An American Schooner That First Dened
Canadian Laws.
PORT HAwKEsBuRY, Cape Breton, June
1.-THE Canadian cruiser Vigilant recent
ly anchored here and the American fish
ing schooner Lorring B. Haskell Captain
Day. anchored at Hastings. The schoon-
er proceeded to take in water without en-
tering at the custom house. This was
contrary to the customs laws, but Captain
Day refused to comply with the regula-
tious even after receiving notice from the
customs officers. Word was then sent to
the commander of the Vigilant, but Cap
tain Day learned of it and Immediately
prepared for sea, making such hurried
departure that two men who were filling
water barrels were left behind.
The commander of the Vigilant manned
boat, rowed out to the schooner as she
was sailing out of port, and ordered her
to report to the customs Office. This Cap
tain Day refused to do. The Vigilant
then fired shot, but it had no further
effect than to clear the American schoon-
er's deck of all hands except the man at
the wheel. All sail was spread and the
schooner glided out to sea, bidding de-
fiance to the Canadian naval vessel.

FIRED ON DEPUTY sHeRIFFs.

Party of Miners at Cripple Creek Sur
rounded by the Military.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, June ia party
of fifteen deputies, while approaching Bull
Hill on their way from camp to this place,
were fired upon from ambush by twenty
miners. The deputies being unprepared
for an attack retreated without returning
the fire. General Brooks called out
enough militia to surround the miners
and arrested them. No one was injured.
General Brooks says his force may not be
large enough to protect all the mining
property about here. Should this prove
the case he will press into service the depu-
ties now on the ground.
1t got out somehow that Sheriff Bowers
had said that he had lost control of his
deputies, who refused TO obey him. This
getting TO Governor Waites ears he sent
orders to General Brooks TO treat the
deputies as armed marauders, and if the
general had not force enough to call on
the governor who would call out the I'M
organized militia in force sufficient. The
report was false and Bowers so de-
nounced it as soon as it came to his ears,
while Commissioner Boynton, who has
charge of the deputies, wired c. s.
Thomas, of Denver, his attorney, for ad-
wee IL the matter upon being told OF
Waite's move.
Thomas replied: "The sheriff of the
county, engaged in enforcing order, sub
DUNG or attempting to subdue armed re-
sistance to the law or the authorities or
in overcoming those who defy the serv-
Ice of process, is discbarging the obliga-
tons of his office and maintaining civil
government. In doing this he may call
to his aid and deputize as many citizens
as may be necessary and no power, not
even the federal government, has lawful
authority to interfere with or disarm
him"

miners union. who was arrested by the
deputies, has been released, as he was I'm.

The situation mt Pana was simply this:
A large mob of strikers was camped three
miles northwest of Pana, provisioned for
. weeks stay and declaring they would
not leave until. permitted to confer with
the men ut work in the mines The sher-
and the mayor had issued proclamation
calling upon all citizens to keep the peace,
directing the women and children to keep
within doors, and commanding all citi-
Gems over IL to assemble at the city hall to
aid in enforcing the laws. To both calls
the citizens had responded and the town
was an armed camp.
The strikers in town were keeping up
communication with those out Of town
and going out to join them. One gang
that went out took two wagon loads Of
alleged provisions that are believed to
have been arms and ammunition, and

CINCINNATI, June 1l.-Dispatches from

Two men ON guard at a trestle near New
Philadelphia were driven away bv a mob
OF 400 and the trestle burned-this to pre-
vent the hauling of ''scab" coal.
AT Bellaire the strikers held a meeting
aud adopted resolutions in which they
showed the utmost bitterness in denounc-
ing Sheriff Matthew NJ. Scott, of Bel.
mont county, for calling on the governor
for troops, as they put it, to come here
and prevent them from enforcing their
rights where recognition was denied them
by the coal operators. The resolutions
also denounced the governor in the most
violent terms.

seeing the look Of things, left town for
home quickly, and the place was practical
~ in state Of siege. 1t was estimated
that by this morning there would be 1000
strikers in this neighborhood, and that
they proposed to live at the expense of
the city. When the leader of the in
vaders, however. applied to the mayor for
food he was promptly refused.
The Chicago troops reached Pana in due
and quick time, and went into camp at
Sportsmen's park. Meantime another
mob of strikers approached the place and
camped two miles north. Then it was
that the strikers changed tactics and at
tempted to get into Pana by stealth-in
couples and trios. This was headed off as
much as possible, and the arrival of the
troops did not relieve the deputy sheriffs
from duty nor did it prevent the strikers
from committing an outrage right in
Pana, for they drove out man and fam
lily named Shehan from his home in the
northwestern part of the own because he
has persisted in the constitutional right
OF working.
