A PEACEFUL OUTLOOK.
The Presence of Troops Awes the
Disorderly Strikers,
THE WAR IN COLORADO ENDED

General Brooks Arrives on the Scene in
Time to Prevent a ConhIot--No Disorder
in ohio-wsst virginia Troops Ordered
Out
CRIPPLE CREEK, June AT noon yes
terdAy General Brooks, at the head of the
state troops, intercepted the deputies on
the east slope Of Carbondale hill and or
dered Sheriff Bowers to send them back
to camp in Beaver park. Only few mo-
ments Of parleying took place, during
which Brooks notified Bowers that unless
he sent his men back to camp he (Brooks)
would take them back. The state troops
made remarkably quick time up the east
side Of Cow mountain, and headed Gen
eral Adams and his company of deputies
Just as they were taking up their position
on the northeast side of Grassy Gulch
preparatory TO opening fire on Bull noun
tain, three-f urths of mile away, in open
view Of the Notifications. The militia
now holds the key to the situation, and
they are camped at the head Of Grassy
Gulch, in full view Of the miners fortih-
cations. A telegram has been sent to the
governor asking for permission to march
on to Bull Hill.
This last experience Of the deputies
with the militia probably ends the strug-
| gle, as General Brooks has absolute con-
troll Of the situation, and his orders are
for the state troops to prevent a meeting
Of the miners and deputies The greater
| portion OF the deputies will probably be
sent home today, as the backbone of the
| strike is broken.
The excellent conduct of the state
| troops, acting upon the polite order OF
General Brooks, has greatly tempered the
snimosity that the deputies and the
| strikers have felt toward each other, and
! the chances for conflict are more remote
than for any time since the forces arrived
| The militia, from its position between the
two armies, has moved so as to prevent
either side making an attack, and they
| have executed their orders in such po
litic manner that they have won the re
| gard of the strikers. Several times the
deputies began an advance, but were cut
| off by the troops. At one time General
Brooks rode down the front of the depu
ties and his bearing and words were Of
such a nature that when he departed thC
men gave him three cheers.
The deputies have at all times been de
sirous of advancing and serving warrants
even if in order to do so 1t should becom,
necessary to engage in pitched battle
The good work of General Brooks is bes
illustrated blythe number of times he hai
prevented a general engagement Tn,
warlike attitude of the miners is so fa
changed that many Of those for whom
warrants have been issued have scattered
in all directions and it is not at all likel,
that Sheriff Bowers will find many of tn
men whom he wants.
This is the situation at the point wher,
General Brooks and the troops are located
At other places the militia is ready to fir
upon either strikers or deputies, as or
dered, and the strikers and deputies ar
still eager for a conflict The strikers thu
disposed are in the minority, but An inad
vertent move on the other side may pre-
cipitate sharp conflict
General Brooks had a conference will
the strikers last night, He has accepteC
their surrender, but did not disarm them
The militia will surround Bull Hill 30 a
to keep back the deputies, Many Of tn
latter have become disgusted and deserted
DENVER, June 9,-Immediately on re
ceiVing information from Cripple Greek 0
the condition Of affairs on Bull Hill Gov
ernor Waite telegraphed an order TO Ad
| JuIdub IeuSldA 4dIohSg iuSbEuSbibS Iii
to accept the surrender of the minerE
He Is not to dissrm them, but to pre-
tect them with all the power at hi
command, to keep the deputy sheriff
out of their headquarters, to make no al
rests and use no force, but let everythin
be done voluntarily. "If the armed deI
uties resist, !" the governor said, 81 vii
! call out the organized militia and suppres
the insurFection."
