Gen. Goblin Issues -Sew Instructions to Sol
diers In ths Coal Region.
Shenandoah, Pa, Aug 30.-General
Goblin returned to headquarters from
the Panther Greek region last night.
He received the report of Major Gear
hart and made personal investiga-
ton of conditions there and then is
sued the following order:
1T is very evident from the recent
conduct of the riotous element i'm this
section that the conservative attitude
with which the troops have heretofore
borne insults has been misunderstood
and has encouraged this element to
repeated assaults upon the men i'm the
performance of their military duty.
This can NO longer continue, and
have personally Informed the chief
burgess of Lansford and Tamaoua.
and directed that information be fur
nished the authorities of Summit Hill
and Coaldale. that the troops will no
longer submit to insults or violence
from any source
You are therefore directed to arrest
any person using insulting langua ge.
epithets. or violence toward the troops
while in the performance Of their duty
Have such parties arrested and taken
to your guard house for future dispo-
sition. In moving troops place relia-
bic, competent and skilled marksmen
on the TANKS of the command, and arm
your file clOsers with loaded guns and
instruct them that in case of attack
upon the column by stones or missiles.
where the attacking party cannot be
reached, the men thus selected shall
carefully note the man attacking the
column, and being certain Of his man
fire upon him without any further or
ders.
"FOr the execution Of this duty se-
iect none but absolutely reliable men
who will make no mistake. On q gen.
eral mob. If resisted. use your bayonets
and butts vigorously, IL at all posi-
BILE. before resorting to volley firing.
1T Is evident that many Of the II.
censed houses in this community are
simply places Of RENDEZVOUS for the
riot0us and disorderly element. thus
creating them disorderly houses. You
will carefully note such houses and
report the names of the owners or par.
Ties holding the license to these head
quarters. that application may be made
to the courts for a revocation of their
licenses"
The principal reason probably 70,
the issuance of the above order was the
turbulence in the valley yesterday
The troops were busy at daybreal
protecting men who wanted to work
and the mob Of strikers was very i'm
sultSng and very bold, especially when
1t was seen that under prospect of pro
lection double the number of men US
ual went TO work at Summit Hill, and
that at every other mine where work
was going on the number of workers
was largely increased. The soldiers
had to use the butts and bay0nets OF
their guns several times in forcing bach
a mob intent on getting ''scab." Some
OF the rioters would not move unit
they were prodded with the bayonet
