Cool Heads and Action of Americans Mastered Situation and Averted
 Threatened Slaughter.

During the thirty-six hours from Friday morning to Saturday night of last week, Cananea, the big So- nora mining camp, probably saw more excitement than was ever before witnessed in d Mexican town or city in the same space of time, except in war time. Those who were in the big camp during the exciting hours, still marvel and ever will, at the passing of the crisis without the sacrifice of from five hundred to one thousand lives People of two races walked the same streets, many of them armed and ready for battle, and all con- fident that the struggle was inevit- able. Yet the scenes of bloodshed that were 50 confidently expected, did not materialize. Instead of a general battle there were few small skirmishes in which probab- " not more than thirty lives were lost.
 On many occasions the situation was such that nasty blow or Il rife or revolver shot would have precipitatcd the expected race war and the doings of the next few hours would have constituted one of the most deplorable pages in Mexican history and even might have been 50 greatly disastrous in it's results as to cause war between the two countries whose citizens were lined up against each other.
 Trouble that started presumably as a strike for higher wages on the part of the Mexican miners, very quickly developed conditions more threatening and important than labor strike Al the very begin- ming of the trouble the strikers manifested a desire to drive the Americans from the Camp and openly threatened to do so. The Americans, alarmed by the threats, quickly procured all the arms available to protect themselves and this precaution only added to the resentment of the strikers. 1t brought about the situation that the agitators of the trouble appar- entity had plotted for
 The first violent act of the agit ators after the men had quit work, was the burning of the company's lumber yard, during which five. or possibly six lives were lost. The mob marched up the mesa on which the lumber yard was situat- ed and attempted to enter the ward and the eompany's office. Two Americans, George Metcalf, man. ager of the lumber yard and his brother, William, were the only Americans at the place. They req soned with the mob and tried to dissuade them from the destruc- tlon of the property, but without success. As the mob advanced upon them, the Americans, wish

charge of the situation there was no further trouble. Hewas master of the situation from the start.
 His men began at once to single out the agitators and all day Sun day the work was prosecuted with vlgor. The jails were filled and bull pen arranged to accommo- date others. At night the streets were deserted, except for the milit- ary and police officers.
 Tuesday the mines and concent- rators resumed operations and the business houses were opened. Many of the strikers returned to work, and hundreds left town.
 Americans as we'll as Mexicans left town. Many Of the former fear t. again enter the mines and work side by side with those who during the riots manifested toward them such deep and bitter hatred and were 50 outspoken in their threats. It will be many months before American miners will work side by side with the Mexican miners, with the same feeling of security that prevailed in the past.
 From American sources the re- port circulated throughout the United States that American Fede. ration of Labor agitators had been melting the Mexican miners to strike and were responsible for the uprising in Cananea. THE OASIS does not intend to take any part in the contest between the Fede- ration and the interests opposed to that organization, hut HE OASIS reporter was in Cananea from Saturday morning till Tuesday afternoon, during most of the riot ing, and was there to learn the truth Of tho matter So far as could be learned the strike was in- cited entirely by Mexican agitators and there was no connection what ever between the strikers and the American Federation or any other American organization The strik- CTS, on the contrary, manifested q deep and bitter hatred of all Amer jeans and especially Of American miners. TIE OASIS representative enquired carefully into the matter during the three days he was in the big camp and the people of Cana nea, who 50 we'll understand the situation, ridicule the reports that the American Federation of Labor men were in any way connected with the trouble there. The Amer ican and the Mexican miner may some day belong to common union, but that dayis far in the future. It can be only when the bitter race hatred so plainly man. lfested during the Cananea trouble is oblitcrated They may work in the same mine, but even work ing together there will not be for q long time the feeling of trust to- ward each other that is necessary before the two races will unite for mutual interest.

on them, but failed to check the advance. The Metcalfs then at- tempted to escape and running into the office climbed to the roof from the inside. but they were fol- lowed by the bowling mob, the building fired under them and the lumber in the yards also fired The men jumped from the roof Of the burning building and defended themselves as long as they could. which was for a few seconds omly. They were stabbed and beaten till both were unrecognizable, and after being killed the bodies were brutal ly mutilated During the brief struggle they killed three of their assaslants.
 The flames from the lumber yard and commotion on the mesa att Iracted the attention of Americans in all parts of the city and those at the company's store and other places on the RonquiIlo quickly armed themselves and hurried to the rescue, not knowing that the Metcalts had been already murder ed The Americans on foot were led by Manager Dwight Of the iner- cantile department, whiles others rode in an automobile with Col. N. c. Greene. president and man. ager of the Cananea Consolidated Copper Company On the mesa they were met by the mob from the lumber yards. The mob pushed forward and attempted to separ- ate the Americans on foot from those iD the automobileand trouble quickly followed. How many were killed is still q question. Eleven Mexieans were reported killed and no Americans. The mob fell back and the Americans, who wished only to defend themselves ceased firing at once They did not then know of the murder of the two Metcalfs, who were two of the most popular Americans in Cananca It is well they did not know of the killing of the two brothers, else more shooting might have been done.
 The news quickly spread about the city that there was war be tween the Mexicans and Americans and the latter were to be driven from the camp or killed. Mexican agitators openly ' insulted Americans on the street and endeavored 10 goad them into q fight, they ap- parently wishing to force the Amer jeans to start the shooting again and precipitate a general fight. but the latter bore with the insults and maintained a defensive attitude.
 The Americans expected gen. eral attack Friday night and quickly organized their forces. There seemed to be no organization among the strikers. Agitators were numerous and the mob was kept stirred up against the Americans, but leaders of any strength of character they did not appear to have. They would walk the streets in mobs, then in small parties, but always without any apparent lead- ership. This condition was quick ly taken advantage of by the Americans and as soon as dark ness settled over the city the Amer jeans moved aboutin little punches and whenever a small party of Mexicans were encountered and could be handled without precipi- tating battle, they were stopped by the Americans and deprived of

 Saturday forenoon Governor lzabal's special arrived and the rage of the insurgents knew no bounds when about three hundred well armed Americans from Bisbee, Negales and Naco filed from the cars into the streets. Reports had been sent 10 Bisbee and other towns that Americans were being murdered and abused in Cananea and the men it Bisbee. the nearest American mining town to the line, quickly bought np all the firearms ln the camp and started for the international line, where they awaited all opportunity to go to Cananea The first train to pass through Naco waS the special bear ing the governor and his staff, and the men offered their services 10 the Sonora executive.

Amer jeans in Cananea were never proud- CT than when they witnessed the orderly and manly conduct of that hastily organized little army that went to their assistance when they believed there was danger.
 Shortly after noon a detachment of the Gendarmeria Fiscal arrived in Gananea and the Americans immediately were ordered N the governor to leave the state. Though fearful that they might still De needed by the American residents of the camp. they obeyed the order and returned to their cars, leaving the policing of the city to the Gen darmeria Fiscal and the police force, but q damaged engine made 1t impossible for them to leave the camp till late in the evening. During the afternoon there were several little clashes between Americans and Mexicans in differ- ent parts of the camp, during which nine Mexicans and three Americans were known to have been killed. and several wounded. The American volunteers, though anxious to go to the scene of the shooting, still obeyed like soldiers and remained where they were quartered and about nine o'clock that night they left for Arizona, orderly and obedient to the last.
 Early Saturday evening Colonel Kosterlitzky arrived in Cananea with a second detachment of his Gendarmeria Fiscal and instantly a change was noticeable in the camp.

THE ANTI.CHE-FA
CRUSADE ON MAUI

Referring to che-fa gambling, Sheriff
Saffery of Maui says in a report to
the Board of Supervisors:
This department will do its utmost
to stop this evil, and beg to compli-
ment your honorable body for the as
sistance which you have rendered in
the shape of the ordinance which you
have at last passed. Through this Or
dinance. the bars of the building known
as the All Mi House lin Kahului. i'll
which the pakapio bank held forth
and now being used as the che-fa bank,
have been taken down, well as otfTer
barricaded houses in the place. This
form of gambling, the native Hawai-
ians are very much interested in and
greatly indulge in the same, and as
result they will suffer loss of money
and other things of value, which they
sell just to procure money to play che
ia with therefore, as 1 have above
stated we will do our very best toward
stopping this game. Special Officer
Luke Chan of Makawao has done great
service in connection with the arrests
above mentioned and deserves credit
