QUIET AT REDLANDS.
Prompt Action of the Governor In
SureS Order,


REDLANDs, Sept. 2.-The precautions
taken by calling out the National Guard
aud swearing in $50 extra police prevented
the expected attempt to drive out the Chi
nese last night. No demonstration was
made by the laborers, and the town Is per-
fectly quiet to-day.
Company G. Ninth Regiment, was on
duty all night, and is still held subject to
call.
Extra police are under orders of Mar
shall Kendall and Sheriff Booth, and will
be called out tonight if necessary.
The means taken to preserve order kept
the agitatOrs from any effort TO carry out
the threats against Cinnamon, and the
movement is thought TO be effectually
checked.
Deputy United States Marshal James
d. Faris in conjunction with citizens, has
procured the names of Chinese here, and
on Monday warrants will be sworn out be-
fore Judge Ross of the United Sta tes Dis
trict Court at Los Angeles for the arrest o.
all Cinnamon here not registered. Promi-
nsnt citizens have guaranteed the pre-
liminary expense of securing the arrests.
SAN BERNARDINo, Sept. 2.-The night
passed quietly and without a demon
stration.
The Waterman Rifles received orders at
6 O'Clock this morning to disband subject
TO orders to reassemple at a moments no.
tice. During the night they stood ready
in the armory with arms and Thousand
rounds of ammunition to respond to the
call OF Sheriff Booth if needed TO suppress
the rioters.
About 10 o'clock last evening the crowds
Of workingmen who had thronged the
streets quietly dispersed. Some of their
men were constantly watching at the
armory for any movement Of the National
Guard, but seeing tie alertness of the
police force and preparations to quell any
disturbance they thongnt best to keep
quiet.
The Chinese were barricaded all night
long in their quarters. armed with guns of
all descriptions. Their sentiuels were
Chinatown.
To-day everything is quiet and further
trouble seems to be for the present averted.
Tonight the streets are quiet and orderly
as usual and no one seems to be specially
interested in the matter. Sheriff Booth
thinks the danger of a riot and bloodshed
has passed and that there will be no
/ further necessity OF calling on the Ma
| tional Guard to preserve order. The
/ demonstration of last night bad health
| full effect on the minds OF the workingmen,
who now generally declare it better TO
await the enforcement Of the Geary act to
remove the Cinnamon. There are few
unemployed men in the city and less trans
lent population than usual at Redlands and
! other parts of the county.
A large number of deputies have been
sworn in who will be called upon If neces-
sary to suppress mob violence, and the
authorities express themselves as compe-
! tent to preserve law and order.
At this hour g p. NJ there is no sign OF
disturbance. WorkIngmen have called a
mass-meeting to be held tomorrow at the
! Pavilion 10 discuss the Chinese question.
An immense crowd will be present.

Chinese excitement here to-day and the in
dications are that there will be none.
