DENVER. May ia desperate fight
took place in the city park today between
F. N. DAVIS ami Ed Gavis (whitej and
FIVE co!ored employees on one side and
fifty or more strikers on the other. Two
men we're fatally shot aud twelve wound
ed, more or less seriously. The fight was
the outErowth of the brickmakers' strike
at Davis yards.
This morning Davis & Son, the proprie-
tors, with eight negroes with loaded guns,
started for the yards with the avowed in
tentlou of beginning work or dying in the
attempt. AS they were nearing the yards
a party OF strikers, headed BY Frank Sur
Der, appeared and asked that they be al
lowed to talk to the men who were going
to work.
Davis replied that the men did not
want to talk, and ordered the strikers to
allow his men to pass. This the strikers
would not do, aud Davis and his son and
five Of the men opened fire on the strik-
ers. Thomas Kelly was wounded and
died two hours after.
The most seriously injured is John
Ridenhour. The shooters were jailed.
F. N. Davis said: II shot to kill, and |
don't deny it. | told Surber the men
did not want to talk and ordered them
out of the way"

they have all been repapered and the
floors are covered with a neat but not

WASHINGTON. MAY li.-Secretary
Tracy this afternoon sent u word that he
had nothing to say about the CHILEAN
vessel Itata or the Charleston. Otter
officials in the naval department are
equally r]eticent. The. official mind Of
the department is evidently in dread that
a possible unguarded admission to a re-
porter might result in the disclosure of
the campaign in which the entire availa,
bic navy force in the Pacific IS arfayed
against one steamer whose warlike char.
acter has not yet been demonstrated
Certainly the government appears TO he
making extraordinary efforts to rccapture
the ltata. la addition to cabling Admir-
ais Brown and Mccain to head off the
runaway before she reaches CHILEAN ports,
it is understood that instructions have
been sent to United States consular Off
GERS at all points between California and
Chill where the Itata could reach to
promptly advise the naval officers of her
movements il she is sighted.
T. In strange contrast to this exhibition of
zeal is the course ofthe Charleston which
is in chase Of the runaway. This vessel
sailed from San Francisco early Saturday
morning bound south. She is an eighteen
knot vessel and last night should have
been $50 miles down the coast, or near
Cape San Lucas, where the Chilian
insurgent warship Esmeralda is supposed
to be lying in wait for the ltata, but
instead of covering this distance the
Charleston got about half way and then
went to anchor over night.
Later advices show that she was last
seen just above the Mexican boundary
line. Such officers as have an opinion tina,
they feel free to express say the Charles,
toms movements can be explained in two
ways, either the department believes the
Itsta is lying somewhere off the coast o.
California Or it has no intention of Selling
the vessel unless her presence is made un.
pleasantly noticeable within reach.
The motive for such an attitude by the
government as indicated in the last theory
is, in brief, that it might not be gooc
diplomacy for the United States to go toe
far in the direction of hostility toward.
the CHILEAN insurgents. The duties de
volving pon a friendly government il
cases such as this have never been final,
and clearly enunciated by the authorize
