rBY DUNLAP's CABLE ooMPANr.l
DUBLIN, May 10-Mr. Parnell addressed
q large meeting to-day at Mullingar, West
meath. At the masses in the various
churches in the district the priests warned
the people not to listen to the words of Par
nell, and even went 50 far as to beg
them to stay in their houses, so as to
keep out of hearing Of the proceedings. In
some cases the warnings had the desired
effect, but for all that Parnell had large
audience. He dealt with the land bill Of
Bslfour, which, he declared, deserved the
most favorable consideration OF the people,
as 1t was one of the most important which
had ever been produced, into Parliament for
the benefit Of the Irish tenants, and aimed
at final settlement Of the land difficulty.
The bill, be said, was modelled on pro-
possls he had made year ago, which were
not adopted BY Mr.. Balfour. Mr.. Sexton
was In favor OF the bill, but Mr.. HeAly and
some Of his friends were opposed 10 II. This
was an error on the part oi the latter, for

scoTrpALE, May 10.-To-day has been
another quiet Sunday in the coke region.
With the exception of two or three local
meetings the region is restingin q peaceful
mood. About the only hustling that is
being done is by the bosses. A number are
reported as out among the strikers trying to
induce drivers to return to work. This
kind Of labor they are sorely in need Of
Anyone known to be experienced with
horses can command most any price he
may demand. At the Leisenrings yester-
day numbers of miners were refused en-
ployment on account of not having haul
ers to take the coal from the mines.
Adjutant General McClelland left the re-
gion Saturday evening after inspecting the
Morewood and Central mines. 1t is reported
he intended visiting several other mines
Monday, but was given notice by the coke com.
panies that his and the labor agitators' pres
was not wanted and would not be tolerated.
The courtesy extended so far as permitting him
TO investigate the charges of cruel treatment at
Morewood and Central was considered suffi-
cient to convince him that the. charges were
false and made only to work upon the credu-
lity of the Governor.
The general managers and works superin-
teuuents Ieel qulIo encouraged to-day. 1ney
say unless agitators get around number Of
the men aud do mischief there will be great
mob of strikers for work tomorrow morning.
They claim numerous delegations visited the
offices Saturday evening and made application
for work. In every case they were employed
except at places where work is crippled for the
want of baulers. While these places are. Of
course, few, it is great drawback to the oper-
ators In their effort to break the strike. In
citing evidence that the strike Is going to
pieces, and that 1t will be over soon, an operator
said:
when you see men. during o strike. moving
from one works to another, you can safely say
the strike don't last and'that there Is general
disposition to give mp the battle. Last week
there were no less than 30 families moved from
one works TO another and went to work. The
object 10 possibly to lose their identity and
probably avoid the agitators In calling them

BALMAcEDA'S BAD FIX.

Is ABour WHIPPED.

hausted and He Has No Other Source Of
Ipcome-Rsassuring Financial Adviees
From St. Petersburg. d.. N
PARIS, May 10.-The Chilean Congress-
ional leaders here deny that the failure OF
the peace negotiations was due to the de-
mands of the Congressional party. Their
advices state that President Balmaceds,
after offering to treat, changed his mind
upon hearing of the sinking of the warship
Blsnco Encaiada, and made the publicity
given to the proposals of the Congressional
party an excuse for rupturing the negotia-
tions. The leaders OF the anti-Government
party say their losses on the sea will not
affect their final victory. The Congressional
party, according to tine same authority,
possess an organized army, which is about
to march upon Santiago. Even ifthe troops
be confined to threatening Inaction, Balms-
ceda must surrender within three months
because of the collapse of his resourceS
The $15, 600, 900 reserve which he held
prior to the insurrection 10 exhausted and he
has no sources of revenue. Fifty steamers
at Valparaiso laden with coal, which were
detained by order of Balmaceda, have now
been released under pressure from foreign
powers and are about to trade at ports held
by the Congressional party. These vessels
will load with nitrates, the duty on which
will bring the insurgents large sum. Al
though Godoy has tailed to raise for Bal
maceda loan in Europe, the agent of the
Congressional party has been promised
assistance here.
Reassurine ad vices have reached bankers
here from St. Petersburg regarding the in
tention of NJ. Vishnegradsky, the Russian
Minister of Finance, to withdraw the bal
ance held here and In London. Fearing
that a struggle with the great financiers of
London and Paris would imperil his own
position, as we'll as the finances Of Russia,
he has decided to permit to remain the
800, 000, 900 roubles in gold deposited In for
eign banks. Paris houses hold half Of this
amount The Minister'S decision ought to
relieve the financial tension.

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, May 10.-A des-
perate affray Friday night in saloon back
of Ft. Sam Houston, in which one man lost
his life and several others were injured, was
followed yesterday by the wreck of the place
by mob of soldiers. The place was known
as the Grand Central Bar and was kept by a
man named Steinart, formerly private of
the Nineteenth Infantry. A party of five
privates OF troop K, Third Cavalry, entered

Steinart. Prescott struck Steinart in the

pistol in hand, but was seized and dis
armed He then ran behind the counter

wrench, with which he struck PRESCOTT on
the head. The point of the wrench was
buried in the skull, and Prescott died at 10
this morning. Steinart Knocked down three
out OF the four men remaining and made
good his escape.
After roll call q party of 150 soldiers
stormed his place looking for him. He was
not there and they proceeded to wreck the
house, smashing the mirrors, spilling the
liquor, kicking out the doors and windows

CONVENTION WITH SPAIN.

Some Of the Provisions Of the Agreement
Negotiated by Mr.. Foster.
: MADRID, May 10.-General John w.
Foster, the American reciprocity envoy,
having failed in his negotiations for gen.
eral treaty between Spain and the United
States, suggested q secret treaty, which also
failed to meet the approval of the Span
ish- Ministry. He therefore agreed to
conclude simple convention on the basis
O'Donell proposed for treaty. This con-
vention necessarily comprises Q double
tarif-the first commencing on July /, and
enduring till the Spanish treaties with other
powers are snnulled in July, 1892, when the
second comes into operation. The conven-
tion provides for the free entry into the
United States of sugar, honey, cocoa, coffee
and skins from the Spanish West Indies;
tobacco and iron ore paying the duty ex-
acted by the new United States tariff. In rx-
change Spain's colonies in the West Indies
are TO receive American coal, ice, wood,
boots, shoes, fresh and salt meats and fish,
either free or under small duty, while butter
and drippings are entirely exempt, and the
duty on -four is reduced from $3 30 to 81 per
barrel with the same reduction on corn.
The tariff on drygoods and husbandry
machinery will afford the United States no
material advantage till 1892, because any
privileges accorded will be reaped by Great
Britain. France, Germany and Belgium
under favored nation" treaties, thus in
juring Americas future interests. Compe-
tent authorities calculate that Cuba will
suffer a reduction in customs receipts of
$500. 900 monthly under the convention.

The old man was questioned about the

COUNCIL BLUFFS, May 10.-Much
trouble Is expected to grow out OF disputed
claims to land on Cutoff Island, which lies
between this city and Omaha. Formerly
this land was on the Iowa side of the Mis-
souri, river. A change in the river put the
land on the Nebraska side. Among the heavi-
est claimants is Byron Reed. of Omaha. The
United States Supreme Court has suit be-
fore it to settle the dispute as to which State
the land belongs. Lately quite number OF
people have moved upon. the disputed terri
tory, and most of these have come from the
Iowa side, as the land has been incorporated
BY this city and has also been afforded police
protection. Yesterday Reed had a number
of writs issued to evict the settlers from the
land and four families were thrown out Of
their homes.
They have also been refused perm ission to
remove the dwellings, they have erected or
to tear them down. It is expected that a
dozen or more evictions will follow. Th ose
thrown out of their homes last night cam ped

Almost the only things definitely known

Peretti refuses to disclose the names Of
