confirm my previous dispatch in most partic-
 ulars. It now appears that the men who went into the Chinese gambling house began l the assault. They were playing billiards, and
 one of them struck Chinaman with cue
 three times, when John attacked him with a
 knife. He ran out bleeding and returned with
 crowd, who began to pelt the Chinese with
 bricks. One of the Chinamen then fired six
 shots out of window, which intensified the | excitement. An alarm of fire was sounded
 and soon the fire department, the police and the Mayor had arrived. The mob, at that time several thousand strong was crying
 Down with the Chinese :" The Mayor made
 an address, which he had scarcely concluded
 when his voice was drowned in universal cry of Death to the Chinese! Hurrah for
 Hancock :" and the crowd pushed and surged with increased vigor. Then came the cry from the spectators and lovers of order,
 Turn the water on !" and then the mob yelled back, ''Wash the - Chinamen out drown the heathens !" but when they realized that the intention was to turn the water upon them, the howls were
 ''Iurn your water on and we'll turn it off turn the water on and we will cut the hose - the Mayor hurrah for Hancock !"
 At last the water was turned on and the mob was driven back a few rods several fights and arrests taking place during the time All this occurred in the afternoon on Wazee and Sixteenth streets and vicinity.
 There are so many Chinese houses in this section that it is called Chinatown and their presence gives name to one of the streets. The Chlneses house were all barricaded and comparative quiet was restored The mob remained in the street, however, until after nightfall, when the real raid began. China town was first gutted of furniture and several intellectual attempts made to fire the houses. Then the crowd left for other con- quests

 hat killed, but only one corpse has been found, that of Sing Lee, who has wash house at the corner of Lawrence and Nineteenth streets. The poor man and his partner had evidently not heard of the trouble and were quietly working away usual The crowd rushed at the house, tore away the shutters and doors and the foremost rushed into the room, from which the two Chinamen had hastily fled, and scattered the washing in and about the streets and gutters. Another DOT tion rushed to the back of the house to pre- vent the exit of the two Chinamen With the yells and cries that accompanied all their actions the mob succeeded in chasing the Chinamen into the street, where they were kicked, cuffed and beaten they attempted to fly through the crowd. One burly ruffian seized the smaller of the two helpless men, and pulling out bowie knife cut off the Chi naman's queue and taking it in his hand struck him across the face with it. The other Sing Lee, fared still worse. After his queue had been cut away a rope was thrown about his neck, ,and with yell the other end was seized and the poor helpless fellow dragged and led up the street with the rope almost strangling him. It would have been a mercy to have killed him outright, but he was made the prey of the mob following on behind, who vied with each other in seeing who could strike the poor fellow the hardest. Under one of these cowardly blows the Chinaman fell to the ground bleeding mass. He was being dragged on in this way when a crowd of citi- zens rushed to the poor fellows rescue: He was unconscious when carried to a physi- elan s office, and in few moments was a corpse. Another so badly used at Ara pahoe and Sixteenth street that he has been taken to hospital and, it is believed, cannot recover.
 THE MOB DISPERSED-ARRESTS MADE.
 Some two hundred police, extra and regu- lar, and deputy sheriffs were now on the streets and the mob began to scatter. At Fourteenth and Lawrence streets they fired in the air and some fifty of the mob took refuge in the Methodist church in which ser vices were being conducted, creating great consternation. They were at last dispersed and quiet reigned at two this morning The mob has remained quiet to-day, but great many threats are heard tonight The police and sherif's force now number 400 men, well organized and in charge of General N. J. Cook, who suppressed the recent Lead vile riot. Some twenty arrests have been made, and the police have spotted many men. No leader of the rabble has yet been devel- oped.
