Leadville, Colo, Sept. 4.-Except
that civil officers for the time being
are allowed to exercise their constitu-
tional prerogative, provided they do
not interfere with General Brooks
movements, military rule is supreme
today in Leadville.
Soldiers will make arrests, disarm all
but officers of the law, hold prisoners
subject to orders of their commanding
officers, and search houses without 9TH
er warrant than an order of General
Brooks.
A military court of inquiry to in
quire into the circumstances of the de-
struction of the Coronado mine and the
loss of life incident thereto, convened
this forenoon, and will endeavor to es-
tablish the identity of the men engaged
in the riot, for the benefit of the civil
authorities. It's sessions will be Sc
cret.
The following officers and members
of the Miners union are in Jail under
strong guard, being held for the muir

of the executive committee, including
President Auburn, are still at large
and search is being made for them.
The charge against Edward Boyce,
president of the Western Federation of
miners, woh was arrested last night,
is 'inciting riot" and is based on a
speech he made here to the miners a
couple of weeks ago.
Secretary Dewar and other officials
of the union in custody declared the
outbreak of violence Monday morning
was contrary to the policy of the union
and is greatly deplored by them. The
arrests caused CONSERVATION among
the strikers and it is believed have
greatly weakened their cause.

P. ]. P. lyman is said to be the moving
spirit, was arraigned at Bow street po-
lice court today.
c. E.. Gill, who appeared for the
Treasury department, said that the
date of September Is had been fixed
upon as the time when they contem-
plated the last step of the conspiracy
would be contaminated. Ivory, Gill
added, left New York on August 10,
reached Southampton August &c, and
proceeded to London, his special duty
being to interview persons considered
likely to be willing to engage in the
crimes proposed. The prosecutor gave
the dates of the different movements
of the men in Great Britain and on the
continent, saying they employed a ci-
pher code in communicating with each
other. Later Gill produced letters sent
by lyman to Ivory and those sent by
Ivory to lyman.
