LEADvILLE, Col, Sept. 21-Ths
bloody phase of the miners strike has
come. Three men are dead, two others
are dying, and the Coronado shaft house
and four dwellings are burned to the
ground as the result of an attack by the
strikers on the Coronado and Emmett
mines early this morning. Over hun.
dred shots were fired during the des-
perate fight. The members of the at
tacking party gre yet unknown.
LEADv1LLE, Col, Sept. 21--Quiet pre-
walls here and no further rioting is an
ticipated. 1t is generally believed that
the men who fired the Coronado shaft
house this morning, and who attacked
the Emmett mine, but we're there re-
pulsed, have fed to the mountains and
will be seen no more. They are said to
be miners from the Coeure d'Alene
country who were engaged in riots there
several years ago. 1t looks as if the
backbone Of the strike was broken and
that the outbreak of violence this morn
ing is the final demonstration of the
lawless element.
Today hundreds of miners say that
they will go to work at once. They bit
terly derouDce the extremists and say
their actions lost the miners strike.
The arrival OF the militia is anxiously
awaited despite the apparent calm. The
local companies have been sent to the
hills and armed citizens are patrolhne
the streets. The city council today de-
clded to aid the state officers in appre-
heading the rioters. At a mass meet
Ing this afternoon the lawless element
will be denounced and it will be &C.
manded that the troublesome men leave
the camp.

received OF the massacre at Egin Vilsyet
Khaohut, show that on the 10Th and
10th of the present month the Kurds
attacked the Armenian quarters. killed
large numbers of the inhabitants, and
pillaged and burned the houses. Ac-
cording to the accounts OF the Turkish
government 600 Armenisns were killed
at E2in. These sdvices also state out
right that the assaults were provoked
by the Armenlsns firing into Turkish
quarters. No authentic details have been
received. Armeniaps of EgiD escaped
massacre in 1895 by purchasing security
with money and produce. 1t is feared
here that the massacre is the beginning
of fresh series of massacres of Arme-
mans. A special cabinet meeting has
been held at the palace to consider plans
for completing the defenses of the Oar
danelles, as proposed by the Russian
general, Tachibstscheff, who inspected
theee Notifications some time ago, which
was regarded as an understanding be-
tween Turkey and Russia for defensive
purposes.
