Armed Themselves With Axes and Picks Ready to Defend
 Life and Property,
MEXICAN. JUDGE
 MAKING INVESTIGATION.
Refugees Are Returning to Greene's Copper Camp
 Across the Border - Seven Furnaces Now in Operation.

A Review man was dispatched to
 Cananea on Sunday for a correct ac-
 count of the situation, one week after the riot and insurrection which start
 ed in Cananea on Friday, June I, and
 ended two days later.
 On the train from Naco to Cananea
 were refugees, men and women, who
 had fled across the border during the
 first excitement and were again re-
 turning to their homes. Some had been
 as far as Tucson and Fl Paso, and had
 spent the week visiting with friends
 in nearby cities. Upon the advice of
 relatives and friends they were re-
 turning to Cananea to again take up
 their various vacations, and they all
 appeared to be glad of the oPportuni- ty.
 The story that the recent trouble at Cananea is over is correct. The Re
 view man arrived at noon on Sunday. Americans and MeXicans were going
 about their duties as usual, and but
 for the presence of two or three camps filled with Mexican soldiers,
 and the occasional appearance of a
 mounted rurale. Cananea is the same
 today as it was two weeks ago.
 As usual, it is difficult to get any
 information from an official source in
 Cananea. The Greene officials are
 not doing any talking. The best
 newspaper reporter can get from one
 of them is the answer that "every- thing is over, and We do not antici-
 pate another recurrence of week ago Since the arrival of General
 Torres, Col kost erlitzsky and Cover
 nor YZabal. there has been very little news of any kind. These men knew how to handle the situation, and the
 prompt restoration of quiet and order through their efforts is highly com
 plimented on all sides.
 There has been some talk about the part the American miners took in the outbreak at Cananea. The Re view learns that at the time of the strike there were in the employ Of
 the Cananea Consolidated Copper com pany twenty-three hundred American miners. Of this number about two thousand are again at work, and some three hundred have crossed over the line The Mexican authorities claim to be in possession of a confession, made by one of the Mexican ring lead CTS, to the effect that about three hun dred American employees were secret ly. if not Openly. aiding and encour- aging the MeXicans who walked out and later in the day started riot. The tip was given out that arrests would follow within twenty-four hours
 and goodly majority of the three
 hundred made bee line for the Stars and Stripes. Fully two thousand American miners armed themselves with picks and axes on the day of the riot, and stood ready to defend life and property in the event the mob af- tackled the mines.
 On Sunday seven furnaces were working at the smelter. the copcentra- tor was running full capacity. and the mines were turning out their usual output The events of a little more than a week ago have not been for gotten, however, and there are nut | lerings and threats. etc. but the au- lthoritles and company officials are all fof the opinion that there is nothing | to fear.
 | The Judge of the First Instance iS l icarrytng on an investigation. Several prominent company officials have been called upon to testify. Their tes- | timony Is taken down in long hand. and the process iG long and tedious. It 1 is expected that the investigation will continue for another week, then the report will he forwarded to the City 1 of Mexico. The Review was reliably | informed that charge sof murder have l informed that charges of murdar have American residents of CanaEes. These 1 Americans are now on this side of the
 line and will probably conclude to To-
 cate here permanently.
 A military post is to be established at Cananea. This much has been de. cided upon. and General Torres Is lawaiting further advices from the City of Mexico as to the size of the garri- son. Sr~-s
 l Col. Greene is still in Cananea, and texpects to remain about two weeks longer before starting; for New York. I At the home of the parents, the ! SE E- -U.
