and the British are extending every possi-
bic kindness to the men who come in.
The appearance of General De Wet at the
camp at Winburg was the signal for
great display of enthusiasm. When he ar
rived at the camp General De Wet was at
once surrounded by thousands Of Boer men,
women and children. who struggled and
clamored to shake the hand of their hero.
General De Wet mounted a table and de-
livered an address. He warmly applauded
the stanch support that the women had
given the burghers during the war, which.
he said. had greatly encoura ged the men in
the field. Continuing, General De Wet
recommended his hearers to be loyal to the
new government and said:
Perhaps it is. hard for you to hear this
from my mouth. but God has decided thus.

upholding our cause, and. however bitter II

cision
Neither General De Wet nor General

All Quiet i'm the Strike District sun
day-President Mitchell without
Anything to Give Out.

PAWTUCKET, r. l., June 15.-The pres
ence OF 200 armed men sent by Governor
Kimball to restore order had little influence
except in the central part OF this city. to-
day. where the soldiers formed an invinci-
BILE guard. and this afternoon rioting broke
out anew in the suburbs and spread to the
neighboring city OF Central Falls.
The resumption of the electric service,
which had been abandoned since Thursday,
was the signal for demonstrations at the
points where neither soldiers nor police
were stationed, and the character OF the
attacks grew worse until the traction COM
pany was forced 10 abandon the car serv-
ice. The disorders extended over so great
area that the troops available were
unable to handle the situation. and il was
said that before the usual car traffic can
be resumed ii will be necessary TO place the
city of Central Falls and parts of Cumber-
land, Lincoln and North Providence under
military control. To do this an increase i'm
the number of troops will be necessary. 1t
was demonstrated that the cars could not
be operated In safety under present condi-
tions. The tracks were obstructed and
cars were pelted with stones by the mob
not only in the suburbs of this city, but i'm
Central Falls Missiles struck many of the
employees, some of whom were injured. and
rolling stock was d,maged.
About 1900 people gsthered around one
car in Central Falls and their attitude was
so threatening that a machine Sgn was
loaded and two companies of marines were
ordered TO charge the crowds The car
proceeded. but the line was later aban-
doned. The marines then marched
through the city, and at another point the
machine gun was made ready for action
when it became apparent that an outburst
imminent. Mayor Fales. of Central
Falls, not having requested military pro-
lection from the Governor. asked that the
troops be withdrawn, and this was done
after two hours OF service.
At a conference to-day between Governor
Kimball, Mayor Fales and Brgadier Gen.
eral Tanner il was decided that the militia
would not be sent 10 Central Falls until
their services were requested. The militia
unintentionally invaded Central Falls to
quell a disturbance, and the conference
was for the purpose OF preventing a repeti-
ton.

QUIET IN THE COAL FIELDS.
Soft Coal Men VIII Give All the Ala
that IL Needed.

Gilday, President Of the central Pennsyl-
vania bituminous district of the United
Mine Workers of America. who came here
TO consult President Mitchell on a matter
local to his district. in a talk with a cor
respondent Of the Associated Press to-day
gave an insight as 10 what the soft coal
miners in his territory are doing TO help
their brother workmen in the anthracite
field. Mr. Gilday said there are 1900 soft
coal miners in his district. and every one
of them is taking a deep interest in the
struggle now on in this region. On the sec
ond day OF the strike Mr. Gilday sent out
instructions 10 every check weighman and
Fit committeeman at the mines in his dis
trict to prevent the shipment OF soft coal
into anthracite territory and thus far, he
said. very little coal from his district has
taken the place OF anthracite.
There have been only four attempts by
Unionized mines TO send soft coal 10 the
anthracite markets.. he said. 'One order
was intended for Mount Carmel. Pa, two
for Philadelphia and one for New York
AS soon as our men at the mines learned
the intended destination OF the coal we
requested the mine owner not 10 send ~
and they complied with the request We

ment OF soft coal
President Gilday said he had no personal
knowledge that the other bituminous presi-
cents were doing the same himself bur
he felt sure they were. There is some soft
coal coming into the anthracite market
from central Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and Virginia, but IL Is mostly Of nonunion
production. When asked regarding the
