NEW YORK, May 2.--Rear Admiral
SIMPSONS squadron of three battle ships
and two armored cruisers dropped anchor
off TomIH1insville this afternoon after a
ten weeks cruise in the West Indies. The
flagship New York, the Brooklyn, Indiana,
Texas and Massachusetts were sighted at
11:19 off the New Jersey highlands and two
hours later the ships were riding at anchor
off the Staten island shore. They will re-
main there for some time and visitors to
the ships will be welcomed. One by one
they will be placed in dry dock at the
Brooklyn navy yard to have their bottoms
scraped, preparatory to the summer evolu-
tions off the New England coast. The start
on this cruise will be made early in June.
Admiral Sampson appeared to be in better
health than when he left here. He said
that his health was very good and that the
voyage had been satisfactory. He said: I'VE
had a speed trial in the Caribbean and the
trial showed from II 10 Is knots. The Texas
made u knots, the New York 10 and the
others between those figures. The Brook
Ign made about knot less than the New
York. The gunnery practice work was done
with great elaboration. The effect of the
gunnery experience gained during the war
was not apparent because a large proper
ton of the crews are composed of new men.

gun before We were pleasantly entertained

TROOPS NOW ON GUARD
REGULARS AT SCENE OF THE IDAHO
STRIKE DISTURBANCE.
False Alarm at Wardner, which In
Prepare for an Attack.

WARDNER, Ida, May 2.-Last night
Sheriff Young deputized about fifty strikers
to guard the Last Chance mine. A small
party of the Bunker Hill miners had al
ready been deputized as constables to guard
that property AS four of them were re-
turning home to-day they were held up by
Young's deputies and their rifles taken
away from them. State Auditor Sinclair
has made a demand on the sheriff for the
return Of the property. Mr.. Sinclair is
urged by citizens to use his influence to pro-
cure martial law as the only hope for the
law-abiding people in the Occur Alene re-
gion. Five masked men were seen between
Wardner and Kellogg last night, but no
further outrage has been reported. A COM
pany of colored troops has arrived from
Spokane. Hundreds of people met them at
the depot and were wild with delight. The
arrests of strikers have commenced.
Shortly after the arrival this afternoon Of
Company NJ, Twenty fourth Infantry, Cap
tain Bachelor commanding, report was
spread among the inhabitants of the place
that the union miners from Canyon Creek
had started down to Wardner for the pur-
pose of wiping out the company of regular
troops before reinforcements could arrive.
Sixty nonunion men armed with rifles inn
mediatey rushed down the road from
Wardner to the railroad station, one and a
half miles distant, for the purpose of stop
ping the union men. The report is not cred
tied here and was probably occasioned by
the suspension of Geographic communica-
ton between Wardner and Wallace.
Quite a number of union men left to-day
on the trains going in both directions. But
two arrests have been made, and these are
both out on bail. Martial law has not yet
been declared, but 1t is expected it will be
tomorrow. Coroner France will commence
the inquest as soon as the witnesses can be
SubpOenaed.
Heynek Cheyne, shot in the hip by the
mob on Saturday, died to-day in Spokane,
where he had been taken for treatment. He
is a knight of Pythias and il is supposed
his brother knights will make every effort
to bring his murderers TO justice. his body
will be returned to this place tomorrow for
judicial investiga ton and interment. Other
troops will arrive tomorrow.

i. Down 1900 Feet.

Work on the artesian well at the
county farm was temporarily suspend
led yesterday on account of slight ac-
cident by which the sand bucket be-
came detached from the hosting cable
and dropped to the bottom of the hole,
which, at present is 1900 feet deep. Con,
tractor Kearns said today that he was
now working in white lime rock, and
thought from the indications that he
would strike the first flow of water in
the next 100 or $50 feet. The. well at
the Y. NJ. C. A. which was drilled by
Mr.. Kearns last winter is 1850 feet
deep, and il is quite probable that the
same vein will be reached at similar
depth in the well at the poor farm.
