LAREDO, May 1.-The miners al the San
Yomas coal mines walked out of the mines
at noon yesterday, and conference was
held with the perintendeDt, Mr.. W. l.
Giddins. They struck for $3.50 per ton
As they were only getting $40. They de.
nanded that the company pay
for the sharpening of the tools,
and also complained of the
weight made by the oompauy's
Reigher. Mr.. Giddins offered to increase
their pay to 81 80 if they would agree to
get out 800 tons per month increase with
the output of the mines. He refused to
meet their other demands or to pay their
blacksmith, but offered to allow them to
weigh their coal They would not com.
promise and the mines were shut down.
Twelve deputy sherifrs were placed in
charge of all the mines ANA the miners
given u hours to leave the com
pany's property. As yet, no trouble
IS reported. The company is expecting
a new lot of miners, and in less than ten
days the mines will be resumed.
General Hgnacio MARTINEZ, Mexican
revolutionist of frontier fame, formerly
of Matamoras and Brownsville, where
IA, published FL Mando, radical
anti-Diaz paper is in Laredo and, it is
said, will soon publish revolu-
tionary paper here. His plant is
now being shipped to this city
from the lower country. 1t is said that he
was the prime mover in the revolutionary
movement in the state of Tamauli pas,
Mexico near the cities Of Victoria and
Matamoras, but things were made too hot
for him there. The Mexican government
has taken cognizance of his arrival in this
city, and their new custom house is now
being guarded by a company of soldiers
presumably on account OF his proximity

WACO, May 1.-The democracy met IN
convention to day at the court house. IL
vVas soon evident that the man from the
forks of the creeks WAS in the majority
.and would influence the action of the
convention. The heart of oak plank was
the question of the hour.
Doctor Thomas Moore,
.chrirman of the county democracy, q
strong prohibitionist, called the conyen-
tiOn To order.
General Felix Robertson was made
chairman. Soon after the convention met
there was evidence of political fight on
tie prohib ion question, especially as
CLARK and Alexander we're reported as
having aaid that the prohibitionlsts would
have 10 eat crow to-day. This convention
was called TO send delegates to
che state convention at Fort Worth,
sRhere delegates will be e'ected to the
national democratic convention.
The following resolution, which was of.
etered by George Clark, was carried after
4 very heated discussions;
Resolved, That the political situation
al our state and the organization of par
Ii and factions hostile to the demOc-
rdcy demanded of the democratic party
an honest and explicit announcement Of
ats principles without subterfuge or
evasion, TO the end that effective party
discipline and organization may be main
tanned and preserved during the coming
campaign. We declare that our platform,
state and federal, should speak III no un
certain sound upon any public issue, and
the party should be aligned in
open antagonism to all species
ut protection in raising revenue;
20 all forms of federal aggression in
government, and the detrimeut of the Just
powers Of the states and of the people;
TO all kinds of monopoly, which always
enrich the few at the expense Of the
II any; to all forms of sumpt a'y logis
zion, including prohibition, which vex
The citizens and interfere with
individual liberty; to all paternalism
which would take from US the right to
concentrate the education Of our children,
aud to any further waste of our public
domain, which should be sacredly pre-
served as homes for orr people.
oar delegates to the Fort Worth con
vention are freely instructed to take
such action ut said convention as may, in
their Judgment, be bost adapted to secure
The adoption and PRONUNCIATION Of these
principles there and at st. Louis.
The convention by resolution endorsed

Coke.

since 1885 have fallen in this section since

removing to higher quarters. Trains
