FEELING IS GROWING THAT MORE TROUBLE WILL RESULT.—T H E TROOPS RAID FOREIGN SETTLE MENT AT SHENANDOAH. Shenandoah, Pa., August o.—The peace l of this troop-nmtccted town remains unbroken. The unsettled feel ing which lias been apparent for the past few days, however, continues. It was a lively day at. brigade roadqwar ters, wnere all the staff were kept busy in connection with the movements of tne troops and in keeping in touch with the situation of the entire coun try. There were many rumors of trouble, but excepting at Girardvllle, where a workman was shot and slightly wounded, nothing of a serious nature occurred anywhere. Brigadier General Gubin was unus ually alert however, and kept soldiers in readiness for Instant use all day long. Many stories of threatened trouble reached him, but ne was able in every instance to run them down without sending out a detaU of men. Officers around headquarters jgel that the tension is increasing anil would not be surprised if some" of tlie (mops wore sent into the surrounding coun try.

Tney were located in hoarding houses in the heart of'tne foreign quarters or the town. The constables feared that trouble would come if they attempted to make the arrest themselves, and upon their suggestion General Gobin sent a pla toon of company l of the i welfth reg iment to protect them. Tue soldiers formed a line around the house and tue two men were carrie/ from the house and placed in wagons. By this time a crowd of foreigners of different nationalities hau gathered around the soldiers and followed them and the prisoners to the office of ’Squire W. H. Shoemaker, where the prisoners were given a hearing. STARTLING DISCLOSURE.
