Twelve men are known to be dead and nine in jured as the result of yesterday's fighting. The dead include nine guards at Forbes, Mnjor Lester of the hospital corps, and two strikers at Walsenburg. The wounded are three strikers, three guards at Forbes, Lieut. Scott and two privates at Wal senburg. Reports indicated that three others are dead at Walsenburg, and that three strikers are slain at Forbes but this rumor has not been con firmed. But for the coming of the regulars there would have been a terrible carnage as the militiamen had been surrounded by the strikers and were being subjected to a cross fire. A detachment of the fifth cavalry, 440 strong, arrived about 8 a. m., un der command of Major Holbrook. The latter declined the offer of the oper ators to use the military armory, say ing the federal troops would be ab solutely neutral.
