TROOPS CALLED OUT. According to the latest news the, Ashia copper mine riot has developed into a very serious disturbance and of such a nature as to require the services of the troops to restore older. It appears that the strikers who rer mained quiet on Tuesday night, resumed their disorderly tactics on Wednesday morning, when the workers in the Motoyama and Ariki pils were relieved. About 800 men who were to relieve the shift raided the Mots- yama pit office, smashed the windows, carried out chairs and other furniture, and then set fire to them. The office staff, according to a vernacular paper, "all fled." The strikers then attacked, the warehouses and specimen rooms, with a continual shower of stones, They also carried away all the provisions from the store-house, and ate their fill when, they felt inclined.
The strikers then formed into two bodies, ona parly proceeding to attack the store de partment office, where they wrought complete destruction, while the other party attacked the residence of Mr. Minami, bead of the mire, practically destroying the house, and burning all the furniture. The strikers seized Mr Minami, and severely assaulted him. A police sergeant who came to his assistance was also asrauited, being badly cut about the head, Tax 600,000 pounds of flour purchased by the
