Miners^ Shot Down t?fke Dogs. MOKE THAN A DOZEN KILLED. v Haselton, Pa , Sept 10 -The strike situation reached a terribie crisis on the outskirts of. Latimer this afternoon, when a ba:id of deputy sheriffs fired into an infuriated mob of miners. The raen fell like so many uheep and the excitement t?ince bas been so intense that no accurate figures of the dead and wounded can be obtained Reports ?ran from 15 to 20 odd killed and 40 or more wounded. Many of these will die.. One man who reached the scene to night coast ed 13 corpses Four other dead lie in the mountains between Latimer aodH&rleigh. Those who were not injured carried their dead and wound ed friends into the woods and esti? mate is baffled. The strikers left Haselton at 3 30 o'clock this afternoon, announcing their intention ta go to Latimer As soon as: this became koown, a band of deputies was loaded on a trolley car and sent whirling across the mountain to the scene of the bloody conflict which followed After reaching Latimer they left the ear and formed into three compa nies, under Thomas Hall. E A Hessel and Samuel B Price. They drew up in line at the edge of the V village, with a fence and a line of houses in their rear. Sheriff Martin was in command and stood- in the front of the line until the strikers approached They were seen coming around the ridge/ I and Martin went out to meet them The men drew up sullenly and Hs tened in silence until he bad once more read the rio? act. This finished, a low muttering arose among the foreigners and there was a slight Movement forward. Perceiving this, the sheriff stepped toward them and, in a determined tone, forbade their advance. Some one struck the sheriff, and the nest moment there was a command to the deputies to ?re. The guns of the deputies in? stantly poured forth a terrible volley. The strikers were taken entirely by surprise, and as the men hoppled and ., fell **Vt>r each other, those who re? mained uuL^.rt stampeded. The men [ went down before the storm of bullets lOre tenpins, and the groan s of the dy?R3? and wounded filled the air Tbs* ?xe itemed that followed was simply indescribable The deputies seemed to be terror-stricken at the deadly execution of their guns, and seeing the living strikers fleeing and the others dropping to the earth, they went to'the aid of the unfortunates whom they had brought down. - M ,ir?T BRADSTREET'S REPORT New York.

Fleet Manoeuvres of tl North Atlantic Squadron. Fort Monroe, Va , Sept. 9.-T Dolphin returned to day to Hampt Roads, with Assistant Secretary Roos ve I:', who has just completed an inspt tion of the North Atlantic squadron sea while under full fleet maooavri This is the first inspection made recent vears under such conditions, ai the results were highly ?atisfaotor Under the eye of the assistant secreta an extensive programe of exercises w successfully executed in a limited peri of time. The Dolphin reached the southe drill grounds Tuesday foreooon, ioinit the squadron while the ships were sub calibre practice. This was sc pended by Admiral Sicard upon b learning of Mr. Roosevelt's desire witness heavy gun practice, and tl battleship Iowa was designated to fi her batteries in the presenoe of the a sistant secretary, who was taken aboai for the purpose. The praotioe was e: ceilent and from the big 12-ioch gui down to the little machine guns tl battery worked without serious hite and splendid target shots were mad The cruiser Brooklyu was next pi through ber paees and ran up and don the firiog line, making good practice ; the distant target. In the evening tl flagship New York repelled an imag nary attack by torpedo boats, using h< searchlights and ber secondary batter with great effect. Following came searchlight drill by the entire squadroi making a most beautiful and uoiqa spectacle. Night signa'ling with tb Ardois system of colored electric light closed the day's work and the squadro passed thc night at anchor on the dri grounds, thirty miles east of the Vii ginia Capes. SQUADRON MANOUVRES. Yesterday's programme inolii'le squadron maneouvres The ships ?C under way early, on signal from th New York, forming in column &ri passing in review to and fro before th Dolphin, which remained at. anchor The beginning of the exercises wa preceded by the release of a flock o ten carrier pigeoons bearing message to the Norfolk navy yard. Th squadron made a magnificent show a it came past the Dolphin, with the grea battleships dearing tbe long swells witt resistless power and showing the big guns and men at quarters on the side Single column, double column, forma tion en echelon, wheels to right ant many other combination movement! werejattempted with splendid precision and the manner in wbicb the seven big ironclads maintained their positions ic Hoe while unde cruising spaed, going through these complicated movements earned the uosinted praise of the assist ant secretary. A NOVEL FEAT?RF of the day's manoeuvres was the use, for the first time io any navy, of Japa daylight fireworks as a means of signal, ling, a system which is being developed to meet the emergenay that might fol? low the loss in . action of the signal mast or the hiding of a ship by snnke In the afternoon the commanding officers of the squadron were enter? tained at tea by Mr. Roosevelt on the Dolphin, and the gathering ef seven of the ablest officers of the navy aboard ship at sea afforded an opportunity for an exchange of valuable professional views as to the qualities of the ships they command. In the evening Admi? ral Sicard entertained Mr. Roosevelt at dinner aboard the flagship and Wednes? day closed with another display of night signalling and searchlight work. The Dolphin left tbe squadron next moroiog at sunrise, stopping off Cape Henry to permit of an inspection of the monitor Puritan, which was pot through great gun practice for the pur? pose of affording a comparison of ber hydraulic turret mechanism with the electric system of the Brooklyn and the stearn gear of the other ships. Io summing the results of his inspec? tion of the squadron, Mr Roosevelt said : "The trip has been in every way more than satisfactory. The target practice under service conditions, the fleet manoeuvres, thc practice with the searchlights at night in discovering and sinking drifting targets, have each and ali been dooe io a way which reflects very high credit upon the admiral, bis captains and their officers and crews. The signalling both at night and in the day time, including the day signals with the Japanese fireworks, has been excellent The rapity and precision of the praotioe with the rapid-fire guns and the extraordinary accuracy with whioh the huge turret guns were fired were equally noteworthy. There were several matters of less importance, like the successful use of carrier pigeons, whioh also deserved comment. "In short, there is every reason to be satisfied with every detail of the management of the huge warships, from the conning towers to the eogine rooms and gun turrets. This is the first time that such a squadron of; modern ironclads bas ever been under j command of an American admiral;! indeed it is the first time in peace ihat ! an American admira! has ever com- ! manded a squadron relatively PO formid ; able compared with the warships of other powers At last we arc begin? ning to have a navy fit to uphold the I interests of our people-a navy which, j though loo small in size, need fear comparison with no other as regards the quality of its ships and men.'' Jacob A. Cook, a prominent farmer of Orangeburg County, was killed on Saturday by being thrown from his; buggy by a runaway horse. i New Orleans Scared. NEW CASES REPORTED IN SEVERAL GULP TOWNS. New Orleans?, Sept. 10 -The an? nouncement of twelve auspicious cases 00 one square in the c'ny and that three cases had developed since the death of a young lady who had come fro OJ Oeeao Springs, created a large measure of alarm in the public miod early in the day, bot this was allayed wben the facts became koowo. At nightfall all reports received by Dr. Oliphant were so favor? able that renewed confidence was infus? ed in the officials of the board. Just before the board met, Dr. Oliphant said to a reporter of the Associated Press : "There is marked improvement io the situation io the State I may state unofficially that ail the patients tn the St. Claude street square are better. ? Lad not received a report from the board of experts but I have learned from our inspector who is assigned to the prem? ises, thar, apparently none of the patients is at present in danger. I 1 am able to say that no other case has been brought to our atteotion in New Orleans, the symptoms of which would justify U9 in classing it as suspicious. This rooming a part of doctors and of? ficials left here over the Illinois Central for Memphis and will return via the Mississippi Valley. They will stop at all intervening places to make known the exact status of affairs, seeking to allay the fear3 of people io order that a panic in the country may be prevented and the imposing ot unreasonable q .ir antioe restrictions raised." It is hoped that this visit of the offi? cials, in whom the public have confi? dence, will have the effect of checking undue restraint cf trade. Surgeon Murray, of the Marine hos? pital service, stated to-night that Ocean Springs from now on would be the official headquarters for the entire gulf coast Marine hospital service, and the camp of detention will be at Fontain? bleau, three miles from the Gulf Those who are taken to (be camp will be held nominal prisoners for ten days, and, if at the expiration of that time they show no signs cf affliction, they will be provided with government health certificates and permitted to go wherever they Dlease. One hundred and forty people, white and black, io Oc?an Springs, by actual count, are in distress, many being io extreme want of medicine and provis? ions Not a pound of food uor an ounce of medicine has been given to any one except by private citizens who already have been heavily taxed. Sisters of charity have applied to the authorities to be allowed to ourse the sick. The fever has not spread west be? yond Biioxi. The most effective quar? antine measures are in force and if the disease is not held in check at Biioxi. Oceao Springs and Scranton, it will i not be because the authorities have lacked in vigilance Biioxi is appealing'for medicine, and the situation in the town is apparently growing steadily worse Miss Lswis, who is in the city limits, was declared to have black vomit after Dr. Tackett bad made a microscopic examination. Frank Emory, son of the Methodist preacher there, was late tbis afternoon reported down with yel? low /ever. The bouse aod inmates are quarantined and the yellow flag is fly . iog. Mayor Howard to-day issued orders that the flags should be displayed wherever yellow fever was found, and a correspondent telegraphs this afternoon tbat the yellow fever flag is now con? spicuous in Biioxi. Mayor Howard has determined that all physioians shall promptly report all cases, under severe penalties for failure. Now, that the worst is koown, it is desired that no facts shall be concealed. To day it was learned that a number of people who have been quarantined in the Barataria canning factory at Point Cadet, near Biioxi, were In need of provisions and Mayor Howard sent them relief. There are no suspicious cases in Mobile and the general health there is shown by the board of health records to be better than for the past five years. The line of defense for Baldwin county, as well as for Mobile county, is complete, and a coast guard has been added in the lower bay. Natchez, Miss., to-day. included New Orleans in the lists of infected points against which a rigid quaraotioe is being enforced and the shotgun guard is in evidence all around the city. The steamer Natchez, from here, passed there this morning witb several Natchez people among her passengers, but none of them was permitted to land. The Riohmond Dispatch says apropos of the recent attack on tbe widow and daughter of Jeff Davis : "Mrs. and Miss Davis have never intended to make their homes io the north. Basiness af? fairs carried them there in the first place, and business interests have kept them there ever since Both of them have been adding to their incomes by literary work-and this work they think they can do there moro advantageously than in the south. A further discus? sion of this matter would require us to go into details of the family's finances, which should be sacred to the members thereof, and into which the public has no right to enquire Suffice it to say that monetary reasons, together with j considerations as to Mrs. Davis's health have thus far kept the mother and daughter in the North." Thirty Were Killed AND NEARLY TWO HUN? DRED SERIOUSLY IN? JURED. Newcastle. Col , Sept.. 10 -The worst wreck in the history of Colorado .ocarred at 12 25 this morning on the Denver and Rio Grande and the Colo? rado Midland railways one and a half miles west of here After 12 hours incessant working by wrecking crews in clearing away the debris and recov eriog the bodies of tbo^e who perished, it is impossible ti more than estimate the loss of life, and not even those known to be dead have bees identified. Many of the unfortunates will never be known and it is possible that the nam ber killed will always be io doubt. From the best information obtainable folly 30 persons are believed to have perished, while 185 were taken out of the wreck suffering from serious injuries. The wreck was caused by a head-end collison between a Denver and Rio Grande passenger train running at the rate of 40 miles an hour, and a special Colorado Midland stock train running at 30 miles So terrific was the con? cussion that both engines, baggage and express cars, smoker and day coaches and two stock cars were totally demol? ished and the track torn up for yards io both directions. To add to the horror of the scene the wreck caught fire from aa explosion of a pintsch gas tank on the passenger train and burned so rapidly that many passengers pinned beneath the debris were burned tc death before help could reach them. The most generally accepted theory as to the ciase of the wreck seems to be that Conductor Burbank of the Mid? land special, anticipating the time of the passenger, undertook to steal a station and beat the passenger into Newcastle. Burnbank escaped unin? jured, and upon orders from Coroner Clark has been placed under arrest by by the sheriff. Midland Engineer Ostrander is missing, and a thorough search about his engine fais to revea any vestige of his remains. It is thought that when he saw the threat ened danger he jumped from bis en? gine, and realizing the result of his negligence, took to the hills. J. H. Stephenson, a White Man, Charged With Out? raging a 13-Year Old Child. The State Sept. 12. J. IT Stephenson of Camden, a white man 40 years old, was bronght to the penitentiary last night for safekeeping. He is charged with outraging a 13 year-old child of that place. His vic? tim was a half-witted girl whose confi? dence he had won. She was frequent? ly sent to bis store for articles by her parents Oo>- several occasions they noticed that she brought back small trinkets for herself, which she would say were given her by Stephenson for keeping his store while be stepped out OD Thursday the child went to the store aod on her return brought several things back which she said Stephenson had given her. The suspicion of the child's father was aroused .by several circumstances and he questioned his daughter closely. His worst fears were realized. The child confessed that Ste? phenson had betrayed her confidence. This in the eyes of (he law, is a hei? nous crime on account of the age of the victim. Stephenson was arrested yesterday morning and pat in jail As the faots became known feeling ran high and there were open threats of lynching Some urged a speedy trial as court was theo in sess:oo, but the grand jury had been dismissed and the general sessions adjourned sine die The presiding judge bad no power to call what would have been an extra session of the court without an order from the supreme court Oa learning this the people talked more strongly of lynching. Judge Klugh advised that the prisoner be brought ' to Columbia. Deputy Sheriff J. F. Bateman quietly removed .Stephenson from jail and boarded the Sooth Carolina and Georgia train. He arrived here safely last night with his prisoner. No attempt was made to molest him on his way here Stephenson was seen last night after his arrival by a reporter for The State. He was much agitated and could not talk lucidly. He first refused to have anything to say, but after a little began. He could not complete a sentence be? fore breaking in with "I ought not to talk." What he said was unintelligi? ble. Mr. W. D. Trantham ba'? been em? ployed to defend him. Mr. M. L. Smith will assist the prosecution. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Special to The State. Camden, Sept. ll-Mr. J. Haile Stephenson, a merchant of this place, was arrested this morning charged with comenititog a criminal assault upon Jessie Arrants, the 11-year old daugh ter of Mr. J. B. Arraots. Naturally there was considerable excitement over j the arrest, and later in the day Srephen j was spirited away from the jail by the j sheriff and taken to Colum- j bia. Judge Klugh granted an order j consigning him to the suprintecdent of j the State penitentiary for safe keeping, | 3s it was feared that there might possi bly be an effort ir-.ade to lynch him.

Strenuous Efforts Being Made to Thoroughly Clean City. New Orleans, Sept 12.-Shortly before noon today the board of * health officially declared six of the suspicious cases of fever on St. Claude street to be yellow fever A couple of hours subsequently the board announced another pronounced case of yellow fever at Miro and Es? planade streets, also in the lower part of the city, but a mile or more * away from the infected square. The announcement of the first six cases J as yellow fever was not unexpected/^^ although it was boped from the delay on the part of the experts that these cases.were simply of billious malana. No general alarm has resulted here, although .the news rapidly spread : through the city. The authorities do not believe that the situation is ma? terially worse than it was four or five days ago, and they are still confideDt of their ability, with modern sanitary appliances, to successfully quarantine the infected districts. The official bulletins of the board of experts, declaring the St. Claude street case to be yellow fever, was received by President Oliphant soon after ll o'clock. Dr. Oliphant im? mediately sent for members of the press and gave out the report, which was signed by Drs Lemonnier. Tou atre, Bickham, Petit and Parham, of the board of experts, and Dr. Devron, the attending physician. Of the original 12 cases, all of which had their origin from a case that had come from Ocean- Springs, the six other than those reported to-day as yellow Tever were an? nounced this afternoon to be practi? cally wei!, up and walking about their homes Of the six pronounced , yellow fever cases, four are conva? lescent and two were delared critical? ly ill, one of these having suffered a ; relapse since yesterday. Among the suspicious cases re? ported yesterday was that of a boy named Roy, living at Miro and Es? planade streets. Drs. Lemonnier, Tonaure and Matas were sent to make an observation of the case This af? ternoon they pronounced it to be un-, questionably yellow fever, and as having apparently had its origin in Scranton, Miss . or in the vicinity of that town. As Soon as the report was received the board of health took charge of the house, quarantined the inmates, placed guards so that no one might come within close proximity to the premises, and set to work to thoroughly disinfect the neighborhood A brother of the pa* tient who bad left the premises some time before the official announcement, was given a permit to return, but orders were issued that under no cir? cumstances to let him or any member of the household again leave the premises.

Havana, Sept. 12.--Later official de? tails of the oaptcrv of Victoria de las Taoas by the insurgents show that the garrison stationed there consisted of 350 men, 135 of whom were ren? dered unfit for duty by illness. The town was first attacked oo August 14th with a brisk musketry fire, and on the 26th the insurgents laid siege to the place? Oa the night of the 27th a heavy fi>e of musketry was main? tained by the enemy aad'tbe next day their artillery opened fire, destroying the barracks, hospital aod a great parc of the town. The insurgents took pos? session of the ruins of the town oe the 30?h, when the military commander, three officers and 75 soldiers surren? dered, on coLdition that they be al? lowed to retain their arra? ?nd horses and be sent to Holgoin. Tae remain? der of the troops of the garrison who nae previously laid dowe their arms have it is believed, been sent to Juerto Principe, as it was agreed that the soldiers who were disabled by reason of wounds or iilness should be trans? ferred to the oearest hospital. The heavier guns of the garrison were rendered unfit for use after fifty shots had been fired from them, and their Mauser rifles and all the ammuni? tion in the place were made of no use to the insurgents before the surrender. The offioial reports say the insur? gents admit the loss of over a hundred killed, whose bodies were cremated. According to the same authority, the prisoners taken at the time of the cap? ture of the town, who have been re? turned, s-.y the insurgents, despite their victory, arc low spirited and do not taik hopefully of the future, but are preoccupid by their great loss.
