WAR GAME IN THE WEST.
Invading Army Threatens Capture
of California Cities.

COYOTE, Cal. August 1O.-Two bat
talions of United States regular infantry
dragged weary feet through the town of
Salinas today and, swinging around the
foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains,
headed for San Francisco. They were re-
treating from the preside at Monterey
in the presence of a Red or invading
army of 1900 men, which landed there
today with intent to capture the city.
fertilization and preside of San Fran
CISCO 125 miles to the north.
Helpless in the face of such force,
the Blue or defending commandant at
Monterey wired Brig. Cen Walter Schuy-
Ter at San Francisco that the enemy had
landed and then began a forced retreat
up the valley.
Immediately upon receiving word of the
landing of the Reds under Gen. Robert
Wankowski of the National Guard of
California Gen. Schuyler at San Fran
cisco prepared to throw his forces, about
equal in number to those of the Red, y
into the field and to stop the enemy as
/ far south of the city as possible. 1t will
be his effort to protect also the city OF
San Jose.
In the theory of this, the biggest war
game ever played on the Pacific coast
an attempt to enter San Francisco bay
has been foiled, but the defending fleet
. being the weaker has been bottled uI
by the enemy inside the Golden Gate
. and the enemy's transports have been
landed in Monterey.

SEARCH FOR VAST TREASURE
Frederick Smodden of Canada to
Hunt for $50. 100000 on Island.

NEW YORK August 10.-The legend of
s;o.0o0.o00 gold hidden on the obscure
island named Cocos, in the Pacific ocean
off the west coast of Costa Rica, is the
lure which brought Frederick Smodden
from Calgary. Canada TO this city,
whence he sailed today for Central Amer
la. \ dozen more expeditions have
BET made in search of the same treas
ure, hat Smodden is convinced that he
has the real secret Of it's whereabouts
handed down by Capt. Trevan, a sea dog
Of many generations back whose plan to
search for the gold was frustrated by a
fatal illness.
Smoddea was happy as boy with
2 spade and bucket anticipating a day at
tn- seashore as he sailed. declaring that
II be did not win the high stakes he
sought he would at least have the ex-
perience- The legend credits rich Cen
trail Americans with having buried the
gold on or near the island when the con-
fscation OF their goods by the Spanish
was imminent. Why the owners of such
