Appeal for Liberal Assistance.

The Ladies' Memorial Association of
Mount jackson, Shenandoah County, Va,
has issued an address, of which the fol-
lowing is part:
"Our soldiers cemetery, near Mount
Jackson, Shenandoah County, Va, is the
final resting place of nearly 300 soldiers
OF the Army of Northern Virginia. Their
prowess is known, because they followed
the plumes of Beauregard, Johnston, Long
street, Rhodes, Ashby, Gordon, Hill, Stew
art, Bwell, Hampton, Jackson, Lee. The
government to which they gave their al
legiance, which they loved so Loyalty and
so grandly defended, is no more, and the
Confederate flag is furled forever.
ITO these survivors, to Grand Army
posts, Confederate veterans, the Order
OF United Confederate Veterans, and a
magnanimous and generous people, we
appeal for liberal assistance in behalf
of the Ladies' Memorial Association of

Another American Vessel Fired
Upon by a War Vessel,
STATEMENT OF CAPTAIN QUICK.

He Declares That Before He Could Com
ply with a Command to Come To Two
Solid Shots Were Fired at the Schooner
Carrie A. Lane.
BREAKwATER, Del, July 25.-Captain
Quick, of the American schooner Carrie
A. Lane, upon his arrival here last night
had a tale to tell about athrilling encoun-
ter in Cuban waters with IA Spanish gun
boat. Two shots were fired at the Lane
by the man-of-war, and one of the schoon-
er's crew narrowly escaped being killed
by one Of them. The vessel was made to
heave TO and give an account of herself
before being allowed to proceed.
The schooner was off Port Antonio, and
making good time before a stiff breeze,
when on the 18th inst. she sighted "A
steamer flying the Spanish flag following
her. Captain Quick at first paid no at
tention to the stranger, but after IN hour
or so noticed that she was signalling him
to stop. He Their examined her more
closely, but could only make out that she
looked like u large tugboat, such as is
usually to be found in the harbors about
Philadelphia, New York and other Amer
lean seaports. While he was making up
his mind what course to pursue a puff of
smoke curled up over the steamers port
bow and a round shot whistled uncom-
fortably close to the schooner's mainmast
and plunged into the water on the other
quarter.
Captain Quick gave the order to haul in
sail and bring the vessel to, and while this
/ was being done one of the crew ran out
on the bowsprit to take in sail. AS he
stood there the gun on the Spanish war
ship doomed again, and another shot sped
on it's way toward the American craft,
this time coming so close to her that the
sailor on the bowsprit swears he dis
tinctly felt the wind caused by its rapid
flight.
The Lane soon came to a lead stop, and
the gunboat drew up under her quarter.
A boat was lowered, and four Spanish
marines, under the command of a lieuten-
ant in the Spanish navy came aboard.
They were fully armed, and their leader
very civilly lifted his cap and demanded
to know from what port the Lane had
sailed and whithor she was bound. Cap.
tain Quick gave The required information
inc produced his clearance papers in proof
of his assertions. Nc further search was
made, and the vessel was permitted to
continue on her course without further
molestation.
Captain Quick says that he could not
get the name of the gunboat, although he
tried to do so. He thinks that the Lane
must lave been mistaken for a fllibuster
ing craft, but insists that there is nothing
in her appearance to justify this belief.

TO PROTECT THE SETTLERS.


CHEYENNE, Wyo., July Ex-Governor
Richards received a telegram last evening
from the assistant secretary of the inte-
rior, notifying him that Brirndier General
Coppinger had been ordered to proceed at
once to the scene of the Indian troubles,
and orders such movement of troops as
may be necessary to prevent a conflict be-
tween the Indians and settlers. Later the
governor was advised by General Coppin-
ger that four troops Of cavalry had been
ordered from Fort Robinson, Ncb., to pro-
coed to the Jackson Hole country to pro.
tect the settlers. As it will require at
least two or three days TO reach Jackson
Hole with these troops, a battle between
whites and Indians may he fought before
they can be of service.
Adjutant General sitter, of the state
militia, wired yesterday morning from
Market Lake, Idaho, as follows. II met
an Indian captain Of policein Teton BaAin
yesterday, with thirty five horses, hurry
ing out with all possible speed. l saw
him again at II o'clock last night. He
says he cannot control the Indians, who
will fight at noon today"
There are in the Jackson Hole settle
ment sixty-tive men capable of bearing
arms, thirty.f women and forty chill
dren. All of these are gathered at the
settlement Of Marysvale, situated between
Grosventre and Little Grosventre rivers.
1t is possible that reinforcement IS from set
Elements east, on the headwaters Of Big
Wind river, and from the Mormons to the
south have reached them in response to
couriers sent out during the last week
asking for aid. 1t is estimated by the state
authorities that no less than 200 Indians
are surrounding the settlement. If the
whites have sufficient ammunition it is
confidently expected they can stand off
the Indians until troops come to their
aid.

continues with little change, except that
both sides have more firmly entrenched
themselves in their respective positions.
The employers, at a meeting in the Man
ufacturers' club. decided that they would
make no concessions under any circum-
stances, and that rather than grant the
demands of the strikers they will close
their mills until Dec. /, whom, as stated
in their recent ultimatum, the increased
scale will go into effect. There are still
5000 weavers out, and counting the loom

quence, the idle army numbers nearly
5000, The strikers are still confident of
victory.
