BALTIMORE, July 22.-The situation
in Baltimore remains practically un.
changed as regards the strike. Crowds
Of people have thronged the streets all
day. The Camden Station Of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad has been con
verted into a military depot, where
about $50 State troops and about as
many more United States soldiers are
stationed, with three pieces OF artillery.
Locust Point is another stronghold
which has been threatened by rioters.
Here are the two great elevators Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the
United States bonded warehouses on
railroad piers filled with merchandise.
The elevators and warehouses are on
the deep water front, and protected by
the revenue cutter Ewing, on board of
which sixty marines are stationed. The
shore may be raked by the guns of the
cutter in case Of riot or attempted pill
lage. The garrison at Fort McHenry
has been strengthened by several COM
panies. In the city two companies of
United States soldiers have been sta
toned as reserves in the armory of the
Sixth Regiment which will tend to
facilitate the recuperation Of that shat
tered command, which, it will be re-
membered, figured in the street fight
Of July 90 Troops have been also
stationed at Mt. Glare depot and some
other points threatened by the strikers
In all upwards of 1000 soldiers form
the law and order garrison Of the city
of Baltimore tonight. Oh these about
COO are militia and 1,400 are United
States troops, including artillerymen
as infantry and marines from Wash
ington and Norfolk. The marines are
in command of Colonel Charles Hay
ward. Seven companies Of troops from
New York harbor, under General r. b.
Ayres, Colonel of Third Artillery,
reached the city this afternoon All
the troops are admirably disposed for
eflicentservice and it is tho determine
ton of all concerned to have order, and
there will be no let down from that
position. Other things will be talked
about afterwards.
NEW REGIMENTS TO BE RAISED.
Orders have been issued by the Gov
ernor OF Maryland to recruit the Fifth
and Sixths Regiments, Maryland Ma
tional Guard, up to 1000 men each.
The regiments how have in service
about $50 men each. General George
IL. Stewart, a graduate of West Point,
and formerly an officer in the United
States army, who served in the Con
federatc army during the war between
the States, has been commissioned to
raise the Seventh Regiment, and open
an office TO recruit 1000 men. The
officers and men Of the militia are TO
be placed on the same pay and footing
as United States troops. In addition
to the military, State and Federal, 500
special policemen have been enlisted,
thus increasing this force up to one
thousand men. The specials are placed
on the same footing and under the
same discipline as the regular force.
As an additional protective influence
the police have received orders to ar
rest all persons who are found selling
strong drink in violation of orders
GENERAL HANCOCK ON THE GROUND.
AT an early hour this morning Major
General w. S. Hancock reached Balti-
more from New York on the regular
train, and was followed in the aiter
noon by the troop train, which he had
been ordered to dispatch to this depart
ment. He was accompanied by his
Inspector General II. II. Arnold, and
Aids, Colonel W. G.. Mitchell and Gen
eral c. G. Sawtelle. They have estab-
ished their quarters at Barnum's Ho-
tel General Hancock is not here to
take any command, having simply |
come in an advisory capacity. The
United States troops are to form a
posse comHdtus, called out at the request
of Governor Carroll, of Maryland. In
his advisory capacity, General Han
cock has had consultation during the
day with Governor Carroll and General
Herbert, commanding the State troops.
General W. II. Barry is in command
of all the United States troops in the
city and at Fort MeHenry, whore he
is stationed.
THE MOB AGAIN.
Brigadior General IL. G. Abbott, who
reached Baltimore at IL A. NJ. from
Willis Point, N. Y, with three compa-
nies of the United States Engineer
Corps, one hundred men and seven
officers, were met by mob in the
President street depot of the Philadel-
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore Rail
road. The crowd groaned and hisscd
the soldiers. In passing along the
President street depot on their way
to the Sixth Regiment armory, where
the late riot began on Friday, the En-
gineer Corps was stoned. Private
Michael Corcoran was hit on the head
and painfully injured. The command
was ordered to halt and the mob dis
persed. The corps was not further
troubled. They carried breech-loadcrs
and cutlass bayoncts, which make
very formidable weapon. The regular
troops now in Baltimore are all picked
and disciplined men, and will ininse q
fine spirit into the State forces. They
all have the latest breech-loading arms.
Saturday night was one of intense
fcverishness and uncertainty. Many
persons did not go to bed, and during
the night over 5000 people assembled
in threatening mob at the Camden
depot and the police, protected by the
soldiers, arrested several hundred OF
them, and they were taken to the sta
ton house and Jail, After this the
mob gradually fell of. A serious riot
occurred the same night at the Mount
