Expected,
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.

WARDNER. Idaho. April 26.-The
has suddenly been turned into an
armed camp. The strikers were in ses-
sion all night long at their hall. At $50
O'Clock a compact body of men. headed
by President Boyles, started up the
canyon. They halted a short distance
from the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mine.
Soon after, in little punches. came
the non-union miners to go to work
They were stopped by the strikers. and
Boyles urged them not to go to work.
One or two of the non-union men tried
to push through the crowd OF strikers.
but were forced back, with the remark
that the union did not intend them to
go to work. Then T. S. Murray. a
leader of the strikers, drew a big re-
volver, which he leveled at bunch of
Bunker Hill employees.
Il tell you what the proposition is. :"
he shouted; you walk down that hill
again inside of four minutes. or else go
down some other way"
He drew his watch and as he counted
the seconds the working miners fall
tered and started down the hill. A half
dozen OF them went into Blacks board
ing house, on the main street of the
town. They were pursued into the
house by strikers.
What will we do with them?'
shouted somebody.
Run them down the canyon" wasthe
reply. With that they started the nom
union men toward the foot of the town.
DR.. France, Coroner and physician of
the hospital demonstrated.
I'VE will run you out of town. too.
some one shouted, and one of the
strikers struck him in the face. The
doctor stepped aside and was not fur
ther molested.
The strikers then dispersed and the
non-union men were invited into a
friendly saloon and then later returned
to the boarding house.
Later in fight between number OF
strikers and the men from the Bunker
Hill, one of the union men fired the in
itial shot Of the strike. 1t was directed
at a door behind which some of the
working miners were believed to be in
hiding. Tonight no attempt was made
to interfere with the working force. and
about eighty men went on duty when
the shifts changed.
Sheriff Young arrived from Wallace
to-day.
Tonight armed men are on guard
both at the Bunker Hill mine and the
mill. They halt all comers and demand
the countersign. The strikers have

KAUTZ SAYS
GERMANS Do
NOT LIKE HIM
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CINCINNATI, April pa letter
written by Rear Admiral KautZ to his
cousin, Mrs. Charles Lindley of. Gin
cinnati, has been made public by the
recipient. 1t is dated March % and Is
in the easy vein of a relatives private
correspondence. In the letter he says:
'You will probably read a lot of stuff
about me in various newspapers, but l
can assure you that l am all right and

ing of King which 1 am obliged to do

casion only"
ton of Admiral Kautzs letter referring
to his position at Samoa caused absolute
CONSERVATION at the Navy Department
and State Department at first reading.
but there was soon exhibited disposi-
tion to minimize the affair, because it was
clearly apparent that the letter was moth
ing more than a strictly private commune
cation passing between members of the
same family Nevertheless, coming as it
does close upon Captain Coghlan's indis-
cretion and following the publication of
Judge Chambers letter to his brother
criticizing the Germans in Samoa, the
opinion was held that Admiral Kautz' 3
letter could not have other than harmful
effect upon the relations between the
United States and Germany.
In official German quarters the letter
was not treated very seriously, and there
was no indication that the German au-
thorities would take cognizance of 1t. The
spirit of fun in the letter appealed to
some of the diplomatic officers, who
laughed heartily over Kautz's description
of the young Kings makeup, and this
amusing feature largely offset any irri-
tation which might have been felt over
the criticisms contained In the letter.
The impression prevailed, however, that
the Navy Department probably would deal
with the indiscretion in such way as it
deserved.

MATT QUAY
TO GET SEAT
IN SENATE
Friends Claim a Poll Shows
That He Has Plenty of
Supporters.
SIXTY. VOTES
It Is Asserted That a Deal Has Been
Made Whereby Pennsylvania
Will Support Mckinley.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, April ga Pittsburg
Pa) special to the Herald says. Close
friends of NJ. S. Quay claimed to-day
they have information that the Senator
has completed a preliminary poll of the
United States Senate and secured the
absolute pledges of sixty-seven votes in
favor of seating him on the commission
issued by Governor Stone. There will
be only eighty-six Senators in the up
per branch of the Fifty-sixth Congress,
owing to the deadlocks in Delaware.
California, Pennsylvania and Utah. so
that forty-four votes would be suffi-
cient to insure the seating of Quay.
Quay's lieutenants say he will not
have less than sixty seven. and some of
them say they believe that there will
be no concerted opposition whatever,
owing to the fact that three national
chairmen of the Republican. Demo-
cratic and Populist parties are in IA
Vor of giving him a seat
These three e Hanna of Ohio. Jones
of Arkansas and Butler of North Caro-
lima. 1t is also intimated now that after
Quay's managers decided to maintain
the deadloc,- to the end of the Legisla-
ture a careful poll of the. Senate was
made which at the time assured a fa-
Vorable termination of the contest for
the seat, and that the Mckinley ad-
ministration fell in line with this pro-
gramme with the understanding that
the Pennsylvania delegation to the next
national convention will support the
Canton man for denomination.
Quay men say the Democratic affec-
ton for tie cenator dates from the
time that he engineered the retirement
of the force bill.
General w. w. Dudley, of Blocks of
Five fame, who was counsel before
the Senate Committee on Judiciary for
Henry w. Corbett of Oregon, who
claimed q seat in the .oenate on the
appointment by he Governor of that
state, practically confirms the story
that Quay Will be seated
quay will be recognized" he said.
- he case of Corhett is no precedent.
That case was nevsg determined on it's
merits. Had it gone to a vote in the
Senate Mr.. Corbett would have been
seated"

STEAMSHIP CRASHES
INTO A BRIGANTINE
The Blakeley Almost Cut in Halves
Amidships by the Homer
at Seattle

SEATTLE, April 26.-In broad daylight
early to-day the steamer Homer crashed
into the brigantine Blakeley, which was
moored fast to her dock, and almost cut
the vessel in halves amidships. This is
the second collision within two months
the Homer has had in daylight while
coming into her dock. In fact, the
steamer was on her way from the ship
yard where the injuries she sustained
when she collided with the Al-Ki had
just been repaired when she ran into the
Blakeley.
Captain Higgins of the Homer claims
the accident this morning was due to the
fact that the ropes to the bells in the
engine-room broke and he was unable to
control the steamer. The inspectors at
this point blamed the Homer for the AL
Ki collision, but on appeal to the Super
vising Inspectors at San Francisco this
decision was reversed and the Al-Ki then
brought suit for damages against the
Homer, which is pending. Captain Hig-
gins takes all the blame for the collision
to-day.
The Homer is again on the ways, and
the Blakeley, by shifting the cargo and
lifting the breach in her side above
water, is still at the dock.

THE COCHLAN
INCIDENT IS
DULY CLOSED
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The case
of Captain Coghlan may be considered
as finally closed. The German Embas-
sador, DR.. Won Holleben, called at the
White House this afternoon and had
conference on the subject with the
President of such a satisfactory nature
that the matter was regarded as
settled. The President explained the
course the Navy Department had taken
in administering a reprimand to Cap
tain Coghlan. 1t was also pointed out
that the officers explanations of the in
cident stated that his utterances had
been much exaggerated. On the part
of the ambassador there was every dis
position to deal as lightly with the
matter as possible and not to permit it
to become source Of friction.
During the day the Navy Department
administered to Captain Coghlan the
reprimand which had been determined
upon yesterday as stated in these dis
patches. This was in the form of a
letter from Secretary Long to the cap
tain. 1t is stated at the department
that the letter will not be made public
before the officer has received it and
probably not then.
The department made public a brief
statement of the contents of Captain
Coghlan's letter in answer to Secretary
Longs request for an acknowledgment
of responsibility of the utterances as
cribed to him. The statement is as
follows:
Captain Coghlan has replied to the
department stating that the newspa-
pers have not reported him with sub
stantial accuracy. Also, that he in
tended no disrespect or contempt to the
German flag and is extremely sorry
that any such Interpretation was put
on his remarks. Reprimand will be
sent and such action taken in respect
thereto as is proper"

\ n ANILA, April 26.-There
IVI was hard fighting to-day
on each side of the rail
road line, the rebel forces for the
first time using two shrapnel
guns, from which they poured
heavy but ineffective fire on the
American forces from the north
bank of the Rio Grande River.
General Hale, with the Fifty
first Iowa and the Kansas regi-
meht, held the positions on
the east of Calumpit which were
gained yesterday. Wheaton's
brigade, on the west of the
railroad, advanced west of Ca
lumpit toward the Rio Grande,
on the north side of which were
strong intrenchmentS of the in
surgent forces guarding the rail-
road bridge spanning the stream.
There was heavy fighting on
each side. One man in the Kan
sas Regiment was killed and
the Montana Regiment lost one
killed and eight wounded.
Through the kindness of Senor
Villemer 1 have just received by
carrier pigeon an account of the
advance of Major General Law
ton, whose line of communica-
ton had been cut off. The same
bird also brought message from
General Lawton to General Otis.
The story brought by carrier
pigeon says that two columns
the first under General Lawton
and the second under Colonel
Summers-1net at Norzagaray,
in the hills fifteen miles east of
Calumpit. General Lawton had
marched tWenty-eight miles un-
| der almost insurmountable diff
culties. This advance is one of
the most notable feats of the en-
tire campaign against the insur-
gents.
The road over which the ex-
pedition advanced is a mere trail
across rough hills. The entire
force had to turn in and help the
wagon train, as the use of water
buffaloes proved an inefficient
method of transportation, ten OF
the animals dying of exhaustion.
The enemy offered little resist
ance.
Colonel Summers, with his
force, had reached Norzagaray
Sunday morning, taking the
town after a little fighting. The
enemy retreated to the hills. On
Tuesday the American forces
took and burned the village of
Angat, the total loss being five
wounded.
The insurgents continue to fire
on Norzagaray from the hills, but
do not seem inclined to make a
determined stand, pursuing in
stead guerrilla tactics.
