Special to the APPEAL.
San Francisco, July 10-There are
many conservative men of affairs here
who fear and believe that tomorrow
will develope a desperate conflict be-
tween Federal soldiers and striking
A r Z men and their allies. Sacra.
mento is the threatening point. The
seriousness of the situation is shown
in the warlike preparations that army
authorities have taken. Up to IL
this morning the Federal authorities
had made every move in secret. AT
about that hour the big ferry steamer
Alameda steamed to the Preside and
two troops of cavalry and five batter
les of light artillery were rushed on
board. Gattling guns and two Hotch-
hiss cannon were also in evidence.
Col Graham, .Commandant at the
Preside, was personally in command.
The Alameda steamed directly to
Mare Island.
The publication of President Cleve-
lands proclamation extending the
conditions of martial law to Califor-
MIA, caused intense excitement in
Sacramento, but this afternoon, when
it became positively known that Col
Graham and 800 soldiers we're en-
route to reinforce State troops, the
excitement there became Wild and
ominous. Strikers grew louder in
their threats to resist any further at
tempts of troops to clear the railroad
yards and depot, and their leaders
loudly proclaimed that the Southern
Pacific would not be permitted to
move trains. Nor were their hostile
demonstrations confined to talk only;
armed men soon appeared in the
streets preparing for battle. They
transferred their guns and ammunition
from their store house on street to
their headquarters near the railroad
yards No attempt at concealment
was made. The strikers marched
boldly through the streets, bearing
their weapons on their shoulders.
They were loudly cheered by their
sympathizers.
1t is claimed that the A. r. U.
arsenal holds at least sixteen hundred
rifles and shot guns and quantities of
ammunition. The Alameda with
three hundred soldiers from the Pre-
sidio arrived at Mare Island this
afternoon and took on 800 marines,
Then the Alameda steamed around
the point and the men were transfer
red to two Sacramento River steam
ers which had been laying III wait.
One troop of cavalry landed on each
bank and will march to Sacramento
along the river as advance guards to
guard the boats. Colonel Graham
while at Mare Island received orders
from Washington directing him to
proceed to Sacramento and leaving
the conduct of the whole company to
his discretion. This afternoon crews
from the Charleston, Montery Thetis
Marion and Independence were land
ed at Mare Island. They comprise
about 500 men and will leave for
Oakland tonight In the face of the
general preperat of the strikers
for resistance, the attitude of loco
motive engineers is at tractlne atten-
ton. Representatives of the Broth
erhood waited upon general Superin-
tendent Fillmore at Sacramento this
morning and announced that they
were ready tn return to work at a
moments notice. Fillmore promised
to notify them if he decided to &C
cept their services At all points in
the State save Sacramento and pos
sibly Oakland, events of to-day have
turned in favor of the railroad COM
pany
Sacramento, the 10th Ex-Atty
Gen. Hart, legal adviser of strikers,
has councelled men not to resist the
troops, and there are prospects that
the U S soldiers will meet with no
resistance when they arrive.
Harry Knox, Chairman of the
Meditation Committee, tonight sent
the following dispatch to General
Manager Towne: eve, members of
tn r. u, will man. move and see
safely to til, destination, all trains,
including local, overland mail, pass
