"No one can deny the existence of race

he may deplore it. The race problem is
with us, and it will require the intelli-
gence and patriotism of all our people,
North and South, white and black, to
solve it. But the existence of this very
race prejudice should be a warning to us
not to bring in new race problem even
more difficult of solution. 1t should be
a warning to administering carpet-bag
government in distant colonies over peo-
pie who are to be denied independence

THE CENSOR'S HAND
Permission to Cable News of
Disaster Refused.
Corresponds Mt Had to Send it Via Hong Kong
Capt. Shields Reported Killed in Battle
on Marinduuue,
(By the Associated Press.)

Manila, Friday, September 2S.-(Via
Hong Kong, October 1st )-Persistent ma
tive reports, which are generally believed,
have been current in Manila for several
days to the effect that Captain Devereux
Shields and Company F, of the Twenty
ninth regiment of infantry, consisting of
54 men. stationed at Boag Martinique
Island, embarked September 18th on the
gunboat Villabos and landed on
Martinique, September 14th, where 300 of
the enemy armed with rifles supposedly
from Uuzon, surprised the Americans.
'The latter fought for several hours until
their ammunition was exhausted, after
which they were overpowered and sur
rendered, relief being impossible. Four of
the soldiers were killed. among whom, ac-
cording to reports, was Captain Shields.
The Americans also had several wounded.
Lieutenants Reeves and Bates. of the
staff on board the gunboat Yorktown,
left Manila Monday. After gathering
troops they proceeded to Martinique to
verify the reports regarding the fate of
Captain Shields and his men, and in case
the native rumors are we'll founded, to
punish the rebels and release the captives.
News from this expedition is awaited with
some anxiety at Manila. In the mean
while the censor prohibits the transmits
sion of news concerning the affair.
Colonel Edward E. Hardin, of the Twen-
ty-ninth regiment who now is in Manila
admits it is possible that the native re-
ports may be correct.
The first news of the disaster to Com
pany F, of the Twenty ninth regiment,
was received by the Associated Press from
Washington, September 2Sth, the censor
at Manila. as shown in the dispatch OF
the Associated Press from that city hav-
ing refused to permit the transmission of
the news by cable direct to the Associated
press. Consequently the correspondent
of the Associated Press was evidently
compelled to send his message by mail
TO Hong Kong, from which point it was
cabled to the Associated Press here.

(By the Associated Press.)

Philadelphia, Oct. 1.-The mine oper-
ators of the Wyoming Lackawanna and
Lehigh regions today, at a meeting at
Wilkesbarre, followed yesterdays action
of the Reading Company in Offering an
increase of 10 per cent. in wages to the
mine workers. They furthermore decided
to reduce the charge for powder from
$2.75 to $1.50 per keg The latter price
has prevailed at the Reading Company's S
mines for long time. The action of
the Wilkesbarre meeting means an in
crease of 10 per cent. to all mine work.
ers except miners.
The latter will earn an increase of
about 10 per cent. by reason of the re-
duced cost of powder.
The meeting was attended by repre-
sentatives of all the leading railroads
which run into the mine regions named.
Some of the independent operators op-
pose the proposed increase unless the coal
carrying companies reduce the tolls on
their product to tidewater.
The strikers, however, show no indica-
tion of accepting the offer. None returned
to work today at the Reading Company g
collleries in response to the notice of
higher wages; in fact, many who had
been at work there quit and joined the
ranks of the strikers. AS a result there
were fewer collieries in operation today
in the Schuylkill region than at any time
since the strike was inaugurated
In the other regions there were also ad-
ditions to the strikers forces.
Notices of the increase in pay were
posted throughout the entire anthracite
region tonight, but the opinion is general
that few If any of the strikers will re-
turn to work. They say they have other
grievances to be adjusted besides wages
and powder charges, and they further
say they want recognition of their union
