Sheriff Parks with sixty deputies and Captain Ryn- ninG's rangers. Seven troops of United States troops arrived tonight, two from Huachuca. two from Grant, and two from Fort Bliss. The five principal strike leaders are arrested and will have a hearing here. then they go to Tucson to jail. It is thought unwise to take them to the Solomonville jail. Frank Colombo. the Italian leader; A. Salcido, president of the Mexican so- ciety, and w. H. Laustaunau, who was the big agitator and lately worked for the Coronado Mining company at Met calf is good talker and born agitator, and sometimes follows tinhorn gambl- ing is locked up. The officers here claim he is responsible for stirring up the ignorant Mexicans to a dangerous pitch of excitement.
 The town is now completely sur rounded by soldiers.
 
 placing men on the high hills sur rounding the camp armed with Krag JOrgenson rifles. He can command all the works and the company property. Superintendent Mills says he will start the works tomorrow and fill the mines with men as fast as possible.
 Since the arrest of the leaders to- day the strikers seem perfectly docile. The Mexican and Italian organized To- cal labor organization has no connec- tion with the federation, and Leader Laustaunau says the new organization will not allow the company to employ men not a member of the society. The store, he says, must not inCrease the price of goods unless in the case of general increase in the market price. If man is discharged a good reason must be given or the man must be re- stored to his job. All hospital and in- surance fees must be done away with. Since the troops have arrived there is a feeling Of safety. No one expects the strikers to interfere with the troops here. J. $. Douglas came here last night and he and a Bisbee Review re- porter rode on horse back from Clifton arriving at o'clock this morning On the way they met several Mexican men, women and children walking to Clifton
 MT. Douglas expects to return tC Bisbee tomorrow
 During the trouble on Tuesday Depu. ty John Eply, w. P. Birchheld. Cir Thompson and Al Bishop were con. fronted by three hundred armed strik. CTS, who demanded the officers arms The officers cooked their guns and GOV. cred the strikers, who kept off and al lowed the officers to go their way. Or the same day Sheriff Parks. twenty deputies and rangers halted 700 armed strikers, telling them not to come tC the concentrator where the officer. were on guard. This was q most criti cal moment, and a fight would have taken place had not Superintendent Mills asked the sheriff to abandon tn, concentration to the strikers. A singl, shot on Tuesday during the troubl, would have precipitated a fearful hu man slaughter.
 It looks now as though there is II, cause for alarm. The place is full O soldiers. Superintendent Mills and As sistant Mclean both carry rifles.
 The leader, Laustannau. while unde1 ground today posted a labor organiza lIOl OTuGI OI IIe Ndll- assistant sup. erintendent Mclean tore it down Laustannau delights to talk to who ever will listen
