1t Looks Waril<e.
DAN EfANC!SCO. July IL mere are
many conservative men of affairs here
who fear and believe that to-day will
develop desperate conflict between
federal soldiers and the striking A. K.
e. men and their allies. Sacramento
is the threatening point. The serious
ness of the situation is shown in
War-lille precautions that the
+.1- ~
to II o'clock yesterday morning
the federal authorities had made every
move in secret. At about that hour
the big ferry steamer Alameda steamed
out from the Oakland mole and stcered
directly across the bay to the PrcsidiO
wharf. At 1l:45 the steamer had effect
ed landing. and theve was all the
noise and hustle Of hastv embarl1a-
ton of horse and Infantry. Two
troops of cavalry and five batteries of
light artillery were rushed on board.
Gatling guns and two HotchkiSS
:annons were in evidence. and
Col. Graham. cOmmandant at the Pre-
sidio was personally in command Of
the expedition.
The publication of President Cleve-
lands proclamation extending the con-
ditiOns of martial law to California
caused intense excitement in Sacra
mentO. but yesterday afternoon when
it became positively known that Col.
Graham and his soldiers to the mum Der
of over 300 were already en- route to re-
infOrce the state troops at the state
capital the excitement there became
wild and ominous. The strikers grow
louder in their threats to resist any
further attempt of the troops to clear
the railroad yards and depot. and their
leaders loudly proclaimed that the
Southern Pacific company would not
be permitted to move its trains
Nor were the hostile dem Onstra lions
confined to talk alone. Armed men
soon appeared upon the streets. AS II
in preparation for battle, they trans
ferred their arms and ammunition
from their store house on j street to
their headquarters nearer the railroad
yards. 10 attempt at concealmcnt
was made The strikers marched
boldly through the streets bearing
their weapons on their shoulders, anG
they were loudly cheered by hun
dreds of sympathizers. 1t is claimed
that the A. Il. /. arsenal holds at least
/ 500 rifles and shotruns and quantities
of ammunition. The strikers who
came in on the train seized at Duns-
muir brought in over POO rifles which
they had collected at Dunsmuir, Red
Bluff and SissOns. Another train from
Truckee also brought in guns and am
munition. Yesterday afternoon a
number of strikers were practicing
with their rifles on the Yolo side of the
river.
There are now over 5000 of these
strikers in Sacramento to resist the
federal and state troops. Flushed with
their victory over the United States
marshals on Tuesday last and a com
plete victory over more than LOCO state
militiamen on the following day. they
are in Just the mood to resist the
United States regulars to-day.
