Statement of Captain Hopkins Tho Vessel

BosToN, Feb. 14.-Captain Hopkins, of the
bark Mary Baker, from Miragone, Hayti, re-
ports:-On January %, off st. Nicholas mole,
northwest end of Hayti, saw an American man
of-war.
When first seen she was under steam alone
but she Immediately made sail and steered for
the east end of Cdba under both steam and sail
The steamer was very long and ship rugged.
The weather was fine at the time.
From the description of the steamer it was
supposed che might have been the Tennessee,
but as her course would have to be in the oppo-
site direction, it is concluded the vessel was
some other American man-of war cruising in
those waters.

END OF THE COAL STRIKE.
Grent ReioIcins Throushout tho Anthracite
Reaion-iDperatiVes and nIinerB.

SCRANTON, Pa, Feb 13.-Saturday was day
of universal rejoicing in this city, and, in fact,
throughout the anthracite coal regions, inaugu-
rated by the glad intelligence that the Grand
Council of the Workingmen's Benevolent Asso-
citation had at last signifed its Willingness to
allow the miners to resume work on the 10Th.
This edict, so long and anXiously looked for,
produced great and Intense excitement. From
early morn until far in the night, the principal
avenues were thronged with people representing
all classes.
The causes which led to this great strike have
been enumerated so often that TO repeat them
would be supeTfuous. There are some things,
however, developed during It's continuance
which may oe of interest to the reader.
Some time ago the miners in the five anthra-
cite counties, viz, SchuyllIill, Luzerne, Car
bon, Northumberland, and Columbia, formed
themselves into a union, similar to those of
other trades in New York This organization
was called the Workingmen's Benevolent Asso-
citation.
a Grand Council is elected yearly. This
council is composed of 81 members, who exer-
else control over one hundred thousand miners.
The council is invested with supreme powers,
and all questions arising in subordinate regions
are settled by it, and no matter how unfair or
unjust the decision may appear members OF the
Union are bound to submit without a murmur.
1t afforded opportunity for the exercise OF
undue authority, if Ii did not openly invite the
attendance of scheming operators who had axes
to grind and who understood thoroughly where
and when to strike.
In the Schuylkill region especially regular sys'
tenn was inaugurated there last year by its repre-
sentatives in the Council, which has been KEPT
up ever since. At times symptoms of open mu'
tiny became apparent, and many of the miner:
threatened to quit the concern, and openly tc
declare their sentiments regarding 1t, but the
inevitable gag was brought into Tequisltlon
and they were forced to submit quietly.
If conducted properly and fairly in the inte
| rest of the miners, the w. B. A. would be o
great advantage to them, but when it is run il
the interest of few, to the detrlment OF th'
many, then people here say 1t is curse ant
| should be abolished.
| Since the strike began business has beer
almost suspended OF course, there has alway
been plenty of money, but it has been locked ul
in few private safes.

THE NEPTUNE CRUELTIES.
Warrants Against Captain Peabody and His
mates-SLatements of the Victims.

warrants Against CAPTAIN Peabody and His
Mates-Statements of the Victims.
United States Commissioner Shields to-day
paid a visit to the frost-bitten colored sailors,
who allege that they are suffering on account of
the inhumanity of Captain Peabody and his
mates of the ship Neptune. There are eight
men in all in the Park Hospital. Six of these
men, those whose names have already been re-
ported, are in bed the other two are able to
sit up.
In answer to questions put by the Commits
sioner who had come to take the affidavits of
the men preparatory to issuing warrants against
the officers, Edward Reese, whose feet and
hands are in dreadful condition the little
finger Of his left hand having dropped off from
modification resulting from frost) said that the
captain and second mate had frequently struck
him, and made him do work when he was suffer
ing great agony from frozen feet and hands, and
that the captain always called him into the cabin
when he struck him, so that no one could see
him punished
William Oliver, another of the victims, COM
planned of similar treatment, and added that the
captain had often kicked him, and that he had
not been able to take his boots off for three
weeks. This mans feet were covered with a
kind of scum or mould the effects of frost and
constant wetting with salt water.
Francis Albon, Bermuda negro, was in a
terrible condition. His feet are paffed up and
swollen to at least three times their natural
size, and his hands are also in a bad condition.
His story is similar to that told by others; in
TACT, all tne men are IN SUBSTANTIALLY the same
condition and relate about the same story OF the
inhumanity of the captain and mates in making
them work when they were unable. All the
victims are extremely honest appearing men,
and do not talk nor appear like men who would
disobey orders or create trouble on shipboard.
The records of the crueltes alleged TO have
been perpetrated by Captain Peabody cover
pages of almost every United States Commis-
sioner's minute-book, are on record in the
Mayors office, and have filed columns of news
papers during period of many years, yet he
has never been convicted, it is said, owing to
his influence and wealth.
William Brown and another sailor, name un-
known, both white, have begun civil suits
against Captain Peabody, in the Marine Court,
to recover damages for crueltes alleged to have
been inflicted on them on board the Neptune.
Brown has also made an affidavit against the
captain and second mate, before Commissioner
Shields, alleging that the mate beat him, and
that the captain kicked him and threatened to
throw him overheard on several occasions
