RestanrHdOr.

Caracas, Feb. 27.-The Venezuelan
authorities at Puerto Cabello after re-
ceiving the warship RestauradOr,
which had been seized by the blockad-
ing powers, have made an official re-
port regarding the transfer and the
condition of the vessel. The report
reads in part: "The Germans before
delivering the Restaurador had sacked
her in a ruinous manner. They carried
off silverware, covers, curtains, electric
globes, kitchen utensils and even cop
per clasps from the ships side. The
machinery was purposely left out Of
order. 1t was necessary to employ me-
chanical engineers for "a hours in order
to place the Restaurador in condition

was scandalous."

MINERS AND OFFICERS FIGHT.
City, ". Va, and Three
Miners Are Killed.

Charleston, w. Va, Feb. 26.-At
Stamford City, in Raleigh county,
at dawn Wednesday morning ter
rible battle took place between the
joint posses of Deputy United States
Marshal Cunningham and Sheriff
Cook on one side, and rioting miners
on the other, as a result of which
three miners were killed, two others
mortally wounded and a number Of
others on both sides more or less
seriously hurt. The killed are: Dick
miner. Mortally wounded: John
Heiser, Irwin Lawson.
The trouble. grew out of the at
tempt to arrest "a miners for viola
ton of the blanket injunction issued
by Federal Judge Keller last August.
On last Saturday Deputy Marshal
d. w. Cunningham went to Atkins
Vile, mining town in Raleigh county
to arrest men charged with violating
the injunction. He was surrounded
by a large party of miners armed
with Winchester rifles, who ordered
him to leave the place, an order
which he quickly obeyed. Sheriff
Cook at this time attempted to make
some arrests under process issued by
the state court, and was treated i'll
a like manner. Cunningham returned
to this city and reported to the mar
shall and district attorney that he
could do nothing without a large
force, and then only at imminent
risk of precipitating bloody conflict.
He was instructed to return with
men sufficient to serve the process
given him and to do it at all hazard.
Seventy-three arrests were made,
ten falling to the share of Deputy Cum
ningham and SO to that of Sheriff Cook.
All the prisoners were taken TO Beck
ley, the county seat of Raleigh, where
the ten United States prisoners were
given preliminary hearing by Com
missioner Dunn and held for the APP
pearance at court here. They will be
brought here to-day. The federal
authorities will try to get the state to
give up the 63 so that they may be
tried in the federal court, but it is
doubtful whether it will be done.
