Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1885-09-19

ANYTHING whatever concerning she al
tacks upon Cinnamon and burning of
their quarters. The examination was
chiefly conducted by Judge Savage,
who was materially assisted by Hanna,
who is himself q mine-owner and ia
miliar with the subject Of miners
grievances. Every opportunity has
been furnished citizens and miners to
present their grievances. The Govern
ment directors decided, upon facts as
shown, to send the following dispatch
to Secretary Lamar 1.-The under
signed, Government directors Of the
Union Pacific railroad, pursuant to law,
report that we have made investigation
upon the spot into the alleged outrage
which recently occurred at this place.
We find such a condition Of affairs here
as in our opinion endangers the pro-
perty Of the road, jeOpardizes the
interest Of the Government, and calls
for prompt interference. We think,
therefore, it important that full author
ity should be given to the proper Off
GERS to afford ample assistance to the
managers in their efforts to protect the
property of the company and conduct
the business Of the road.
ISignedl "E. y. ALEXANDER,
M. A. HANNA,
JAMES W. SAVAGE"
The Chinese Consul at San Francisco,
Bee. and the Chinese Consul at New
York are here with a Chinese inter
prefer to make a thorough inyestiga-
ton on behalf Of the Chinese Govern
ment of all the circumstances connected
with the outbreak. They are ordered
here by the Chinese Legation at Wash
ington. Colonel Bee has already had
the remains of some of the Cinnamon
who were killed exhumed. 1t was
found in two instances that the skulls
of the Cinnamon were fractured, indl-
eating that they were killed in a strug-
Gle at close quarters. The COnsuls have
offered reward Of as each for addition
al bodies found in the vicinity. Accurate
returns as to the number Of Cinnamon
killed cannot yet lie made, but so far
as can now be learned there are fifteen
missing, and the whole number killed
is twenty-five. Colonel Bee has made
up his mind. from conversations with
citizens and officials, that any attempt
to bring the offenders to justice through
the local authorities will fail. 1t is the
intention to telegraph the State Depart
ment, through the Legation, calling for
more rigorous measures for the prose-
cution of criminals by the United States
courts under the provisions Of the
treaty with China.
Colonel Bee says all proceedings that
have been had in the matter so far are
a bald farce, and unless the matter is
taken in hand by the United States
authorities there will be nothing done.
He finds that eleven Of the grand jury
before whom the eases of the men al
ready arrested will be tried are cti-
zens Of Rock Springs, many of them
miners. all Of whom are sympathizers
with the rioters, while OF the petty
Jury fourteen Of the twenty-lour are from
Rock Springs. ColoRel Bee states as
one remarkable development Of the in
| quiries that not one OF the men en-
gagged in the Outbreak was an Ameri-
can-born citizen. He deems it eSpe-
cially significant that the cutlery against
the Chinese, which is depended upon to
| Justify the outrages, comes from men
who are not themselves natives. and
many Of them not citizens of the United
States. Under instructions from the
Attorney-General, United States Dis
rict-AttOrney Campbell came up from
Cheyenne this morning to assist
the Chinese Consuls in their inyesti-
CATION of the affair. Adjutant-General
Williams. of General Schoiield's staff,
has telegraphed General Schoteld a
statement of the situation. and gave his
opinion that in consequence Of the
amount of guard duty to be done one
hundred more soldiers should be sent
here. General McCook is here, having
IN charge the Chinese COnSulS, with IN
structions to give them the most COM
plete protection, even from insult and
incivility. 1t is thought that work will
be resumed in two of the mines on
Monday. An opportunity will be given
to all white miners who have not been
discharged for participation in the riots
to resume work if they choose. If
they do not their places will be filled
by other white men, and they will be
discharged from the company service.
