A TERRIBLE CRISIS
In tbe Strike Situation Depu-
ties Kill Twelve Strikers.
Hazelton Pa. September 10.
The strike situation reached
a terrible crisis on the outskirts
of Latimer this afternoon when
a band of deputies under Sher
iff Martin fired into an infariat
ed mob of minere.The men fell
like so many sheep and the ex-
citement since has been so in-
tense that no accurate figures
of the dead and wounded can
be obtained.
Reports run from fifteen to
twenty killed and forty or more
wounded. One man who reach
ed the scene tonight counted
thirteen corpses. Other bodies
lie in the mountains between
Latimer and Harleigh. Those
who were not injured took their
dead and injured friends into
the woods and estimate is im-
possible. The strikers left Hazelton at
3 o'clock this afternoon an-
nouncing their intention to go
to Latimer. When this became
known a band of deputies was
loaded on a trolley car and
went whirling across the moun-
tain to the scene where the
bloody conflict followed. On
reaching Latimer they drew up
in line at the end of the village
just as the strikers approached.
Sheriff Martin went out to
meet them. The men drew up
sullenly and listened in silence
until he had once more read
the riot act. Then low mutter-
ings arose among the foreigners
and there was a slight forward
movement. Perceiving this the
sheriff stepped toward them
and warned them not to march.
Some one struck the sheriff and
the nest moment there was a
command to tfae deputies to
fire. Tbe guns of the deputies
inBtantly belched forth a ter-
rible volley. The report seemed
to shake the very mountains
afnd a cry of dismay went up
from the people. The strikers
were taken entirely by surprise
and as the men toppled over
each other those who remained
unhurt stampeded. The men
went down before the storm of
bullets like ten pins and the
groans of the dying and wound-
ed filled the air. The excite
ment that followed was simply
indescribable. The deputies
seemed to be terror stricken at
the deadly execution of their
guns and seeing the living
strikers fleeing like wild and
others dropping to the earth
they went to tbe aid of the un-
fortunates whom they had
brought down.
The people of Latimer rush-
ed pell mell to the scene but
the shrieks of the wounded
drowned the cries of the sym-
pathizers and half crazed in-
habitants. A reporter who
soon afterward rsache tie
scene found the road leading io
aer fiiisd with group pf
friahtnpd Hungarians. Some
surmmnded dyiog companions
therr fearful of Tmrtuir
begged for protection. At Far
jley's hotel there were two men
lying on the porch both shot
in ihe head. One had three
bullets in him. His groans and
appeals for a doctor or death
were heartrending. All along
the road the wounded men who
were able to leave the field of
battle scattered themselves and'
sought the shade of the trees
for protection but there was
no need of that thpn. Ap-
proaching the place where the
shooting occurred people were
met wringing their hands and
bemoaning the catastrophe.
They could not talk intelligibly
and it was with the greatest
difficulty that information
could be gleaned. Along the
bank of the trolley road men
lay in every position some
dead others dying.
THE DIFFERENCE
IN MONEY.
Washington D. C Sept. 8.
The Treasury Department
has received notice of the im-
portation at Eagle Pass Texas
of 507 head of cattle from Mex-
ico. It is stated that this is
the first entry of import under
the new tariff since it went into
effect and the treasury offioials
call attention to it as it was
contended by opponents of the
bill that the increase of 7 1-2
per cent ad yalorem on cattle
would be found to be prohibi-
tory. Another large entry is
expected soon at Laredo Tex.
It would be entirely prohibi-
tory were it not for the great
difference between gold and
Mexican silver dollars and
that 7 1-2 per cent increase is
generally paid by those least
able to afford it. as the poor
people are forced to pay that
much more for thei meat
without in any manner increas
ing their abilities to pay: In
other words aside from good
rains and good crops the mas
ses are worse off now than be-
fore McKinley's election as
they have to pay more for
nearly nil of their supplies
whereas the great majority had
about all they could do before
to "make both ends meet."
THE
FORGIVING
BUSINESS.
The North "forgave" the
South but the fact that the
South has paid $750000000
in pensions would lead us to
infer that the North did not in-
vest in the forgiving business
purely for her health. Mem-

DIRT
Dr. Swearingen's Order to
County Judges to Enforce
Quarantine Measures.
Austin Tex. Sept. 10.
State Health Officer Swear-
ingen returned this morning
from his trip alone; the qua-
rantine stations and at once
issued the following circular
letter to all the county judges
and the commissioners' courts
of all counties on the Louisi-
ana border:
Austin lex.. ept. 10.
The prevalence of yellow fever
in the Mississippi valley
makes it! necessary that string
ent measures be instituted at
once to prevent the introduc-
tion of the disease into Texas.
The small amount ol money
at my disposal renders it im-
possible for me to guard all
danger points; and I respect-
fully suggest that your honor-
able court declare local qua-
rantine against all places now
infected or that may hereafter
become infected by yellow
fever and that your county
physician be instructed to
place guards on all dirt roads
entering the state from Louisi-
ana. The state will guard the
railroad crossings. Let the
guards be instructed to con-
form to the general proclama-
tion of quarantine against all
infected districts. A com-
pliance with this request will
enable us to enforce a rational
quarantine which I think will
be more effective and less
amazing than the old "shot-
gun" quarantine.
Please notify me the name
and postoffice address of your
county physician that I may
be able to keep him thorough-
ly posted. Very truly yours
R. M. Swearirgen State

MILITARY TRAINING
OF DIAZ'S SON.
Mexico City Mex. Septem-
ber 8. Capt Porfirio Diaz
son of the president of the re-
public who has been complet-
ing his engineering course in
the offices of Messrs. Pearson
& Son in London is now fol- -lowing
the programme map-
ped out by his father on the
continent. From London he
went a few days ago to St.
diamond where he examined
he great arms factory and
thence to Paris. Alter a few
days in the gay republican
capital he went to Cherbourg
where by courtesy of the
French Government he is now-
examining the works and de-
fenses of that famous arsenal
and port which as a military-
engineer the young Captain
will be able to appreciate! -
From Cherboug he will again
proceed to St. Chamond where
he will meet Col. Mondragon
who is commissioned by the
Mexican Government to ex-
amine and test the improved
Mondragon breech-loading ri- -fled
cannon being manufactur-
ed at the great steel works of
St. Chamond which furnish1
the greater part of the artillery -1
now used in the Mexican army.
It is understood that Col:
Mondragon and Capi Diaz
will together also test a num-
ber of cannon of the Bange-5
typeordered from tKes&works." "
It is probable that Capt. Diaz
will return to Mexico' with Col;'
Mondragon after the military
commission has terminated 'its
duties in Europe. .
