Special Despatch to The EUening Telegraph.
WILKEsBARRE, Aug. 1S.-Reports from the
Schuylkill and Lehigh regions are to the effect
that general suspension is taking place. The
Union of this morning prints the following
latest advices from the Hazleton mines:-
Everything is quiet here for the present. The
strikers have made no demonstrations to prevent
the engineers from Wil1esbarre from entering
the mines. The pumps have been put to work,
and no danger to the mines or works is appre-
hended.
Parties interested in the German Company's
mines at Trescan, Carbon county, are asking
assistance which it is impossible to afford, the
location being outside the bailiwick of Luzerne
county. They require men and engineers to
put the pumps in operation, but will be obliged
to obtain aid of the Sheriff of Carbon county.
Since the arrival at Hazleton of Sheriff Read
affairs have assumed a more tranquil appear
ance, and while the laborers positively decline
to render any assistance to prevent damage to
the mining company's property, they refrain
from any breach of the peace.
Last night the Sheriff was reinforced by forty
policemen from Schuylkill county, but it is be-
lieved that their services will not be required to
maintain order.
Shippers find great difficulty in obtaining cars
for the transportation of their coal. Parties
having cars loaded will not give them up.
