It was anticipated that there would bo
trouble when tho nonunion men reached
Moncex.m, for tho strlkurs wcro watching

from Mriii'liirnl lrntimirkor
mill Hi leUlii) rrn,
PITTSm'KCl. Pa . Aug. IS. There Is talk
tonight of the possibility of an exten
sion of the strike to other trades. Tho
structural Ironworkers nnd brlcklnycrs are
becoming directly Interested, through tho
question of handling material made by the
United States Steel corporation. The strike
lenders say that they have the absolute
promise of support from those two trades
and that they will refuse to handle non
union mado material. They cite a num
ber of Instances whero the structural men
and hrlckmasons have shown their sym
pathy and spirit.
Opinion Is divided hero ns to tho ulti
mate action of tho Chicago men. As
sistant Secretary Tlgho Is generally under
stood to bo working nmong tho Chicago
men today and sonio confidence Is ex
pressed In his ability to bring them over.
Some of the strike leaders aru credited
with saying that they care more nbout
tlm moral effect of getting tho strikers
out than they do about tho Impairment
of tho mills there. Mr. Tlghe Is expected
here tomorrow.
Hen 1. Davis, member of tho advisory
board of the Amalgamated association, dis
cussed the situation freely today. Ho
snld:
"The Idea that because we are not strik
ing for more wages, tho sympathy of the
people Is not with us, Is n mistaken one.
TIvj worklngmcn of America realize the
full meaning of our struggle, for a prin
ciple for which tho forofatbers of this
country fought It Is the right guaranteed
by the constitution of the country. It IB
renin 1 rights with thu trust to organize
nnd mnliitaln prices. They any they do
lint object to our organization, hut In tho
same brjuth tell men In nonunion mills
that If they belong to our organization
they will lose their places.
"It Is this fundamental principle that
has brought out tho thousands of work
men In McKcesport; It Is this principle thnt
Is bringing to our support every truo
American worklngmnn In thn country: It
Is ono of tho greatest battles that has
ever been fought. There Is but ono end
to such n battle with tho men so deter
mined us out men are. The coming out
of thousands of men In McKcesport Is only
a sample of what will occur In all other
sections. There Is absolutely no truth In
the reoo.is that there Is dissatisfaction
among the Idle men In McKcesport. They
aro standing solidly and will not return
to work under nny ngreement short of a
recognition by tho trust that tho Amalga
mated association has a right to organize
Its mlllworkcr3 without Interference from
the ofllcers of the companies.
"Tho situation today is perfectly satis
factory to the organization. It will bo
learned soon thnt our organization has won
derfully recuperative powers nnd will re
vive, no matter how hard the blow dealt
to them,"
Minimi Inn Mr ii dinned Off Street.
Tho atrlke among the steel workers In
Wellsville took on new life todny nnd to
night excitement among the men Is up to
fevor heat. The fight between tho union
and noaunlon men on the streets Saturday
night, coupled with the 'action of tho steel
company In obtaining lodging for the new
men throughout tho town, hns greatly In
censed tho strikers. Saturday afternoon
about thirty of the now men left tho ware
house whero they have been quartered and
camo downtown and took lodgings previ
ously obtained for them by tho mill man
agement. A local restaurant had tnken tho con
tract to feed tho men. Sunday afternoon
a party of nonunlonlsts left their lodgings
on Broadway nnd started to the restnurant
for supper. Thoy wero Immediately pur
sued by a party of strikers nnd chased
back l-ito the house, which was Immediately
surrounded by n mob that hooted and Jcored
at the nonunion men. A brick wns thrown
out of tho crowd through the window of
tho room occupied by the nonunion men.
Forty tlnworkers from Lisbon are on their
way to Wellsville In carriages to assist
tho local strikers In preventing tho non
union men from going to work tomorrow
morning. Sheriff Noragen and Deputy
Chris Heck of Lisbon arrived from Lisbon
at 7 o'clock to assist tho local police iu
maintaining order throughout the night.

time. lie declined to see any of tho ninny
callers who sought him and his wife, who
mot them in his stead, explained that lis
wns worn nut ami sick nnd must have rest
In order to carry on his work. It Is ex
pected that he will be at tho strike head
quarters as usual tomorrow, but his
friends aro afraid that If the strike Is
prolonged he will break down. Ever since
the strike began he has given his personal
attention to every detail of It nnd, although
he has had assistance and the counsel of
his associates, tho real responsibility has
rested upon him. Ho was not well on
Saturday and In discussing his health
said:
"I simply must not got sick. I hnvo not
time to spare at this stage."
Ho ts a man of largo physique and or
dlharlly very Btrong, but hns lost In
weight nnd color during the last two
months,
McKcesport had n rather exciting day.
Early In the morning tho strlkeis wero
told that during the night a special train
bearing nonunion men had passed through
on the way to Mnnessen. Couriers wcro nt
once sent out nnd an effort mado to locato
the mysterious train. Lnter In the day
a carload of Immigrants wore found nt
Hrown's station and tho strikers were
sure thnt they had found the nonunion
men. Next It wns reported that tho
Demmler tin mills wero to be started and
the watchers around tho plant were doubled.
Pickets patrolled the river banks nnd rail
road depots and every suspicious stranger
was closely watched. Pittsburg was very
quiet. All the properties affected by the
strlko were closely watched by pickets,
but nothing happened.

tlonnl. WASHINGTON', Aug. 18. Captain Porry
of the battleship Iowa, now nt San Fran
cisco has telegraphed to the Navy depart
ment an acknowledgment of his lusttu--lions
to proceed to tho west coast of Pan
ama In connec.inn with tho revolutionary
troubles, but reports thnt tho butlers and
some other parte of the vessel need lm- j
medlato attention It l hoped by tho de
partment, however, that It will bo able lo
sail some time tomorrow. There was very
little news today lunrlng on tho Colombian
Venezuelan trouble. Secretary Hay received
no dispatches bearing upon the subject. The
Colombian nud Venezuelan legations weio
similarly without advice.
The most interesting development wus tho
news contained In n press, dispatch fr m
Quito thnt Kcuadorean troops wero ready to
luvndo Colnmbln and that a bnttlc wns Im
minent near Pasto. Mgr. SUvn, tho Colum
bian minister, while without advices from
his government expressed tho bcllif that
this now expedition was n part of the rev
olutionary movement and that It was In no
sense orgnnlzed by tho Kcuadorean govern
ment. Ho snld that many years ago there
had been friction between tho two govern
ments, but that In recent years no Impor
tant controversy had been raised between
them.
Minister Sllva Is In rccolpt of a letter
from Senor Izazn, tho Colombian minis
ter ut Quito, referring to tho cordlnl treat
ment he had received from tho Ecuador
government and tho courtesies generally
extendod him In his Journey through that
country. Minister Sllvn Is of the opinion
that the now movement ts In connection
with the Internal revenue In Colombia, un
less something unforeseen has occurred of
which he has not boon advised.
Many Colombian revolutionists have ac
quired arms and equipment from peoplo
In Ecuador and atnrted expeditions, thrco
of these having been organized last year,
mostly composed of Colombians, aided by
the sympathies and resources of some of
the Ecuudorcans. All these expeditions
have failed. Mr. Sllva snld tonight that
the government of Ecuador always had
protested that It had mado the utmost ef
fort to observe tho neutrality laws nnd
sought to prevent these Invasions.
Pnsto, wnere n battle is roportod Im
minent, Is in the Department of Cnuca,
where the population Is dense nnd credited
with n warllko spirit. The region Is very
mountainous nnd thcro are somo passes
across which only n well-trained expe
dition could go. Tho Rio Mayo, n wldo
river, also offers an obstacle to Invasion.
It 1b here, during the war for Independ
ence, that General Rollvar and General
Suore, with all tho resources nt t'helr com
mand, 'had their forces- detnrned for' ttIoag
period by the people of tho province.

CHICAGO, Aug. 18. Tho Record-Herald
will print tomorrow tho following statement
obtained from General MacArthur by an
Interviewer In San Francisco;
"War has wrecked the Pblllppincsand
laid wnxto wholo districts. The people In
many dlatrlctn hnvo relapsed Into barbar
ism. The best conditions prevail In north
ern Luzon. You mny say that tho whole
territory Is paclllcd but not tranquillized,
but It will not bo many months before law
and order aru observed everywhere.
"While tho conditions are not perfect,
they nrc gratifying. A few groups of armed
Insurgents aro still nt largo, but thoy will
soon surrender, ns their power Is broken
nnd they aro not being aided by the na
tives, These natives hnvo como to see that
surrender does not mean death, and they
arc coming in every week with thalr rllles.
Throughout northern Luzon tlis Insurrection
has been dead for omo tlnio nnd there Is
freedom of movemont. Still a largo crim
inal class thero commits depredations on
Americans nnd natives, though tho latter
suffer tho most severely, Tbo natives aro
eagerly seeking tho establishment of civil
government thnt may root otlt these bands
of criminals. Thero l every reason to be
lieve that tho whole country will soon bo
perfectly safu for travelers.
"At present thore Is some' trouble In
Samar, but General Hughes, with a largo
nnd elTectlvo force, has gone after the In
surgents, and will soon bring them to their
senses. That Is tho worst place, but It :1a
not IntrfcrlnK wjththe co,( r.usln'osx.ia,
Ccbu nnd Dohol and occasionally in south
ern Luzon there Is a slight outbreak, but
It Is caused by the criminal element.
"The civil commission was nbout to put
Into force some excellent Ideas for the
municipal government of the city of Ma
nila when I loft. The city Is In excellent
condition, especially In Its sanitary depart
ments, nnd its growth in business hns boon
enormous."

everything ready for civil government and
Oeneral Chaffee has received favorahlo news
from Mnngas, a dispatch from that dis
trict telling uniformly of captures or sur
renders. Mnny rilles have recently been
obtained and largo quantities of supplies
hecured, Mnlvar and his principal officers
aro being closely pressed.
Representative Julius Kahn of California,
who left Manila today, says tho great
needs of tho Philippines aro a fast llnu
of steamers to carry tho malls and to keep
the people In touch with current events,
electric cars and tho removal of tho nlpa
houses from Manila, thcso to bo replaced
by villas.
Kahn conversed with many educated na
tives and got tho impression that they
were by no means at all sufficiently versed
In populnr government to manage tho
affairs of tho archipelago.
Quartermaster Oeneral Ludlngtnn has
been considering tho possibilities of ob
taining coal in tho Philippines ut a cost
below the Japanese figures. In the opinion
of thoso qunllttod to Judgo, however, tho
coal avallahlo In the archipelago Is In

room floor. I went nn the upper deck,
followed by my partner. I saw tho boats
were gone. I went to a fall-hanging davit.
Ily this tlmo only the stem wns out of tho

"I saw a raft In tho wnter with eight or
ten people on It. I slid down the ropo onto
tho raft anil ns soon as I got on tho stern

and people down.
"Wo wero somo minutes under the water,
