GENERAL BATES REPORT.
Sent to Investigate Conditions at Grip
pIe Creek Colo
No. 1S3


Washington. Dec. 2.-Major General
Bates. who was sent to Colorado to
investigate the disturbances in the
Cripple Creek and Telluride mining
districts has submitted his report to
Lieutenant General Young, che chief
of staff of the army and IL was made
public today. The report Is dated
Denver, Nov 20, and says:
Il find that the disturbances at
Cripple Creek and Telluride amounted
to insurrection against the state OF
Colorado, in that mining, milling and
other business was supended thereby
reason of intimidation, threats and VI
olence, and that the civil officers were
not able to or did not, maintain order.
The militia of the state has been
employed and is now employed at
Cripple Creek and Telluride. l think
che employment of the state troops
necessary at both these points and
that they are now giving proper pro-
lection to life and property. AT Grip
pie Creek work has been resumed and
at Telluride one mine has resumed op
erations and owners inform me they
propose to open their mines as rapidly
as. they can secure workmen. 1t is
probable that military guards will be
maintained at the points mentioned
for some time, but l understand it is
the intention to reduce the force as
rapidly as circumstances will warrant,
though in my opinion no material re-
duction can safely be made for some
months. At this time United States
troops are not needed.
There is an unsettled condition at
the coal mines both in the Trinidad or
southern district, and the new or
northern district, which may develop
Into such disorder as to require the
use of troops. Should this occur,
while the whole available force OF
state troops is employed at Cripple
Creek and Telluride, / think federal
troops will then be needed.
Il learned of no conditions, such as
interference with United States mails,
etc, that would make it the duty of
the federal government to interfere
without application from state author
