SAVANNAH, Oct. 8.-Savannah expects
trouble as a result of the great strike,
and has prepared for it by swearing in a
large number of special policemen.
Thursday night large details of armed
men were placed at the several armories
to prevent any attempt that the reck-
less strikers might make to obtain the
arms and ammunition stored there.
There is general feeling of apprehen-
sion and it is feared q disturbance may
occur at any moment.
Several hundred white laborers are to
be brought from New York and other
points to take the place of strikers. The
new men will be protected no matter at
what cost.
Thousands of cartridges have been
distributed among the military, and
police authorities have no fear of not
suppressing any disorder
The financial loss to the city is enor-
nous.

the tragedy reached here Thurs

armed with Winchesters boarded it and
demanded Patterson. The trembling
wretch was carried ashore, and as the

These were met a mile or SO inland and
the crowd took the nine negroes from
their guards, took them to an open spot
in the woods and mercilessly shot them
down. The feeling is intensely bitter

HoT-HEADED CHILL.
United States Cruisers May Have Deal-

United States Cruisers May Have Deal
ings with the Junta.
New YORK, Oct. 3.-Despite the fact
that Washington advices of Wednesday
declared that there was no necessity of
reinforcing Uncle Sans naval repre-
eentation in Chilian waters beyond the
dispatching of the gunboat Yorktown,
the indications are not lacking at the
Brooklyn navy yard that the cruisers
Boston and Atlanta will be sent to Val
paraiso at the earliest possible moment.
The Boston was docked Thursday mora
ing to get coat of paint before leaving
for southern waters. Meanwhile the
department of the general storekeeper is
fairly flooded with acquisitions for q
thousand and one articles of outfit, and
the instructions are that, in case these
are not in store, they shall be purchased
in open market, to avoid the delay con-
sequent upon advertising for bids, draw
ing on contracts, and all the red tape
processes usually involved in securing
naval supplies.
A significant fact in connection with
these requirements is that they come not
alone from the Yorktown and Boston,
which are at the yard, but have been
forwarded for the Atlanta. The officers
of the ordinance department at the
yard have also had their hands full of
business for several days getting ready
the outfit of ammunition for the vessels,
which will include armor piercing pro-
jectiles. Heavy stores which have to
be sent here from Norfork for the Bos-
ton have been sent by express, fact
which indicates the urgency of the case.
When the Atlanta returns to the Brook
lyn navy yard the force of workmen
now on the Boston is to be transferred
to her to push whatever repairs are nec-
essary, day and night, until they are
completed.
1t is fully 5000 miles from here to
Valparaiso by water. Under favorable
conditions the Yorktown can make 200
miles day.
With the Yorktown, the Baltimore,
the San Francieco and probably the Bos-
ton and Atlanta in the immediate vicin-
ity of the principal Chilian ports it would
seem that Uncle Sam will be well repre-
sented. While the condition of affairs
Chill may be materially improved before
the lapse Of the seven or eight weeks
which will be required for the cruisers
to make the voyage from Brooklyn to
Valparaiso, the indications at the pres
ent time do not altogether bear out that
expectation. The new congressional
government, the junta, is in the first
flush of victory, and is playing fast and
loose with its recently acquired power.
There is an element of hot-headedness
which is liable to break out at any time
and precipitate q condition of affairs de-
cidedly inimical to the interests of
Americans in the republic. The reports
of continuous rioting in China may
make it necessary to send some of the
cruisers there. Perhaps this explains
unusual activity in navy circles, and the
vessels are not intended for Chill.
Probable Cause of the Trouble.
