 the Troops Were Ordered.

Washington Dec. 6. Governor
 Sparks appeal to the president, dated
 Carson City yesterday. follows:
 At Goldfield there now exists dem onstration. violence, unlawful condi-
 tions and conspiracies which do now
 obstruct and hinder the execution of
 the laws of Nevada and deprive citi- zens of their rights. privileges and the protection named in the Constitution
 of the United States. particularly as
 follows: The unlawful dynamiting of
 property. the commission of felonies.
 threats against the lives and property
 of law-abiding citizens. the unlawful possession of arms and ammunition. and the confiscation of dynamite and
 threats of unlawful use of the same by
 preconcerted actions. The lawfully
 constituted authorities of the state are unable to aDprehend and punish the perpetrators of said crimes and to
 prevent the commission of threatened crimes and unless the relief requested
 is granted the state, the lives and
 property of a large number of people
 will be irreparably affected and dam aged.
 Therefore, pursuant to the consti-

 the president, immediately to send
 to GOldfield two companies of troops Of the army of the United States to suppress unlawful disorder and vio-- lence to protect life and property. td. restore peace and to insure the protec-
 tion Of the law to the people of the state"
 The presidents reply is as follows:
 "To the Acting Secretary of War: Referring to the accompanying formal request of Governor Sparks Of Nevada for federal troops to restore order in Goldfield. please direct General Fun ston 10 send a sufficient number of troops to be wholly adequate to meet any emergency. It is far better to avoid conflict by sending too many troops. than by sending too few. to run | the risk Of inviting bloodshed
 (Signed) THEODORE ROOSEVELT" In q dispatch to the adjutant general here, Funston says T have just con- ferred with a prominent mining opera tor of GOldfield now here. a man thor oughly familiar with all conditions there. He stated that the Western Fed eratiOn in GOldfield numbers 32.O00. of which about 1000 have rifles and

shot guns Not more than 300 of these men might be considered dangerous. and he doubts if they would resist the regular troops. Their leaders are some of the men who have made so much trouble in Idaho, Colorado. The dan ger is that before the troops can arrive they will blow up the mines and kill people. The sheriff is a member of the Federation and is in sympathy with them
 The schedule time of trains is twenty-six hours. A special could make it in eighteen. l feel that l should inform the department that had wired within three hours after re- ceipt by me of the message.
 Acting Secretary of War Oliver to- day made public all the correspondence 80 that the facts impelling the order ing of the troops might be known. In addition to Funston's first dispatch an- nouncing that he intended to send two companies to Goldfield, came later correspondence showing that upon in- side information as to the situation in the mining camps it had become ap- parent that a small force would only invite attack or resistance by the riot ous element, while an overwhelming force would insure peace by making it apparent to the lawless element that resistance would be hopeless.

Why the Appeal Was Made to Bring in
 Federal Troops
It is Thought That Result Will Be to Establish Permanent Branch Military Post at the Great Mining Camp.

Goldfield. Dec. 6.-There was intense but suppressed excitement in Gold field today over the expected arrival of troops in camp tomorrow morning IL is the only subject of conversation. Miners Union Hall has been filled tli day and crowds filled the sidewalks and streets in front. There has been no demonstration to speak of, all though there have been threats by hot heads as to what they will do after ths troops actually come. The miners havs thought that the report that the troops Were coming was all bluff. intended 10 intimidate them. They have only come to a realization of the real situ- ation Within the past few hours. They seem disconcerted and nOnplussed as the events which have happened have swept along too fast for them. They are certainly unprepared for this turn of events.
 President McKinnOn of the Miners Union. brother in law of William b. Haywood, is in charge of the miners campaign. Vincent St. John has been in the hospital several weeks as the result of a gunshOt wound received in q duel between himself and another la bor leader but he is ready for duty now Sheriff Ingalls, and his force are disgruntled at the coming of the troops. This afternoon the sheriff dis appeared, taking precautions that his whereabouts should not be known. It was conjectured that his action has an important bearing on the present situ- ation. Before he left, the sheriff said he knew of no trouble in Goldfield. that q call of troops should be made over his head. The sheriff and his force has always been charged by the mine owners as being more than friendly to the miners. He is one of the owners Of one of the largest saloon and gam bling houses, which is largely patron ized by miners. Last spring during the strike, hundreds of striking miners were sworn in as deputies and armed. IT is because of their misrrust Of the sheriff that the. mine operators appeal cd to the governor direct.
 Under Sheriff Bert Knight and near F. all the county officers signed a pro test against sending for the troops and sent it to the governor. IL is under stood by the mine operators that the coming of the troops means a perIna- nent garrison in Goldfield. It is de- clared that this plan has been under consideration for d number of months and that a number of appeals have been made by mine owners through out the state for such action by the var department. but little of the de- tails could be gathered. It is under stood that d post or branch of the PresidiO may be regularly established bera as a military most
 The statement is made that the post would be established in a few months

THE coFFINS ORDERED.

FairmOunt. w. Va, Dec. 6.-At 11:00 o'clock tonight the list. of employee had been checked off, showing that 3SO were in the two mines when the explosion occurred. Of these six have been brought to the surface dead. and five escaped through on air shaft. The latter are in the miners hospital here in a precarious condition. Neither fly has been opened to the real workings. The indications are that a majority. if not all, caught in the mine are dead. It is rumOred that the mine officials have ordered 3s0 collins shipped to Monon Gap as soon as possible.

THE FIRST VICTIM.

Goldfield. New, Dec. 6.-Herb bert Bel ford, son of Judge Belford of Denver, appeared today at the office of the le- gal department of the Goldfield Con soiidated Mines company with his face so badly disfigured that he was hardly recognized, as a result of treatment re- ceived at the hands of the miners union on Saturday. His face was bruised. his nose broken, hls upper teeth knocked out and several ribs broken. Belford claims that he was recognized in a saloon and called to the sidewalk where he was taken in custody by man wearing a star and representing himself to be a deputy sheriff. He was led through a lonely district, supposedly on his way to jaii. when he was set upon by thugs and left for dead. He was found two or

DEPARTURE OF THE TROOPS.
The Nevada Outing May Last Two
 Months.

San Francisco, Dec. 6.-Five compa- nies of the Twenty-second infantry. stationed In this city, and four com panies of the same regiment, stationed at Monterey. were dispatched to Gold field today by Brigadier- General Fun ston. commanding the department of California. in compliance with orders received from the war department. Last night about 15O men and fourteen officers under the command of Col. Alfred Reynolds left Oakland Mole on a special train of four Pullmans and two baggage cars. Shortly before noon the Monterey contingent consist ing of 100 men, under Captain Curtis, left that city. The San Francisco troops were delayed two hours near Davisville this morning by the wreck of a freight train.
 Goldfield will be reached by the troops early tomorrow. The Monterey detachment carries two Wicker Maxim machine guns. Rations were taken to last thirty days. The troops are well supplied with shelter tents and each soldier is provided with twenty-nine rounds of ammunition.
 When asked how long the troops will probably remain in the mining camp. Col. Reynolds said he had no idea but was making preparations for at least two months.
 owing to q storm in the Sierras. wire communication with Goldfield is restricted. No overt acts have been reported. and while there is consider able excitement over tn coming of the troops. good order prevails.

 . Lambier could not, he declared. as- sign any reason for the deed. Finer son could only ascribe it to fears of a possible physical breakdown, the large number of One-night stands hav- ing affected her nerves.

most conservative estimates place the number of victims at 300 or more
 There is much speculation as to the cause of the explosion but the general ly accepted theory is that it resulted from black damp.
 It is believed that a miner attempted 10 set off a blast which blew out and ignited the accumulation of deadly gas, and that this in turn ignited coal dust, highly inflammable substance found in great or less quantity in all West Virginia mines.
