of Sacramento the strike situation IN
California has been less alarming. In
Oakland there has been rioting of more
Or less serious nature since early this
morning. The trouble began at day
break, when a mob of several hundred
strikers rushed into the yards on the
mole. They killed all the locomotives
that had been fired up, and in order to
further block the tracks derailed one
locomotive and a long line of coaches.
Later in the morning another crowd OF
strikers ran to the yards and wrecked a
turn-table by showing a heavy freight
car into the pit. Damage was also done
at the roundhouse. The railroad COM
pany's Deputy Sheriffs and Deputy
United States Marshals offered very lit
tie resistance to the riotous strikers.
The trouble on the mole came to an
end this evening. when a force of $50
United States marines from Mare Island
were landed there by the ferry steamer
Alameda, which transported them from
the Navy-yard. This force of marines
is under command of Lieutenant- Com
mander William III. Reeder, executive
officer of the cruiser Charleston, and ls
Monterey, Thetis and independence.
Their equipment includes five Gatling
guns and several Hotchkiss cannon. The
marines are TO act under the direction OF
General Ruger and will be supported by
company of artillery from the Presidio.
Tomorrow, under the shelter of those
fighting blue jackets, the railroad COM
pany hopes to resume traffic IN and out
OF Sacramento.

In Southern California the blockade is
broken, though very few trains are run
there without military guard.
Charles Hall, one of the most promi-
nent leaders of the strike, was arrested
tonight at West Oakland during the
fight with the police. He was charged
with melting to riot and was refused bail.
The mob lost heart after this and the
work of clearing the track and yard OF
distractions was continued without in
terruption.
The Southern Pacific raised the block
ade at West Oakland tonight without
the aid of the sailors from Mare Island,
who remained on the mole and took no
part in the proceedings. The main track
and yards are now clear Of all obstruc-
tions and tomorrow trains guarded by
troops will be run out.
Batteries A, G and f, Fifth Regiment,

were given one days rations and are
camped tonight in the Piedmont base

The Call says that at a secret meeting
of engineers held in Oakland to-day the
engineers resolved not to take out any
engine until the present strike troubles
are settled. 1t is believed that others
will also adopt the resolution.
