SAN FRANCISCO, July 12.-Since yes.
terday's horrible work at the trestle
west of Sacramento. the strike situation
i'll California has been less alarming.
In Oakland there has been rioting of a
more or less serious nature since early
this morning. The trouble began at
dayDreak, when mob of several nun
dred strikers rushed into the yards on
the mole. They killed all the locomo-
tlves that had been fired up, and, in
order to further blockade the tracks,
derailed one locomotive and long line
of coaches. Later in the morning an
other crowd of strikers ran to the yards
and wrecked turntable by showing a
heavy freight car into the pit. Damage
was also done at the roundhouse. The
railroad company's deputy sheriffs and
deputy United States marshals Of
fered very little resistance to the riot
ers. Trouble on the mole came to an
end this evening, however. when force
of $50 United States marines
from Mare Island were landed there bv
the ferry steamer Alameda, which
transported them from the navy yard.
This force of marines is under command
of Lieutenant Commander William II.
Reeder, executive officer of the
CRUISER CHARLESTON.
and Is drawn from the crews Of the
Charleston, Monterey. Thetis and Inde-
pendence. Their equipment includes
five Gatling guns and severar Hotchkiss
cannon. The marines are to act under
the direction of Gen. Ruger, and will be
supported bv company of artillery
from the Preside. Tomorrow, under
the shelter of those fighting bluejack-
cts. the railroad officials hope to resume
traffic in and out OF Oakland.
At Sacramento the conditions of mar
tial law prevail. No trains are running
there, however, and General Superin-
tendent Fillmore said this evening that
no more regular trains would be rnn be-
fore Saturday, by which time he hopes
to have repaired the trestle. At late
hour this afternoon the wreckers had
not recovered the bodies of Engineer
Clark and three soldiers who lie in the
water beneath the wreck. The people
of Sacra nento are practically living
under military government. Col.
Graham threw Gordon of
troops around the depot, and
citizens are not allowed through the
lines. Along the railroad in the yicin-
ity OF yesterdays disaster cavalrymen
and squads of infantry are securing the
underbrush. Several suspicious char.
acters found in hiding there have been
arrested and put in military guard
house at Sacramento. This morning it
was reported that strikers were
PREP AIRING TO DEMoLIsH
the railroad bridge across the American
river. A train bearing fifty regulars
was hastily dispatched. To avoid a dis
aster like yesterdays two freight cars
We're pushed ahead of the locomotive.
At O'Clock this afternoon the regulars
returned with two prisoners. The men
had been found on that bridge. Though
they were not strikers, they have been
thrown into the guardhouse. Duling
the day several citizens were arrested
and thrown into the guardhouse. One
was striker who grossly insulted
soldier on picket duty. Another was
striker who forced his way through the
picket lines. Other citizens were ar
rested for trivial offenseS against the
military law as laid down by the federal
and state commanders. The militiamen
on guard at the water front had several
skirmishes with civilians.
Spurred Oh by the heavy rewards of
fered for the apprehension of the men
responsible for Yesterdays disaster at
the treStle, tine peace fficers at Sacra-
mento are unusually active. The rail-
road company has offered q reward of
5000. Attorney General Oney has
offered $4,000, and Gov. Markham said
$500.
The sheriff's men are confident that
they have evidence TO convict one of
the men now in custody, striker
named Worden. A boy has been found
who drove Wordeu and several men to
the bridge where the train was wrecked.
The boy declares that these men carried
wrenches and crowbar, and that they
were heavily armed. lie says that when
the men left his wagon, before
walking to the trestle they shut him III
a car on a side track and warned him to
stay there until they returned. 1t was
not until the lad returned to the scene
after tue wreck that he realized what
had been done. He positively identified
Worden. Other arrests will be made.
Trains are running regularly out of
San Francisco on the Coast division. In
Southern California the blockade is
broken, though very few trains are
running there wi thout military guards.
