DENVER, Col, July 2-All the Wcs-
tern Union wires at Trinidad were cut
last night by strikers. Reports by
postal wires say that matters are
extremely exciting, 200 striking
coal miners adding to the tumult A
great amount Of property has been
damaged. Federal troops will arrive
in Trinidad about l o'clock. Five
companies seventh regiment infantry
left Fort Logan at 3 O'Clock this morn
ing for Trinidad in command of Col.
Ward and Lieutenant Rallci. General
Cook who was passing the day with
Governor and General Hastings of
PENNSYLVANIA in Manitou returned at
midnight for conference with Marshal
Israel. No fighting will occur, but the
presence of troops is deemed cccssary
to prevent rioting.
The sentiment of the railway employ
ccs at Trinidad has always been to
disregard court orders. and in disarming
United States marshals yesterday they
failed to observe the difference between
sheriffs' deputies and those acting under
orders of the United States court.
