SPOKANE, May THE mines of
Shoshone County, Idaho, that propose
to operate during the reign of martial
law may do so only on condition that
they do not employ members Of the
Occur d'Alene miners union. This is
the martial law as laid down by Cen
eral Merriam and Attorney General
Hayes of Idaho. At meeting of the
mine-owners in this city to-day
Mr.. Hayes presented this mandate.
The owners :cheerfulIy promised to
obey.
1--WE are going to clean up the Occur
d'Alenes," said Attorney General Hayes
prior to his departure for Boise. Il
have seen some of the mine owners to-
day and they have been informed by
the proper authorities that they can
not employ any one connected with a
criminal organization in the county.
The miners union in Shoshone County
contains many desperate characters
and criminals who have, under the pro-
lection of the union, perpetrated crimes
and outrages. Twice r. it been neces-
sary because of these men and their or
ganization to put the country under
martial law We want to put stop to
that sort of thing.
"The owners living in Spokane allow
the union to run things. and when
property is threatened or riots occur
as a result they wire to the Governor
or Idaho to send troops to protect their
property. Some of these mine-owners
know who the men were who left their
mines to go up to Wardner for the pur-
pose of blowing up the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan mi l. They allowed the men to
go out of the mines to destroy the prop
erty of another and then to return to
work.

idly by and see the volunteers from
Colorado fighting and dying in the
Philippines in defense of the policy
which is actuating those in charge of
the movements of our armies abroad
I'm the first place the volunteer
troops are being detained illegally and
in defiance of the constitution. They
enlisted for the Spanish war. That war
is over and still they are detained in
those far-off islands.
Under the constitution the Colorado
volunteers would be perfectly justified
in laying down their arms where they
are and in returning to the United
States If they should do anything like
that probably they could be court
martialed and punished under the
strict law of military rule, but in that
event this same military rule would be
placed above the constitution Of our
Republic"
1t is regarded as possible that in the
event of the failure of any public at
tempt" which may be made to bring
about the return of the troops the Gov
ernor will resort to legal proceedings.
If such proves to be the case the Su-

RETURN OF HEROES
FROM MANILA BAY

NEW YORK, May Flying home
ward bound pennant 236 feet long. the
cruiser Buffalo came into port this
morning after a record breaking run
from Manila. She brought $50 officers
and men from Dewey's fleet, more than
half of whom participated in the battle
whose terms of enlistment have ex-
pired.
Among the officers were Paymaster
John r. Martin, Captain Dutton of the
marine corps, Lieutenant A. G> Rogers
of the Monadnock, Lieutenant 5. s.
Robinson of the Boston, Surgeon E.
Rogers of the Monterey, Surgeon R. S.
Blackman of the Boston, Ensign Ste
phen Douglas of the Monadnock. En-
sign f. S. Wilson of the Monadnock,
Ensign Lang and nine naval cadets
who came home TO take the spring eX-
aminations at Annapolis.
Captain Hemphill, who took the
Buffalo out to Manila on December
7th with more men for Dewey, brought
the cruiser home in forty-four days
including stops at Singapore, Port
Said and Gibraltar. The actual sail
ing time was thirty-seven days, an
average speed for the trip of 13 IA
knots an hour. Fine weather was had
all the way except after leaving Glib
raltar, when the Buffalo ran into a
series of southwest gales, which made
her roll heavily.
Captain Hemphill said that he ran
from New York to Manila in fifty
three days after the two breakdowns
on the start, and that was considered
big feat. He could have brought the
Buffalo home in -thirty-seven days, but
the bottom became fouled and this de-
layed her with the added detention of
three days in docking at Singapore.
The cruiser was in Manila Bay about
six weeks and left there on March %.
The captain. like every other officer in
