The garrison of of the fort was composed of lino Mam- - purs, hut tho onslaught of the British w as so lierco that the Manipurs lied in wild disorder.

THE DEAD BURIED IN ONE GEAVE Captain Loar and the Deputies in Danger of Assassination The Strikers Overawed by tho Militia. Moi st Plka.sa nt. l'a., April 4. Tho situation in the coko regions has not materially changed. The feeling pre-vails that so long as the militia re-mains there will lie no morn lawless-ness. Jt is feared that unless the strike is settled before they are called homo depredation will be renewed as soou as their backs aro turned. The feeling ainoug tho strikers is in-tensely bitter but they are careful to commit no overt act and content them-selves with scowling at tho militia, and murmuring In unintelligible tongue. Some apprehension is felt that an outbreak will occur at the funeral of ' the victims this afternoon. Tho strik-ers are massing at Scottdale and the largest demonstration ever held in the j country is expected. The funeral will Mart from Mount l'ieasa.it at 'Mi!) p. m. Tho cortege will reach Scottdale an anil a half later. The march to (hour 1 Catholic cemetery then will be up. Not less than ten thousand -- ... workers will follow the bodies to the gravo Tho bodies w ill be buried in a lonii trench dug this morning. Every precaution has been taken to prevent trouble. The saloons have been closed for the day. Five companies of the Eighteenth regiment, tinder com- - wand of Col. Smith are on tho ground. From ! o'clock yesterday morning until 10 o'clock today n line of foreign-ers, about one in ten of whom could speak F.nglish, filed around the bier upon which the dead lay. Sobs and groans were heard on every side. Crowds collected about the cloth-- j ing which the victims had last , . worn. Judging from their actions they " will prove vipers to the men who did the shooting. It is well known among tho citizens that the lives of Captain Loar and the deputies will bo in jeopardy should the militia be withdrawn. There is no doubt the strikers are determined to wreak vengeance eventually upon the people responsible for the death of their " countrymen. Tho streets are deserted, most of the Huns having quietly departed for Scott-dal- e during the night. The coke coin-Juin- y is not making any effort to get men to fill the places of tiio strikers. A peculiar feature of the situa- - " tion is that although tho men have been out of work over a month they still seem to have considerable money, and from outward appearance are not sufferinir for any-thing. In the Mt. Pleasant bank is a large list of depositors whoso savings range from $00 to $:i0OO. ( If this money - Very little has been withdrawn.

FWGERIES COMMITTED IN JAIL A California Com let WIi.m. Crot.r of Crime Ilil t Prison. By Mime nt range accident there has lieou discovered in San Qm-nti- rt crime as odd and uncommon as any that Gaborinu's fri?lo brain ever evolved. In the ordinary prisons it is usually prcuincd that once a criminal has been nifurely lodged within the wails his career of crime is end."! for at l.'a-- r th i term of his incarceration. Whi', ihU is not entirely true of the California it has heretofore managed to keep most of its occupants from tho commission of feloui'H of which other prisoners were tho victims. It remained for Convict C. It. V, a however, to distinguish himself in a way that no jailbird before him ever did, and by such ingenious improvement of the opportunities offered him as to mark San Qnentin an ono of the most uncommon jiridons in tho world. There is a great deal of uiiinageri.il method in the administration of affairs at Sail Qui'iitin of the kind that carping critics call red tape. Among the many forms which are rigorously carried out is that of having envelopes, which are intended to carry communications to the deputy warden, printed with, his name und title in full ujion the face. When unythiiig of importance had to )h communicated to the deputy it was invariably intrusted to a convict to in-sure it wife delivery. LSaehman, who is serving a long term for arson; Failing, life convict, and "Fat Jack" Kiiy, who hxs alxmt forty years' jienalty to pay for a felonious as-sault, .ill had access to the deputy war-den- 's niu.il. These three prisoners en-joyed tho privilege of reading all these imjiortaiit communications addressed to the deputy warden whenever it invited them to do so, and all because of those imposing and otilcial looking printed envelopes. A sujijily of the envelopes was easily purchasable. Whenever there was a letter intrusted to a convict messenger it fell into the hands of one. of the trio. It was quietly taken aside, tho envelojie torn ojxui, tho contents read and noted, and provided these critical readers found nothing objectionable iu tho tetter it was placed in one of tho extra envvlojies and delivered in dne form. In his mill, that is to nay the dejmty warden's jHii tion of it, Dachman one day discovered that an old man. Willi.iin Fhelpsliy name, who is serving a life term for murder, had several hundred dollars un in the warden's hands, Iiacbnian had been sn'inli'ig his money in a roval, siiendthrift wav, and found bis exchequer in a low ebb. Hero was a chance to recoup, and to jilay a stroke worthy of bis genius and ojiportuniues. He gained the confidence of the old man, told him he bad influential fricuds and promised to get him pardoned. Then tho clever firebug sent for a lawyer and told him of the case and interested hi in in Phelps. Later rj Bnchimui wive the Livyer ui. toiler l rht? wVi'Jen for considerable of.vootiey, with Pholjis' signature attached, and also a noto of approval bearing an ofucer'd signature. The order was tak"ii to the warden, who wrote a check far tho amount, and was about to give it to the lawyer when an officer standing by fcugg---'ste;- that it would be wise to .send for Phelps and (see if it was all right. The ofhV.T w:w not suspicious, but simply with bis surroundings. Phelps was sent for und denied ever having wrirfea tho order. It was ex-amined aud found to be a forgery. Then the t,fBcer who h.l'l approved the order was MimiiMTied, and do.iied as emphat-ically that he had .signed the note of ap-proval. This was also found to be 8 forgery. A little further investigation was sug-- 1 gented, and, allhotigh rather uiiprecte dented, w:us carried out, and it was' found that Baclmian was tho author of both of the forgeries.

Finally, he said: "I shall now simply wait further de-tails of the New Orleans affair; the ' characters of the slain men, of the Louisiana authorities and of the inten- - ' I tious of the United States government.

Theodore Havemryer Itafnre the Cninm of the New York Senate. New Yokk, April 4. The sugar trust was before tho committee of the state- - senate again today. Theodore Havemeyer of the American suirar re-finery company had nothing to do with the California refineries; there was noth-ing in tho report that the refineries were going to combine and raise prices; the cost of refining here was greater than in any other country. A letter was handed to the witness and he was asked to read it and tell what he thought of it. The letter was J... - addressed to tne chairman of the sugar trust investigation. It states that last week au agreement was entered iinto between the sugar trust and all tho American refineries of tho one part and all the principal wholesale grocers of the United States of tho second part; That the American reliuories are to pay the grocers cent jie'r pound, together ono per cent dis-count if bills for sugar are paid with ono week from the dale of sale. In return the grocers pledged them-lelve- s not to purchase any foreign re-fined sugar. Havemeyer said the whole thing was a lie. An Immense Shark.
