Em“ A RIOT ll SADVIL'LE. Striking Diners Atta0k the Fortified Coronado Shaft. ’ SEVERAL DEAD AND DYING. Firemen Met With-a Shower of Bullets. The Awful Work of Dy-‘nite. ! Troops Ordered to the $001. by l the ’Governor of the State. LEADVILLE, 0010., Sept. 22. —The bloody 1111 e of the great miners’ strike has come. Tfiree men are known to be. dead and tWo others dying, the Coronado shafthouse and machinery are in ashes and four in- nocent householders are homeless’as the result of an attack by parties as yet un- known upon the Coronado and Emmet mines in the dark hours of the early morn- ing. The first attack was made upon the Coronado, which is in the city, being only half a dazen blocks from the pcstofi‘ice and surrounded by residences. The Coronado shafthouse was built on a large embank- ment inclosed by logs, and the machinery is 50 feet above the street level. A heavy plank barricade was erected around the machinery and shafthouse when the mine resumed operations last month, and the house was well stocked with provisions, winchesters and ammunition. Beyond as- saults on workingmen seen coming from the mine at divers times no overt acts of violence had been attempted against this mine until at 1 o’clock this morning, when a few bullets struck the barricade, and the men on guard prepared for action. It was a night attack upon the property. Judging from the sounds of the fighting, it came from the east. There was no confusion, no crowds on the street. The first intima- tion which those down town received of the trouble was a number of shots. The shots came scattered at first, then faster and faster. Dynamite Used. All streets west of the Gorenado were deserted with the exception of three or four persons attracted by the shooting. Sud- denly after 25 minutes of firing a sheet of flame burst out, followed by a terrible de- tonation. The attacking party was using dynamite. The firing then seemed to slack ‘ up slightly. Occasionally a bullet went through the air, and then a sheet of flame from Eighth or Ninth street. It was evi- dent that an attempt was being made to fire the property. East of the engine house are several tanks of fuel oil, and the attack was concentrated on this point. There were a sheet of flame and a sputtering as though of blazing powder. The engine room was in flames. A few moments later and the clang of the fire engines was heard coming up the street. " But it was not for them to save the Coro- nado. It was markedfor destruction, and armed men held the firemen at bay. When the hose cart reached the corner, the hose was being unreeled and ‘ the marshal and his men were getting ready for action when three men appeared from arcu'nd the corner and compelled the firemen, with leveled rifles, to stop work. Meanwhile the flames grew fiercer and fiercer. The men in the shafthcuse were finally driven from their fort,,but fought to the last. As they ran over the high trestle work a dozen shots were fired, but the men-reached the dump in safety and escaped. By this time a large crowd had gather- ed, ready to assist, but they were held at bay by the rioters and firebugs, who were concealed near the building. But present- ly, as the sheets of flame rolled over the 'ledth, it was apparent that unless there was timely action the buildings in the vicinity were doomed. The firemen rallied, for by this time hundreds of citi- zens, armed with rifles, appeared and guarded the fire department and volun- teers. All attention was devoted to saving the houses in the vicinity, but in spite of every effort four dwellings on East Eighth street were destroyed. The Loss of Life. But more terrible even than the flames was the loss of life. Jerry O’Keefe, fore- man of hose No. 2, was turning on the water when a bullet entered his side. He is mortally wounded and dying in a hospi- tal. An unknown man was taken to 612 East Eighth street, dead, blown to pieces by,dynamite. Another unknown man was mortally wounded by dynamite. Mahoney, a miner at the Big Four, who was near the Emmett, was shot in the stomach. He died in the arms of his com- panions. One of the men who brought the report had his clothes nearly all torn off, but was not seriously hurt. At 3:30 a.,m. an attack was made on the Emmett. There Were over 100 shots fired, but a telephone message from the minestates that the attack was repulsed and that no lives are known to have been lost and no do!“ _:s to property had result- ed. The strike began on thelOth of J une and therefore entered upon its fourth month today. It has paralyzed business, caused hunger and suffering in hundreds of families and has cut down the mineral output of the camp more than one-half. This bleedy battle is believed to be the last desperate effort of the radical element of- the strikers to force the stoppage of all mines that are not paying the increased scale of wages demanded by the union. Many of the strikers have asserted all along that they would “clean out the state” and even government troops if brought here rather than see outside labor come to the camp. The mine managers, who at first refused to recognize the union, ofifered a compromise, but this was rejected. Troops Ordered to Leadville. DENVER, Sept. 22.—The troops ordered to go to Leadville to take the field at once are as follows: First brigade, Brigadier General E. "J. Brooks, commanding, First infantry,- Colonel A. W.

The General Was the Spanish Governor‘ of the Philippines. MADRID, Sept. 22. —‘-A special dispatch fram' Hongkong to the Imparcial says it is reported there, upon the strength of ad- vices from Manilla, that General Blahco, Spanish governor of the Philippine islands, has disappeared. It is supposed that he has been murdered. The spirit of revolt has been rife in the Philippines for months past. Private ad- vices ast winter mentioned that trouble was brewing, and the statement was flatly contradicted by the Spanish officials in this country. But a few weeks ago it had to be acknowledged that the islands were in revolt and that re—enforcements had been dispatched with all haste to help the permanent army of occupation. All the dispatches since sent out from Madrid concerning the rising have de- scribed the latter as having been sup- pressed, but this is no more the case than it is in Cuba. The rebels are positively known to be making headway in the in- terior. Several thousapd of them occupy strong positions at Cavite. It isn t, how- ever, by any means clear how it is possible for them to have done away with General Blanco‘ a body, even if they succeeded in murdering him, surrounded, as he must have been, by the elaborate military pre- cautions which are always taken to safe- guard the person of the governor of a dis- affected Spanish colony. General Blanco was formerly governor general of Cuba. The Spaniards are not fortunate in their colonial possessions; Cuba, which they are in imminent danger of losing, has practi- cally made the mother country bankrupt. The Philippines, apart from the rebellious disposition of their inhabitants, have caused them no end of anxiety. The is— lands are of volcanic formation and are traversed from north to’ south by a chain of mountains, some of which are still ac- tive volcanoes. Earthquakes are of fre- quent occurrence. The group is within the range of the monsoons and violent hurri- canes, often as destructive as the earth- quakes, are common. There are about 12, 000 islands in all, and 408 of these are inhabited. Manilla is the seat of the government and residence of the governor general. Each of the larger islands is administered by a lieutenant overnor, and each of the 30 provinces is nturn in charge of an alcalde. Spain's Campaign In Cuba. HAVANA, Sept. 22.—The director of the Conservatory of Music, Hubert Blanck, and an American planter. Alfredo-Her- nandez, have been expelled from Cuba and will soon leave this city for Key West. Further particulars regarding the at— tack upon Mayerl, Santiago de Cuba, on Sept. 5, show that the insurgents num- bered 2,000 men, under Ferrer, Vega, Stort and Nieves. The fighting lasted three hours, and the insurgents lost over 60 men. A dispatch from Cardenas, Matanzas, says that Francisco Tolon, brother of Samuel T. Tolon, the American citizen who was arrested recently on board the Ward line steamship Seneca at this port, and a man named Jose Lago Leal have. been sent to the-zaffariu islands penal settlement of! the coast of Morocco, With Gonzalez Sansusa. Alfredo Zayas, Adolphe Diaz, anacio Lamas, Miguel Gonzalez, Pedro Becura and Francisco Alday. The steamer Satrustegui has arrived here from Spain with re- -enforcements of 74 officers and 2,100 men, and the steam- ' ship Puerto Rico, also from Spain, has reached this port with re-e'nforcements, consisting of 7 officers and 800 soldiers.

Persistent Revival of the Rumor m Great Britain and the United States' ‘ I ‘ ~ Will Support Italy~ In De-' mands Upon the Sultan. LONDON, Sept. 22.—The St. James as- settc this afternoon publishes a dispatch from Milan, Italy, stating that the 800010 of that city says that the departure of the Italian squadron for the Levant is the in- itiative stefi toward forcing Turkey to grant the reforms demanded in the .. so of Armenia and that it is taken by Italy sup- rted by the United States and Great ritain.

ConsrANrtnorm, Sept. 22.—Details re- ceived here regarding the massacre just re- ported tc have occurred at Egin, in the vilayet of Kharput, show that it took place on the 15thland 16th of the present month. The Kurds attacked the Armenian quar- ter. killed large numbers of its inhabitants and pillaged and burned their houses. Many Armenians escaped to the moun- tains. According to the accounts of the Turkish government, 600 Armenians were killed at Egin. These ofiicial advices state that the outrage was provoked by the Ar- menians firing into the Turkish quarter. The Armenians of Egin escaped the mas- sacres of 1895 by purchasing their security with moneyand produce. It is feared here that the massacre at Egin is the beginning of a fresh series of massacres in Armenia, which was antici- pated after the massacres which have just been ended here. A special cabinet meeting has been held at the palace in order to consider plans for completing the defenses of the Dardanelles as proposed by the Russian General Tschi- katschefl, who inspected these fortifications some time ago. ‘ Artim Pasha, the Turkish undersecre- tary for foreign affairs, has been instructed to accomplish the reconciliation of the gov- ernment with the Armenians, the means suggested being that the Armenians should send an address to the sultan praying for protection, asserting that the Armenians are always loyal and condemning the agi- tutors.
