When finally their boats were sink
ing and death for all seemed only the
question Of an hour or so, they ran up
a white rag at the masthead. It was
shot down. They ran it up again, and
it was riddled with bullets a second
time. A third time they ran the rem
nant up, and the army ashore recog-
niZed it as q token of surrender.
srRICTEsT ORDER NOW PREVAILS IN
AND AROUND HOMESTEAD.
p'TTsBURG, July 7.-PinkeTton's de-
tectives from Homestead, arrived in
this city at 2.40 this morning. Twenty
seven of their number were wounded
and were sent to the West Pennsylva-
MIA hospital.
They one and all refused to make
any statement or to be interviewed.
The course of Gov. Pattison in de-
cliuing to order the national guard to
Homestead until Sheriff McCleaIy had
exhausted all the means in his power
to preserve order is generally COM
meuded.
The prevailing opinion here is that
had the militia appeared on the scene
the bloodshed would have been much
greater. The advent of armed and
uniformed men of the State troops to
guard the Carnegie works-.to act as
protectors of non-union men-would
have excited the strikers to all>possible
resistance.
These men at Homestead are so well
organized, are under such perfect con-
troll, and are SO great in numbers that
Il conflict between them and the mill
tia might be long and would certainly
be bloody one.
Under these circumstan" S the gov
ernor's careful survey of the state of
affairs and his conservative action call
for unqualified approval from every
side.
TO BE TRIED FOR MCRDER.
PITTsBURG, PA, July "A visit to
the union station revealed the fact that
the Pinkerton detectives who arrived
in this city at go this morning, will
not be taken from the city, but will be
kept at the Pennsylvania yards under
a strong guard until daylight, when
they will be removed to the county
Jail to await trial for murder.
ALL SILENT AT HOMESTEAD.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 7.-Hom"
stead was strangely silent this morning.
1t is the quiet of sober afterthought.
The leaders are wondering what will
be the next step. The men are bathing
their wounds or making preparations
to bury their dead.
Except for the large crowds of sight
seers the town would be more than
normally still.
The leaders Of the mob propose at
once to have the fence on Calnegie's
property rebuilt and also to repair all
other damage caused by yesterdays
riot. This will be done so as to prevent
any suits of damages from the COM
pany.
The old guards were secured by the
men and placed on duty to again look
after the conpany's interest. There is
much surprise here over the reported
release by the sheriff of the Pinkerton
Guards. When the men agreed not to
kill the guards, it was with the under
standing that the guards should be
placed in jail until indictments for
murder could be sworn out against
them. The report of their relecse ex-
cited much angry discussion at first,
but this was queted when it was re-
membered that if the men appeared as
witnesses they would themselves be
liable to prosecution for riot. Several
of the leaders expressed relief over the
release and believ mo legal complica-
tioa would arise.
The call Of the sheriff for a posse was
received here with good natured deris-
ion. The men are confident that the
sympathy Of the citizens evidently is
so much with them that no good men
would volunteer. They declare that
had the guards not come here there
would have been no violence. AS an
evidence of their sincerity committee
of three went through the works at an
early hour this morning, coiled up the
ropes and hose, took down ell barri-
cades and removed so far as possible all
evidences of the conflict.
KILLED AND WOUNDED.
EOMSTEN1D, July S.-The list of
killed and injured is at last completed.
Four were killed outright by Pinker-
tons bullets, two others died in the
evening, eleven badly injured, six OF
whom may die. Twenty-Five others
slightly injured. Three pinkertons
were killed.
SENT TO NEW YORK.
!ITTsDCRG, Suly Five carloads of
piukertons who came to Pittsburg dur
ing the night were sent to New York
by train on the Pennsylvania railway
this morning.
HOW THE rINkERToN MEN WERE
TREATED.
HoMEsTEAD, July G.-The most
shocking and dastardIy deeds: however,
were committed while the prisoners
were being escorted through the estreets
By an escort of guards appointed by
the strikers. An angry mob lined the
street on both sides. As the men passed
by. each in charge Of two deputies, the
mill men and their friends kicked them
