undue excitement here today, but more
tbaa the usual "feu ruber of men have
been on the streets discussing the affair.
Beyond question, there is not a particle
of sympathy, for the ..desperadoes. 'All

served; yet, while .this feeling prevails
so extensively, it is a matter of very gen
eral regret that the. city, which hereto
fore has been so law-abiding, should be
brought into such unpleasant notoriety,
and ranch regret is expressed tthat "the
law was not allowed to take its course.
While the. jail was being stymied, Judge
Grayes and Major Frost made an effort
to get the militia company out, but so
J many people were camping in the moun
tains that they were unable to collect a
guard until ihe, affair was over. Jfo

able, and affairs are rapidly assuming

passengers arriving bv tbe.Oriental lin

agree in the statement that cholera is
working frightful havoc in Japan, the
newspapers of that country contain no
reference to the , devastations of the

that the disease finds its victims chief
ly among soldiers recently returned from

vantage of the law relating to the press
censorship to its fullest extents '
