PANAMA, April 24.-The following are
the latest mail advices concerning the
Chilian revolution: On the 4th Martin
Larraine arrived here. He is the same
man who on the 4th inst. saved the work
men who we're on a strike in Iquique. At
6 a. m. on the morning of the 3D. upwards
of 5000 workmen collected at Pazo AL
monte, in order to proceed to Iquique
and make a formal representation re-
speeding the scarcity of provisions.
After they reached the works, the manag-
or, William Johnson gave them ten barrels
of biscuits and 1000 tins of preserves,
which we're distributed among the strik-
ers. They remained there that night
and On the following day sent some of
their leaders on to Negreiros. There
more men were to be collected. Sudden
ly, however, a train appeared, loaded
with government troops, under Martin
Larraine. Without hating or parleying
there, the troops opened fire on the de-
fenseless workmen, women and chill
dren. Shortly afterward, the forces
marched forward and killed all the men.
Meanwhile, men from the Negreiros
works, with commissioners from Ramir-
ez, returned to their houses, otherwise
they might also have fallen victims.
Some who escaped from the slaughter
took refuge in the nitrate fields, but
were subsequently followed up and
killed. After these deeds had been COM
mitted, some 50 men were arrested, and
of this number eighteen were murdered.
LENA Diario said on March 18th: ''The
Gillian government and CHILEAN rebel
authorities have both shot several per-
o M Among the number was Anibal
Naranjo, a government officer who was
shot when the rebels retired from Ovalle.
It is stated that, when the government
forces retired from Pozo Almonte, they
shot all the prisoners they had and de-
stroyed all the nitrate establishments
they passed. The number of men who
took part in the fight at Pozo Almonte
on March 7th is estimated at 1000 and
nearly t~hree-fourths of this
number we're under orders of
government leaders. The contest
was a sanguinary Il and more than ] 900
killed and wounded was the result. The
Balmaceda forces were routed with a
loss of all their artillery and a greater
number of the infantry. The cavalry,
which took no part in the combat, joined
with a few infantry soldiers, who fled to-
ward the west, and with the head of the
Barbosas column, which arrived at
Pampa after the action Immediately re-
tired toward Gamma. The revolution
airy army committed a number of atrOci-
ties which the commanders and officers
could not prevent. At Pozo, Almonte,
the centre of the Nitrate district, where
there were about 1000 Inhabitants, and
of whom many persisted, including
women, when the dispersed troops were
followed up, and when the vlctors COM
menced to plumber drinking shops and
provision stores.
Excitement Increasing.
ScoTTDALE, Pa, April 24.-There was
more excitement at or near by the coke
works to-day, as a result of the many
evictions, than there has been for many
months. Deputy Crawford with a large
body of assistants, and guarded by Com
pany G, began throwing out dozen fam
lilies at Whites, this morning, including
the one in the notorious ''souphouse."
This was done without any decided OPP
position, except an occasional collision
with irate females. The evicting party
then marched to Morgan's, attended by
several hundred strikers. At the very
outskirts a Hungarian struck one of the
guards with Il stone. This was followed
by a shower of stones from a crowd of
children, but no one was badly hurt by
the volley. The house occupied by Nc
Emery, a local leader, was soon reached,
and Company G formed a circle about 1t,
keeping back the crowd that now had
grown to enormous proportions. Mrs.
McEnery was in delicate health, but
when Deputy Dickson grabbed a chair
she flew at him, when he lost
his head, drew two bulldog re-
volvers, and, after calling her
a vile name, threatened to shoot. Cries
of Shame" and Coward" from the
guards and strikers alike overawed the
fellow and he skunk away. The wom-
an amused herself by humping Dep
uty Skies on the ribs with a jug, then
sat down amidst her household goods
in the road and wept contentedly. Then
the deputies went to Summit, where SIX
teen families were unhoused without
much trouble. Company G arrived here
this evening and wentinto quarters at the
armory. They are a tired set, but all
are in good spirits. Sheriff Mccormick
says their services will not likely be
needed again until Monday, as no more
evictions will take place until then. Ad-
jutant-General McClelland believes the
strike will 1901 end. T~wenty-nine men
and women from Trotter had a hearing
before Squire Dawson here to-day and
twenty-four of them bound over in 5000
bail each, for their appearance at the
June term of court. They we're charged
with rioting.
More Bloodshed.
UN1oNTowN, Pa, April 23.-This was
one of the most troublesome and excit-
ing DAYS since the great coke strike was
