received here from Rock Springs,
Wy, this forenoon indicate worse
state of affairs than was first report
ed. All the Cinnamon, over 800 in
number, have been driven out of the
town. Thus far, 15 dead Cinnamon
have been discovered, and there are
probably as many more dead bodies
in the ruins. Fifty houses belonging
to the railroad company and 90 more
owned by Cinnamon were burned.
The Cinnamon are yet in the hills
west of the town. They are without
food and are afraid to 60 TO Green
River City, about 10 miles distant.
Governor Warren is now at Rock
Springs with General uperintendent
Dickinson and Superintendent Wus-
tele, of the Western division of the
Union Pacific Railroad. No more
disturbance is anticipated. Food will
be sent by the authorities to the
starving Cinnamon in the hills.
SAN FRANCISCO, Call, Sept. g.
Colonel Bee, the Chinese consul, re-
ceived the following despatch from
Evanston, Wyoming, to-day relative
to the massacre of Chinese at Rock
Springs yesterday: 1.-THE number of
Chinese killed outright was II. There
are large number of wounded still
in the hills, many of whom will
probably die. The Chinese dare not
go out in search Of them" The de-
spatch concludes by stating that it
was nothing but a massacre of de-
fenseless people.
CHEYENNE, wy, Sept. 3.-The
worst has evidently not been told re-
garding the anti-Chinese outbreak in
the western portion of Wyoming.
According to adYices from Evanston,
where the second largest cOal-mining
camp of the Union Pacific Road is
located, the outbreak was a precOn-
certed one. 1t has been arranged that
the first attack upon the Chinese was
to be made in Carbon, a mining town
about $50 miles east of Rock Springs,
to be followed by like movement
in the latter place and Evanston. The
Rock Springs miners, however, took
the initiative, and the result there
has been announced. The mob at
that place looted the houses of the
Chinese before setting on fire. The
Outrages commenced in mine No. 6,
where three Chinese miners were at
tackled and killed. Then the riot
commenced all over the town, even
women joining in it with loaded shot
guns in their hands. Superinten-
dent Evans, of the coal mines, had
been warned to leave town, and he
did so with alacrity, passing through
here to-day en- route for Omaha.
Nothing can be heard from Carbon,
as the operator there is evidently
afraid to send news from Evanston.
The sheriff Of Uinta county tele-
graphed this evening to Governor
Warren as follows:
A large number of citizens, with
myself, are satisfied that the outrages
committed at Rock Springs will be
repeated and are liable to break out
at any time. We need troops to pro-
tect the lives and property of our cit
liens.
Governor Warren is at Green river
but he has telegraphed to the COM
handing officers at Fort Steele and
Fort A. D. Russell, and the troops
shave been ordered to hold themselves
in readiness to move at a moments
notice.
CHEYENNE, w. T., Tept. ga
special from Rock Springs gives the
latest information that can be obtain
ed from the scene of the recent anti
Chinese troubles. All is quiet to-day
and the miners have returned to
work. AT a meeting held last night
measures were taken to put stop to
the drunken carousals of few of
their number who had been celebrat.
ing the removal of the Chinese.
Two more dead CelestiaIe were
found to-day, one in the ruins of
Chinatown and the other beneath a
roilroad bridge about mile east of
the place. The latter had been
wounded and had managed to walk
that far before giving up. Miners
who took an active part in the attack
upon Chinatown say that less than
0ne-third of the dead Chinese in the
ruins of the houses have been found
thus far. They declare that no less
than twenty-five were shot down in
side the burned buildings. These
buildings had dirt roofs, which cov-
cred up the dead Cinnamon when
the buildings succumbed to the
flames, and, as no actual search has
been made in the ruins, it is quite
probable that the miners statements
