SEVERAL BADLY INJURED.
Dehcacies Intended for the National Stock = Growers Seized and
 Trarnpled Under Foot.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

DENVER, Jan. 27-The National Stock Growers Convention eliminated in a wild scene at the Union Stock Yards this afternoon, where a barbecue was given. Arrangements had been made for feeding from 10000 to 15,000 people. The viands prepared included ten steers, two bears, two buffolaes, four elk, seven antelopes, seven noun tain sheep and 200 'possums. With this was served 4000 loaves of bread. 200 gall Ions of coffee and 400 kegs of beer.
 Between 10000 and 3O.OOO people at tended, the crush being tremendous. The crowd lined the tables thirty to forty deep. Chief of Police Farley and forty-five policemen. together with a detachment of the Denver City Troop were wholly unable to preserve order The crowd charged the bread tables and carving boards. The police and military were pelted with bread and the chief use of meat was to club neigh bors on the head. Within less than fifteen minutes there was an end of the barbecue, and not one-tenth of those present got a bite.
 Trooper Victor Goethe was overcome in the rush and seriously injured. Bread, meat of all kinds, buffalo, bear, mountain sheep, elk, antelope, were scattered all about, and coffee literally drenched the ground. Tables, fences and all other destructible property the mob could lay hands on were torn down and ruined.
 Women were borne away fainting and men were clubbed, but the mob could not be swayed. Scarcely one person in hundred got within a block of the roasting pits, which had been arranged to entertain the guests throughout the afternoon and well into the night
 At o'clock tonight an unknown man was brought in from the scene of the riot, fatally injured. He expired soon after reaching the police station. He had been struck on the back of the head by some one in fight, and never recovered from the blow. A number of others are reported injured, but none fatally.

people Of St. Helena are not likely to lynch this man. If they were tempted by the chance of his staying here over night, which the Sheriff would not per- init, and if anything should occur dur Ing the examination to rouse a sus plc1on in the minds of these peoDle that Clark might escape, the case will be altered
 There was not the smallest demon. stration as the double-seated team con- talnlng Clark, the Sheriff and his depu- lles droVe up the main street of St. Helena. The crowd was strung out along the sidewalk, watching curious Iy for the advent of the murderer. The train on its way from Napa to St. Helena halted at Rutherford, and there the Sheriff and his party passed along the road. Every head was turned to see Clark, pitiably inadequate cen tral figure for interest so intense. He sat huddled up on the back seat with the Sheriff's protecting arms about him. Sheriff Mckenzie brought Clark through narrow alley, a back en- trance of the hall. He came into the crowded hall, his dark eyes rowing about as if to gauge the degree of hos t1l1ty in the mass of eager faces.
 Clark looked i'll. His face was saI- low, there were circles under his dull. protruding eyes, and the line that marked the jaw was heavy. He sat in court with his heavy blue overcoat but toned up to the chin. That overcoat, by the way, was the one given to George Clark by Dr. Osborn, which will be identified by Peter Yorke as the coat worn by the man who fled in the early morning along the streets from Will liam Clark's house on January 20.
 He never looked at Mrs Clark, who sat beside him, giving her horrible tes- timony; he was nervelessly still, gaz- ing Stupidly in front of him. moisten- ing his lips at times, slowly twirling his thumbs. But there was not per- son in the crowded, close courtroom who sat so quietly
 Sheriff Mckenzie had made arrange ments to have the warrant on which George Clark was arrested sent by mail to St. Helena. When court con- vened no warrant for Clark's arrest was in St. Helena The murderer walked with lamb-like meekness out of the back door into the anteroorn. and standing there blinking in the sunlight submitted again to arrest. Again the court preliminaries began to unwind their tedious course, when it was dis covered that the Justices name was not

Bitter Fight Begins n the Justices Court at Sf. Helena for the Life Of the
 FrdtTci6e

ST. HELENA, Jan. 27-Every man in St Helena and for miles around was at the preliminary examination of Clark this morning. The little town hall, which conveniently holds about fifty, was packed with people, who pressed up against the railing which divides the little space just large enough to hold five tables, at which sat Justice Chinn, District Attorney Theo- dore Bell. Attorneys Hogan and Beer stecher for the defense, and the re- porters whom this remarkable case have drawn to pretty, excited little St. Helena.
 The crowd was massed in the back part of the hall, and mounted In hast fly constructed pyramids toward the door. There were boyish faces within two feet of the wooden ceiling. The en- trance to the hall was blocked; on either side, at the open windows. were groups of laborers and farmers who stood patiently straining to catch a word now and then. When Deputy Rednall went to close a window so that the fresh. cool air might not blow in draft from one open window to the

 Why, even on the roofs of the houses near. on a sort of gangway on the north side, men climbed and crouched and spoke in whispers. It was a mat ter difficult for the officers of the court even to make their way through the mob. It was a good natured mob. though, but with determination enough in the faces to make one sure that, if there were any chance of George Clark evading justice. they would re- sort to extreme measures. So far as one can measure that evasive thing, public opinion, the chances are the

Hong Kong last Tuesday for Manila,
for the purpose of engaging the span
ish feet and establishing base OF sup
plies. Had he been unsuccessful Com
odore Dewey would have had to return
to some Chinese port or steam to san
Francisco. Officials nave anxiously
been waiting for news OF the battle
because on its outcome they believe
depended the length Of the war.
With the capture of the Philippines
and the destruction of the Spanish
fleet, there is a hope that Spain Will
realize the hopeless Of the struggle
aud prepare to yield as gracefully as
possible. The disaster will aggrayate
her internal troubles, which are al
ready grave.
The value of our shipping at present
on the Pacific amounts to a fabulous
sum. For the greater part, the vessels
cleared before hostilities begun and
would fall an easy pray to Spanish
cruisers 1t was as much to protect
these gigantic interests as to strike
fatal blow that Dewey was ordered to
Manila. and the results are as salts
factory as could have been hoped for.

to have withdrawn behind the mer-

bay.

and the Spanish feet at Manila, com
manded by Admiral Montejo, who is
said TO be the greatest fighter in the
Spanish navy.
Two engagements were fought, in
both of which the Spanish were de-
feated. Though no statement has been
made, the loss of life on the Spanish
ships must have been heavy, as it is
known three of their ships were de-
stroyed-one burned, one sunk and
another blown up-the latter possibly
by the explosion of a magazine caused
by torpedo. In the latter event the
number drowned, in addition to those
killed, would be heavy. Dispatches
also state that number of Spanish
craft were scuttled to prevent their
falling into the hands of Dewey's men.
Under cover of the night, the United
States fleet forced the forts and took
up positions in the bay and at day
light gave battle. The engagement

Washington, May 1.-The first naval
battle of the war has been fought, and
American pluck and valor are triumph
ant The Spanish feet in the Philip
pines has been, for the most part, either
captured or destroyed, and great
danger TO the commerce of the United
States has been removed. Spain power
at sea on the Pacific is broken, and ere
now Manila, the capital of the Philip
pines, is probably in possession of Com
mander Dewey and his marines. The
latest adyices are to the effect that a
joint attack by the fleet in cooperation
with the insurgents on land was about
TO be made. The remaaht of the
Spanish fleet could do little effective
fighting, while the shore batteries with
their antiquiated guns would soon fall
before the attack. These silenced,
Spanish sovereignty in the island would
at least, pass away, and
Uncle Sam would be in possession of

REJOICING AT WASHINGTON
News JoyfuIly Received and the streets
Filled With Cheersng People.

Filled With Cheersng People.
Washington, May Washington is
rejoiced tonight. Not since the DARK
days of the great civil conflict of third
of a century ago have the people been so
profoundly moved by war news as
they were this evening. The first bat
tie of the Hispano-American war has
been fought, and victory lies with Ad-
miral Dewey's squadron under the
stars and stripes.
The first news of the battle received
came in brief cablegram from Mad
rid to the Associated Press about
o'clock AS the night wore on the ca
BILE continued to sing the news of vic
tory for the squadron of Admiral
Dewey, and the interest grew into
tremendous excitement
The absence of any statement of spe-
cifc injury to the American vessels in
the Madrid advices was construed as
convincing indication that they had not
suffered appreciate injury. and this
was especially pleasing.
Not only was the preservation of the {
American ships and men considered
in itself a happy outcome, but was
commented upon as indicating clearly
that Admiral Dewey and his associate
officers and men under their command
had discharged splendidly their several =
duties in directing and executing the
fight. In this connection, it was point
ed out as little less than marvellous
that the American squadron escaped
without severe injury, because, not
withstanding the disparity in the ma
val forces, the Spanish feet, assisted
by the shore batteries, should have
been able to inflict severe damage to
its foe before itself being destroyed
It's failure to do so was explicable only
upon the hypothesis of perfect and
swift work by the American squadron
An opinion freely expressed by ns'
val officers is that the very decisiu
victory of Admiral Dewey's feet Will
mean probably an early end to the
war, without further naval battles Of
The American feet is
now supreme in the waters of SPANS
Pacific possessions, and indications
we're strongly toward the slipping Of
the Philippines from her control.

an empire in the old world of extrava-
giant richness and 1000, 600 people.
There are few details, and in this re-
spect only are accounts unsatisfactory.
The cable is under Spanish control and
has its outlet in Madrid. With the
vigorous SPANISH censorship which is
exercised Il is certain that the accounts
of the defeat are not overdrawn, and
government officials feel that the Span
ish ministry is only paving the way for
more disastrous news which must in
evitably soon be heralded through
other sources.
