the strikers and their syrapathizers.
Acting under Instructions rom General
Eheehan, who is in chsrl-e of the militia,
the latter reached the water front early

LANDING OF THE REGULARS.
Whether it was because tshs Alameda
WAS such large vessel, or that it was
feared that an attempt would be made
to prevent the landing of the troops,
the steamer did not reach here until
after daybreak. In order to prevent
any trQ6ble the $50 militiamen who are
camped at Capitol park, were stationed
on JEcket duty about the water front.

marched toward the depot, headed by
Colonel Graham and staff. After them

persed. The strikers had abandoned
the situation, and were nowhere to be
seen.

After the right OF the column of march
had occupied the depot and placed sen
tries aroundit, the cavarly came to halt
and dismounted. Seven sentries were
at once detailed to keep the crowd at q
safe distance from the depot. The gat-
ling guns were placed at the east end OF
the depot near engine 1406, the one that
Marshal Baldwin tried to send out the
other day. The sentries proceeded to
clear space in front of the depot about
130 feet, and the crowd, which was by
no means q large one, fell back prompt
ly before the cleaning bayonets and
business-like air OF the aentries.

together for over an hour. Whel

his officers to drive every one out of tn

with the aid of switch engine to clea
the main track. After this had beef

took charge Of the engine, and MAJ
named Depekamp, q railroad employee
acted as fireman. Sam Reynolds wa
conductor. Acting under instruction
from General Graham, 10 regulars &C
eompanied the train. As the trai
pulled out of the depot an ominou
silence prevailed. The strikers wer
evidently not in q happy mood, and fre
ouently limited that the train would nc
reach San Francisco. Such proved tn
truth.

depot word was received here that it ha

Clark was killed by bullet and severi
regulars perished in the wreck. Late
advices, however, show that not she
was fred. The strikers had unspike
the rails for distance OF about 100 fes
and covered their dastardly work wit
sand. Engineer Clark, notwithstandin
that he was on the slert for such Gov
ardly tactics, plunged into the trap. Th
engine was overturned and several ca
