RAIDlNG BANDS
CAUSE TROUBLE
Conditions at the IsthmuS,
However, Are Reported
Tranquil

Steaming direct from San Francisco
to the Hawaiian Islands in nearly
mail schedule, the big American-Ha-
wafian freighter Arizonan reached a
berth at the railway wharf this morn
ins to remain here until Monday
evening before proceeding to Port
Allen, Kahului and Hilo.
While conditions are reported as
tranquil at the Isthmus Of Tenuante-
pee and the terminal port of Salina
Cruz and Mexicola, where American
Hawaiian freighters transfer their
vost shipments of merchandise and
quantities of Hawaiian sugar, the
more northern Mexican ports along
the Pacific are still in turmoil.
The trouble has settled down, in
most cases, to that caused by raiding
hands of bandits. Americans are re-
ported as being left alone, and, in
fact, in many cases. the disturbers
have been known 10 keep clear of
places where Americans we're known
to be. 1t is the general opinion that
the trouble from these marauders will
continue indefinitely.
A sample of the greater part of the
trouble is shown, according to &C
counts, in holding up of the town of
Mamei. May II, by a bandit named
Vignas, who had only been released
from Jail short time before. Gather
ing six companions. none armed. the
party made their way to Navel, a
town of 1900 Inhabitants. Accosting
the first men they met they managed
to secure firearms, then proceeded to
collect toll from all they met, even
going into the houses. As soon as the
first shot was fired by the bandits
everybody rushed into houses and hid.
While the bandits were operating
IN one end OF the. town the rurales
cane in at the other end. and run
ming fight commenced, which ended
IN Vignas and his band escaping into
the adjoining state of Jalisco.
The Arizonap brought two thousand
tons general cargo for discharge in
the islands. The vessel is to take
On twelve thousand tons sugar before
steaming from IIilo for Salina Cruz.
The Lurline of the Matson Naviga-
ton line sailed for Kahului late last
night, there TO be discharged OF sew
eral hundred tons cargo and to be SUP
piled with sugar and molasses. The
vessel is expected to return to Homo
lulu by Sunday morning, here to COM
pletc cargo for the mainland, and pre-
pare to sail for San Francisco at 6
O'clock On the evening OF June 10.

LONDON A STRIKE CENTRE
Campaign for Suppression Of
the Non Unionist Under Way.

49, Cable TO The Tribune.
London, Aug. 2J.-The recurrence Of
labor unrest in many forms is evil
denced by the fact that half a dozen
strikes are now in progress i'm London.
Thousands OF men are already ar
fected, and there are threats Of still
further trouble. In almost every case
the demand is for increased wages, al.
though the question Of trade union rec
ignition figures prominently in some
disputes.
The building trade il the one most
affected. AT any moment 10000 labor
ers in the metropolis may adopt
down tools" policy. ana their action
would involve another 1JOUOU skilled
artisans.
Laborers are asking for a code Of
rules, an increase Of wages and the
same treatment as that meted out to
skilled wQrkmen.
The renovation of Buckingham Pal
ace, ii is understood. is in no danger OF
being delayed by the strike, as the men
have no grievance against the con-
tractor who has the work in hand
The masters regard the campaign as
the beginning of an organized move
ment for the suppression of the non
unionist
