Only two men were released from custody to-day by the committee, S A VR a3 GOVERNOR PEABODY FIRM. Will Make Every Possible Effort to | Stamp Out the Dynamiters. DENVER, June 10.—Governor Pea- body made a statement to-day explain- ing the difference of martial law and military rule, such as is in effect in Teller County under his orders. “I have not declared martial law in any community in Colorado.” said the Governor. “I have only declared them to be in a state of insurrection and re- bellion, and the newspapers have used the term martial law in describing my proclamation. When a community is under martial law a provost guard is appointed and all prisoners are given military trial under this guard.

DENVER, June 10. — The following Teller County officials are exiles from their homes and will not return to Cripple Creek while the military is in control, owing to reports that the citi- | zens' committee, which is co-operating | with the military, intended to force them to resign their offices: District Judge W. P. Seeds, County Judge A. S. Frost, County Assessor P. J. Devault, County Treasurer D. J. McNeill, County Clerk F. P. Mannix. All of these officials except Judge Seeds are in Denver. “1 have not been asked for my resignation.” said Judge Frost to-day, “but I have heard that members of the mob which has taken control of the affairs of the county are after me, as well as the other county officials. I shall stay in Denver until after the militia has been withdrawn from the district. I have no idea of resigning, but it i1s impossible to do business properly and orderly in Cripple Creek under present conditions. Judge Seeds has telephoned me not to return to Cripple Creek until the military rule has been abolished. “The conditions in the district at present are such that I do not feel it best to attempt to hold any court there. I shall hold court here for a week for+ Judge Lindsey, who has gone East. It is known among all of the officials who have left Teller County that those of- ficials who were caught there were forcibly taken before a committee and were asked to resjgn their offices. They were asked to sit down at a table on which two ropes with the hangman's noose tied in the ends were lying.” Judge W. P. Seeds is at present hold- ing court in Kiowa County and will not return to thg Cripple Creek district for the present. IN EXILE. AT RS BURNS DEFENDS EMPLOYES. Says Men at Portland Mine Were Peaceable and Law-Abiding. DENVER, June 10.—In an inter- view published here concerning the closing of the Portland mine at Victor by order of General Sherman M. Bell, who is in command of the Tel- ler County military district, James F. Furns, president of the Portland Com- pany, said that nearly half of the Portland force were not members ot the miners’ union. “There were about 400 as good miners as ever handled a pick work- ing there,” said Burns. “They are, most of them, men with families, and they are neither law-breakers nor agi- tators. because he (Hd not belong to the union nor because he did. I wanted the best miners, and kept weeding out the poor ones without reference to unions. I am a firm believer in what they call ‘the open shop.” If other mine owners had adopted my plan there would not be an idle mine in the camp to-day and there would not be a disturbance worthy of the name.

Nathan of Pennsylvania, long a resident of Ta gler and who has just arrived in Lon- don, describes the situation in Morocco generally as being serious. He consid- ers that Perdicaris and Varley are in the gravest danger. As Raissouli simply a common bandit, the tribes men are quite beyond his control.
