GAMBlA'S OLD KING



LONDON, April 93.-Advces received
here from Bathurst, the capital of Gam
bia, the British West African colony,
seem to show that Great Britain has
another little war upon her hands.
The native King Of Gambia, it appears,
has for some time past been in someA
what disturbed condition of mind and
has been, consequently, committing or
allowing to be committed a number of
depredations and abuses, from which the
British colonists were the sufferers.
The British administrator, or governor
of Gambia, Mr.. Gilbert Thomas Carter,
9. M. g.. put up with the kings con
duct as long as possible, and finally the
administrator sent an envoy in the per-
son of a prominent English official up
the Gambia river to the town which the
native king makes his headquarters.
This envoy was charged with the mis-
sion of informing the King of Gambia
that he must behave himself and see
that his subjects behaved themselves in
future or else he might expect visit of
a disciplinary nature from the marine
forces of the Queen of England.
The envoy faithfully carried out his
OfuefS ana cOnlnunlcaJeQ tne adInlnl-
strator's views to the king. The latter
however, does not seem to have been at
all alarmed by the administrators
threats, for he ordered the English envoy
to be seized and bound, which was
promptly done, The king then gave in
structions to the effect that the unfor-
tunate envoy was to be sent back to
Bathurst in a manner which would be a
warning to all other English ENJOYS who
might venture up the Gambia river.
Thereupon by the kings directions,
portions Of the envoy's checks and por-
tions of his thighs were cut ont by the
kings bodyguard, and later on the envoy
and the pieces Of flesh cut from his body
We're sent back to the administrator at
Bathurst, With the envoy and the
pieces of flesh the king sent Mr.. Garter
the following terse message:
This is the kings answer
The British administrator has taken |
prompt steps to send the king suitable
reply.
Three British gunboats have already |
ascended the Gambia river to avenge |
the outrage upon the envoy.

know him; he is a horse-thief and ex-
convict who has just come cut here from
Maryland and has not yet lost his

was received from Scottdale Tuesday

Tonight the strikers are gathering

the operators; they are face to face with
two hated and feared institutions-the
Pinkerton detective forces and an inva-
sion of imported labor. About 800 Pink
erton detectives will be brought into the
region tonight and distributed around
the different works where the most
strenuous efforts are being made to re-
sumo. There are said to be eight car
loads of them, and as the news of their
coming precedes them throughout the
region there is constantly increasing ex-
citement.

the desire that they could wipe them Oft

only means further trouble, which viii

which they are held. A batch Of i50
Pinkertons arrived here to-day, and all
were placed on duty at Leisinring,

be made to start in the morning against

armed with Springfield rifles, and are a
determined set Of men. There were no

utics prefel1ing to wait until their safety
is assured.
Preparing for a Long Fight.
A meeting of the executive board of
the Mine Workers was held here this
evening and preparations in a financial
and other ways made to prolong the
fight. james Mcbride, of the miners
board, says there is no doubt that they
can stand a fight Of several months yet
and their finances are all right, and that
more money is coming III. There are

ton of Italians means the beginning of
the wholesale importation Of foreign
labor that has been threatened for long
time by the operators. This will make
the situation at once more interesting
