WHITE SLAVERY.
A Terrible story Comes from the Caro-
lima Phosphate Beds.


lima Phosphate Beds.
NEW YORK, Jan 8 Chief Central
Labor Inspector Milholland has sent to
the district attorney the affidavit of an
Italian named Garabaldi, who called at
the barge Office after being a prisoner in
the phosphate beds of South Carolina for
nearly two years.
During that time he and a number Of
companions were ill-treated and one of
their number shot dead while trying to
escape from the place. Celestino Di
Marco, of East One Hundred-and-Thir-
teenth street, this city, is alleged to be
mainly responsible for the cruelty and
killing Of the men, according to the
story told to Inspector Milholland.
Garibaldi arrived here in 1883 and an
swered an advertisement calling for 300
men at No AZ Mulberry street. He
went there and was engaged to go to
work at JacBsonborough, Colleton
county, S, c., being told that he could
earn So a day. About thirty other ltal-
ians were engaged at the same time.
Fifty cents a day was the average sal
airy earned, and out of that the men had
to pay for their rations, which they were
compelled to buy from Di Marco. The huts
they were compelled to live in We're in a
frightful condition. The workmen began
to rebel and a guard of twelve men, with
rifles and pistols, was placed about the
camp with instructions to shoot the first
man who tried to escape.
To the negroes who lived outside the
camp Di Marco offered q reward Of $40
for every man that they brought back
who otte,nrt cd tp pgpaDp Dominica
Peni, Venetian named Johnnie" and
Nicola Vallean, managed to escape and
took to the woods and attempted to
reach a railway station seven miles
away.
They were within short distance of
the place when train rolled by; man
named Peppino, with half dozen
others, jumped from the platform, COW
ering the iunaways with their rifles
Peni tried to escape and ran for body
of water ahead of him. He was fred on
by Peppino and fell in the water and has
never since been heard Of.

com}ud 10 bo other to see that no
party, however small, Of the hostiles as
cape
Late Tuesday night the camp was
aroused by shots being exchanged by
one Of the outlying pickets, which were
stationed at distance of about three
quarters of a mile from camp. Imme-
diately everyone was under arms, horses
were saddled and two troops were sent
out to the scene. By this time picket
rode into camp, and stated that while
they were on guard band of Indians
tried to surprise them, shooting at them
from behind pile Of rocks. They inn
mediately returned the fire. AS the
night was dark the number of Indians
was not known, but, judging from the
number of shots that were fired, it is
thought th9t they must have numbered
at least twenty, The two troops hur-
ried out to the scene, but ON their ar
rival there, after making u thorough
search in all directions, they could find
no Indians
1t is thought that had the Indians not
met the picket their intention was to
make a rush into camp and fire volley
and then beat a hasty retreat in the
darkness. During the firing one of the
picllets was slightly wounded McCor-
mick, one of the guides, who owned a
valuable horse, turned him out to Craze
near the camp with lot of Indian
ponies. Being busy all day it was nearly
dark before he thought of going to bring
his horse in. When he arrived on the
ground, about two miles from camp, he
found his horse dead, with five bullet
wounds in his head It had no doubt
been killed by the Indians on account Of
their animosity toward Mccormick in
plotting the troops across the country to
the various strongholds.

HUMAN SACRIFICE.
Shocking story From tho Wilds of the

Shocking story FROM tho WiluB OF the
saskatchewan.
WINNIPEG, Man, Jan The story
of a deed which rivals in fiendishness
those of Massachusetts, in witchcraft
DAYS, comes from the Saskatchewan
valley. In June last an Indian, Blue
Horn, went hunting and trapping i'll the
Beaver hills, near Fort Saskatchewan,
accompanied by boy about years old,
the eldest son of Victoria Indian
While looking at his traps one day, ac-
companied by the boy, Blue Horn told
the latter to return to camp while he
continued examining his traps.
On return OF Blue Horn to the camp
he was surprised to find that the boy
was not there. The other Indians in
camp turned out and searched for the
boy but die not find him and finally
gave it up. Wednesday IA half f-breed
from Beaver lake, named Charles
Desehnaueit, found in the woods not far
from New Beaver Lake trail and about
six miles east Of Fort Saskatchewan, the
skeleton Of the child in standing posi-
ton, its arms stretched ont and wrists
tied to two trees.
He did not remove the skeleton, but
went to inform the father Of the lost
boy in order that he might see it and
identify it as the remains of his son,
From circumstances surrounding the
affair it is evident the lost boy had been
offered as a sacrifice to secure good luck
in hunting by Indians. AS is their Gus
tom, the savages had hung about the
body bits of cloth and trinkets to pro.
pitiate the gods.

Too MANY FaIseboods.

CHICAGO, Jan. 8 Capt. E. i. Hug
gins, at army division headquarters here,
received a dispatch Wednesday evening
from Asst. Adjt. Gen. Corbin at Pine
Ridge, saying a number of Indians are
coming into the agency from the camp
of the hostiles. How many of the saw
ages are en- route it was impossible to
approximate. According to the dispatch,
the general situation has not greatly
changed from the day preceding. The
message said the difficulty was well ex-
pressed by one old Indian who Wednes-
day put in an appearance at Pine Ridge.
He declared that too many lies are pass
ing in both directions between the agency
and the Sioux camp. The inference is
that when the real situation becomes
clearer to both sides the end will be less
distant than it has been made to appear.

ROVER REMOVED.
The Pine Ridge Agent Superseded by
the Presidents Order.

the Presidents Order
WASHINGTON. Jan. 8 The president
has ordered the removal Of Daniel F.
Rover the Indian agent at Pine Ridge,
and designated Capt. Pierce, Of the First
infantry, to assume the duties of that
position. This most important step has
been taken with the concurrence of Sec
rotary Noble and Secretary Proctor, and
will, it is believed go far toward restor-
ing the confidence of the Indians in the
good intentions Of the government.
Gen. Miles recommendation contem-
plated the removal or suspension Of five
indian agents and the substitution of
army officers in their stead, but it has
not been thought proper to make such a
radical change in the Indian policy at
this time The removal of ROycr will
accomplish all that is necessary at the
point where dissatisfaction with the civil
management seems TO be greatest, but
Capt Pierce will be as much under the
direction Of the interior department in
matters relating to Indian att3irs as any
other Indian agent,
He will have the adyantageof military
experience on the frontier, added to
army methods in distributing supplies
and governing the Indians ON the reser-
walton Mt Pine Ridge, just as several
other army officers acting as Indian
agents in this matter have, notably in
the case of Capt. Bulls, at San Carlos
Wherever the Indians are known to be
bad. army officers have been detailed to
maintain that order which the civilian
Indian agents do not seem to be able to
command.
There was report that the president
had made the sweeping change suggest
ed by Gen. Miles, and that Secretary
Noble was very much outraged by the
order. but there does not appear to have
been any foundation for the story.
Rover. the agent removed, was ap-
pointed last October, and to his inexperi-
ence much of the present trouble is as
cribed. 1t is no great reflection upon
him that he has not been able to master
all the details of such an important
agency in the short time Of his service,
which began under extraordinary and
troublesome circumstances.
