CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, June All day
rumors of conflicts between deputies and
strikers have been current, but In no in
stance have they been confirmed. One en-
gagement was reported to have occurred
at 9:30 o'clock this morning in which one
or two were killed on each side Another
engagement is reported to have occurred
at 1880 tonight, but. like the report of the
morning, it lacks authentic confirmation.
The first detachment of the militia ar
river at Beaver Park, the scene of trouble
this morning. The State troops immedi-
ately marched through the line of deputies
to point between the contending forces
from which place they will prevent either
deputies or strikers from making an ad-
vance. The work of disarmament has not
yet begun. nor will the work begin until
more State troops are on the ground,
which will probably be tonight
In the meantime the deputies are
anxious to advance upon the strikers, and
the strikers are ready to receive them,
few hot-heaGed ones being anxious to
open the fight.
A small party Of deputies under Captain
Adams rode into Cripple Creek to-day and
were received with open hostility by the
citizans. Great excitement prevailed, but
a conflict was averted.
Captain Locke, with 1000 deputies, has
advanced beyond Gillette and has cut
down all telegraphic communication so as
not to receive restraining orders from
Adjutant-General Tarsney and 10 prevent
press dispatches from going out.
The latest report is that in the supposed
conflict of this morning one miner was
killed and two deputies slightly wounded.
The warfare continued throughout the day
and was carried on in guerrilla fashion

STORY OF GREAT BRUTALITY.
How Deputies Treated Prisoners at
Cripple Creek.


DENVER, June John Shorten, editor
of the Cripple Creek Herald, published in
the interest of miners, who were arrested
by the deputies several days ago, arrived
here to-day on parole. He tells a sensa-
tional story of the treatment he and others
received at the hands of the deputies.
Fifteen or twenty of U.S." said Shorten,
"were put in schoolhouse for the night
without any blankets or beds. Some of
the men were beaten and not allowed to
speak to each other or have any writing
material.
In the morning Under Sheriff Mullins
order was to watch the prisoners, and if
any refused TO do what they are told to
shoot their - heads off,
I'VE marched in single file and we're
given some rolls or crackers and whatever
coffee was left in an old bucket, and then
at the point of muskets were forced to
pack water and food for the big camp.

man named Sullivan. who got a telegram
at Cripple Creek telling him that his wife
was dying and asking him to go to Lead

and when we were captured Sullivan
showed it to the deputies, but they re-

Flight of the San Salvador Fugitive
to Our Warship.


WASHINGTON, June Tt is learned the
fugitive Vice-Presdent of San Salvador
has been afforded an asylum on the Ben
nington. In this case, though acting from
the best of motives, for the fugitive doubt
less would have been executed if caught,
Captain Thomas may have willingly in-
volved the United States in another inter
national complication. It is hoped no
complaint will be made by the victorious
Salvadorean party. which dou btless will
be engrossed for some time with the erec-
tion of new Government; but If it does
complain the State Department will be
put to some straits to devise consistent
and satisfactory reply.
New YORK, June 8.-The Herald's La
Libertad dispatch says: The revolution
is practically finished ana all is quiet at
La Libertad. The American sailors from
the Bennington. who did so much to pro-
tect the helpless during the change of
masters yesterday, are embarked. leaving
only a few marines behind to guard the
consulate and the cable station. General
Antonio EZeta, vice-presdent of the re-
public, wrong reports of whose death have
been freely circulated and have been be-
lleyed By many in La Llbertad, has ap-
peared here again at the head of small
force of soldiers still loyal to him. The
party compri ses seventeen in all, and as
they were eing followed by an over
whelming force of victorious rebels, they
quickly put out from the shore in lighters
to the Bennington. where they asked for
refuge from their pursuers. Captain
| Thomas was In some doubt at first what
he should do in the matter. but when a
party of General Guiterrez's men were
seen coming out to attack the fugitives, he
decided to take them aboard.

BOMBARDED BY HAIL.
Fatalities in a Furious Storm in
Austria.
In Vienna Windows Were Wrecked
and Many of the People
Injured.

VIENNA. June THE worst hailstorm
that ever visited this city commenced st
o'clock this morning. Dense copper
colored clouds rose with alarming rapid
ity. The wind drove the dust in columns
to the height of four-story houses. Then
the hail began to fall and covered the city
in short time to the depth of from to s
inches.
In less than fifteen minutes the city
looked as if it had been bOmbarded, 1t is
estimated that 100000 windows were
broken. Five hundred panes of glass
were broken in the Ministry of Commerce
building alone, and 600 in the palace.
In the upper floors of the Emperor's
wing of the palace hardly pane remains
unbroken. The hailstones averaged the
size of hazel nuts and descended in the
streets with tremendous force.
Three deaths are reported due TO falling
stones. Horses were frightened and ran
away, causing many accidents.
Serious damage was done ia field out
side of Vienna. where a detachment of
artillery with twelve guns was overtaken.
The horses bolted with fright In all direc-
tions and thirty soldiers were thrown help
less upon the ground. Several of them
were run over, one was killed and three
officers were severely injured. The beauti-
ful gardens of the city are ruined. and tele-
phone poles are blown down, and the
wires are stretched on the ground like
huge cobwebs. causing deaths to thousands
of birds. 1t is feared that great damage
has been done to crops.
Reports from Pressburg show that place
was also visited by disastrous hailstorm
and the vineyards were almost ruined.
Violent storms have occurred during the
week at dIfferent points aud immense dam
age is reported to have been done.

DEBATES ON THE TARIFF.
After Much WrangIing the Oatmeal
Schedule Is Adopted.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-After finishing
the talk on the claim against the Stanford
estate the Senate took up the tariff bill.
Carey completed his speech on the bill at
o'clock.
Harris. pursuant TO an agreement
reached after consultation with some of
the Republican leaders, sprang a surprise
on many of the Senators in the shape of
proposition to proceed with schedules &c"

other beverages. "r' (cottons) aud 81"
flax, hemp and jute), under the five-minute
rule. This would have carried the Senate
to schedule 'K" (wool and woolens) under
fast marching orders.
1t seemed at first as if there would be no
objection. MIR. Harris stated that after
consultation on both sides of the Senate
ne INDUCED in the hope that this agree
ment would be reached. If it was, he
said, it will put an end to controversy
about night sessions.
While the matter was being Informally
discussed Quay sauntered into the cham
ber. He asked what 1t all meant. On
being told IL was request for unanimous
consent to limit debate he said, II object"
Having thus abruptly smashed the pro-
posed truce he walked out into the marble
room.
The Senate then proceeded with debate
on the bill. Allison. Sherman, McLaurin,
Manderson, Vest, Allen and Teller par
ticipated. The Nebraska Senator became
involved ia discussion with Teller on the
cause of the low price of wheat. Teller
said hotly that he was at a loss TO locate
the Nebraska Senator politically after his
remarks and hts recent votes. He did not
know what he belonged to-the POpulistic
or the Democratic party.
II voted with you on the last vote on the
sugar schedule" said Allen.
Il beg :he Senator's pardon" replied
Teller" you voted for and | voted
against the sugar schedule"
81 voted against the discrimination In
favor of the sugar trust"
But you voted for the schedule"
81 voted for il because the party to
which you belong bankrupted the treas
ury. and we could not lose the revenue in
that schedule"
The discussion was continued until 30
p. NJ, when a vote was had on the Finance
Committee amendment. fixing the rate on
oatmeal at 15 per cent, and excluding it
from the reciprocity provision OF the para
graphs. Ii was adopted.
Then o'clock, with a sarcastic aIn-
sion TO the rapid progress made to-day.
Mr.. harris moved the Senate 90 into exec
utive sess on, and after brief period the
Senate adjourned.

There is no sincerity In the common
vail Of the worst partisans IN the Senate,
like Hoar aud Chandler, and elsewhere
like Davenport, who weep over the
alleged Acknowledgement of the negro.
10 is universally admitted, by honest
intelligent and candid men Of all parties
that the enfrsuehisement Of the freed
men was a mistake. Freedman suffrage
has grown, by bad gradations Of progress,
from nuisance TO an evil, from an evil
to a calamity from a calamity to a source
OF rancor and bloodshed, from bloodshed
to constitutional amendments practically
ebolishing negro, or illiterate, suffrage
The latter has occurred where the
negroes were most numerous and where
the consequences were the most dread
ful, the most costly and the most bloody
In other states. as In Delaware, where
the evils have not been so great, the
white people have been compelled In
self.defence against the combined efforts
Of Pennsylvania oarpet-baggers, their
white allies and pegro purchasables, to
make laws for the protection Of the bal.
lot box
Without any excuse any attempt at
explanation or Justification the Repub
lican party puts itself behind phalanx
Of negro ignorance and venality to de.
mand that the voters Of that class shall
be allowed TO vote by inherent right, q
vague and supernatural privilege su.
perior, as they claim, to the laws Of the
state.
The respectable and candid, the intelli
gent and patriotic members Of the Re.
publican party admit that none but in
telligent and honest nek roes should be
allowed TO vote; that others degrade the
privilege Of the ballot and decrease it's
price In blood as in money. But even these
men tacitly submit to the industry Of the
base men of their party, in paying for
and controlling the negro vote. The
necessities Of the party are so great, that,
though ashamed of the alliance, respect
able and honorable men submit to the
public disgrace and debauchery Of the
negro contingent, which they admit and
condemn in private, because it per
petuates the political existence Of their
party.
The party of Lincoln, Sumner, Grant,
Chase and Greeley is compelled to buy
the negro vote Of Delaware, in order to
make a decent showing at the polls.
This is the reason why the managers
lament the repeal Of the Federal Election
laws Those laws furnished money and
means for obtaining the negro vote at
less cost.
