STRIKE AT WARDNER
United States Troops May Take a
Hand in Repressing the Riot
GUS Strikers.
LARGE MOB SEXES A TRAIN
A Mill Blown Up by the Union Strikers
One Miner Was Killed and Another
Was Fatally Wounded.

Washington, May 1.-Brigadier Gen.
eral Merriam, commanding the depart
ment of Colorado, has been ordered to
Boise City to consult with the governor
of Idaho regarding the necessity and use
of United States troops at the Wardner
strike. Any troops available in the de-
partment of Colorado or elsewhere will
be ordered to hold themselves in readi-
ness to move when ordered by General
Merriam.
One man is dead, another is thought
to be mortally wounded, and property
valued at $25, 200 was destroyed by giant
powder and fire. The damage was done
by union men and sympathizers from
Canon Creek, about 20 miles from Ward
ner. A mob of from 800 to 1000 men,
all of them armed and many of them
masked, seized train at Burke, the
head of Canyon Creek. The visitors
brought with them 8 5000 pounds of giant
powder. Charges were placed among
the machinery Of the Sullivan mill.
Another charge was placed under the
brick office building. Other charges
were placed around the mil. Then the
boarding house, a frame structure, was
fired. Fuses leading to the charges
were lighted and the strikers, carrying
the body of the picket, returned to a
safe distance and the mill was blown to
pieces with five charges of giant powder
The present strike in the Occur
d'Alene mining district in northern
Idaho was inaugurated about ten days
ago, and is directed principally against
the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine, at
Wardner, where non-union men are
employed. The demands of the miners
for increased wages were met by mine
owners, but the miners demanded that
the union be recognized. and that the
non-unon men be discharged.
This the mine owners refused to do,
and the Last Chance mine closed down.
The Bunker Hill and Sullivan, however,
continued to run with non-union men
until they were driven out by an armed
mob of union men.

NICARAGUA TROUBLE
American Business Men at Blue6elds
Expected to Pay for Suppressing
the Late Rebellion.
UNCLE sam WILL INTERFERE
The Nicaraguan Government Expects the
United States Merchants to Pay Import
Duties Twice Minister Merry
Protests.

Washington, May. 1.-Advices from
Bluefields, Nicaragua, indicate that the
situation is extremely unsatisfactory
Nicaraguans hold American merchants
responsible for the Reyes rebellion
They consequently determined, accord
ing to reports received here to impose
upon these merchants the entire ex.
pense to which the government was put
in repressing the rebellion, amounting
to $6OO,O0O This could not be done d.
rectly without breach Of international
law, hence the attempt was made to
collect large part of it through de-
mand upon merchants for second pay
ments on imports paid the de facto gov
ernment while Reyes was in possession
of the place. American interests in
Bluefelds aggregate fully $2,OO0,OOO in
gold. The state department demands
that they shall be protected against the
extortion, so interesting news is expect
ed at any moment.
Minister Merry, who has been at Blue.
fields making an investigation of the
complaints of American merchants, is
expected under the instructions sent
him, to demand the refunding of such
duties as were paid under protest, and
that General Torres, the Nicaraguan Of
fetal in charge OF the departments, shall
be deferred from his attempts to force
the payment of these duties.
1t is the purpose to show the govern
ment that the American importers paid
to the insurrectionist government the
duties on goods brought into Bluefelds
during the period from February 3 to
February 25, and the Nicaraguan gov
ernment, after it regained control, had
no right to endeavor to assess them
again for the amount of such duties.
1t is contended by the Nicaraguan
government that the Americans really
paid the money to the insurgents to aid
them in their revolt, and that to pre-
vent the former from being illegally as
sessed, a decree was issued by President
Zelaya Immediately after the port was
occupied by the insurrectionists an
nouncing that no duties would be col
lected there.
The Detroit is at Bluefelds ready to
infOrce Mr.. Merry's demand, and no
doubt is felt that the incident will be
closed without much trouble.

The Treasury Statement.

Washington, May 1.-The treasury
receipts for April fell l5,4Oo,Ooo below
those of March while the expenditures
were $22, 100000 more. Receipts of
March were increased by the payment
of nearly $l2,000,000 on account of the
Central Pacific railway settlement,
while the expenditures for April were
increased by drawing warrants for the
payment of $sO,00O,O0O to Spain. The
deficit for the fiscal year to date amounts
to $1o9, 100,2ss but the probabilities are
that the deficit for the entire year will
not be in excess Of the estimate of Sl12,-
