Steamer Sierra Nevada, over due from Nicar-
aqua, had not arrived at San Francisco when the
Golden Age left. Immediately ON her arrival
she was to be dispatched with troops for Col.
Walker.
The papers ore filed with matters concerning
the revolutionary state of affairs atSan Francis
co. Casey and Cora were hung by the vigilance
committee Mt the same time that the funeral
rites of King were being performed. Th place
of execution was Surroundedby 1000 bayonets,
EX-Jugde Fred. McCiawen former Sheriff has
been indicted by the grand Jury, rs an accessory
in the murder of King, but escaped.
The Vigilance Committee have arrested sew
eral ballet box suffers and desPeradoeS, and also
obtained possession of a fraudulent ballot box
of ingenious construction. Astounding cleo
ton frauds have been revealed.
On the I'd of June the opponents of the bIg-
lance Committee held a mass meeting i'll the
Plaza, first warning, by printed p%lacards, the
friends of the Committed not to enter the Plaza
during the meeting. The effect of this waS to
show the real strength of thelaw an1-Ordcr par
ty. About 1000 were present. no violence, but
much confusion.
A resolution was passed calling upon the peo-
pie to resist the Vigilance Committee.
Judge Terry, of the Supreme Court, issued a
writ of habeas corpus, demanding the prisoners
in the hands Of the Committee, but it was re-
sisted.
On the Sd the Governor issued a proclamation
declaring the country in a state of insurrecton,
and autloring the Maj General of the I'd divis-
ion of State militia to raise an army TO preserve
law and order.
This did not alarm the committee, they had
5000 men fully equipped and ready for instant
action, being thoroughly organized and in con-
slant drill for two weeks under competent otilcers.
Men, money and munitions of war from all
parts of the state and it is confidently believed
that the Governors efforts will amount to moth
ing. The volunteer military curnpany's of San
Francisco and Sacramento have diSbanded III
order to avoid being called out by the Governor.
1t is reported however that 1900 men have en-
rolled under government authorities. No col
lision is anticipated. A petition nnmGrouSly
signed was in circulation asking the Governor to
call an extra session of the legislature, the Wig
lance Committee deny having anything to do
with it.
The San Francisco Herald is the only journa!
which opposes the Committee, it puts a differ
ent coloring on the state of affairs and says the
Governors proclamation was largely responded
to, that the citizens are pressing forward to
enroll themselves under the authorities, that on
the 4th of June 1910 were enrolled, that by
Saturday 10000 would be in arms on the side
of law and order, three divisions of state militia
have been ordered out, many new companies OF
volunteers are forming.
The markets at San Francisco are very dali.
Money tight.

Carwcne L. 5. Commissioner, to cnquireinto the
Panama riot. was at his post busy making lnYcS-
