NEW ORLEANS , Sept. 12. Shortly before
noon today tlio Hoard of Health officially do-
clarcd six of tlio suspicious cases of fovcr
on St. Claude street to bo yellow fever.
Two hours subsequently the board an-
nouncud another pronounced case of yellow
icvcr at Mlro mill Esplanade streets , also In
the lower part of Iho city , but a mlle or
more away from the Infected square. The
announcement of the first six cases ot yellow
fever was not unexpected , although Itvns
hoped from the delay on the part ot the
experts that those cases were simply ot
bilious m.ilarla. No general alarm has re-
suited hero , although the news rapidly
spread through the city. The authorities do
not believe that the situation Is materially
worse than It was four or five days flgo , and
they are still confident nf their ability , with
modern sanitary appliances , successfully to
quarantine the Intcctcu districts.
The olllclal bulletin nt the board ot ex-
pe'ts declaring the St. Claude street cases
to bo yellow fever was received by Presi
dent Ollphant soon after 1L o'clock. Dr.
Ollpbant Immediately sent for members of
the press tind gave out the report , which
was signed Ly Dr. Lsmmonlcr , Dr. Touatrc.
Ur. Ulckhatn , Dr. 1'ctlt and Dr. Pat ham of
the board of experts and Dr. Dovron , the
attending ; ptiyslclan. The report was as fol-
* We , the undersigned physicians , who ,
fioin time to time have examined the
1/welVu cases ot fever on St. CIuuilo street ,
between Clone ! and Loucsa , llnil six to be
yellow fever , four of whom are convales
cent. Thele ale no other cases.
OTHER CASK.
Of the twelve original catcs , all of which
had their origin from a case that had come
from Ocean Springs , the six other than those
reported today as yellow fovcr , were an
nounced this afternoon to be practically well
and up walking about their homes. Ot the
six pronounced yellow fever four nru con
valescent and two were declared to be
critically 111 , ono of these having suffered a.
j elapse since yesterday.
Among the suspicious cases reported yes
terday was that ot a boy named Uoy , living
at Mlro and Esplanade streets. Dr. Lcm-
nionlcr , Dr. Touatre and Dr. Matas were sent
to make a careful observation of the case.
This afternoon they pronounced It to bo un
questionably yellow fever , and as having
apparently had Its origin In .Scranton , Miss. ,
or In the vicinity of that town. As soon as
the report was received the Hoard ot Health
took charge ot the house , quarantined the
Inmates , placed guards so that no ono might
come within close proximity to this premises ,
and set to work thoroughly to disinfect the
neighborhood. A brother of the patient who
liad left the premises some time before the
official announcement wns given a permit to
return , but orders were Issued that under no
circumstances should he or any member of
the hoisehold bo ugaln permitted to leave
the prcir.lses.
NO OCCASION FOR ALARM.
To a eoriespomlent of the Associated press
1'resldent Ollphant said this afternoon :
"Of course I have made this announcement
of the existence of seven cases of yellow
fever In New Orleans with sincere regret ,
but there was no alternative left me under
my pledge to keep faith with the public
liere and elsewhere. I do not think , how
ever , there Is occasion hero for serious alarm
unless conditions shall grow materially
worn ? . We shall have to awi.lt developments.
"An earlier announcement ot the diagnosis
of the St. Claude street cases iwaa not
possible. The Hoard of Experts , which Is
composed of able , efficient and experienced
physicians , had made repeated visits to these
patients , but they Insisted that they should
bo allowed their own time within which to
make n complete diagnosis. They desired to
bo perfectly sure before pronouncing the
sickness to bo yellow fever. They reached
a conclusion as soon as was practicable End
four days ago they warned the country that
all of the twelve cases were suspicious.
PROBABLY A MILD TYPE.
"Personally , I niu unable to say whether
or not the cases are of a mild or severe
type. The absence of mortality would seem
to lndlc.Ua that they are In the former class.
That there has been no spread would feem
to strengthen that view. I have no reaaon
to doubt , however , that the complete sanita
tion of the neighborhood Instituted by the
board and the rigid quarantine enforced has
gene a long way toward lestrlctlns tlio dis
ease to the St. Claude street square In which
the case originated , and 1 take hope from this
'ret that we shall still be able to confine
jo fever within Its present llml's. Xhe
situation Is certainly no worse now than it
was four CT five days ugo. " "
"With respect to the Mlro and Esplanade
street case , wo are applylng > ; hc simo meth
ods of sanitation and ( inarau'Cii' as In the
St. Claude street cases , and fit the case of
young Gelpl , wherein these mf.uods were ex
tended with excellent results , no new cases
having appeared In either neighborhood ,
" \Ve have now had a total of eight cases
and one death , the origin of all of which maybe
bo traced to the Infected towns on the Mis
sissippi coast. They may all bo classed as
Importations.
"I see no occasion for any panic In New
Orleans. The general health ot the city Is
good , and It la rapidly being put In line sani
tary condition. There Is no present appre
hension ot an epidemic , and I have reason
to hope that wo shall continue to be masters
ot the situation , "
A number of additional suspicious cases
wcro again reported to the Hoard of Health
today , In each Instunco physicians were at
once dispatched to Investigate. Their re
ports havu been uniformly that the suspi
cions were groundless. The force of phy
sicians attached .to the Hoard of Health has
been largely Increased , and the board la In
communication with every section of the
city.
PURIFYING THU CITY.
Acting Mayor Hrlttln and the member * of
the conference committee met the Hoard of
Health today und discussed the question ot
sanitation. It was reported that arrange
ments had been made with the waterwaiks
company and with largo plants on the river
front to furnish an ample supply of water ,
Many of the gutter * were being Hushed to
day and It was mid that practically every
one In the city would have running water
1n It tomorrow. A heavy rain storm visited
New Orleans this morning and asiUleJ In
cleaning the streets. Commissioner of Pub-
He Works McOary said that bo would add
materially to his force tomorrow and tint
in a few days the city would be In a cleaner
condition than It has been for years. As-
sura net' a were given that the money re
quired would be forthcoming to do all the
work contemplated ,
President Ollphant , soon after he got the
report of the experts today , wired Guveruof
Foster , who had requested to Iw kept Cull/
Informed as to the situation and -who Is co
operating with the b ird. Dr. Ollphant alto'
notified the railroad companies and othe s
who hud a special Interest In the situation.
The news was generally ipread through
Louisiana and the southern states and It Is
nrobablo that moat of the towns that have
not quarantined New Orleans will now re
fuse to have any communication with the
city. Thefiltuatlon In this respect , however ,
will not be aggravated , forthe Crescent City
has already been bottled up for several days.
Dr. Ollphont rays this afternoon that dis
patches were being prepared to bo sent to
the various Hoards of Health of the country
officially acquainting them with the situa
tion.
MAY HUIIT BUSINESS.
Acting Mayor Hrlttln ha& been on duty
throughout 'he day. He fwrs some business
Inimy of a .tempora-y nature will result
from the announcement ot the existence ot
the tcvcn cases , but ho docs nt think that
the harm will be permanent or that anything - |
thing has happened to Justify an cxodua
from the city.
"I have been through several epidemics
anJ have therefore had some experience , "
said Mr. Hrlttln. "Speaking advlsidlv , I do |
not see any rca'on why our people ought to
become frightened or why they should care
to leave town. The mere announcement of I
the presence of several cases of yellow fever ,
here simply confirms an Impression that has
been existent since It was officially reported
there wcro twelve suspicious cases. Six of
these cases have about recovered. 1'our others !
are on the high road to recovery. Of thc |
ethers two are quite 111 , but there Is no Im-
me ilk to reason to believe either will die.
AVe have successfully quarantined these ,
cases , and until the sickness gets beyond
, control , which Is not the case- now , we ,
might , just as well stay here and light It ,
'out. ' " I
j Dr. Lehman , who has been at Ocean j
, Springs for several days and Is a yellow
j i fever expert , has returned. Dr. Lehman ;
partlolrated with the medical experts on the
: , coast In the diagnosis ot several cares of
i fever there. He says : "I went over to !
Ocean Springs to attend the poor who might' '
i bo suffering with yellow fever. After a
I most diligent starch tor any who might be
sulTe'lng with the disease , answering a uum-
i bcr of calls , Investigating the condition of
1 the convalescents and seeing a few case by
{ courtesy ot the attending physician , I con
cluded that as no yellow fever existed , my
duties wcro over. "
The Board of Health's official bulletin to
night siys : "The board of experts has to
day declared six of the twelve cases previ
ously reported as suspicious to bo yellow
fever ; also that four of these six cases are
now convalescing. The remaining : six cases
presented fovcr of a typo SD mild as to have
all recovered. A new case , the Infectious
origin ot which Is traceable to Scranton ,
Miss. , end diagnosed as yellow fever , ex
ists on Esplanade street , corner of Jllro.
Strict quarantine Is maintained In connec
tion with all of these cases. "

WASHINGTON , Sept. 12. The olllelals of
the marine hospital service In the fever-
stricken district have kept In telegraphic
communication with Surgeon General Wy-
mau today and Informed him of the work
they were doing and their movements. The
news from New Orleans announcing the tact
that S2vcn ot the heretofore suspicious cases
were yellow fever was a disappointment and
a surprlso , as It was hoped that the disease
had been arrested In Its progress , Dr. Wy-
man received word of the development of the
seven cases late tonight from President Oll
phant of the State Uoard of Health.
Late last night Dr. Wyrnan received a
dispatch from Surgeon Murray at Ocean
Springs , Miss. , announcing that the deten
tion camp at Fontnlnoblcau was surveyed
and the cars containing the outfit unloaded.
The plan of the camp has been approved
by Dr. Gul'eras , the yellow fever expert.
Dr. Galncs had been sent to Darkloy with
medicines. Surgeon Murray says that he
has not received any report from the local
phystrlans , but that ho has heard ot five
now cases , one male and four females. Sur
geon Wasdln , who was visiting Blloxl , re
ported the situation there much Improved.
Dr. Hhett Geode , the president of the
Mobile , Ala. , State Board of Health , In a dis
patch to Dr. Wyman says there areno
cases of fever there that are regarded as
the least suspicious. The weekly report of
the Mobile Hoard of Health shows twenty
deaths from , all ciuscs two from fever ( the
character of the fever Is not stated ) . The
city Is more than normally healthy for the
season. Today Surgeon Porter telegraphed
from Mobile that there were no cases of
yellow fever there , nor were there any that
wcro suspicious.
Surgeon Glennan reports his arrival yes
terday at Grand Hay , Ala. , where heIs to
Inspect passengers and baggage at the state
detention camp , three miles west of that
place. Grand Hay IB near where the Louis

JAOKSON , Miss , , Sept. 12. Excitement
over yellow fever has again been renewed
here. This morning numerous cases of
dengue 'were reported about Edwards. It
will bo remembered that It was previously
reported that yellow fever existed at Ed
wards and that lien. S. S. Chapman had
died of the scourge , after having visited a
family just returned from Ocean Springs.
This report was afterward denied by the
Edwards authorities.
An order was promulgated today that all
trains from the Infected district be forced
to t ass through the city without stopping
and that the quarantine bo enforced with all
possible strictness , Dr. Purnell , a yellow
fever expert , has left Vlcksburg for Edwards
to Investigate the cases of fever there and
will then go to Relahatchle , twenty-five mile. ?

SEATTLE , Wash. , Sept. 12. The Seattle
and George B , Starr arrived today from Skag
way bay. The Seattle left there last Tuesday at.
1 a. m. Both steamers b'ought tack men
who could not stand the trail of White pass.
They gave up and have come louth to win
ter , cr will return home.
Two of the schooner Moonlight passengers
were on the Starr. They heard of the 1m-
oajsablc condition of the Skagway troll nnd
concluded there was no show for them. Cap
tain Slruvo of this city spent thirty days
trying to get over Iho summit and failed.
He went from hero with one of the best
equipped pa'ties that has gene north. In
cluding Mat and Jack Scurry , J. J. Madlgan
and John Mather. They had ten horses and
about half a ton ot provisions per man. Af
ter thirty days' hard work and the expendi
ture of a large amount of money they suc
ceeded In gcttltng their outfit to the ford of
the river Just below the summit. Then they
gave It up and sold their outfits.
Captain Struvo said today : "It's a crime
to tempt men to try to go over the Skagway
trail. There Is no trail there. It cannot
be described. You cannot paint It black
enough. I stored my provisions and villl try
again next Febru.vy. "
The Bond par'.y will get through all right ,
but It will cost them $10,000 to get their
outfits to the Iflke ? . The party Is headed
tv Marshal Bend , the son.of . a wealthy
Seattle man , who Is supplied with ample
funds to get through.
The George L. Starr also brings a story
of the wreck of the Eliza Anderson. Captain
atruvo was told the story at Mary's Island
by the customs officials. They said that a
schooner had touched that port from Kodlak
island , reporting .that the Eliza Anderson
was wrecked In > the vicinity of Kodlak with
all hands lost. Captain Struvo did not learn
the natno of the schooner that brought the
uews. The statement was made by the cue-
: ems officers with apparent confidence In Its
: ruth. The Anderson was last seen by the tng
llolvoko near Kodlak Island. She was headed
that way for fuel and to get out of the way
of the furious gale that was blowing from
the southeast. While the story told Captain
Stnive may not establish the fact of the
Anderson's wreck , It gives rise to grave
tears for her safety.
DESCRIBES THE TRAIL.
The following special correspondence to
the Associated press was received here to
day per steamer City of Seattle :
"SKAGWAY. Alaska , Sept. 7. Not being
able to satisfy myself as to the relative
merits and conditions of the two trails to
the Klondike from the contradictory reports
wrought In , I determined to make a personal
examination of both , and In order to he able
to make an Intelligent report I Induced
Charles King of Tacoma , a railroad con
tractor , to accompany mo to secure accurate
elevations on the respective trails. At Dyea
there Is no town siting or hurly burly boom
as there Is at Skagway. Near the beach
there are a few tents belonging to recent
arrivals who have not got their goods ashore
and a little further about 100 tents occupied
ay Indian families who do packing. There
Is only one store , Healey & Wilson , an old
trading post and two saloons. There was no
evidence ot any blockade there. Everyone
was either packing or getting ready to start
the next morning. The price that day was
3S cents to Lnke Llnderman , a rise of 8
cunts In a week , and Is now 40 cents. Any-
sne able to nar the price can get his entlro
outfit packed up there In the morning and
set down at Lake Llnderman the next mornIng -
Ing , whether It is 10,000 or 5,000 pounds.
"From Dyea for ono and a half miles there
Is a good wagon road to the ferry over the
Chlleoot river , about 100 feet , the current
being very swift and the charge of a quarter
nf a cent per pound for goods and 50 cents
each for passengers Is made , or goods can
bo loaded on canccs and towed and poled
from Dyea for six miles up the river , taking
a full day to tow a loaded boat that dis
tance. Half a mile after crossing a shallow
arm of the river the trull takes to the river
bed. It Is gravel and easily traveling to
Flnnegan's Point , again crossing to higher
ground on the east side. Less than $4,000
would make n good wagon read from Dyea.
to the head of the canyon , but one bridge
would have to be built nt the. canyon where
the first perceptible climb and the first mud
Is encountered.
FAIRLY GOOD.
"Tho trail from Camp Pleasant to Sheep
Camp Is fairly good , and averages about 500
feet elevation , with no sharp pitches. Sheep
Camp Is fifteen miles from Dyea and the
character ot the country suddenly changes
and becomes more rough and rocky. Moun
tain torrents keep up a continual music.
There Is scarcely any soil or timber from
there to the summit. There were not many
people camped on Lake Bennett , only those
who had come over the Skagway trail , about
twenty In number , and only ono complete
outfit had got through on September 1 , that
of Robert Cahel and wife. Detective W , H.
Walsh , who was the first man to break
thiough the trail , only had n part of his out-
nt and It was scattered from there to the
summit. What he had got through had cost
him CO cents a pound. All the rest were In
the same fix , their stuff being scattered all
along the trail. The trail over the summit
Is just 1.000 feet higher than had been
claimed for It and 200 feet higher than the
Chlleoot pass , At the third hill wo found
over 200 people camped where there was
loom for only about twenty and In n district
of a mlle and n half over 1,000 , and as many
horses , mules , burrcs , bulls and oxen.
"Not ono packer In fifty on the iSkagway
trail knows how to pack an animal and half
nf them never had anything to do with a
horse before. Near the third bridge wo mot
Mrs. W. L. Wommack of Seattle , formerly
of Rutto. vMont , She started for the Klondike
last March by the way of Dyea and Chlleoot
trail , got her stuff alt on Lake Dennett alid
then received the word of sickness of her
two children In Seattle. She sold out
her outnt and returned there , arranged
to have them cared for and started again.
On her Uist trip she was accompanied by
another woman , Mrs. Smith , and two babies ,
Mr. Smith had a claim on Bonanza creek nnd
sent for his wlfo and babies , but Mrs. Wom
mack helped her to bury both of them o *
tbo trip before she got to Lake Bennett. No
road over this pass can bo made to compote

LONDON , Sept. 13. Colonel Henry Rivers-
dale Grenfeld , director of the Bunk ot Eng
land and p. former governor , I/is a letter In
the Times 'this ' irernlSg , In the course of
which he says :
"As a blmctalllst and as one of the senior
members of the bank court , I thlnkT have a
right to ask orii what grounds the writer of
the article entitled , 'A Remonstrance , ' In
your Saturday Issue makes Ills assertion that
the bank has decided to hold a lltth ol Its reserve -
servo lu sliver. Had the bank done so , Us
action would have been strictly In accord
ance with the bank act of 1841 and equally In
nccordar-ca with the action , taken in 1SS1 by
the government then' presided over by n
mouometalllst , Mr. Gladstone. What the
hank did In 1SS1 was to assure the treasury
that the bank would always be open to the
purchase of silver on condition of the return
of the mints of other countries to buch rules
ns would Insure certainty , of conversion of
gold Into silver and of silver Into golu.
Itlmetalllsts declare that 'the ' practical re
sult cf a double standard. In France alone
was that the two mclals did exchange
throughout the world at a legal ratio or with
such slight variations as might , In considera
tion of this great subject , bt neglected. There
Is no ground for say Ing/that anyone con
nected with the bank has otllclally gone be
yond that position. Indcefl , I doubt If any
opinion' ' has been rccarilo'd or any determina
tion come to at all. Your correspondent's
whole letter seems founded } on n supposition
of what may or may not have arisen In the
necessary preliminary discussions with re
gard to the watering of the bank's reserve
with sliver on the conditions mentioned In
1881. .
"If I am not mistaken' , . .the very persons
who deprecate this dllutlon have always been
most desirous of a much greater dilution by
the Issue of pound notes cm H more or less
fiduciary basis , I may conclude by saying
that 'the expression 'certain Americans' Is
scarcely n fitting description of the coa.-
mlssloners now ofllclally charged by their
government for their difficult and onerous
task. "
The Times today In Its. financial article ,
which records the universal condemnation
of the alleged proposal of the Bank of Eng
land to maintain a fifth 'of Its reserve In
silver , says : "It was suggested , rather thin
asserted , that oi'.r correspondent had only
one end of the story and that the bank had
Blvtn Its consent subject to conditions , such
as the establishment of bimetallism In
Fiance and the United States and guaranty
from the borne government that the bank
should suffer no loss , "
The Dally News In Its financial article
says : "It would not be worth discussing
whether the Bank of'England had reached
such a decision did not an uneasy feeling
exist that well known blmetalllst members
of the government njay have given the
American delegates some sort of understand
ing on the subject. It Is.not fort a moment
believed that any radical tampering with
the gold reserve Is contemplated. , Any con
cessions In this direction- for the reopen
ing of the Indian mints sro always under
stood .to have been conditional on the estab
lishment of 'International iblmotalllsrn. ' Wo
hope the next meeting otahe proprietors of
the bank will either explain or deny these
mischievous reports. "
The Dally Telegraph nays ; "Tho basis of
the proposals of the American delegates ap
pears to bo the withdrawal of the half
sovereign and the substitution of a one-fifth
reserve In silver. This , may bo plausible
enough from the point of view of the silver-
lies , but It would be a .very questionable
policy unless some substantial permanent
recovery In the value of silver were apparent ,
which Is not the -case. If Germany should
cease melting the Dialers , if-France and the
United States adopted bimetallism and If
India reopened the mints , then It might be
within the province of the hank to meet the
suggestions of the American commissioners
and the sllverltcs. But the Instant the
French government wtrro. to adopt bimetal
lism , the ministry would bo overthrown , The
new gold discoveries and the fact that other
nations are adopting the gold standard prove
abundantly the wisdom of no departure from
the present system In this country. "

Whllo the train was running nt a speed of
twenty miles an hour the forward trucks
ot ono ot the cars near the engine broke ,
wrecking fifteen cars loaded with walnut
! logs and baled hay. With the exception ot
two cars In front and three In the rear , In
cluding the caboose , every car ot the twenty

the train , was a car loaded with heavy ma
chinery and it was In this car that thirteen
men wcro stealing n rMo and from which
seven dead and six seriously wounded were
taken by the trainmen shortly afterward. It
appears that the occupants of the wrecked
car were a party of men and boys living at
Vlniv , I , T. , who were coming to VmiBuren
to Hud employment lu the cotton fields. A
message was sent to Trainmaster . .Walshit
Ihls place and he Immediately ordered out

were crushed and mangled In a horrible
manner. 'Two of the dead were brothers ,
> 'lll and Charles Fame. Will was found on

HAVANA , Sept. 12. It was duo to the
courtesy of Admiral Navarre , the Spanish
naval commander In Cuban waters , that the
correspondent of the Associated press here
has been able to obtain details from Santiago
, le Cuba of the grounding on the Colorado
shoals , off the harbor ot Santiago do Cuba ,
of thu Ward line steamship Niagara , Captain
Crocker , from New York August 2G , via
Nassau on August 30 , for Guantanamo , Clon-
fucgos , etc.
About 5 p. m. on Thursday last the Niagara
wns entering the harbor ot Santiago de Cuba
from Clenfuegos , In ballast The water was
smooth and the weather wns line , but either
owing to her falling to obey her rudder , on
account of the currents , or through the lack
of skill of her pilot , the steamer grounded
on a rocky bottom , The Spanish gunboat
Estrella and the tugboat Colon Immediately
went to her assistance and tried to pull her
off , hut without success. The British
steamer Mameluke , n powerful vessel , made
in unsuccessful attempt to float the Niagara i
yesterday morning , 2GO tons ot coal being re.
moved from the stranded vessel.
The pilot who was in charge of the | i
Niagara has been suspended by the marine
authorities until the exact cause of the dis
aster la known. The chief pilot of Santiago
de Cuba has been sent to the Mameluke anil
another pilot has been sent to the Niagara
with Instructions to do everything possible
to assist the American steamer. In addition ,
the naval commander at Santiago do Cuba
and h'.fi ' assistant have hern assisting In the
work of rescue with the gunboat Kstrella.
The Niagara , according to the latest re
ports received hero. Is not leaking and docs
not Fi'tfin to have sustained any damage.
Her machinery still works well. The Santi
ago passengers of the Niagara have been
landed and the others remain on board.
The captata of the port of Santiago do
Cuba considers the accident to the Niagara
a serious one , but believes that with the
resources at the disposal of Santiago de Cuba
the Niagara can bo Iloatod. On the other
hand , the captains of the Niagara and the
Mameluke have been consulting as to what
Is best to do , and have received the Spanish
captain's advice very coldly. Therefore the
captain of the port thinks It unnecessary to
Interfere any turther , beyond affording the
Niagara any assistance which ho may be
asked for.

PESHAWUR , Punjab , Sept. 12. H Is an
ticipated that the Mohmands will make but
little opposition to the columns of troops
under Generals Elles and Blood , which are
advancing from each end of their country ,
but that they will attempt to fly to Lalpura ,
In Afghanistan. Events must thus force the
ameer's hand. If the Mohmands are taken
In the rear by his forces their punishment
will be heavy and the effect will be spon
taneous.
The unexpected Instructions sent to Gen-
cral Ellcs to delay the advance for political
reasons for forty-eight hours of his column
from Shadkader are thought possibly to be
because the Mohmands have already sub
mitted without fighting.
Thu center of the Insurrectionary activity
is now on the Samana range , whore the
British have a number of posts , nil of which
are liable to be attacked at any moment.
These garrisons hcve been having an anxious
time recently , owing to tlie shortage of sup
plies end the news today that a column of
troops under General Yeatman-Blggs from
Hangu has succeeded In penetrating into the
Samana territory and replenished the sup
plies of the outlying posts without fighting
has caused considerable satisfaction.
A severe attack was made upon Kort
Cnvagnarl on the afternoon of September 3.
The enemy was repulsed. The same evening
Colonel Haughton , with a detachment of
Sikhs , arrived at Cavagnarl from Fort Lock-
hardt. A furious onslaught of the tribesmen
continued until midnight. They seemed dis
inclined to charge home and were repulsed
at every point with heavy losses. Colonel
Haitghton returned to Fort Lockhardt with
the Sikhs 03 the following day and the
enemy renewed the attack the same even
ing. But upon this occasion the tribesmen
were easily repulse * ] .

The place capitulated after an heroic de

IIAZLKTON , I'a. , Sept. 12. The situation
hero tonight Is graver than It has been nt
ft'iy time since the blooily affray of Friday
afternoon. There It strong reason to feae *
a conlllct between the strikers and the mili
tary tomorrow nnd there Is nn Indication
that from C.OOO to 7,00u more minors wlli
Join the maltontcnu.
Keeling continues high against Sheriff
Martin and his deputies , and the Intensity ,
of the situation Is mieh that u sudden turn
of the head or a word spoken above the
ordinary tone brings a running crowd. The
soldiers are watchful and ready for any
emergency , and the people of the town uro
In a state which may easily become a panic.
An Incident of ugly omen occuired during
the funeral of three of the victims this after *
noon. Whllb services wcro being held Inside-
St. Joseph's church about 2,000 foreigners
wcro congregated about the doors. A num
ber of them raised their voices nnd. It la
declaied by eyewitnesses , that a policeman ,
stationed near the door became unduly
olllclous. Instantly on ominous muttering
followed , mingled with scowling looks ami
clenched lists. Word was Immediately car
ried Indoors to Rev. Father Aust. Ho
hurried out to the dour and bundled the
men who seemed most quarrelsome Into the
church. A few words of counsel to tha
others prevented further demonstrations.
TROUBLE IN THR AIR.
Trouble Is In the air and If It Is to como
the time will be tomorrow morning. Tlilu
Is clear from the words Ubcd tonight by Gen
eral Gobln , commander of the Third brigade.
The striking miners have made clabora o
preparations for a demonstration at the
funeral of ten of the victims , which la
fixed for 10:30 : o'clock this inornlns ,
The military authorities are determined that
nothing ot the kind shall bn permitted and.
that from this .time .on ( hero shall bo no
marching ot any character , whatsoever ,
whether during funerals or otherwise. This
resolution Is not generally known nnd the
miners are going on with their arrange
ments. General Gobln talked over the tele
phone to Governor Hastings for an hour or
rnoic this afternoon. He said he had merely
made a formal report to the governor of the
situation. It Is apparent , however , that the.
commander Is not cheered by the ImmedlatQ
outlook , although he says he thinks ( hero
will he no further turbulence. He would not
say when the troops are likely to ba with
drawn and he hua resolved to act with Iho
utmost i Igor. ,
UNGINHER IS HBATBX.
Furthermore , ho made a revelation which
put a startling aspect upon tlio situation.
This was that the house ot the engineer at
No. S colliery had been lirokici into late
last night by six masked men and tlio en
gineer , who la a cripple , unmercifully ;
beaten. There Is no clew to the Identity o
the assailants. The only work the man baa
been doing lately Is the pumping necessary ,
to free the mine from water. The general
had also received a formal report of the
Audcnreld outrage of last Thursday night ,
when strikers broke Into the house ol
Gomcr Jones , superintendent of the Lehlgh
& Wllkcsbarre Coal company. Jones , whoso
unpopularity with thu miners was ono of
tlio first causes of the filrlke , was not there ,
but the men literally wrecked the Interiors
of the house and then attacked a mice power
house nearby and stole a quantity of dyna
mite , As eoon as he heard of this General
Gobln assigned a guard of the Thirteenth ]
regiment to remain In Audcnreld , ,
MORK STRIICKS I'ROIUBLE.
The addition to the strikers' ranks , It
made , will be men at Coxc's mines and
should they go out the last big anthracite *
company In the region will bo Idle. It was
not known until today that thu 2,000 men
employed at Colliery No , 7 had u muutlng at
Stockton last night and drew up a petition ;
to the operators demtin'llng ' an Increase of.
10 per cent. This will bo presented tomor
row and the action In the event of refusal
Is "strike. " It Is accepted an a fact that It
these men go out , all the ethers employed ,
by Dcmpy wilt join them , inoklni ; the total
number something between 5.000 and 7,000
from thctic mines alone. The Coxo man hail
already he en offered an Increase , but re
jected It on the ground that It was still
lotscr than the scale paid by the other op
erators In the region. These men have been
working steadily up to this time and of
late up to 10 o'clock at night.
HAZLBTON UNDKR MARTIAL LAW , '
To all Intents and purposes Hazleton Is
under msrtlal law. General Gobln declared ,
tonight that In spite of the warrants Issued ,
no constables nor any civic authority will
bo permitted to arrest the deputies. Ho said
that the nherlff Is an OM'ttillvn officer , whoso
duty It la to preserve thu peace and that
he , Gobln and the troops are really sub
ordinate to the ktu'rlff at tills lime , being
engaged In helping him to perform that
duty. Under these clrcumntantca he will
not permit Interfcrrocn with the sheriff's
ottlvlals , so long an thu militia Is hero. In
spite of this fine distinction , the command
er's decision oil linn point ' accepted a
superseding the civil authorities by the mili
tary power.
The events of toduyvrre the dpaths of two
otheru of the wounded , Jacob Tojiidsniitos ,
the 18-yoar-olil boy who WHH shot jhruugli
