Mr. PLEASANT, Pa. April 4-The situa-
,ion in the coke regions has not materially
changed within the last twenty-four hours.
Troops have charge Of the coke company's
nrouerty and feeling prevails that as long
as the militia remain there will be no more
Iswlessuess. The soldiers cannot stay al
Uavs. however, and it is feared that unless
the strike is settled before they are called
home depredations will be renewed just as
soon as their backs are turned. The feeling
among the strikers is intensely bitter, but
they are careful to commit no overt act. and
content themselves with scowling at the
militia and mutterlng in an unintelligibie
tongue.

neoule viewed the bodies of the men who

ten Of whom could speak English, filed
around the bier upon which the dead lay.

tte lives Of Capt. Lauer and his deputies

ualy on the people who are responsible for
the death of their countrymen. The scene
