnd they nro brought to Santa Bar
bara as Abalono fishermen. Just what dls
coverlcs have been mado by the officers
on tho revenue cutter are not known, but
they havo been placed In possenslon of Im
portant Information by local officers and
aro now following up Information given by
secret service officers, It Is said tho evi
dence shows that opium has nlso been
smuggled Into southorn California ports

PITTSBl'RQ, Pn., Aug, 13. Neither sldo
moved decisively today lu tho great In
dustrial conflict between employers and
employes in tho steel trade nnd the re
sult Is still in the balance.
Thu strikers mndo gains nt Pittsburg.
McKoesport, Wheeling nnd Bollalro In tho
nst twenty-four hours, hut In tho main
ho ndvnntago Is still with tho mill owners.
Both sldcH claim to bo preparing moves
that will bring confusion to opponents,
but neither side has shown Its hand. Tho
situation tonight can be brlclly sum
marized as follow rt:
Ten men, five of thotu sklllod, quit nt
tho Lower Union mill of tho Carneglo rom-
nny In Pittsburg nnd Joined tho strikers.
Their defection represented tho first break
In tho Carnegie forces of moro than 1,600,
Tho strikers wcro Jubilant over tho Inci
dent, but tho company claims to have filled
their places at ouco nnd thcro will bo no
morn desertions at any of the plants.
Tho Dcllalre plant, nt which tho men
struck on Sunday, was finally closed down
today, working short handed until yester
day afternoon. When another start will
bo mnde Ib problematical. Several hundred
boys employed at tho National Tube works
at McKec8port went out during the night
nnd day and their action materially aided
the effort of tho strikers to finally tie up
tho plant. Tho works nre going ahead
short handed, but the rankB of tho workers
nro thinning nnd tho supply of material
Is limited.
(HllelalN Ail lit It a Clnslni;.
Tho strikers mado g .Ins at Wheeling nud
the steel officials admitted today that Ben
wood would be closed down. Clark's mill
here la moving along full-handed, tho Lind
say & McCutchcon Is operating with n
small crew nnd tho managers tiro planning
to open Painter's nnd lncreaso the forcu
at Lindsay & McCutcheon's. A break In
tho ranks of the men who struck at Paint
er's 1c expected, but the strike managers
deny tbat ono wll occur. Another break
s reported ft possible at Now Castle, but
thcro arc an yet' 110 puattlvo indications of
It. Tho American Tinptate company has
a rmall force nt tho Crescent plant at
Cleveland and la also planning resumption
at other points with nonunion men. Tho
steel corporation has ordered that tho
Chartlers plant nt Carneglo bo dismantled
nnd removed to Loechburg.
So fnr good order hns prevailed, although
the steel officials assort that thoro has been
Intimidation at Wheeling, McKccuport and
Pittsburg. Both aides express tholr con
fidence In ultimate victory and aro actively
carrying forwnrd their respective cam
paigns. President Shaffor of tho Amalga
mated association leaves tomorrow for
Wheeling, whore ho Is to address tho
strikers.
Number of Men Ont,
Tho number of men out bb a result of
tho general order la roughly estimated
at lfi.OOO and on tho threo orders at 02,000.
Many strikers havo found work In Inde
pendent mills or at othor occupations and
many are Idlo merely becnuso tho skilled
mon nro nut.
The Chartlers plant nt Carnegie Is owned
by tho American Sheet Sleol company.
Tho orders to tenr It down wont out this
afternoon. It will bo removed to Leech
burg In tho Klskimlnetaa valley. Tho
strikers wcro called together yesterday by
Superintendent John Henry nnd preliminary
notlco of tho company's plnn served on
them. Eighty strike responded and Mr.
Henry told them that tho fires would bo
lighted nnd all preparations made for a
start today. Ho snld that at 2 o'clock tho
whlstlo would be blown and It tho men
failed to respond tho Area would never bo
relighted. Tho program as outlined wns
carried out, but when tho whlstlo sounded
tho mon did not respond. The fires wcro
at once drawn and the order to dlsmnntlo
nnd remove tho mills was given. The offi-
clnls of tho compnny Bald that tho plant
would bo down and moved within two
weeks.
Tho Btenl corporation holds Its ground at
Chicago, Jnllot, flayvlow, Youngslown, Co
lumbus, tho Klsklmlnetas vnlloy and tho
Carneglo group with the exception of tho
Instanco named. The strikers aro consid
ering plans for hrenklng the decision of
Chicago, Jollet and Bayvlew to stand with
tho steel companies, but what they plan to
do haB not been mado clear. They nro
charging somn of tho western men with
both dishonesty and disloyalty, nnd there Is
a general deslro among members of iho
Amalgamated hero for sorao form of In
quiry-
Pollee Culled to CarneKle I'litnt.
Thcro was no trouble nt nny of tho strlko
centers today, although It was anticipated
at tho points whero plants aro being par
tially operated and tho men are wavering
on tho qtienlon of going out. Crowds sur
rounded tho Carneglo plants hero today
and tho officials culled on tho police to
clear them away. Tho officials say that
tho losa of ten men at tho Lower Union
mill cnu bo directly traced to tho threats
of tho strikers who Intercept tho men on
tho way to Hnd from work. They mako tho
same complaint as to Bollalro, Whcollng
and McKoesport. They say that the strik
ers at Rlveralde went to Bellnlro and
literally bluffed tho remaining men Into go
ing out. They also rlalm that the sam
tactics gained tho strikers tho steel work
ers In tho National Tubo plant at Ben
wood and also forced out hundreds of loyal
employes at McKeesport. Thoy Bay they
hnvo given up hope of getting protection
from tho local authorities at McKccsport
and Whcollng, but havo given no Indica
tion thnt they Intend to ask for state aid
In elthor Pennsylvania or West Virginia.
Tho strlko leaders, on the other hand, In
sist that they aro proceeding entirely
within their rights and tho law and that
nny recruits won by them havo been ob
tained by means entirely fair.
