by Governor Peabody, in connection with
the strike OF the miners OF that district
arrived at Gillette at 2 o'clock this morn
ing. 1t was announced that the troops
would not attempt to enter the camp until
daylight.
Since the start from Denver Adjutant
General Sherman Bell has perfected plans
for the mobilization of the entire state mi
litia, numbering 1000, should he wish to
do so. An arsenal will be established and
within "a hours 6oooo rounds of ammu-
milton will be collected in the gold camp.
When asked whether he anticipated any
serious trouble, General Bell said:
II do not know what we will meet with.
but ] shall be prepared for anything that
may turn up.
Rumors that an attempt would be made
to interfere with the passage of the troops
to Cripple Creek caused General Bell to
change the route of travel from the Short
Line road to the Colorado Midland.
SO secret were the arrangements that
but few even of his personal staff knew
of the generals intentions until they were
aboard the train leaving Colorado Springs,
Prior to the departure OF the main body
of the troops from Colorado Springs a
special bearing armed militiamen was sent
out.
Detachments from this company were
dropped off at the bridges along the route
and left to guard them until the several
sections following were safely over. So
far the journey of the troops has been
without special incident.

A SERIOUS NATURE
NEW YORK PHOTOGRAPHER SAYS

TARY HAY FOR CAUSE.

Threatens Personal Violence It
He Is Not Satisfied.
ny ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Sept Francis N. Beque,
46 years of age, photographer, was conf
mitted to Bellevue hospital today to be
examined as to his sanity.
Beque had been arrested for writing a
letter to Secretary of State Hay, i'll which
he threatened the secretary If claim of
90 600 was not paid.
Beque has written letters on the subject
to the various presidents and secretaries
OF state since the administration of Harri-
son, none. however, threatening in tone
Until this letter to Secretary Hay, i'll which
he declared il MIR. Hay did not attend to
his claim he (Bcque) would attend to Mr..
Hay.
Probably Insane.
Magistrate Cornell declared that he did
not believe Beque was in his right mind
and committed him to bellevue for ex-
animation.
The Washington police state that the
amount demanded by Beque of the au-
thorities of Hamburg, Germany, was 10000
marks. This sum, he says, was invested
in 1880 in photograph gallery in that
city, and he claims to have lost it when he
was expelled because he refused to per-
form military auty OH the ground that he
was an American.
He was given three days to leave Ger
many, but through Secretary of State
Blaine had the time extended to three

Secretary Hay was in the statement that
he had written eight letters TO the govern
ment to have his claim enforced and the
present one would be the last He said
he would take up the matter then himself
and whatever he did would be in self
defense.
The letter, like its predecessors, was long
