ARE MOVED DOWN
BY MACHINE GUNS
200 Nitrate Works Strikers In Chill
Killed.

Washington, D. G. Especially .---Ac-
cording to advices received at the
State Department from Consul Hanna
at Iquique, Chill, 200 laborers en-
ployed near there in the nitrate
works we're killed on Saturday and
Sunday In an encounter with the
government troops
The nitrate deposits are located
In another district, and for a week or
more there has been trouble or an
economic character between the men
and their employers, which resulted
In a strike.
On Saturday the men to the num-
Der OF several thousand came into
Iquique and attempted to take pos
session Of the town. The troops were
called into service and when the riot
ers refused to dlsperse the soldiers
were ordered to fre on them, which
they did with machine guns, causing
much loss OF life.
On the following day, which was
Sunday. the strikers again assembled
in Plaza Prat and listened to inceti-
diary speeches by their leaders, de-
nouncing their employers and encour-
Another bloody encounter ensued in
which many of the workmen were
killed or injured. II is also report
ed that some of the soldiers were In
jurel, but details cannot be obtained
owing to the strict censorship main
tained. The Chilean government, ac-
cording to the departments advices
at the time the dispatch was sent, was
preparing two cruisers and a trans
port with soldiers to go to the scene
of the disturbance. Although the
situation Is serious, 1t Is believed
that the government will be able to
handle II successfully.
The nitrate deposits are leased by
the Chilean government chiefly to
British and German companies, which
employ the native population almost
exclusively, with the exception Of
overseers and foremep so far as
known no American interests are In
volved, although It is believed that
some Americans are employed In the
capacity Of superintendent and In
executive positions. II is not likely.
therefore, that an Americon warship
will be sent to Iquique.
The Washington and the Tennes-
see, comprising Admiral Sebree's
special service squadron, passed up
the Chilean coast o week ago and
are now in Mexican waters, The
nearest ship is the gunboat Albany,
which is now at Panama, but as she
is a small boat, would be of little
service II the trouble should continue
to be serious. Although the strike
is said to be based on economic ques-
tions, there is some fear that 1t may
take a political turn, as some of the
leaders have been advocating revolu-
tlon.
