SUCCESSFUL REVOLT
Probable That the Caroline Islands
Are In Hands Of Natives.
THEY COMBINE and ATTACK SPANISH
Garrison Captured and Massacrsd-Blaeks
Fought with Great vlgor, While Spanish
Soldiers We're Poorly Equipped
CarOIines Divided.

San Francisco, Sept. i3.-The Caro-.
line group Of islands which belong to
Spain is undoubtedly by this time in
the hands Of the natives Of the group
with the Spanish garrison wiped out
News Of revolution in the islands
reached this city in letters from Homo
lulu brought by the steamer Coptic.
The story was borne to Honolulu by q
trading schooner which touched at
the Carolines.
Two native kings Of the group who
had long been at war with each other
some months ago declared truce,
combined their forces and began war
against Spanish authorities The
Spaniards were concentrated at Ponape
and 1t was here the natives made their
attack.
The blacks fought with such vigor
and In such numbers that the Span
iards were compelled TO retreat and
take shelter in the barracks, which
they held. The gunboat Quiros was
then dispatched to Guam for aid, but
on arriving there found the American
flag floating. The Quiros never re-
turned and at zap, in the Caroline
group. 1t was thought she was lost.
The supposition is that the Ladrone
garrison Of Americans had possession
OF her
There were 900 soldiers In Ponape
town, but these were poorly supplied
with ammunition and in no position to
resist prolonged attack. The belief
Is that the place was captured and the
Spanish garrison slain. The entire
group, unless the Spaniards made an
unexpected stand, must be by this
time In the possession Of the natives.
This story Is confirmed by James
Wilder, OF Honolulu, who recently re-
turned TO Hawaii from tour in the
Carolines He said at that time the
natives were much disconnected and
were preparing for a revolt.
The Carolines are a widely scattered
archipelago to the east Of the Philip.
pines. The surface is frequently we'll
wooded and the soil fertile. While
Spanish authority has been recognized
by the outside world, each island and
even the villagers formed separate in
dependent, but cooperative republics.
The most peculiar institution is
the Clobbergoll, kind Of CO.
operation for purposes OF mutual
aid and defense. The women possess
Clobbergolls Of their own and ex-
ert considerable share Of political in
tluence The Carolnes are divided
into three groups--thc Peleios, con-
tanning about 10000 people; the Cen
trail Carolines, with about 10000, and
the Eastern Carolines, with over lOO,-
900 people. The group was discovered
by the Spaniards In 1928

New York, Sept. Is. "A dispatch to

TU CHOW HELD UP.
A Chlnaman Robbed of a Basket of
Vegetables.

Tu Chow, . Chipaman residing near
Ysleta, came to town this morning and
related his experience with four high
waymen near Yslets late yesterday af-
ternoon. He says he was carrying .
basket of vegetables when he was
stopped by four ''Melikee' men who
wanted nothing but q spipe full Of to
oacco. He tolu them he did not smoke
but they insisted upon searching him,
which they did regardless of his OBJ
jections. They found only fifteen
cents in the Chinaman's packets. They
took that with much grumbling and
then threatened to beat his
mead because he didn't have
more.
The robbers finally relinquished
their Rrasp on the celestial and he
fed Ito his ranch, leaving basket,
vegetables, and robbers to settle mat
tiers.
The Chinaman states that Ysleta
seems to be favorite spot with the hobo
element, especially this time of the
year, when IL is warm. Not q day
goes by without several represent
atives of the hobo class entering
the fields and helping themselves to
all the fruit and vegetables they can
carry. He said: "Hobo no fraid of
gun. Gee ely heap no care. Shoot

The Chinaman, however, was assur-
ed that there would be no costs at
taching to the killing of Q thief, faud 1t
is altogether possible the report of .
shooting ARRAY will be reported from
Ysleta in the near future.

Saved BY a Smile.
Lippincott's

L1pplncOtCS
Many years ago the late DR. Shipper OF
Philadelphia left his house In the early
morning and was hurrying down the
street, when he noticed singular
and ferocious looking man, whoes gaze
was fastened upon him. With instinct
i've pOliteness and bonhomie he smiled,
raised his hat and passed on-when
suddenly he heard shot. Turning,
he found that the stranger had just
left his home with the insane intention
of killing the first man he met. He
was the first man; but his absolute
fearlessness and constitutional as we'll
as cultivated courtesy had put the man
off his guard, and the next passer by
caught the bullet instead of him. That
smile and bow had saved his life.
When tie country was younger
and the Indian was yet in the
land, q gentleman upon the then from
tier was hunting with friends, got sep
arated from them, and completely lost
his way. Every effort to retrieve his
steps led him still further into the
wilderness and night overlook him in
dense forest. Overcome with fati-
que. he lay down under q tree, and
slept profoundly. In the morning he
awoke with q start, with that indescrib-
able feeling that some one was looking
at him, and ,Rlancing up, he saw that be
was surrounded by hostile Indians, ana
that the leader of the band, in war
paint and feathers, was bending over
him in no amiable mood. He took In
the situation at glance-knew his i'm
mediate danger and had no means OF
averting It; neither did he under
stand word of their Ian
guage. But he was self-possessed,
knew the universal language of ma

upon the Indian, snd-smiled! Grad.
ually the ferceness passed away from
the eye above him, and at last an an
swering smile came over the face:
Both were men-both were brothers
and he was saved! The savage took
him under his protection, brought him
to his wigwan and after q few days
restored him to his friends Courage,

st. Louis and Mexican Trade.

The trade carried on between ST.
Louis and Mexico is already of consider
able volume, and is likely to be much
more SO by diversion of trade routes
rican war. Much has been done by
porte on the Atlantic Coast, where
regular lines OF steamships have
been actively engaged in the freight
age of American-made goods. Some
of these by reason of increased insur-
ance and serious war hazards are prac-
tically out of the business till the
situatisn changes. This may be pre-
come, perhaps not till hostili.
ties ceaee-but certainly till
assured. Meanwhile the rail routes
to Mexico will be unhampered by any
military risks, and ST. Louis, occu-
plying an advantageous position as q
distributing point, is by the very ma
ture of things. easily in reach of COL
den commercial opportunity. Every
thing is in its favor and it is not
likely to be neglected. Mexico must
have supplies of lumber, coal, bread
stuffs, pork, machinery and agricul-
tural implements, and if these are not
ports, the deficiency must be met else
where. It is not unlikely that Gulf
ports may be closed as tight rs bottle,
until the menace of privateering is
removed by the patrol of United
States ships. or the practical
humiliation of this kind of piracy in
neighboring waters. AS a railway
center St. Louis has all the advantages
so enterprisipg Q city could reasonably
wish for. It is in direct touch with
trans-continental lines, and in such
fvs0H Ia a q fe Inc IN nd In
Mexico, q good show of the same can
be assured if due energy is shown in
selling the opportunity.
The tide of trade from the exigencies
of the situation Is turning this way,
aud with the foothold already sc cured
in Mexican markets by the merchants
of ST. Louis, and its reputation in the
same for fair and open-handed dealing
already established, it would be insane
folly not to step in for the golden ap
pie waiting to drop in its Iap.-Tbe
