Ono man in dead, anothui is thought to bo mortally wounded, and proporty valued at $250,000 ban been destoyed by giant powder and lire. Tho damage was done by union men and sympathizers from Canyon Ciuuk, nbout 20 miles from Wardner. This morning a mob of from 800 to 1,000 men, all of them armed and many of them masked, seized a train at Burke, at tl.o head ol Canyon creek. There wero nine box tars anil a passen ger coach, anil the.v were black with tho mob. Tho visitors brought with them 3.000 pounds of giant powder.

They sent pickets ahoad. and one of thos'o pickets 11 ml a rhot as a signal that tho mill was abandoned. This was misunderstood by tho main body of the mob, who imagined that non-union miners in the mills had opened flro on them, and they began firing on their own pickets, aimiui 1.000 shots weio thus exchanged be tween the rioters ami their pioketn, and Jack Smith, one of tho pickets, for merly of British Columbia, and a tinted flguio in drill contests, was shot doad. Tho fatal error was discovered after a few seconds' firing and Smith's body brought down from thu hillside.

The heaviest charge was placed among the machinery of the mill. Another charge was placed under the brick olllco building. Other charges wero plated uround the mill. Then thu boatding-houso, a frame structure, was fired. Fuses lead ing to the charges were lighted, and tho strikers carrying the dead body of thu picket, retired to a sale distance. At 2:30 P. M. tho fiist blast went off. It shook tho ground for miles, and buildings In Wardner, two miles away, trembled. At intervals of about 30 seconds four other charges went ou, the 11 f tli being the largest and com pletely demolishing the mill. The ioss to tho Bunker Hill & Sullivan Company is estimated from $260,000 to $300,000. In a few minutes tho strikers went back to the station, the whistle was blown for stragglers, tho mob goon climbed aboard and at 3 o'clock, just three houis after its arrival, tho train pulled out for Canyon creek. During tho fusillade from tho guns of the mob, Jim Chaynu, a Bunker Hill & Sullivan millman, was severely shot through tho hips.

Washington, April May 2. -TJieie is coiitideralik comment upon the man ner in which the adiniiiintrMioii Um handled the CoghlHti and Kantx affairs. I wa decided at Aikt to relieve Cttgh lau of tiie command of the Ra!lgh, but this wm reconsidered, and a repri mand wox addred to him. The president did not think the offline very grave, counidering that he went almnl the Raleigh and wa very chummy with the ottVtain. As to Admiral Kautz, it was first decided to incall him liooamte of his letter to his con In. This was modified to writing him a let ter caving kiich letters tended to bring ridicule on both himself and the gov ernment. The change in the program me is only explained by the belief that the administration blievtd it would bo more uiiopular to humble two gal lant naval olllceis than to havo thu Germans feel piqued. In this same connection, it may be said tlieie is every indication that the Germans or emtio other power tin fiicndly to tho United States has been encouraging the Filipinos. It in not holievod the latter have been carrying on tho war unaetiistod. It in certain that the Filipinos have found it easy to obtain ammunition, and Dewey's fleet lias not been large enough to patrol the ontire coast ot Luzon and cut oil the supply. TAKING NO RISK.
