BLOODY BATTLE IN DESERT.
Japanese and Mexican Railroad 7. Men Fight.
Row Started Over Insulting Remark Made by a Jap to A Mexican Work Tools, Stones and Boulders Were Used As Weapons.


 Work Tools, Stones and Boulders
 Were Used As Weapons.
 New York, July 11.-A bloody battle between 150 Japanese and the same number of Mexicans has been raging five days on the desert between Bar stow and Victorville, according to a Tribune dispatch from Los Angeles, Gal. Four are reported dead and about fifty wounded, and the end of the struggle is not in sight.
 The combatants are all employed by the Santa Fe railroad, laying new rails, and the company has been forged to suspend operations in that section.
 The Japanese and Mexicans had been working peacefully side by side for some time, but on Monday a Jap. aneSe made an insulting remark about a Mexican and the fight began.
 When the two workmen came to blows sides were quickly formed and battle lines drawn. Tools used in rail- road building and bouiders from the bottom of the Majave river were the weapons and in a few minutes many heads were cracked. The Japanese were finally driven across the river amid showers of stones, almost as ef- fective as bullets. their leader remain ing in the front to the last. Both sides entrenched behind piles of sand and many sallies have been made since. The attacking force has invariably been repu1sed Two men were killed Friday when the Japanese earthworks were stormed by the Mexicans. The foreman is making every effort to patch up a truce, but the men seem determined to fight while any are left, and it may be necessary to call out the state troops to quell the fighters.
 Mexicans all over the section are de- veloping fierce hatred of the Japan csc because the latter are supplant1ng the Mexicans in many kinds of work. demanding less wages, as rule, but giving more satisfaction.

It was difficult to discover where the rI1-- mors came from and it was just assdif- fcult to find any person who was wiIl-s Ing to talk on the al eged settlement. President Mrnan was seen by a retre- sentative of the Democrat and when asked concerning the runors he said that he knew of no new offer from the Connecticut Railway & Lighting Co., and he could not say that there was anything in the rumors of settlementsl or Of cal ing the strike of. He hafB heard the report that unless the strike was called off pretty soon some fifteen or twenty of the men would return to work if they were able to-obtain places , He said that report was an old one and had been used several times. The, gist of his answers to the questlonsl asked him was that he knew of no4 Immediate settlement of the strike.
 iApropos of all this it is a welf known fact that President Murnan has been in close conference with w.. D. Richardson, manager of the He'll mann brewery and it is said that Mrs Richardson has been endeaporing to bring about settlement satisfacboryl to both the men and the company. Hef is somewhat interested in Forest park and is anxious to bring the whole dis pute to an end. Both those gentle- men were in conference to-day fors some time and what was the result ofs that conference could not be learned Another report was put in circulas ton today that when the Central Ia-~ Dor union meets on Monday evening there will be some surprises sprung. It would not be bit surprising to have the unions who have been supporting the strike take a hold of the natter themselves. Perhaps there may be- some fines put on some of the mem- bers and it may be possible that the end of the strike will come next week.

TpoIleymen and Linemen Can't
 Get Tog gether.
Former Want to Go Back to Work Linemen are Indifferent AboutIt and the Company Feels the Same Way One-third of the Strikers Have AL ready Gone Back.
