The officials of the road have called on

Powder Lowered Down the Shaft of a
Colorado Mine-Governor May De-
clare Martial Law-Big Force of DO
puties Collecting.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo. May 90
Eleven men dead, with a report OF
other fatalities, marks the first day OF
active hostilities here, though pitched
battle has not yet taken place. AT 10
o'clock yesterday morning eleven men
started to work in the Strong mine on
Battle Mountain. Shortly afterward
large party of strikers blew up the
shafthouse with powder, causing loss
of S95, 200. and then dropped 100 pounds
of giant powder down the shaft, which
was also exploded, killing all the in
mates The deputies have withdrawn
from the field. Denver will send an
other trainload OF hired fighters at IL
o'clock to-day Colorado Springs will
add many and Leadville will contribute
800 These forces with those already
in the field will aggregate l, 100 men,
who are selected for courage. With
twelve pound rified cam IN at their
head they will renew the assault by
noon, without. however, much pros
pect of dislodging the strikers who
are terribly effective in the use of
giant powder and dynamite. Gov.
Waite is considering the expediency
OF calling out the entire militia, in
fantry, artillery and cavalry, to cap
ture the mercenaries imported from
outside Ell Paso county, as the law ex-
pressly forbids such action. He favors
martial law.
When the Deputies are finally massed
and the two forces come together a
most desperate battle will be doubt
less fought. Not few believe that
the town will be smoldering mass by
another sunset if the strikers be not
restrained.
1t is said the strikers have planted
under their breastworks on Bull Hill
a quantity of dynamite with the in
tention of blowing it up if it should
be taken and occupied by the deputies
The strikers from their position on
Bull Hill can view the country for
miles and all passes are guarded by
them. No one is permitted near
enough to the seat of war to be in dan
ger, and the streets of Cripple Creek
and Victor, as we'll as the passes, are
patrolled by miners carrying rifles and
revolvers All telephone wires are
down and it is thought the telegraph
wires will GO soon. Deputies have
been coming in quietly and it is
thought an unexpected move is antici-
pated. The Denver deputies have
taken less exposed position and
await helm
