SAN FRANCISCO, July I2--For over thirty
ak hours United States regulars have been ON
the neld In northern California. but blockade
has not been broken. In fact, the situation

been at any time heretofore. Human
life has been sacrificed at Sacramento
in horror which the strikers are 40
cused OF having perpetrated. All OF the VIC
tins but one we're soldiers. II Is clear that
the strikers realize the folly OF openly resist
Ing the United States army. as they have re-
sisted all marshals and state troops, and that
the more barbarOus and deadly tactics OF guer-
rila warfare are TO be resorted TO-

II would fall through as soon a heavy weight
passed upon the rail. Several arrests have
been made. onicers have found the tools
which were hidden with which the rails were
removed from the ties and know who hid them.
Twice during the day the troops we're am
pushed. The first attack from under cover was

ham landed at Sacramento with force OF over
600 regulars. No enort was made 10 resist the
troops progress. They marched direct TO tho
Southern Pacinc depot and took possession OF
the buildings and railroad yards. A few hum
bred people gathered az the depot. but dis
porsed when ordered TO do so. Al the wharyes
detachment OF state militia had been left to
guard the water front.
The regular troops were no sooner out OF
sight than this little band OF militia was fred
upon with rides by force % some twenty-five
men who were concealed In the bushes on the
opposite side OF the river. Tho militiamen re-
turned the IRE. and about 200 shots we're ex-
changed across the river before the attacking
party fed. Japanese boy who stood on
the river bank was killed by bullet from the
militia. None OF the attacking party
rested Under cover OF the United states

ident Cleveland has established a new prece-
dent IA sending federal troops into a state
without request OF the governor OF that
state and over his protest. said Tuesday;
IL have neither said what am quoted as
saying as 10 the use OF the United states
troops by the president nor do think that
the president has transcribed his power.
| ON the other hand believe that there Is no
| spot In the United States where the United
States troops may not go under such
orders without asking anybodys consent
and that the enforcement OF the laws OF
the United States is the sworn duty OF the
president and the army an appropriate instru-
ment TO use in the enforcement OF those laws
where they are violently resisted and the civil
oficers are unable 70 deal with the situation.
| II the posse-comltatus law limits the pres-
dents constitutional powers at all-which is
very doubtful-it only requires the proclama-
tion 20 precede the use OF the troops.
