stated that the threatened battle be-
tween the lawless Italians and the mill.
TIA has been avoided
Without the use of any force, the
striking miners We're induced TO sur
render to the civil authorities. Twenty
OF the ringleaders submitted TO arrest
on the demand OF Or. Cuneo. the Italian
consul.
Colonel Macarey insisted that the
men be given their overdue wages, and
they win have to leave Hinsdale coun-
~, although in this last the mllitia will
take no part. The mine owners will
simply refuse to give the men work.
The arrival OF the soldiers was com
plete surprise. They did not have to
march up the canon from Lake City
and are 10 no danger, nor exposed to
any particular hardships. They viii
probably start home to-day.
The surrender WIS the result of a
long conference held during the day
between Colonel Macarey, General
Rarnum. Lieutenant William, Dr.
Caneo and Manager Nicholson of the
Ute-Ulay mines and Sheriff Deck. The
result OF the conference was an agree
ment that the militia officers named.
DR.. Cuneo, the sheriff and three depu-
ties, the latter four armed. were TO pro
coed to Henson and there Dr. Ounce
would address the men. asking that
they surrender peacefully and not com
pei the state to use force.

afternoon. covering the three miles in

The Americans who have not been oc-

clustered by a cabin opposite the line
No time was wasted by DIR. Cuneo
He Immediately jumped out OF the
wagon thar had brought him there and
stated shat he represented the Italian
government In Denver. He assured
them thar the United States govern

he asked that they lay aside their arms
and submit TO the law. He then read
the nanes on the warrants he held In

the call. Dr. Cuneo addressed the men
again. assuring them that they would
hc fairly treated and responses We're
made by half dozen. who said that
they recognized the justice of the con
sut's demands and that they would sub
nit to arrest.
The men wer,. good aaturcd and after
the arrest joked and chatted among
themselves rs they climbed into two
wagons to be taken into Lake City.
The only warlike person WIS the sher-

in holsters nj his side.

The Italians allege that the American
miners have been paid, but that the
Italians have not, and on this subject
the militia officers took a strong stand.

that all arrears with the men would

there was only few of those who have

money for their labor.
Five men who were in town surren-

While one phase of the question has
been settled and the strike is virtually
ended. the troops will not be with
drawn until Sunday morning, when
they will leave for Denver and Pueblo.
BY that time IL Is expected that the diff
ficulties will have been adjusted salts
factorlly 10 all concerned, although II
is maintained that friction will result
as the mine managers have promised
to employ no Italians and there is a
desire on the part of the citizens that
Italians be excluded from the county.
