Dance All Night Around Their
Fires-United States Troops
Hasten to the Scene.

Pennington, N. NJ, Nov. 2O.-The
four hundred renegade Navajo In
dians encamped on Beautiful Noun
tain, 20 miles southwest of the Ship
rock Agency, sang war songs and
danced around council fires all night
while sentries stood watch at the
many signal fires which fringed the
northeastern side of the Mesa.
Extra precautions were taken at
the agency against the surprise of a
night attack by followers of Chief
Besho She, who have been wrought
almost to a state of frenzy by their
medicine men. w. T. Shelton, In
dian agent, and his Indian police,
who are still faithful, today began
preparations to renew overtures TO
the aboriginies.
Traders and settlers on the reser-
walton have become frightened and
have appealed 10 Agent Shelton for
protection.
The other Indians OF the reserva-
tion, more than 5000, have given no
intimation as to where their sympa-
thies lie. 1t is upon the coming of
troops and Gen. Hugh l.. Scott that
the agency officials and the settlers
base their hopes that bloodshed may
be averted.
There are many at the settlement.
however, who express anxiety over
the reception which the Indians will
give the troops. Some fear that the
renegades may offer armed resis-
tance to the troops.

TAFT
RAPS WILSON POLICY
In Speaking Before Brooklyn In
stitute of Arts and Science.
THE PHILIPPINES PROBLEM

Liberty, Says the Former
Executive.

New York, Nov. 2O.-Speaking on
the subject Holding the Philin-
pines" before the Brooklyn Institute
OF Arts and Science last night. ex-
President William II. Taft attacked
the policy of the Wilson administra-
ton as demonstrated in the acts of
governor General Francis Burton
HARRISON, since he took over the
relnS OF government of the islands
Mr.. Taft spoke at length on the
history Of the American occupation
with which he had been connected as
governor general, secretary Of war,
ana as President, almost continuous
ly from 1900 to March, 1913. He
SAID that in his belief the great mass
OF the FilipinOs, the uneducated ma
jority, which must be protected. was
not ready for self-government and
would not be ready for another gem
Grafton in all probability
Mr.. Taft took exception to the
policies of President Wilson in grant
ing more powers in the government
ana leglSIation to the Filipino poll
ticians"
"Are we to let these islands go and
turn them over to an oligarchy of
eloquent and attractive orators who
really believe in aristrocracy and who
nave no real conception OF civil and
individual liberty and certainly no
capability by training and education
Tor successful popular government?
Mr.. Taft asked. Continuing. he de-
clared that "the minute the strong
background of powerful govern
ment is withdrawn the difficulties
between the Moros, who are mutinous
and have no sympathy with the Fill
plnos and have racial hatred for
them, Will at once develop"
The present declaration of the

ultimate independence, has been ac-
cepted by the politicians of the

Tor generation and probably not for
more than that time. The present
administration clearly fixes no time
put their attitude heretofore has been
Such that the mere declaration of
their intention to furnish ultimate
independence is accepted by the
tlllpino people as a promise Of early
independence. Under these condi-
uons, when the Filipino people find
that they are no nearer independence
under Democratic administration
than they were under Republican ad-
ministration they will think them
selves deceived and this may lead to
some agitation and some disturbance
which will have to be put down with
strong hand.
IF the American civil service in
the islands breaks down, disaster
certainly will follow"

RUSSIA PRESENTS
EXTREME DEMANDS
Calls For Independence of Outer
MOngOlia-Submissi of Sub
stitute Stirs the Chinese.

Peking, china. July l6.-Rps.ia
yesterday suddenly presented to the
Chinese goys:nment new demands re
quiring recognition of the full au-
tonomy of Outer Mongolia declaring
China to be suzerain only, binding
China to accept Russian intermedia-
tion and recognizing all the rights
conceded to Russia by the agreement
and protocol signed at Uga, the cap
ital of Mongolia, on November 8,
1912.
These four new demands are sub
mited by Russia in substitution for
the recently proposed agreement
which has not yet been signed and
which Russia announced she has de-
cided to annul
Both houses of the Chinese parlia-
ment have been hastely summoned to
consider the demands. Strong opposi-
tion to them is voiced by both
Chinese and foreigners and great ex-
citement prevails at the unexpected
turn of events.
The agreement signed at Uga in
November was as follows: "By an
agreement signed on November 3.
Russia undertakes TO aid Mongolia
and to maintain the autonomous gov
ernment which she has established.
She will support her right to main
tain national army and include
both the presence OF Chinese troops
and the colonization of her territory
by the Chinese"
The recently proposed agreement
declared that Russia acknowledged
Outer Mongolia as Chinese territory,
while China agreed that Mongolia
was 10 have autonomy. The Peking
government agreed not to send sol
diers into Outer Mongolia, which was
to have its own army and police.
Russia agreed not to send soldiers
into Mongolia except as consular
guards in accordance with the terms
OF previous treaties. She further
agreed not to send colonies into
Mongolia, but retained the extensive
commercial privileges accorded in
treaties with the head lama OF
Mongolia.

TRAGEDY UNEXPLAINED.
Second Investigation of the Jacobs
Tragedy Ends.

Peak Speacial to Columbia State,
july l7.-With the dismissal of the
IA members of the coroner's Jury
subject to the call the second hear
ing OF the inquest to ascertain what
circumstances or hand caused the
death of John ID. Jacobs and his fam
iiy ended yesterday without estab
nshing cause. The verdict of the
second hearing is that of the first.
The verdict says: During the night
or June 27 the said deceased per
sons came to their death at the hands
OF party or parties unknown to this
jury. The jury spent some 20 min
utes in deliberation before returning
the verdict.
This inquiry, occupying two DAYS.
has brought little new testimony in
to the case. The officers OF the law
have been active and some half
dozen men have occupied themselves
almost constantly in an effort to find
some clue on which an investigation
could be conducted but nothing has
been found that will lead to the
placing of charge against any man.

TURKEY GETS BUSY
IN THE BALKANS
VIII Push Ottoman Troops to Adria-
nople-BOld Action Taken
For Sake of Moral.

Constantinople, July 16.-The
government is determined to push
forward Ottoman troops as far as
the stronghold of Adrianople. can
tured by the Bulgarian troops after
a prolonged seige during the recent
Balkan war.
Although official circles in Con-
stantinople are retiCent on the sub
ject, it is understood such a forward
step is the deliberate plan Of the gov
ernment. 1t intends to take this
bold action not only because of the
material advantages to be gained.
but because of the moral influence it
will have on Turkeys internal situa-
tion. 1t is expected by this means
the position of the government will
be strengthened and consolidated and
1t is felt that even If the powers in
sist on bringing pressure to bear to
compel the maintenance of the flu
ture frontier line between Turkey
and Bulgaria from Enos on the
Eagean sea TO Midia on the Black
sea. Turkey will yet be in a position
TO enforce the autonomy of the
province of Thrace
Thus far, however, the powers
have not addressed any communica-
tion to the Turkish government on
the subject of the advance of the
ottoman troops toward the north.
