UNDER MARTIAL LAW.


At noon to-day the boroushs of Johps.
towr and the adjoining boroughs, or
what is left Of them, practically passed
under martial law. Adjutant General
Hastings says he has not declared mar.
tial law yet. The soldiers are on guard,
and no one is permitted between the
lines unless they have an order from the
Adjutant General. Sight-seers arc de-
barred altogether, and the town is mac
cessible, except TO newspaper men and
other people who have business there.
Every point is guarded and soldiers pa
troll the dividing lines. They are very
active and deport themselve like old vet
erans. They guard approaches religiouSly
and have orders to stop any one
who crosses the line. 1t is probable that
the Eighteenth Regiment will be ordered
out, from the fact that it takes so many
soldiers to cover the ground. 4 special
guard will have to be put at hernville,
Mlllvale, Cambria City and other points,
and this alone will take regiment of
soldiers. The Adjutant General was
at first backward at ordering out any
troops, from the fact that it would
naturally create the impression that
tAsse Ss.s re
Tor calling cut the troops is to relieve
the Pittsburg and Johnstown police,
who have had little or no sleep for
several days past.
THE LIVING AND THE DEAD.
The real work of ascertaining who the
living and the dead of Johnstown are
was started this morning, a corps of
clerks, under the direction of relief
committee, started out this morning, and
they will 60 to every house in the vicin-
it, and secure the names Of the living.
Another corps of men will endeaver to
find out who the missing are, and in
this manner it can be nearly definitely
known just how many were lost in the
food. a revision of the registration
books show that only 5000 people had
registered up to one o'clock this after
noon at the different registration sta
tions, and by this list it is apparent that
a large number of the survivors will not
take the trouble to 60 and register. At
one of the stations, consequently the
plan of having registers make the can
vas was adopted.
The Situation at Williansport.
WnLIAMSPoRT, Pa, June 6.-The
people breathe little easier, now that all
apprehensions as to further suffering
with hunger have been disSipated.
Seven cars of supplies were brought up
yesterday evening by the Secretary of
the Commonwealth and are ready to be
unloaded, and work will begin some
time to-day. The track is not repaired
far enough to bring the cars opposite
the centre of the city, and boats cannot
get down to were they are. Before
evening they will be reached. The
Mayor this morning telegraphed the
Governor that enough provisions are on
the way to last our people for several
days. The relief committees have been
exceedingly busy and are constantly
finding cases Of suffering. There-Tsa
very large class who>Sre not applying
for relief but-Edi0 have lost all their
honSeehS15if goods and all their clothing.
These include good classes Of people,
many of whom lived on the principal
streets. Nearly every lawyer who occu-
pied first floor Office has lost all MS
books.
