Gen. Snowden Says That Unlawful Arrests
at Homestead Must Cease.
HOMESTEAD, July Awhile martial law has
not been officially declared in Homestead, it
has occurred After the various unauthorized
arrests made by the special policemen
yesterday Gen. Snowden made q strict
investigation into the circumstances and
it Is said that he had determined to take
rigorous measures this morning. even to the
length of declaring martial law. Upon the re-
quest of a committee representing practically
all the correspondents in Homestead, who were
unwilling that martial law should follow the
assault upon one OF their number, it is under
stood that Gen. Snowden decided to defer for
the present formal proccedin9s.
But the informal work was quite as effective.
The fifteenth regiment was early drafted down
marshal's tent, fronting on sth avenue. Two
companies Of about ninety men were then sent
into the city under the command Of Mai
Crawford, and squads were placed in front Of
the advisory committee rooms at the railroad
station, and at about eight other places about
in the habit Of congregating. Their orders
were explicit. In the case Of any
arrest made by the sp< cial police for q manifest
breach Of the peace, drunkenness or any other
like offense the provost patrol win not inter
fere, but In any arrest not for such cause the

their rifles and with twenty rounds of ball
cartridge each and an officer Il with every squad
Gen. .snowden was seen very shortly after
the new order Of things went into effect. He
said: There has been no change whatever in
the position, save that the provost patrols have
been somewhat increased IN strength, and the
preservation Of peace can now somewhat
more certainly be assured Yes. the patrols
Will prevent any further Illegal arrests. They
win cooperate with the civil authorities to that
end. but further than that nothing viii be

Gen. Snowden is still investigating one arrest
made by the specials yesterday and the chances
are that the policemen in each case win be
brought before the provost marshal and made
10 explain their conduct.
Col. Green, the provost marshal, had lately
to add to what Gen. Snowden had said. The
town is most distinctly not under martial law"
he said, but there has been 20 much dsmorai-
