Springfield. ILL.,. Aug 15.-Springfield,
I'll. the city which is richest in the
memory of the great emancipation, is
yonisht an armed camp. because Its cit
zens yesterday gave vent to hatred of
the race which Abraham Lincoln de-
Jared free and equal with all other
peoples In this country. Squads of sol

Treets, and in the troubled portions of

Murmured Threats.
Sobered by the recollection of the
--agic events of last night and this
morning. the community has quieted
Town and only the murmured threats
II friends of those who were killed or
Founded In the streets, are heard. This
nurmuring, however, is keeping the au-
horities on the anxious seat. Early

" official, who was so severely hurt
hat he is lowering between life and
leath. almost succeeded in enlisting
blowers for a raid of vengeance upon

More Troops Ordered Out.
Taking a lesson from last nights ex-
serience, Sheriff Warner at once noti-
1ed Governor Deneen that fresh out
breaks were threatening and that more
troops would be necessary. The re-
sponse of the executive was prompt,
md as a consequence full brigade OF
state troops is here, under the CONS
mand of General f. c. Young. The
troops consist OF the First, Fourth and
Fifth regiments of infantry the Second
squadron of cavalry and a gatling gun
section. Two OF the infantry regiments
are scattered through the city at vari-
Gus points, the First regiment being
held In reserve and the Fourth for
patrol duty.
In the face of this display of force 1t
Is not thought likely mObS will be per-
mitted TO form.
The determination of the state TO pre-
serve order Is shown in the following
statement given out by Governor Den
cen this evening. He said:
'It is as intolerable as ii is inexcusa-
bic The idea of wreaking vengeance
upon the race for the crimes Of one Of
it's members is utterly repugnant to all
notions of laws and justice. No gov
eminent can maintain Its self-respect
and permit II. Our state will not per-
nit IL. The entire resources of the
state will be drawn upon If necessary
to protect every citizen of Springfield
In his person and property. and those
who violate the law must suffer the
consequences"

adjustments in the city closed tonight

opera which was to have been pre-
scented by the Whitney Musical com
pany of Chicago.
One of the numbers in the perform
ance entailed the appearance of a chO-
rus guised as negroes. and it was large

Exodus Of Negroes.
All day timid negroes have been leav-
ing the city with their families and
such possessions as they could hurried

the assurances of Governor Deneen that
full protection would be afforded to
those who remained in their homes.
The governor also took steps to allevi-
ate the distress of the families whose
homes or places of business were de-
stroyed by the mob. A refugee camp
was established at Camp Lincoln, and
companies d and II of the Fifth regi-
ment were sent TO guard it, About
