' riTTSBURG. Aug. 13. Injunctions by the
court have put a stop to marches by the
ctnlclug miners , agatast the New York and
[ Cleveland Gas Coal company for a time at
leant. But In the execution of the injunc
tion the sheriff and his deputies narrowly
escaped precipitating serious trouble. As It
WBH , the flr t blood of the strike was shed.
Henry Stewart , ono of the sheriff's deputies ,
etruck Jacob Molt , a drummer of the Me
[ Donald band , with the edge of a brasa horn
nnd cut a severe gash above his eye. The
eight of the blood wrought up the 1,000 Idlu
tnlncre to such a pitch that a desperate
conflict seemed Imminent. The deputies also
( were excited and noisy. The strikers were
leering and yelling and urging a rush. There
,7-cio enough of the miners to annihilate the
deputies. Captain 'Belllngham ' , Sheriff Lowry ,
iChlcf Deputy James Richards and Superln
i nnletit ( De Armltt were the cool men In the
assemblage. To them and to Captain Bcll-
ingham belongs the credit of avoiding a riot.
When Belllngham saw there wao danger of
Ills men getting beyond his control , he com
manded a halt and addressed himself to the
tank of restraining the more belligerent. So
Well were hla efforts directed that he soun ,
Jiad restored comparative order.
Sheriff Lowry had a difficult task to per
form , but he handled It well nnd by his cool
ness and good nature did much to neutralize
the blttenwss and strife Invited by his
( subordinates. The strikers finally retiree7
and marched back to their camp. There
. were several other brushes with the depu
ties , but no actual collisions.
After the miners returned to camp the offl
core held a conference with their attorney
end ho advised them to quit marching untl
the court had heard the argument next Mon
day on the bill In equity brought by the
Now York nnd Cleveland Gas Coal company ,
us It might Injure their case It they were
brought up for contempt before the court.
NO MORE MARCHING.
President Dolnn then Ifsucd orders tha
' mo marching should bo made cci any of the
mines of the New York and Cleveland Gaa
Coal company until further orders , although
marches may bo made against other places ,
In place ot the marching , mass meetings wll
bo held and speeches made as a means o
keeping miners of the company from going
to work. Two meetings will be hold at
iPliim Creek tomorrow afternoon , at which
addresses will be made by George Harris o
the Central Pennsylvania field , Mrs. Joncts
of Chicago , William Warner and Cameron
( Miller. The miners of the New York and
Cleveland Gns Coal comp&.iy will be urged
< o bo present. The feature ot the scene this
morning was the fact that the women sym
pathisers , for the flrst time In the strike ,
participated In a daylight demonstration , and
like their brethren , had the Injunction read
to them and they were ordered to cease using
the public highways for a parade ground.
There were no signs of trouble tonight.
fTho strikers remained within their camp and
rwhlle the deputies were on guard , they had
little to do. In order to more thoroughly
fortify hla position. Sheriff Lowry swore In
.twenty additional deputies tonight and dis
patched them to Plum Creek.
The sheriff does not think there will be
trouble at any of the mines if the New York
and Cleveland company , and Is fully con
vinced the miners will do the right thing.
lie Is now confident that he can handle the
f'.rllters and If the Injunctions of the Alle
gheny county courts aie made final , they will
obey the order. He has given fltrlct orders.
1 wcver , not to permit any marching and to
enforce the law , even If compelled to arrest
oil the leaders In the movement.
Up to a late hour tonight Sol Schoyor.
counsel for Do Armltt , had not prepared the
petition to court asking that the strikers
chow cause why an attachment should not
l6Buo against them for contempt. The sher
iff did not know when this U to be done ,
but It Is likely no further action will be
taken until after the final hearing on Mon
day. So long as the men simply camp there
with no marching to the mines and Interfer
ing with the men going to and from work ,
they will not bo disturbed.
NIGHT OF ANXIETY.
Last night was ono of anxiety In thn
strikers' camp at Plum Creek and ono ol
elceplrestio.-r among the deputy sheriff ? at
Center. The campers had been warned that
the sheriff would attempt to stop their march. ,
Ing and numerous threats were reported to
the deputies as having been made by the
( trlkors. At 0 o'clock nearly all the deputise
retired , BO that they could have as much :
rest as possible before the strikers appeared
In the morning. They had hardly fdllen
Into a doze before the pickets gave an alarm | {
that the strikers were coming In a bady and
they tumbled out ot bed and were marshaled
about the ccmpany's buildings at Center.
The music of a brass baud was heard anil
after a watt of ten minutes the head of a
column of strikers appeared. They were
racortlng home from the camp Emma Haan
the lame girl , who had been croxvncd b >
them with a wreath of daisies for firing i
revolver In honor ot the marchers. Thi
deputies went to lied again , but they Imi
very little deep , for at 2:30 : a. m , the alarn
was again sounded and the yturned out
knowing that It would bo hours before the ]
would again be permitted to rest , Fron
that time until daylight there were numeroui
clashes between the deputies and strikers am
toveial times a riot was narrowly averted ,
MINERS WERE SULLEN.
At 6 a , m. Sheriff Lowry and Deputy Slier
Iff Richards arrived across the country r'B
Turtle Creek. They drove In the patrollliij '
parties and In doing eo gave them to under
rtand that argument would be of rjp avail
Thte action caused a Jam of men that 1m
peded their progress. There wa one man nbo
did not seem disposed to move on a II-
IIof
, roctcd , and Sheriff Richards read a copy of
the Injunction and delivered U to him. Tin '
man would not give hla name , and fo
want ot a better one Sheriff Lowry dubbci
bis "John Brown. " The men were In i
' eullcn mood and nearly a hundred other
gathered about the sheriff. Ono man let
mantled td know by what right the court t
granted an Injunction against citizens wb
were ualng public roads for a lawful pur
pose. He was Immediately stood up irnd
served with a copy of the Injunction. Tber
was a threatcnlog movement among the me :
nd Sheriff Lowry made a short speech , say
Ing the men were defendants In a Ilit
brought by the New York and Clevelan
Gas Coal company and that the Injunrtlo
would hold good until Monday , when the
would have a hearing bctore Judges Stow
and C'olc , He added : "I command you a
high sheriff ot Allegheny county , to ccat
this marching. You must not inokut me
o want to work. They have us much rlgr :
( be rosda u you , ou > l 1 ( you do nut le- <
elst In obedience to this Injunction I will
arrest you. "
DECLINE TO PASS IN REVIEW.
Deputy sheriffs formed a line across the
road and forced the strikers to move along.
Seeing no way to help themselves the fife
and drum band commenced to play and the
men moved on In the direction of their
camps. By this time nexvs of the sheriff's
arrival and action had reached the division
of the Rtrlkcrs guarding the miners' houses
across the ravine and they hastened to Join
their companies. They met on the hill above
Center and formed on cither side of the road
and Invltul the deputy sheriffs to parn
through. The Invitation was not accepted
nnd the deputies allowed them to stand.
This did nut please them nnd the band
started back. Ono of the strikers , who as
sumed a leadership , bade the others to fall
In the tear. George Kelly ot Clarcmont and
Michael Dukes o ( Carnegie marched ahead ,
carrying Hags , and attempted to break
through the ranks ot the deputies. They ,
did not succeed , however , nnd were compelled -
polled to stand and llstrn to the reading of ,
the Injunction. A few of the more stubborn.
ones offered resistance nnd asserted a right | ,
to go down the road In the direction of tho' ' |
ult mouth , but Sheriff Lowry was firm and ;
told them that ns they had come from their j I
camps they would have to return that way. | !
One of those wus James A. Bruce , colored , ot :
1
California. He said he had paid his tax '
and asked to pass through the line of deputy.
sheriffs. When refused ho Insisted that his |
name should bo added to the list of de
fendants la Do Armltt'fi equity suit and also
demanded a copy , not only of the Injunction ,
but of the allegations upon which It was
Isiucd.
While the negro was being disposed of ,
Richard Barrow of Walker's Mills , with half |
a dozen of his companions , seated them
selves on the side of the road and refused to i
move. They said they could not be made lo
move by all the deputies present nnd a wordy
war ensued. Finally Deputy Sheriff Clark
seized Barrow by the shoulders and a dozsn
strikers ran to his rescue. One striker with
a cooler head than the others shouted to
them not to reolst the officers and after
much pcrsuae'on ' Barrow and his companions
moved off. The strikers then marched to
Camp Isolation without further molestation.
During the morning about forty women
appeared on the railroad leading to Plum
Creek. The parly was headed by the Mrlk-
ere queen , Eir.ma Haas , wearing a wreath
of daisies and carrying a flag. A number
of banners were displayed , bearing striking
Inscriptions , among which were : "We are
out for wcmen's rights ; Slxty-nlno cents or
bust. " "United We Stand , Divided We Fall. "
"It's Bread nnd Butter We Want ! " The
women were accompanied by Jacob Thomp
son , who has been active during the strike.
The deputies lined up again and ordered
the crowd to disperse. Ono girl said tea
a deputy : "Oh , you are not so many. \ \ o
are not afraid of you. " The deputies re
ceived many taunts and Jeers , but the
marching women were finally persuaded to
return to their homes without any serious
trouble occurring.
SAY MEN ARE AFRAID TO WORK.
Superintendent De Armltt of Oak Hill
mine No. 4 will make another determined
effort to operate his mine with a largely In
creased number of diggers. Instead of Im
porting men the miners now Idle through
sympathy with the strikers are to be rounded
up with a view to getting them to work.
Deputies will be placed on guard at tne
homes ot the miners willing to work , but un
willing to run the gauntlet of the strikers.
Benjamin Tarr. the master mechanic at the
mines said today that most of the miners
were afraid to go to work. "They are ac
tually afraid to go to the pit or else they
would go to work , " said he. "Yesterday
morning we found a white cap notice tacked
on the door of one ot the mlner'6 houses ,
warning him of the consequences If he dared
to work until after the strike is settled. I
turned the warning over to Superintendent
Do Armltt. Only this morning several miners
were stopped and threatened nt Ncwtown and
told what was going to happen In case they
went Into the mine. "
The strikers deny that any whltccap no
tice has been posted or men threatened.
Ninctecu Italian miners , residing near tlie
bridge of Newtown , went to work at Oalc
Hill this morning. They promised to work
every day It given protection. Orders were
Issued to the deputy sheriffs to keep a posse-
constantly guarding the miners' bnmes ,
night and day.
As soon as the report ot the trouble at
Plum creek reached the miners' headquar
ters this morning President Dolan left for
Plum Creek. He will bring Mott to this
city and have an information made against
Stewart , the deputy whom It Is alleged
struck Mott with the horn , for assault and
battery. Dolan said ho was still determined
In Ills decision to maintain the camps , but
will counsel the men to keep Oie peace.
This afteinoon William J. Brennan , at
torney for the strikers , said he would on'i-r
suit against W. P. De Armltt for perjury in
connection with the affidavits made In the
application for the Injunction Issued yester
day. Mr. Brennan mid one of the defend
ants named had been dead two years an. .
two others had not been mining for abou
the same period. The names , ho said , hai
evidently been taken out of an old book.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 13. Acting Secre
tary Roosevelt has made public the report of
Commander ' Davis upon the results ot his
Investigation 1 Into the conduct of the Hrook-
lyn ] navy yard In Its construction dcpart-
ment , by Constructor Howies. The com-
madder's , ' report completely vindicates Mr.
Howies' management at every point , and
Acting Secretary Roosevelt has accepted In
full , ' the conclusions reached. The case
will not again be reopened. In his endorsement -
ment upon the report , which Is of general
Interest In many points because of the
policy laid down as to veterans , Mr. Roosevelt
velt says :
The department fully sustains the con-
clusiotiM of Commander Davis ns to the
charges against Mr. Bowles. Insofar as
they relate to alleged political dlscrlmlnn-
lion , or the npixjlntment of outsiders and
the retention of unworthy In preference to
worthy men , tln-pc charges lire not only
disproved , but are shown to rest upon noth
ing more substantial than malicious or
frivolous gossip , or else upon the belief of
the less competent workmen that they and
not their superior ofllcers are the proper
Judges of their elllctcncy. The attention of
Constructor Howies will be especially called
to Hint part of Commander Dnvls report
warning him a to being pomotlmes over
harsh nnd following too Implicitly the rec-
ommemlntlon.H of lending men and tiuarter
men : but It Is evident that the real reason
for the atltncltH upon Mr. Howies Is to be
found , not In the fact that ho has done
badly , lint that he ban done well ,
The standard of work In the Brooklyn
navy ynrd him been very appreciably
raised under Constructor IJowles. He has
absolutely disregarded all political consid
erations In appointing and employing men ;
and the opposition to him evidently arises
mainly from the fac-t that under him for
the first time It has been Impossible to pro
cure the reinstatement or retention of men
guilty of inlscondmt who possess political
Influence. The evil of occasional harshness
In discipline Is trivial compared with the
ovll of allowing men to shirk , or be guilty
of other misconduct , provided they have
political Influence.
NO GROUND FOR COMPLAINT.
There Is no ground whatsoever for com
plaint of the veterans against Mr. Howies.
Hut In the department of yards nnd docks
It does appear that Sir Heed , a veteran , was
discharged , when Mr. Monachal admits that
he was as good as the three non-veterans
who wore retained. Mr. Reed will accord
ingly bo reinstated , not because he has any
legal claim , but because It Is the policy of
the department , where men are equally
good , to retain the veterans In case It IF
necessary to make a dltvharge. The legal
rights of the veterans have not only been
carefully preserved by the Navy depart
ment , but In Its labor regulations It has
gone very far beyond what the law requires
In giving preference to veteran soldiers nnd
sailors , Imvlnp , Indeed , gone to the very
verge of the line which divides Inefficiency
from elllclency In the effort to do nil that
Is possible for the soldiers and sailors of the
late war.
In appointments from the lists the veter
ans are given an absolute preference nnd
when discharged , If they have behaved well
even though less well than the others
they are still given preference. In consequence
quence the department at times has serious
dltflculty In getting lt work done , for
some of the divisions arc so crowded with
veterans , now for the most part elderly
men. that the work Is In constant danger
of deterioration. All that saves the work
from deterioration Is strlt-t obedience on the
part of the head of the division or bureau to
the department's orders that in making dis
charges the men who do Inelllclent work
shall Invariably be discharged llrst. The
sole test Is elllclency of work. To Introduce
uny other tests to make , for Instance , an
allowance on behalf of a veteran for In-
cfllclent work would speedily produce the
most damaging effect upon the department
and would mean the liability of causing
at any time some sreat structural weakness
or defect In the shlp-j of war to which the
nation's honor Is entrusted. Such a course
Is not to be contemplated for a moment nnd
will not bo uwcd by any patriotic man.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 13. The Treasury
authorities are keeping a sharp lookout for
the anarchists now being driven from Franc ? ,
Spain and Italy by concerted action of tlie
great continental powers. No pains will be
spared to prevent the United Stales from
>
being made an asylum for the men. Terence
V. Powderly. the new commissioner of Immi
gration , said In an Interview that he would
adopt every remedy under the law to exclude
1'lanaa , leader ot the Spanish anarchists , who
ban been conducted to Havre by French ofll-
elala and shipped to New York. The Immi
gration authorities will notify their olllccm
at New York and all subports to bo on the
:
lookout for anarchists headed tlilu way. It
Is expected that the United States consul at
Havana will glvo specific Information as to
the chip on whlsh Planas and hta compatriots

Commissioner Powderly of the Immigra
tion bureau has sent the following letter of
Instruction to Immigration officials at Now
York , Hoston. Philadelphia , Ilaltlmore and
Quebsc , relative to the anticipated arrival
in th's country of Spanish anarchists ;
, "Information has reached this bureau to
the effect that rne I'lanas. a leader ot the
Spanish anarchists , has been expelled from
France , being conducted to Havre , from
which port It Is expected he will sail to the
United iStatee. I am also advln'd that Tar-
rlda Marmol , another Spanish anarchist , Is
believed to have gone to England and prob
ably U on route to tula country. A careful
Inspection should be made of arriving pas-
scngcn ? , In order that should any of tula
clu * detected a careful examination can
bo had an to their right of admission Into
the United State * under existing luwe. "
It It ttated at the IHireau of Immigra
tion that there U no law under which per-
( one can bo excluded on the ground that
they are anarchists. Nor .Is atiarchy any ,
where declared to bo ft crlrrie , so that If
Pinnae and Marmol arc denied ndmUslon to
the country the refusal must bo based solely
upon the fact that they collie within the
general Immigration laws fl ( > to pauper ? ,

LONDON , Aug. 13. The news of the
suspected Afghan intrigues Is very seriously
regarded here. The English newspapers pub
lished In India had already discussed the
possibility of the ameer's complicity. It was.
reported some time ago that he had sent
several thousand copies of his book on the
recent war to the native regiments , while
numbers of letters appeared In the Indian
papers glorifying Turkish victories as
"Islam's rising star , " and saying the ameer
was ready to come like the glorious Maliniui :
SabuktJIn of yore to rid India of the
thraldom of the Christian yoke , bidding all
the faithful to be prepared , and asserting
that the riotn at Chltpur were really a pre
liminary trial of Mohammedan strength
carefully organized by the highly educated
real leaders of the community.
Whllo the authority of tbo Afghan ameer
over the frontier tribes Is very weak. It
must be remembered that the Afghan gen
eral , Oholoin Haldalr , commanding at Asmar ,
who was In constant communication with the
mullah who led the attack on Tort Shab-
dakar last Saturday , IB the ameer's chief and
most trusted commander , and taking Into
consideration the symptoms of unrest near
Peshawer slnco the attack on Camp Mata
land , the Indian government will be well
advised If It makes preparations to meet all
eventualities.
When the two reserve brigades have been
concentrated at Rawalpindi the government
forces In the Punjab will be strong enough
to make operations possible In any dlrectlor
throughout the whole'extent of the north
west. General Blood has two full brigades
In Swat. General Elles lias a clmllar force
In the vicinity of Peshawer , Another reserve
brigade Is between Mardan and Vawalaplll
and this Is exclusive of the Tochlo Fleli
forces ,
