The Situation ill Mindanao Calls for the Active Movement of Troops. Mutiny of Native Crew of an Interisland Steamer.

Manila. August 1.-The Moro situa- tion in Mindanao is considered critical. and it is believed that the American troops will soon move against Bacalad. where the recent murder Of two men of the Twenty seventh infantry was plotted. A small party of Moros sur prised an outpost of the Twenty-sev enth at Camp Wears. Mindanao. or August F, killing two and wounding one American.
 General Chaffee, who left Manila on August F on a final tour of the south ern islands. reached Zambangoa. isl and of Mindanao last Friday. In a conference with the local commander General Chaffee argued that unless the American forces moved decisively against the hostiles they would lose the support of the friendly Moros.
 The native crew of the inter-insular steamer Hermanos mutinied at Fort Verac island of Catanduanes, last Thursday. They murdered the chief engineer Of the vessel and wounded the captain, mate, the second officer and one passenger, all of whom are Span iards. Members of the native constab- ulary went to the rescue of the ships officers. They fired into the crew and killed three of them. Twenty five of the crew surrendered and five jumped overheard and are believed to hare drowned.

But before sailing away th.. full complement of new men were se- cured.
 When the Pure Oil left her foreign port a stowaway made his appearance on deck. The fellow, a well-built young man. had sscreted himself among the coal apartments. and hun ger and thirst forced him to come from his hiding place. The fellows willing ness to work won for him the respect of the tanker's men, and when it was found that the steamer was shor. Of men the stowaway was added to tho. boats crew. It is now learned that ir was he who caused the dissatisfaction and led the sailors to desert.

Thus, while importations of manufac- turers' materials have practically doubled from 1881 to 1902. importations or articles other than manufacturers materials have increased but about F per cent.
 Comparing conditions in 1902 with these of 1892, there is an increase O. about 50 per cent in manufacturers ma terials and an actual decrease of about 10 per cent in other imports. In 1892 the importations of manufactur- CTS materials were $27S, 319, 966 against $41S, ,776,6S1 in 1902 and the imports of articles other than manufacturers ma terials were, in 1892. $535 2S1, 379 and in 1902, S4S4 $50, 390 These figures seem especially interesting in view of the fact that the total imports of 1902 were larger than in any year in the history of our foreign commerce.
 Even these figures, however. do not indicate. in all cases at least, the ac- tual growth in manufacturers ma tarials because of the fact that they
 Ire figures of values only and In many cases. prices have so much fallen that the value figures of 1902. when com pared with those of earlier periods, do not fully indicate the growth in quan- tity imported. The report of the chief of the bureau of statistics gives in con junction with the table above referred to another table showing the quantity of principal articles imported. It shows, for example, that while the value or raw silk imported in 1902 is only three and a half times as much as In 1SSO the quantity is more than five times as much. The total impOrtations of un- manufactured silk in 1880 amounted to ! 2. .562. .246 pounds valued at SIP, ,024 699 while that of 1902 was 14,234. S26 pounds valued at SAP 635, ,351. In India rubber the quantity imported has increased from less than r million pounds in 1880 to over 50 millions in 1902; fibers from 11SO24 tons in 1880 to 305, ,727 tons in 1902: tin, from 32 million pounds to 75 million pounds; cotton GncludinS waste) from 3,5CO,OOO pounds to 113 million pounds.

LIVE SEA SERPENT
 CAUGHT IN HARLEM
Eighteen Feet Long aad Two Feet
 in Circumference.

New York. August 1.-The sea ser- pent has been caught alive in Harlem river It's captor was Donald Burns, who has the monster on exhibition at his home, No. Dover street. Crowds went to his home today to see the ser pent, which is alive. It is eighteen feet long and two feet around in it's thickest part. For a month past bathers at Coney Isla~d and Gravesend have been telling how scared they were at some great serpent in the water. Their stories were received with the usual smiles that such yarns usually are. But for a week bathers in Harlem river have been scared by the sight of some strange monster. Burns heard about the sea serpent. and with two friends went to the Harlem river to look for if. They got @ large catboat and sailed cautiously about. Said Burns yester- day:
 When we first saw the monster he was humping himself up about a quar- ter of a mile away. We sailed right at him. First he opened his mouth and and darted out a forked tongue and then turned to run. Just as he did I threw a large trout net around him, and with the help of my friends landed him on the bank"
 Burns tied the serpent up in the folds of the net and took it home on a truck. It resembles a monster python, has large eyes and no ears. Now that Burns has got it safely in a large tank at his home he doesn't know what to do with it.

UPPER BERTH LEGS
 MUST NOT DAKGLE
Opinion on Sleeping Car Ethics by
 New York Magistrate.

New York, August IA hot, stuffy morning in a sleeping car and a TOW between occupants of an upper and a lower berth brought two very indig- rant messengers before Magistrate Pool in Yorkville court yesterday. J. C.. AfIleck, treasurer of the Eighth and Ninth avenue railroad, and Robert D.. May banker, 76O Broadway. were the names given.
 Mir. Afieck had lower berth, and MT. May the upper berth, coming down from Utica last night. The train was late and the night had been close and uncomfortable.
 According to MT. Affleck, he awoke early this morning and saw Mir Mays bare leg dangling in front of his face. He pushed it away, and MT. May pushed it back. According to MT. May, his leg was slightly wrerched. When the depot was reached MT. May caught Mir. Affleck by the coat collar, and MT. AfTieck. it is alleged, resented this by striking Mir. May on the shoulder.
 Patrolman Kelly was requested to ar rest MT. Afheck. and the latter retail ated by asking for MT. Mays arrest. All three got in a carriage and were driven to court. Mr. Afleck told of awakening and finding MT. Mays leg in front of his face.
 Nothing could have been more dis agreeable, I am sure" said the magis- trate.
 "I found it so. and therefore I threw it aside" replied Mir. Afileck.
 Tt was simply an accident said MT. May. "I had no idea I was doing that"
 But you did it," retorted Magistrate Pool.
 Magistrate Pool said that he would not entertain Mr. Mays complaint, but would MT. Afiecks. The latter thought that the matter had gone far enough and both men were discharged.

ington giving notice of a wholesale withdrawal of land from public sale by the secretary of the interior. By this action not single foot of the land
 may be purchased and the suspension of sale may be removed.
 The land thus reserved to the gov ernment fer it's own use makes total of 2,000, 900 acres, including that which has already been sold and the title to which will not be affected by the new order. Two cities are included in the district. Real estate transactions in Carson City and Virginia City must remain at a standstill until further mo- tice.
 The object of the government in withdrawing this vast area from pub lie sale is to give an opportunity for the United States geodetic survey to. mark off lands suitable for purposes of irrigation and to locate reservoir sites.
 The government proposes to select 120.GG0 acres out of the prescribed ter- ritory and to expend $500, 900 in build ing dams and reservoirs.
 At the state land office the reclaimed lands have been marked off, and it makes western Nevada look as if 1t had been plotted from the map. The district embraces the Carson river and a portion of the Truckee river system. IL starts near the California state line. near Verdi, and extends east to Hum- boldt, Carson lake and Carson sink.
 It comprises nearly all of Churchill county, a portion of Humboldt and considerable of Washoe. Douglass, Lyon, Ormsby and Storey counties. The land will be held in reserve until the survey is completed and the secretary of the interior decides what portion he desires for the national irrigation pro- ject.

Washington, August 1.-The growth in the importation of manufacturers materials and the increasing share which such materials form in the total imports is the most remarkable feature of the foreign commerce of the United States in the fiscal year just ended. Manufacturers materials form. in 1922. nearly one-half of the total impOrta- tions and show a remarkable increase over preceding years, while other class es of imports show but a very slight increase. A table. showing the inn portations by great classes in each yeaT from 1880 to 1902, is printed in the an nual report of the chief of the treasury bureau of statistics and affords an op- portunity to study the growth in inn ports of manufacturers materials and the growing share which they form in the total imports.
 The bureau of statistics distributes the imports into five great groups, namely CD articles of food and animals: '(2) articles in a crude condition which enter into the various processes or domestic industry; (0 articles wholly or partially manufactured for use as
 
 chanic arts: (4) articles manufactured ready for consumption. and (5) articles of voluntary use, luXuries. etc.
 Combining the two classes of articles for use in manufacturing, those "in 2 crude condition" and those wholly or partially manufactured for use as ma terials in the manufactures and me chanic arts" is is found that the total value of importations for use in manu featuring. which amounted in 1881 to $217,571,551 were, in 1902 $41S.776,6S1 or practically double those of 1881. They formed, in 1881, 33.44 per cent of the total imports and. in 1902, 6.36 per cen' of the total imports. This phenomenal growth becomes even more striking when it is compared with the growth in importation of all other articles than those for use in manufacturing. The table in the report of the chief o1 the bureau of statistics which sets for tn the imports by years of the great groups above referred to, shows that he total value of imports other than manufacturers materials" amounted,
