A BATTLE WITH
THE NAvAJ0ES
Troops Suppress An UnruIy Indian
Band.
THE CAPTURE OF THEIR LEADER.
The Army Detachment Consisted of
Four Officers, seventy-four Men and
Three Indian Scouts. Under Com
mand Of Capt. II. o. willard-Three
Indians Were Killed.

Washington Especially In a battle
between United States troops and In
dians. which occurred In Southern
Utah several days ago, three persons
were killed and another wounded
ali believed to have been Indians
The news OF the occurrence was con-
yeyed to the Indian Bureau In O tele-
gram from Superintendent Shelton,
of the San Juan agency.
The army command consisted OF
four officers, "a mon and three IN
dian scouts. The telegram 10 the
Indian Bureau, which was dated at
Shin Rock. New Mexico, follows:
"The troops have returned from
Southern Utah. They arrested Byi-
lille and nine other Indians. Three
others were killed and one wounded
while shooting at the Indians. The
Indians are quiet and ] do not an
ticipate further trouble"
This is the first information re-
reived here regarding the encounter.
The officials of the Indian Bureau
assume that the killed and wounded
were Indians.
The Indians taken into custody
are part of band OF Nava-
ioes that have been making trou-
BILE on the Navajo reservation,
in Northwestern New Mexico and
Northeastern Arizona. Fer some
time a number of Indians, under the
leadership of Byllillie have been GRE
ating disturbances because of their
disinclination to observe the regula-
tions of the Indian office and their
efforts to prevent others of the tribe
from doing So So pronounced have
their objections becoT'e and so Of
fensive their actions, that Superin-
tendent Shelton made a request that
a body of soldiers be sent to the
reservation, and accordingly troops
and X, of the Fifth Calvary. under
command of Captain II. o. Willard,
we're dispatched from Fort Wingate,
n. M, to Annette, Utah, on the 22nd
inst. 1t was understood at the time
that they should simply go through
the Indian country on a practice
march, and it was not intended that
their presence should mean any more
than a demonstration to the Indians;
Mr.. Sheltons idea being that the
mere sigh of the soldiers would have
quieting effect upon the turbulent
members of the tribe.
The War Department received a
telegram from Captain Carter j.
Johnson, who was dispatched to the
Ute Indian camp, in South Dakota.
TO conciliate that tribe. who threat
ened outbreaks. The telegram, which
was sent at midnight from Thunder
Butte, South Dakota, says:
Visited Ute tribe. Found them
quietly waiting our arrival. expect
ing me to be able TO adjust their
difficulty. VIII hold council with
head men, and will report results of
meeting. Agent has dismissed vol

Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Renorts.

R. @. Dun G Co.'s Weekly Review
Of Trade says:
Trade reports are irregular, the
events OF the week tending to cause
conservatism In preparations for the
future, but current retail trade h
active throughout the nation, and the
leading industries maintain active
machinery at most plants. An en-
couraging sign Is the absence Of cam
cellations. Transporters are unable
to handle promptly all the freight Of.
fered, and railway earnings in 90.
tober thus far surpass last years By
6.S per cent.
II is most encouraging to note In
dispatches from Pittsburg and other
leading centers of the iron and steel
industry that no cancellations have
been received and that specifications
on old contracts maintain activity at
most mills and furnaces. New busi-
ness is light, as might be expected
Mt such a time, but plants are fairly
well occupied, except tinplate mills,
which have shut down about so per
cent. of their capacity. Many plate
and structural steel mills have con-
tracts covering output up to the end
of the year. The only important de-
cline of the week occurred in light
rails in order to met the competition
of rerolled goods.

New York Runs Cease on the vari-
Gus Trust Companies and Stocks
Show Rising Tendency The Bank
eFs' Pool Dissolved.

New York (Special) Europe
bought stocks in this market Monday
to the amount, II was estimated, OF
$4,000 shares on balance; bought
copper to such an extent that the
price moved up to IA cents pound;
made heavy purchases OF cotton and
the cereals. for export, and arranged
to send over to this city $10,250,000
In addition to the previously an
nounced engagements of $500, zoo
made on Saturday. The total OF
S16,750,000 gold engagements for
two days was much gre ter than
banking houses had anticipated, and
thus constituted an unexpectedly
favorable feature of the days busi-
ness. All OF the s5,000,000 gold
laid down in the open market in
London was engaged for import TO
this city. The National City Bank,
which engaged $5,00O,000 on the
Continent, In London and In South
America on Saturday, secured s2,-
250,000 more, principally, 1t was
said, in gold due soon in London
from Buenos Ayres. Heidelbach,
Ickleheimer & Co. secured in Lon
don $1,50O,OO0 in addition to the
$1,500,000 previously reported. or
the other engagements by far the
greater portion were made In Lon
don, with the remainder in Paris.
These other engagements were as
follows: Lazard Freres, $1,000, 900;
Guaranty Trust Company. $500,0 900;
Kuhn, Loeb s. Co., S1,000,000; Bank
OF Montreal, $1,000,000; Russo
Chinese Bank, $1,00O.000; Hanover
National Bank, $1,000.000.
Despite the heavy engagements OF
gold the foreign exchange market
continued very weak throughout the
day. Quoted ratos showed an ad-
vance of but n cent over Saturday
with demand sterling quoted at
4.S21A and cables at 4.84 With
rates remaining far below the gold
import poirt and apparently affected
very little by the heavy engagements
for import there was everywhere all
expectation in international banking
circles that the import movement
would assume very large proportions.
A fair average of the amounts esti-
mated by various foreign exchange
experts places the total at $4,000
900.

KING COTTON MAY HELP
COUNTRY OUT or TROUBLE
New YORK Must Loosen the Purse
strings.
IMMENSE CARGOEs ARE READY.
Bankers Insist That the East Nast
Let Some Of the Government De-
posits Come South SO as TO Hasten
the Movement of the Crops, That VIII
Bring Many Millions Frem Abroad.


New Orleans Especially That the
South is financially safe and in posi-
tion to benefit greatly the other por-
tions of the United States was the
opinion expressed by New Orleans
bankers and business men. The i'm
sugar and rice are relied on shortly
to bring in gold from abroad.
An Index of the South's prosperity
was the amount of shipping at this
port Tuesday. There were SO sea-
going vessels in the harbor and in
addition scores of river craft, piled
high with sugar, molasses, cotton
and rice. The harbor activity was
all the more significant because 1t
followed on the heels of a months
strike of 10000 levee men. Within
the past "a hours alone 20 seagoing
vessels have arrived.
Partly as a guarantee for the un-
hampered movement of the crop sta-
pies speculative activity involving
any unnecessary risks in other lines
of business was suspended in New
Orleans, both local stock exchanges
closing until Monday. The cotton
exchange continued open.
Reports came in from rural dis
tricts in Mississippi. Alabama. Arkan-
sas and Tennessee that small banks
have followed the lead of the cities
and have taken united action to pro-
tect depositors from loss of money
or confidence.
Following a conference of New Or
leans bankers, Charles Godchaux,
president of the Whitney Central Ma
tional Bank, gave out the following:
New Orleans and the South can
be of great benefit in relieving the
situation throughout the country il
the East will assist by allowing some
of the currency deposited with it by
the government to come this way,
in order to move the cotton and SUI
gar crops.
THE cotton movement is slow.
owing to inability of the banks here
to supply the necessary cash. The
banks are buying foreign exchange
literally, getting New York exchange
in payment thereof; but they will
soon be at standstill, as currency
cannot be brought down to supply
their wants. II some plan can be
found to remedy this, conditions in
New ORLEANS and the immediate
neighborhood will be greatly improv-
ed This will also place New York
banks in possession of foreign ex-
change with which to obtain gold
from abroad.
"The sugar crop, which promised
to be large. is not disappointment.
and the yield OF sugar per ton of
cane is fully up to expectations.
'The decision of the clearing
house here TO issue clearing house
certificates. to restrict the daily with
drawals of cash and to enforce the

LITTLE NAVAL BATTLE
At VLADNOSTOk
Russian Torpedo Boat Under Red
Flag.
FIGHTS THE FLEET AND BATTERY.
The Unequal Combat Ended by the
Bleaching Of the Destroyer Skory,
Which Had Been Seized by Agitators,
but Not Until She Had Done Serious
Damage TO the Other Vessels.

vladivostok (By Cable) AN ex-
citing little naval battle took place
In this harbor between the mutinous
crew of Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyer and their loyal comrades.
The mutineers finally were subducd,
but not before number OF men had
been killed or wounded. The mutt
nous boat is the Skory, and she gave
fight to the gunboat Mandschur, the
destroyors Garsvovz, Smelly and Ser
ditz and the garrison of one of the
harbor forts, manned by the Twelfth
Regiment of Artillery. The Skory
soon was overwhelmed, and she had
to be beached to save her from sink
ing. This was not accomplished
however, before her guns had done
considerable damage and several Of
ficers and men or the other ships had
been killed or wounded
The crew of the Skory were melted
by agitators, some OF whom had man
aged to get on board and take charge
of the destroyer. She steamed out
into the harbor with the red flag fly
ing, and at once opened fire on the
town and forts. A gunboat and three
destroyers went out to engage her.
and with the aid of the forts soon
had the Skory rlddled and helpless.
She then turned and ran through the
surf, and was beached. Those mem
bers of the crew who had not been
killed or wounded by the gunfire
were arrested by soldiers as they
made their way to land. Among the
men killed are Captain Kurosch, COM
mander of the torpedo boat Ravy, and
Lieutenant Stoer, commander of the
Skory. Lieutenant Massilief, COM
manding the Serditz, was wounded.
Several people in Vladivostok were
killed by shells from the Skory. The
town has been declared in a state of
siege.
