Killing Defenceless Workmen.

PANAMA, April 24.—The following are the latest mail advices concerning the Chilian revolution: On the 4th Martin Larraine arrived here. He is the same man who on the 4th inst. saved the work­men who were on a strike in Iquique. At 6 a. m. on the morning of the 3d upwards of 3,000 workmen collected at Pazo Al­monte, in order to proceed to Iquique and make a formal representation re­specting the scarcity of provisions. After they reached the works, the manag­er, William Johnson,gave them ten barrels of biscuits and 1,000 tins of preserves, which were distributed among the strik­ers. They remained there that night and on the following day sent some of their leaders on to Negreiros. There more men were to be collected. Sudden­ly, however, a train appeared, loaded with government troops, under Martin Larraine. Without halting or parleying there, the troops opened fire on the de­fenseless " workmen, women and chil­dren. Shortly afterward, the forces marched forward and killed all the men. Meanwhile, men from the Negreiros works, with commissioners from Ramir­ez, returned to their houses, otherwise they might also have fallen victims. Some who escaped from the slaughter took refuge in the nitrate fields, but were subsequently followed up and killed. After these deeds had been com­mitted, some 8!) men were arrested, and of this number eighteen were murdered. Lenia Diario said on March 13th: "The Chilian government and Chilian rebel authorities have both shot several per­sons. Among the number was Auibal Naranjo, a government officer who was shot when the rebels retired from Ovalle. It is stated that, when the government forces retired from Pozo Almonte, they shot all the prisoners they had and de­stroyed all the nitrate establishments they passed. The number of men who took part in the fight at Pozo Almonte on March 7th is estimated at 4,000 and nearly three-fourths of this number were under orders of government leaders. The contest was a sanguinary one and more than 1,000 killed and wounded was the result. The Balmaceda forces were routed with a loss of all their artillery and a greater number of the infantry. The cavalry, which took no part in the combat, joined with a few infantry soldiers, who fled to­ward the wesi, and with the head of the Barbosas column, which arrived at Pampa after the action immediately re­tired toward Camina. The revolution­ary army committed a number of atroci­ties which the commanders and officers could not prevent. At Pozo, Almonte, the centre of the Nitrate district, where there were about 1,000 inhabitants, and of whom many perished, including women, when the dispersed troops were followed up, and when the victors com­menced to plunder drinking shops and provision stores.

i.xeitoniont Iucleaning.

SCOTTDAI.F., Pa., April 24.—There was more excitement at or near by the coke works to-day, as a result of the many evictions, than there has been for many months. Deputy Crawford with a large body of assistants, and guarded by Com­pany C, began throwing out a dozen fam­ilies at White's, this morning, including the one in the notorious "souphonse." This was done without any decided op­position, except an occasional collision with irate femaleB. The evicting party then marched to Morgan's, attended by several hundred strikers. At the very outskirts a Hungarian struck one of the guards with a stone. This was followed by a shower of etones from a ciowd of children, but no one was badly hurt by the volley. The house occupied by Mc-Enery, a local leader, was soon reached, and Company C formed a circle about it, keeping back the crowd that now had grown to enormous proportions. Mrs. McEnery was in delicate health, but when Deputy Dickson grabbed a chair she flew at him, when he lost his head, drew two bulldog re volvers, and, after calling her a vile name, threatened to shoot. Cries of '"Shame" and "Coward" from the guards and strikers alike overawed the fellow and he slunk away. The wom­an amused herself by thumping Dep­uty Skiles on the ribs with a jug, then sat down amidst her household goods in the road and wept contentedly. Then the deputies went to Summit, where six­teen families were unhoused without much trouble. Company C arrived here this evening and went in to quarters at the armory. They are a tired set, but all are in good spirits. Sheriff McCormick says their services will not likely be needed again until Monday, as no more evictions will take place until then. Ad-jutaut-General McClelland believes the strike will soon end. Twenty-nine men and women from Trotter had a hearing before Squire Dawson here to-day and twenty-four of them bound over in $900 bail each, for their appearance at the Jnne term of court. They were charged with rioting.

More Bloodshed.

UNIONTOWN, Pa., April 23.—This was one of the most troublesome and excit­ing days since the great coke strike was inaugurated- A serious riot occurred at Monarch this morning and another was reported this afternoon, in which it was said five men and two women had been killed. Fortunately, however, this report of the second riot was without

foundation. Though the riot of to-day resulted in probably the fatal wounding of one man, and serious injury of a woman, the sheriff of Fayette county, with his deputies has been defied and the sheriff himself assaulted, shot in the hand, and beaten, and cut with an axe, in the hands of infuriated Hungarian woman. Since the ugly Morewood affair, women have taken a principal part in defying deputies. This morning Sheriff McCormick and deputies went to Leisenring No. 3 to evict ten families of the striking Slavs and as was their ex­perience at Adelaide yesterday, they had a bloody battle with the infuriated mob of men and women. It was about 11 o'clock when the sheriff and his deputies reached house No. 125, occupied by Thomas Farr. The sheriff at once read the writ of eviction to Farr and by the time he was through with it a crowd of 300 or 400 men and women had collected in front of the premises.

THEN THE TROUBLE COMMENCED. Men and women in broken English yelled defiance and berated the sheriff and his deputies in the strongest lan­guage they could command. The sheriff tried to reason with them, but without avail. Their blood was up and nothing but a first-class battle would satisfy fiem. Andy Blashko's wife, who lived in the other half of the house, and who had given birth to a child only two days before, heariug the tumult, rushed out, aud, spying the sheriff, made a dive for him, pistol in hand. The sheriff saw her coming, and just as she was about to fire at his breast ho struck the pistol a down­ward blow with his left hand aud at the same time fired the revolver he had in his right hand at her. The two pistols went off simultaneously and both took effect. The sheriff had shot the woman in the ileshy part of the left thigh and she had shot him in the left ankle. The ball, however, struck him only a glancing lick and did not do him much injury. The shot in the woman's thigh seemed to infuriate her more, aud she made a sec­ond dash at the sheriff, who 6hoved her back. She fell to the ground and was carried into the house in a half conscious condition by friends. Audy Blashko, seeing his wife was being roughly han­dled, made a dash at the sheriff with a club, but the nervy little officer was too qnick for him, aud, taking deliberate aim, shot Blashko in the left ankle, the bullet making an ugly hole in the flesh and slivering the bone. By this time

THE SHERIFF'S! BLOOD WAS UP, and with cocked revolver in either hand stood with his back against the end of a house and informed the mob that the first one who made a move towards him he would shoot, and shoot to kill. For a moment the crowd held back, then Martin Scroupka, who lives at Leisen­ring No. 1, left the crowd and rushed at the sheriff with a huge club uplifted. The sheriff waited until Scroupka got within five feet of him anil then fired. The shot took effect, the bullet striking Scroupka in the mouth, knocking out two of his teeth aud lodging somewhere in the back part of his month. The wounded Slav wheeled and started to run along the end of the house and the sheriff followed him firing as rapidly as he could. But none of the shots hit the Slav. Some one shouted to the sheriff to look out and turning saw Farr, the man on whom he had served the writ, coming toward him with an axe. The sheriff pointed both his revolvers at him and Farr retreated. By this time Captain Frasher of company C, who hearing the shots and uproar had brought soldiers up the road on a double quick and their presence at once quelled the rioter, cnd the sheriff and his deputies I 'ROf. 'EKDKlJ TO THE WORK OF EVICTION

and in a very short time the household efiects of thirteen strikers were piled in front of so many houses. The sheriff and his deputies, accompanied by the militia, then went to the Trotter works, located about one mile west of New Ha­ven, and evicted twelve families, all of whom are English speaking, which task was accomplished with little trouble. Sheriff McCormick arrived here this evening with Thos. Farr, whom he ar­rested this morniag on a charge of resist­ing an officer. Farr is now in jail. The sheriff is pretty lame from the effects of the wound he received in the ankle this morning,and except that he is terribly sore from the effects of the bruises inflicted upon him by the infuriated mob he has been in for the past day, is feeling first rate. He says that Martin Scroupka, whom he shot in the mouth this morn­ing, is badly hurt, but is still living at last accounts. Andy Blashko and wife are both in bed, the latter suffering from the nervous shock she received more than from her wound. He also says that twenty families will be evicted at the Morgan works to-morrow, and twelve at Bradford. He expects trouble, but says he is getting used to it. Every­thing is quiet at Leisenring No. 2. Sev­eral new men went to work in the mines there to-day.

A man Cuts his Feel oft' with a Butcher

Knife to Save Ills Life

WINNIPEG, April 25.—Joseph Contour, while hunting in Labroquire near the boundary of Minnesota a few days ago, ran across a little shanty, in front of which was a human foot. Entering Le found a mnn named McKinnon lying on a bundle of rags almost famished and nearly insane by his sufferings. Some weeks ago both his feet became frozen and mortification began in one foot. In desperation he cut it off with a butcher knife and threw it outside. This crip pled him completely and he lay in his hut dying of starvation, thirst and pain until the chance appearance of the hunter. Giving the wounded man something to eat, Con­tour set out at once to obtain assistance. He secured a team and two men and re­turned to the hut only to find that in the intervening period the wounded man had hacked off his other foot, mortification having also attacked it. McKinnon was placed on the wagon and a start made for Winnipeg, but the condition of the suf­ferer precluded rapid traveling and not until to-day was the wounded man placed in the hospital. He is in a fright­ful condition and hiB recovery is doubt­ful-

FRISCO'S RECEPTION.

The Pacific Coast Metropolis Does

Herself Proud in Honor of

the President.

As the Party Steamed Slowly up lo

the City, a Grand Sisrht Was Witnessed.

Grand Marine Salute, Fireworks Dis­

play, Illuminations and En­

thusiastic Ptople.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 25.—President Harrison was welcomed to-night by a great display of enthusiasm. The presi­dential train arrived at Oakland about 7 o'clock and the pa ty were met by a com­mittee of citizens, Gen. Ruger and staff, of the regular army, aud Gen. Dimond and staff, of the state troops, and escorted to the large ferry steamer, Piedmont. The president occupied a position on the upper deck, where he obtained a full view of the magnificent display made in his honor. The Piedmont did not cross to San Francisco at once, but steamed around the bay slowly, to enable the president to witness the brilliant illumin­ations on the bay and on the hills in the city. As the steamer left the wharf at Oakland, a signal rocket was sent up from the bow, and instantly bonfires blazed from a dozen elevated points in San Francisco. Long lines of streets, brilliant with electric lights and red fires, were also plainly visible from the deck of the steamer. The marine display was one of the most striking features of the occasion. The Piedmont passed between two larire lines of vessels from Oakland to San Francisco, including the United States cruiser Charleston, several revenue cut'ers and coast survey steamers and a number of ocean-goiutr steamers of the Australia, China and other lines. All of these vessels, as well as every craft lying at the docks on both sides of the bay, were brilliantly illuminated by red fire and electric lights which displayed their decorations of Hags and bunting. Salutes were fired from the shore and from a number of merchant vessels, as the president approached San Francisco. The night was clear, aud the whole scene, as witnessed by the president and his party from the upper deck of the steamer was beautiful. The president arrived at the foot of Market street at 8 o'clock. The crowd which had collected there was as great as any ever seen in that locality, and as the party left the steamer, great cheering was commenced by the several thousand people in wait­ing and was continued for several min­utes. Upon landing, the president was welcomed by Mayor Sanderson and par­ty and at once entered carriages and pre­pared for the march out Market street to the Mechanics' pavillion. Illuminations along the water front near the ferry land­ing, and, in fact, all along the "line of march, were the most brilliant ever seen in this • city. Th« fireworks were displayed continuoslv everywhere. The president and party were escortod to the pavilion by a detail of mounted police aud three companies of the second brigade of the California national guards. There was a dense crowd of peo­ple on Market street all the way from Ferry landing to Jthe pavilion and the president was greeted with great cheer­ing as the procession passed along. The street at many points ware as light as day aud the president was able to see the enthusiastic crowds who wel­comed him to the city and followed in the rear of the procession. The ladies of the processic n as far as the pavilion aud then went to Palace hotel. The crowd in waiting outside the pavilion was as closely packed as along the line of march and the enthusiastic wel­come was renewed as the president alighted from the carriage to enter the building.

A Quiet Day in the Coke Region,

SCOTTDALE, Pa., April 25.—This has been the only day of comparative quiet the coke region has had for over a week, and were it not for the presence of the militia, one would scarcely realize that a great struggle between labor and capital was going on. One suspicious circumstance is, however, alarming the people, and that is the persistency with which squads of Hungarians go through daily drills. There were no evictions to­day, but Monday the circus will begin. Seven hundred notices expire next week and deputies forces have|been redoubled in order to cope with the riots which ace certain to follow, with probably another disastrous result. Ex-Sheriff Guffy, of Westmoreland county, has been sug­gesting arbitration as a means of settle­ment. The strikers are willing and may petition the governor to move for peace in that manner.

Count Von Moltke Dead.

BERLIN, April 24.—Von Moltke, field marshal of Germany, is dead. Connt Von Moltke attended the session of the Reichstag held this afternoon. His death was very sudden, and the physicians who were summoned announced that it was caused by the failure of the heart. He died at 9:45 p. m., passing away quietly and painlessly. The news of the count's unexpected death has caused great sor­row in this city.

A Short Fight.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 24.—Charles Kem-mio of this city and James Scully of Woonsocket, R. I., fought at the rooms of the Twin City Athletic club for a purse of $1,000, $200 to the loser and the 140-pound championship of America. The men were to weigh in at the ring­side at 140, give or take two pounds. Kemmic weighed 141% and Scully 142. Henry Seley ofliciated as referee. Scul­ly was easily knocked out in the third round.
