Seoul, Aug. AT tea o'clock last
night Japanese troops surrounded the
Korean barracks after an imperial
proclamation had been issued dis
banding the Korean army composed
of several thousand men. The outlets
from the Korean army barracks are
guarded by machine guns. The emper-
or's body guard will not be disbanded.
Washington, Aug. IA dispatch
received at the state department
from Consul General Thomas Sim
mons at Seoul, Korea, says that forty
Koreans were killed or wounded to-
day in a fight precipitated by the dis
armament of the Korean army. The
casualties to the Japanese, the dis
patch adds, were slight.
War Against Europeans.
Tangier, Morocco, Aug. 1.-Dr.
Morle, who arrived here last night
upon a German ship which brought
a number of Jews and other refugees
from Casa Blanca, is the bearer of a
report to the French Charge DAT
faires, showing that the slaughter of
Europeans in Casa Blanca was the
outcome of a holy war preached by
the Arabs for the determination of
the Europeans. On Monday a number
of Arab chiefs entered Casa Blanca
and demanded that the harbor i'm
provements cease. The Pasna of Casa
Blanca pointed out that the work was
done with the sanction of the Sultan,
whereupon the chiefs replied that the
Sultan was no longer taeir ruler, as
he obeyed the Christians. They tnen
began to incite the natives to exter-
inmate the Jews and Europeans One
European was stoned and then hack
ed to pieces. Various residents made
rush for the French and Spanish
consulates for protection, and during
the flight at least eight were killed.
The French consul demanded that
the Pasha provide a guard to recover
the bodies, but when the rescue party
reached the scene it was charged by
a number of Arab horseme1 and put
to flight. In tne mean time the Jews
and Europeans were taken aboard
German ship. 1t is expected that Casa
Blanca will be invaded by 10000 Ar
abs today. The French cruiser Ga1ilee,
which left here last night for that
place, should arrive there today.

Taking in view our present bonded
| Indebtedness with an additional $685.
900 added, the question arises as to
whether we are ready for such an
undertaking, and if we are, caa we
meet the obligation? There are alrea-
dy outstanding the following city
bonds: $1,000 3 per cent fire engine
bonds. $4,000 per cent sewer bonds
and $4,000 s per cent general fund
ed to this there is outstanding
s43. 400 in 6 per cent school bonds,
which makes the total bonded iadebt-
edness of the city and school district
which is covered by the city, $50, 300.
Add to this s125,OOO for the construc-
ton OF municipal water system and
we will then have a total bonded in
debtedness of s2OS, 300.
This may not seem to be much for
a town of Roswell's size and impor-
tance to owe;' but when compared
with the assessed value of all the
property of the town it assumes a
more important station. The assessed
valuation of the city of Roswell is
about one million dollars Our bond
ed Indebtedness, in case the issue of
bonds be carried, will be one-fiftn of
our total assessed value-or in other
words, for every dollars worth of as
sessed property in the city of Ros-
well there will stand against it twen-
ty cents in municipal debt. Of our
five thousand inhabitants every man,
woman and child in Roswell will be
under a $4,000 per capita indebted
ness.
This is matter of vast Importance
1t touches not alone our present finan
cial Obligations, but produces a SER
ious question for the future 1t does
not require a very close observer to
figure out the amount of interest to-
gether with the sinking funds neces-
sary to meet these bonds as they
draw to maturity That will have to be
forthcoming, and as we see ourselves
today staggering under a five per
cent county and city tax assessment
five cents tax on every dollars worth
of assessed value-it is well to ask
what will be the result when we have
increased our debt to one-fifth of our
assessed value. The question remains,
CAN WE SWALLOW THE DOSE?

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 1.-Work on
the ore docks began promptly this
morning with "a men, and more will
be put on as the day advances. There
was no trouble. Loading began at the
Hull-Rust mine at Hibbing today, and
no violence has been reported.
While there has been no violence
so far, the effect of an inf1ammatory
speech by Strike Leader Petriella be-
fore a mass meeting of strikers at
Chisholm last evening is feared He
said the moment was at hand when
the miners should take the law into
their own hands. He advised the men
to arm themselves and be prepared
to strike to kill. He said he did not
care how many of them were killed
for the cause, and urged the men to
fight to the last. Petriella said he had
wired the governor VINO replied that
he would make a personal investiga-
ton. Said he, 81 want you to give
them "a hours, and if at the end of
that time justice is denied US, be rea-
dy to strike at the head of any man
who tries to crush YOU He advised
the men to keep within their halls
and guard them with rifles. The Wes-
tern Federation of Miners, he said
was behind them.
Strike, Riot, and Death III Russia.
Lodz, Russian Poland, Aug. This
city was again the scene of a strike
movement accompanied by violence,
disorder and death. Troops yesterday
encountered the strikers in the cen

were killed or wounded in this fight
alone. Business is at standstill. In
spite of the aggressive stand taken
by the authorities, the disorders re-
commenced today. The strike is SER
ious. 1t appears to be the beginning
of a big labor war and the work
mems unions are prepared for a long
struggle. The immediate cause of yes
terday's outbreak was the course of
the police during the last eight days
in making numerous arrests in the at

measures that the unions nave unit
