TROUBLE AT sARNEGAr PARK.

The New jersey Troops Called Out-Italian
Laborers Wanted Their Pay.
dispatch for troops from Barnegat Park
was received by Abundant General Stryker of
New Jersey early yesterday morning. He set the
military department of the state in active
operation, and within few hours on an order
OF Governor Albeit, who is commander-in-
chief of the New Jersey forces, three Camden
companies Of the sixth regiment were under
arms and the quartermaster generals Office
had special train loaded with arms from the
state arsenal, together with necessary sub
sistence, which was ready to move at moments
notice.
Further exchange Of kilograms resulted in
more pacific news, and before night Sheriff
Hageman OF Ocean county telegraphed that
there WAS no further need of state interference
The troops were thereupon dismissed.
Barnegat Park is an all-year resort It was
lately founded by active and retired officers of
the army and navy, and lies five miles from
Toms river, on the New Jersey Southern rail-
road. The trouble at the place grew out of the
dissatisfaction of several scores of Italian
laborers who had been grading public boule-
ward and had not been recently paid. There
was strike among them ten days ago and
threats Of violence were made, but peace was
restored till saturday, when another disappoint-
ment over tnelr money put the Italians In Q
ferment. and they threatened to burn down
the village. Women and children fed to shell
ter in the neighboring woods and citizens
armed for defense. Sheriff Hageman hurried
for Toms river with a posse of Smen, but the
situation still looked ugly at midnight and
hence the call for state aid. Yesterday, il il
said, the Italians were quieted with assurances
OF an amicable settlement today.
JERSEY SOLDIERS IN TERROR.
Col. Cooper, commander Of the sixth resi-
ment, before dismissing the men made a speech
to them, which he concluded as follows: "If
there are any men in this command who want
to hide under beds or jump out of windows
when they are called to duty in order to escape
that duty they had better take off their uni
forms and receive their discharge, which will
be a dishonorable one.''
This rebuke from Col. Cooper to his men is
said to have been called forth by some of them
acting in the way he stated in his speech. it
being necessary for the corporal's guard to
bring them to the armory under arrest. The
alleged fright of some Of the men probably
arose from joke started by some of the cor
porars guard, who told them that they had re-
ceived orders to proceed to Pine Ridge agency
and fight the Indians.

Refused Aid in Mfd.Ocean.

The action Of Capt. Whitson Of the British
steamer Pollux, in refusing the assistance
offered him November q by the steamship
Michigan in mid-ocean, is severely criticised,
since it has become evident that by So doing he
took the lives of twenty-five unfortunates::in
his own hands. The Pollux at the time was
lying to in the trough Of the sea with her en-
gines stopped and her rudder disabled Since
this time she has never been seen or heard from,
and her agents at Philadelphia, ". have
always been sanguine a. to her safety, have
abandoned all hope, and like many others they
now entertain the belief that the ship has gone
down. The Pollux was a tank steamer char
tered to carry molasses. She sailed from Rouen
on November IL, for Philadelphia.

Aspecial from Pine Ridge says that yesterday
afternoon, in accordance with instructions tele-
graphed from Washington. Col. Forsythe was
relieved Of his command Of the seventh cavalry
pending the investigation of the Wounded Knee
affair. Maj Whitesides succeeds to the COM
mand of the regiment Maj. Whitesides says
the affair was an accident. that a few moments
before the fighting began the squaws were mer-
rily peltinS the searching party with bundles Of
rags. The accepted reason for Col. Forsythe's
relief is the manner in which his troops were
placed in the fight.
THE SCENE OF THE WAR.
The accompanying map shows the region in
which the Sioux war is now being waged. This
territory lies on the southern boundary of
South Dakota, in the immediate vicinity and
north of the Pine Ridge Indian agency. At
present the scene Of the troubles does not cover
a space of more than forty miles square. The
Nebraska line forms the southern boundary
and the White river the western and northern
lines. Gen. Miles forces occupy a position along
these points. but there is no indication of Just
how far east his Gordon of troops extends. The
White river is the basin Of drainage of all the
country lying east and south Of the
Bad Lands. as the south part of the
Cheyenne is for that section on the north and
west. 1t will be seen by CHANGING at the map
how the water-how from each side ceases
abruptly at these streams. leaving the space
between them-the Bad Lands-quite I'M
drained, except for a few unimpo-tent creeks.
The Bad Lands occupy a space from twenty to
thirty miles in width and $50 miles long. The
Indians, for some reason or other, have not
gone into the Bad Lands for this camp, but
have settled in well-watered spot Just
north OF the agency. probably In the
