it will relieve temperance people

Threatened Strike of Miners.

PITTsBURG, PA, April 28.-Min-
ing troubles in the Hooking Valley,
Ohio, are increasing, and bitter feel.
ing against the operators has sprung
up in that region. On Saturday a
circular addressed to the miners in
the Hooking Valley was circulated
by the Columbus and Hooking Coal
and Iron Company and the Ohio Coal
Exchange. This circular states that
the markets of those operators have
been taken from them by Pittshurg
coal. The Indiana Block coal mines
having accepted reduction of Is
cents per ton, the Hooking Valley
operators cannot compete. The cir
cular holds that various other points
in Ohio are enabled by lower rates
for mining to shut out Hooking Val.
ley coal; therefore, the operators
claim, they must have reduction in
the price of mining, or be compelled
to shut down their mines during the
summer. The men have held meet
ing and decided to strike rather than
accept a reduction. The operators
have threatened to import Hungar-
ians and Italians, and the men de-
clared that no foreigners will be al
lowed in the mines. If strangers are
taken it is feared there will he trouble,
as the sympathy of the people is with
the miners.

all be elected to the Presidency. Go
which way you will, you will find
ardent adherents of each candidate,
and every one has what he considers
an unanswerable argument that his
man will win the prize. This ofcourse,
is very much the case all over the

The Sale of Cuba,

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The re-
port published in New York this
morning that negotiations are pend

Spain and Mexico, looking to the
transfer by the former to the latter of
of the Island of Cuba. contingent
upon the agreement Of the Cubans,
expressed by a plebiscite, to the
transfer, and upon the obtaining
from the United States of guaran-
tee of the payment by Mexico of the
purchase money, is discredited at the
Spadish and Mexican legations in
this country.
Senior Valera, the Spanish minis
ter, said tonight to an Associated
Press reporter that the story was un.
reasonable and absurd, "Spain," he
said, "would never consent to part
with Cuba, unless that island were
wrested from her by force. National
pride would not permit her to give it
up otherwise. Even should there be
revolution in Spain which would
result in the overthrow of the pres
ent government and the substitution
Of the most radical system ofgoYern-
ment in its stead-eyen should Spain

Thought. consent to give up Cuba"
He said he had received advices from
Madrid to-day in reference to various
matters, among others to Cuban af-
fairs, but nothing indicating any
such intention on the part of the
Spanish government as that with
which this report credited it.
Senior Romero, the Mexican minis
ter, thought. national pride would
not permit Spain to sell Cuba, and
he had no intimation from his gov.
eminent that they wanted to buy it.
He said he had never heard anything
about selling Cuba, except that at
one time some years ago it was said
that negotiations were pending for
its sale to the United States.
