KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 80. - The

when only handful of men opposed
them. The governor had hardly reached

they will induce their insurgent army
to lay down their arms and allow the
convicts to return to the mines il the
governor will promise to call an
extra session of the legislature and ask
that the lease law be repealed. A com.
mittee of citizens of this city met the
governor and miners, and Joined in the
appeal.
Miners Must Withdraw Today.
The governor has given them until
this afternoon to restore order and al

"A DiaboiIeaI Plot.
The miners, from reports recelveo,

miners have, it Is reported, drilled holes
in the rock Of bluff under which
troops will have to pass and have loaded
them with dynamite, which they intend
to explode and wipe the whole militia
off the face of the earth IL they ever got
that far.
A captain of one Of the militia COM
panies informed your correspondent on
his word of honor that he saw the holes,
and that one of the miners, who is his
friend, told him that the miners intended
throwing the whole bluff down on them.
The thirteen companies here, the same
men that were at the Birmingham riot,
are pretty badly excited. They, how
ever, all swear they go with the intetl-

The Knoxville rifles held meeting
yesterday, and determined to go back
with the troops, although their term OF
service has expired.

stream Guards.
LONDON, July 23.-Truth asserts thai
a mutiny Of the Second battalion Of the
Coldstream Guards occurred weeh
ago. The paper says that day off Of
duty, which the men had expected after
their exacting duties in attending upon
the kaiser, was not granted, but that in
stead the guardsmen were ordered oui
in full marching order.
Thereupon the first and third compa-
nies Of the battalion refused to obey the
order, and persisted in such refusal un.
til they finally yielded to the persistent
pleadings of their officers and marched
to Hyde Park for the usual drill. Here
the bearing of the men of the entire bat
talon assumed SO insubordinate and
sullen an aspect that the command was
marched back to the barracks, within
which it was ordered to be confined fol
three days.
Ten of the oldest soldiers of the bat
talon were then placed under arrest,
whereupon ninety guardsmen barri.
caded themselves within a room and
declined either to emerge therefrom OF
permit their officers to enter. Finally,
however, the rebellious soldiers allowed
themselves to be persuaded to come out
from behind their barricade. They
were then addressed by the commanding
general, who succeeded in quieting
them.
Truths story Of the revolt has caused
great uneasiness in military circles,
where, it is understood, every effort has
been made to prevent the fact that a
mutiny had occurred among the Cold
streams becoming known.
