More Labor Troubles.

A Baltimore dispatch Of the 9th inst.
says: The blockade on the Chesapeake

raise it at Hancock by means of Il sher-
it's posse having failed, Gov, Carroll
to-day took steps to bring the military

that the threatened strike of engineers

Friday has had something to do with
the active military preparations which
have been in progress for the past
tw~enty-four hours. The Baltimore and

RETAKISG LOST GROUND.

4 correspondent at Sistova under date
of the 9TH inst, telegraphs that Generals
Schackoskoy and kruedencr have re-
taken the positions held by them previ-
Gus to the disastrous battle at Plevna.
Schackoskay is 10Y quartered at Poro-
dain, and kruedener is lying at Ters-
tewk, and are daily receiving large re-
Inducements. The Russians are strain
ing every nerve to retrieve their late
disaster and to

to reap all the advantage which might
result from their chance of success. Four
more Russian corps which might have
been lying in Roumania are hurrying
to the scene of operations III Bulgaria.
A sanguinary battle may be looked for
within the next few days.
A dispatch from Kasarlik says, the
Russians intend to strike the Turks
about Plevna and Loyica. General Sho-
bclotf will have the command, and it
has been determined that before push
ing any further south
A VIGOROUS EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO
CRUSH THE TuRKISH FORCES,
north of the Balkans. Gen. Gourkha
has destroyed the railway between jam
boil and PhillipopoIis. The whole coun-
try between kaSanlik and Adrianople
will soon be destroyed, owing to the
strife between the Turks and Bulgarians,
unless the Russian press rapidly for
ward. The Bulgarians could not be in
duCed To rise before the Russian disas-
ter ut Plevna, but the fear of a Turkish
massacre has now driven lage numbers
of them totake the field, thinking it bet
ter to die like men with arms in their
hands than to be slaughtered in cold
blood by the Bashi-Ba2ouks.
\ Vienna telegram Of tho 9TH inst.

1t will be seer by these figures that
the excess of imports over exports ex-
ceeds S750,000,0 0O. Taking in the Unit
ed States for that year would reduce this
about 100000, 900; but then it is not
easy to explain why all this trade
should be carried on at so great a loss.
The only explanation that is likely to
be given is that it is not an evidence of
decrease Of wealth for a nation to i'm
port more than it exports, nor an evil
dence of prosperity for a nation to ex-
port more than itimports. The reverse
is far more likely to be true.

The Samoan Islands.

The cabinet has been considering a
proposition of the inhabitants of the
Samoan Islands, asking the government
Of the United States to extend its pro-
lection over the islands. These islands
are six in number, comprising an area
of $3.50 square miles-a little more than
that of the State of Delaware. They are
situated in the Pacific Ocean in south
latitude 49, to IA and longitude 16S .
to 100 west. They are of volcanic
origin and mountainous with Il rich
soil, hot moist climate and luxuriant
vegetation, Forests Of palms, bread
fruit trees, cocOanut trees and llnanas
covering the mountain sides. Coffee,
sugar, yams and nutmegs are pro-
duced. The inhabitants are we'll in
formed, ~peaceable and industrious ;
they are of the Polynesian race. They
are to a great extent a Christian people
and are worthy of the protection Of the
United States. The cabinet did not
reach any conclusion and deferred the
subject until further information was
received.

THE President has issued a general
order prohibiting the sale Of firearms
to Indians and rcvoking all licenses al
lowing trade in these articles with In
dams. and has ordered the army 10
enforce the order. In addition to this
the army will, as fast AS Indians are
captured or surrender, dispossess them
of all firearms. There is no doubt but
that this course, if carried ont to the
letter, will go far toward putting an end
to Indian depredations on the frontier.
1t car do no harm to the Indians either,
AZ they do not o make their living
by hunting. They have for several
years spent the winters loaiing around
the reservations and drawing their sub
~sistence from the government, and
during the summer season occupied
their time in raiding frontier settle
ments, stealing and numbering. The
enforcement of this order will doubtless
prove II wise Indian policy.

THE CUBAN WAR.

Advices from Havana, Aug. 9TH, say
rumors are current that Joveliar will re.
sign and be succeeded by Gen. Blanco.
Gen. MARTINEZ Campos has sent dis.
patches to the King explaining the stu.
alton of the campaign, and stating that
the insurgents are rs well supplied with
Information by spies, and their facilities
for ~disbanding when pursued are such
that it takes 100 soldiers to look after
ten insurgents. General Campos, there
fore, requires $4,000 more troops to
crush the Instruction. Campos further
says the insurgents will only surrender
on receiving their independence, and
recommends the Spanish government
to adopt one proposition or the other.
BAD BURNS.
London dispatches of August 9TH re-

The home rulers to-day privately con

der without passing any resolution.
THE CHURCH OF ROME.
A dispatch from Rome of August 9th,
says Cardinal Simeoni has addressed a
circular to the Papal nuncios, instruct
ing them to inform the various govern
ments that whatever notifications may
be found requisite in the ceremonies OF
the next conclave, they will not be OF a
nature to interfere with the rights OF
Catholic powers, nor lessen the facilities
for their expressing them fully and

Advices from India, of August 7th,

THE movements Of the armies Of Rus
STA and Turkey for the past week have
not been important. Russia has been
devoting all her energies to bringing for
ward all reserve forces and strengthen
ing her position so as To hold what she
has and recover the lost ground in the
vicinity Of Plevna; while Turkey has
been collecting her forces to meet the
next advance Of the Russians. Gen.
Gourka, who has been operating south
Of the Balkans with n Russian CORPS of
10000 men, has retreatcd to the noun
tain passes III which he has fortified
himself awaiting reinforccments. In
front Of him is Suiieman Pasha with his
corps and that of Raouf Pasha, SO that
the Turkish provinces south Of the Bal
kans will not likely suffer any further
invasions by Russians for some time al
nj! events. North of the Balkans the
armies of both nations are concentrating
about midway between Rustchuk and
the Balkans and the great battle of the
war is likely to occur in that vicinity
very soon.

mence to stir up trouble, and the quick
and anxious ear of the Cheyenne takes
it in as a funnel takes water. No time
elapsed before the bad talk reaches
Gen. Mckenzie or Lieut.. Clark, the
Sioux of bad blood is Spotted" and
his letters, though unseen, are drawn
as securely as Cheyenne shadows can
make them. If there is pilfering 60
ing on, if arms are concealed, or if hos
tiles attempt to come into the Agency
undiscovered, their same unerring saw
age instinct is ready to Illustrate OF to
punish. Sioux scouts are also enlisted,
and their vigilance over the Cheyennes
is equally close. Jealousy, and pride,
and revenge, make it a case of ''dog eat
dog" The Sioux scouts even bring
in prisoners of their W tribes in order
to prove their fealty to Gen. Crook. 1t
is also stated upon good authority that
such a remarkable control has the Cen
eral gained over these people that many
of them would not hesitate to shoot re-
creant memberso their own bands if such
were caught in the act of sowing dis
sension. Crazy Horse recently sent in
the message that he had managed to
fight the white soldiers but now
that his own people were
turning against him there was no hope,
and he was ready to bury the Ratchet.

Scarcely a move has been commenced

winter that was not heralded to men,

and-blood telegraph almost before it
could be executed. One or two of these
scouts will mount their fieetest ponies at
any moment, penetrate the heart of the
hostile country 200 or 800 miles distant,
enter a village, and, after a grand two
or three days. powwow, silently steal
back with information as minute as a
white spy could hope to gather in civil
lied warfare. Not only has the Gener-
al, with his characteristic keenness,
worked these matters down to a very
fine point, bnt the experienced Aides
who surround him-Maj. Randall and
