BLOOD ON THE PACIFIC.
Predictions That 1t VIII Surely
Flow Today at Sacramento.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.-There are
many conservative men of affairs here
who fear and believe that tomorrow will
develop desperate conflict be-
tween federal soldiers and the strik-
erS. Sacramento is the prominent
point. The seriousness of the situation
Is shown in the warlike precautions
that the army authorities have taken.
UP to II O'Clock this morning the fed
eral authorities had made every move
In secret. Also at that hour the big
steam ferryboat Alameda started out
and steamed directly across the bay
to the Preside wharf. At II: AS the
steamer had effected landing
and there was all the noise and hustle
of hasty embarkation of horses and
Infantry. Two troops OF cavalry and
five batteries of light artillery were
rushed on board. Calling guns and
two Hotchkiss cannons were IN
evidence. and Col. Graham. command
ant at the PresidiO. was personally
in command of the expedition. The
Alameda with her formidable looking
cargo steamed directly toward the
mouth Of the Sacramento river, but So
guarded had the army authorities been
that it was not known until she entered
the river channel whether her destina-
ton was the state capital or Oakland.
1t is not probable that the troops can
be landed at Sacramento
BEFORE MIDNIGHT.
The publication of President Clsve-
lands proclamation caused intense ex.
element in Sacramento. but this after
noon, when 1t becape positively known
that Col. Graham aud his 800 soldiers
were already Ell route to reinforce the
state troops at the state capital, tie
excitement there became wild aud
Ominlous. The strikers grew louder In
their threats to resist any further at
tempt 10 clear the railroad yards. and
their leaders loudly proclaim ed that the
Southern Sol 1'' Pacific would not be permit
ted to move Its trains. Nor were
the hostile demonstrations con-
fined to talk alone Armed
men soon appeared In the streets. AS
If preparing for battle, they transferred
their arms and ammunition from their
storehouse on street TO their headquar-
tiers nearer the railroad yards. No at
tempt at concealment was made.
The strikers marched boldly through
the streets bearing their weapons
on their shoulders, and were loudly
cheered by hundreds of synipathizers.
1t Is claimed that the A. X. U. hall
holds at least 900 rifles and shotguns,
and quantities of ammunition. The
strikers who came In on the train seized
| at Dunsmuir brought In over 200 rifles
which they had collected at Duns-
muir, RedDluff ana Sissons. Another
train from Trucknee also brought in
guns and ammunition. This afternoon
number Of strikers were practicing
with their rifles OH the Yolo side of tho
river. There are now over 5000 of the
strikers in Sacramento to resist the fed
eral and
, Flushed with their victory over the
United States marshals ana police on
Thursday last and an incomplete victory
over more than 1000 state militia on
the following day, they are in just the
right mood to resist the United States
regulars tomorrow.
The steamer Alameda, with 800 SOL
diers from the Preside, arrived at Mare
island this afternoon and took on 800
II,
around the point aud the men
were transferred to two Sacramento
river steamers which had been In wait
lug. One troop of cavalry was landed
OH each bank and will march 10
Sacramento along the river AS all adj
vance guard to the boats. Col. Graham,
while at Mare Island, received orders
from Washington, ordering him to pro-
coed to Sacramento, and leaving the
conduct of the whole campaign to his
discretion. 1t is anticipated that the
strikers will attempt to Interfere with
the progress of troops, but as each boat
carries Calling and Hotchkiss guns. an
attack from the strikers on the river is
not feared and the guard on shore will
prevent offensive operations. There
was some idea OF transporting troops
from Vallejo by train, but as soon as
the strikers at Vallejo heard they were
coming
THEY KILLED
all the engines, ditching aud breaking
the switches, thus locking the track.
This afternoon the crews from the
Charleston, Monterey, Marion, indie
pendence and 1hetis were landed at
Mare Island for riot drill. They COM
prise about 500 men and will leave for
Oakland tonight.
In the face of the general prepare.
tons of the strikers for resistance, the
attitude of the locomotive engineers is
attracting attention. Representatives
of the brotherhood waited upon General
Superintendent Fillmore at Sacramento
this morning, and announced that they
were willing to return to work at
moments notice. Supt. Fillmore
promised to notify them if he decided to
accept their services.
At all points in the state, save Sacra-
mento and, possibly, Oakland, the
road company. At Oakland no trains
were moved. Railroad officials are
anxiously awaiting the appearance of
the marines. In this city and OF
San Jose passenger traffic was re-
sumed today over the coast di-
vision. Railroad official say that
freight trains will be moved
tomorrow. At no point Oh the East
division was violence offered by the
strikers. In Southern California the
blockade is broken. Local trains are
running on both the Santa Fe and
4 Southern Pacific. The Santa Fe dis
patched All Eastern overland yesterday,
and this morning the Southern Pacific
dispatched its New Orleans special
from Los Angeles.
