HOMESTEAD. Pa. July 14.-In accordance
with bis decision Of last night. Major-Gen
ersl Snowden to-day issued orders looking
to the prevention of further illegal arrests
by special policemen OF the borough and
others. 1t was practically decided by the
General 10 issue orders much more radical
than those of to-day, but on representa-
tions made by friends Of some Of the per-
sons arrested and insulted he changed his
mind and issued an order that places the
town to all intepts and purposes In the
hands Of the military and subordinates the
power Of the borough authorities. Had not
these representations been made TO him the
police force would probably have been sus-
pended in its functions.
THE TOWN STATIONED WITH PIcKETs.
Tho orders give authority 10 the military
IN all matters except breaches Of the peace
snd criminal acts and even in these the
action Of the town authorities is to be super
yised by the State representatives. Acting

ment. assumed the authority of provost
marshal. with his full regiment TO support

gal arrests Of strangers. by Immediately
aud bringing them before the provost

were told 10 make no exceptions In
the case of special Policemen, but 70
take them into custody If they offended.
Pickets in uniform have taken the places OF
the pickets of the workers on the street
corners and at the station. In fact the
whole town is picketed by the provost
guard and Colonel Kreps the provost mar
shall. has been invested with authority little
different from that he would have assumed
under martial law. Under the orders the
lines OF Camp Black have been extended to
include the town.

II IL stated authoritatiyely that no in
formation has been gwen the military
forces AS 10 the coming of non-union men,
and consequently no additional preparations
looking 10 their protection and TO the preyen-

eoT pTppQ MEAN BrrsIyFee
There was a marked change in the bear
ing Of the soldiers on duty in the town to-
day They talked very little with tho
strikers, and wore a serious look that lndi-.
Gated an appreciation of the work ahead OF
them. There was no more Of the playful
ness and skyIarking Of the past two days.
Everything was earnest, and that the men
mean business is plain.
With one regiment inside Of the Carnegie
mills and another on duty in the town. the
military are ready for any emergency that
may ariaa here
