VICTIMS OF REBELS
Particulars of the Affair in

SHIELDS WAS KILLED


Manila, Oct. 3.-Persistent native
reports. which are generally believed
to have been current in Manila for sew
eral days, are to the effect that Cap
tain Devereux Shields ami company f,
Of the Twenty ninth infantry, consist
ing OF As men. stationed at Boag, Mar
induque island, embarked Sept.mber
13 on the gunboat Villalobos and land
ed on the Martinique coast September
Ia, where 800 of the enemy, armed with
rifles, supposedly from Luzon, sur
prised the Americans. The latter
fought for several hours, until their
ammunition was exhausted, and they
were overpowered and surrendered, re-
lief being impossible. At least four oil
the soldiers were killed, among whom,
according to reports, were Captain
Shields. The Americans also had sew
eral wounded.
Lieutenants Reiff and Bates, on
board the gunboat Yorktown, left Ma
Mia Monday. After gathering troops
at Batangas they proceeded to Marin
duque to verify the reports regardint
the fate of Captain Shields and hi
men, and in case the native rumorf
were we'll founded, to punish the rebels
and release the captives. News from
this expedition is awaited with som'
anxiety at Manila. In the mean
while, the censor prohibits the trans
mission OF news concerning the affair
Colonel Edward Il. Hardin, Of TIN

Relations Between the Two Countries
Not the Most Agreeable
New York, Oct. 8.--The Herald's
correspondent in Bogota says no action
will be taken ON the protocol recently
signed by Minister Uribe and the gov
ernment of Ecuador. The protocol is
not approved because Of the Colombian
authorities waiting for important data
in regard to the attitude OF Ecuador IN
connection with the invasion OF the
southern frontier OF Colombia. Colonl-
bia is also investigating whether Ecua-
dor has been in connivance with Vene'
zuela.
In the meantime the Colombian gov
ernment has given orders to the milf
tary authorities en- the Ecuadorian
frontier to maintain the strictest neu'
trality. The Liberal revolution Is not
limited to guerrilla warfare in the de-
pai tments Of Cundina, Marca and Toll
ma. The revolutionists in the north,
commanded by General Santos, have
offered to capitulate.
General Pinzen, the hero oil the
northern campaign, became minister
OF war on September 10. He has
strengthened and made the department
more popular
The Marroquin government IL now
recognized by the diplomatic corps re-
siding in Bogota. Communication be-
tween Lake Maiacaibo and Ecuade has

citation.

et"dVHs
The vista that the possibilities of ir-
rigation reveal, says the Los Angeles
Herald, is almost stupendous, as few
facts and figures prepared by the Ma
tional Irrigation Association demon
strate The federal government today
owns 100, 900, 900 acres Of land, which
is worthless only because it is arid.
This "unwatered empire" can be re-
claimed by irrigation and rendered
capable of sustaining population of
at least 50,000,000 people. In the
words of the secretary Of agriculture in
his last annual report: "More than
one-third OF the country depends upon
the success of irrigation to maintain
the people, the industries, and the
political institutions of that area, and
future growth will also be measured by
the increase OF the reclaimed area. In
region which, in the extont OF diver
sity OF its mineral wealth, has no
equal on the globe, the riches OF the
mines in the hills are already surpass-
ed by the productions OF the irrigated
farms in the valleys, and the nation at
large is at last awakening to the fact
chat the development of the use OF the
rivers and arid lands OF the West will
constitute one of the most important
epochs in our increase in population
and material wealth. Z"
Work for the Federal Government.
These stupendous possibilities also
present colossal problem How may
this gigantic desert be transformed
into land of prosperity? Who is to
redeem the national domain by COM
prehensive system Of reservoirs? 1t has
been demonstrated by 90 years of expe-
rience in irrigation development and
by the reports OF government experts
and engineers that the great problem
can only be solved by the federal gov
ernment. Captain Hiram Nj. Chitten,
den, engineer corps, u. s. A., in his
report on Surveys for Reservoir Sites. !"
declares emphatically that reservoir
construction in the aid regions OF the
West can properly be carried out only
through public agencies. Private
enterprise can never accomplish the
work successfully. As between state
and nation, it falls more properly
under the Iatter.'
Ten Years Would Reclaim the West.
II is estimated that $l4S, 900, 900
would reclaim the arid lands Of the
West; that an expenditure by the fed
eral government Of ST. 100000 year
for 10 years would open up lands for
the settlement Of a population as big as
that OF the entire country at present.
An appropriation OF 500, 900 was made
at the last session OF congress for pre-
liminary surveys to discover the best
locations for the immense reservoirs.
The assistance OF every organization
and OF every individual in forwarding
this all-important work should be well
coined and assisted in every possible
way. GUY II. MITCHELL,
