VIOLENCE ALONG THE LINE.
The Lehigh Valley Strike Takes a
Serious Turn.


WILKEsBARRE, Nov. 26.-At midnight
violence was reported along the line of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad. At Sugar Notch
mob attacked the station and drove a
n0n-union operator from the premises.
The station was abandoned for the time
being. Burgess Shields of Sugar Notch
notified Sheriff Walters he was not in po-
sition to preserve the peace.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26.-Reports from
along the Lehigh road to-day show the
situation is practically unchanged, the
company running a good many trains at
irregular intervals, and the strikers max
ing lnroads among the new employees.
Both sides profess to be equally confident
of the result. Rumors of outbreaks either
lack subStantiation or particulars are want
ing.
A wreck occurred at Perth Amboy be-
tween two freight trains. by which En-
gineer Mallory. who was taking strikers to
the place. lost his life.
Advces from Buffalo indicate that the
strike is practically declared off there, but
Wilkesbarre still presents strong front,
and to-day the company had cause for con-
siderable complaint as the result of men
int ertering with attempts to move trains.
BUFFALO. n. Y, Nov. 26. AT midnight
the Lehigh Valley officials notified all the
connected lines at this point thar they
would accept freight for all points on the
Lehigh Valley road and the strike was a
thing Of the past.

ALMOST A CRISIS.
Trouble in the Spanish Cabinet Over
the MeliIIa Campai&n.

tuC IFtCiHId
MADRID. Nov. 26.-The negative result
of the conference at Melilla between Gen
eral Marcias and Muley Araat, the Sultan's
brother. nearly led TO Cabinet crisis. At
meeting of the Cabinet yesterday even
ing Minister of Finance Cameo declared
if the Minister of War main tanned that it
was impossible to Immediately commence
active operations against the Moors it was
evident the Minister ought to resign. Pre-
mier Sagasta opposed the idea of the Min
ister's resigning and concluded by asking
for time to thoroughly consider the matter
under discussion. Before the meeting of
the Cabinet. Minister of War Dominquese
informed some of his person al friends he had
determined to resign unless he was given
the chief command at Melilla while re-
tanning the portfolio of war during his
absence from Spain. 1t is announced,
however, to-day that Premier Sagasta sue
ceeded in averting crisis by inducing
General DOminquese to withdraw his de-
mand in favor of General Martinez Cam
pos, who was recently appointed to the
supreme command of the Spanish forces
operating against the M0ors. General
Martinez Campos declares he proposes to
start for Melilla tomorrow. He believes
the campaign will be short and decisive.
q General Martinez Campos has started
for Malaga. He will embark tonight for
Melilla with several generals and 1000 men.
He was enthusiastically greeted. All for
eign ambassadors of the great powers yes
terday visited the Spanish Minister of
Foreign Affairs. who gave them reassuring
declarations in regard to Spain's intentions
toward Morocco.

DESPERATE ROBBERS.
They Capture an Eastern Meat
Train by Force.
Eight Men Try to UncoupIe Cars and
Wreck the Express That Was
Following.

GOSHEN, Ind, Nov. 26-The first sec
tion of train No. 60, the fast meat express
between Chicago and New York. pulled
into this city last night with eight des-
perate robbers on board. Between this
city and Elkhart they made repeated ef-
forts to uncOuple number of cars with
the idea, it is believed. of wreckIng the
fast express train which passes here close
behind the meat train. No. 60 left Elkhart
at 1:23 this morning, and when mile
away the crew found eight men concealed
between the cars. The men made an
effort to uncouple the last ten cars. but
they failed after haru fight by the train
men. Five mile farther another attem pt
was made to uncouple the cars aud a Sec
ond fight resulted, which lasted until the
train was on the point of pulling into
Goshen. Conductor John Hckok and two
brakemen were badly battered in the
struggle.
The engineer whistled for assistance
and in few minutes two officers and a
crowd of citizens congregated at the train,
but the robbers made their escape, taking
with them the watches of several train
men and small sums of money. Late in
the night man giving the name of Henry
Zimmerman was arrested, and SO. the
amount taken from one brakeman, was
found in his shoe. William Cone was also
taken into custody. and $12, taken from
Conductor Hickok. was found upon him.
1t is believed by all the officials the men
intended to leave uncoupled cars on the
track, with the idea OF wrecking the ex-
press-train and plundering it. President
Newell has offered reward of $500 for
each bandit captured.

within few days there would be an out

employed have been very orderly. but they
are now desperate from continued destitu-

FIVE LITTLE REPUBLICS.
BarriOS Is Not Anxious to Become
Their Dictator.
DEFENDED BY HIS MINISTER.
1t Is Claimed That the President of
Guatemala Has Not Been
Rebuked.

NEW YORK. Nov. ga statement was
printed to-day which asserted that a
scheme is on foot in Central America for
revivlng the union of its five republics
Guatemala, Honduras. Nicaragua, Saliva
dor and Costa Rica-under the Presidency
Of Barrios. How the union was to be
effected was given in prolific detail. An
tonic Logo Arriaga, Minister to the United
States at Washington from the republic Of
Guatemala. who was at the Victoria Hotel
this evening, said of this assertion: There
have been no conferences looking to the
return to the union of the five repub blics, as
has been reported"
Arriaga. speaking of Guatemalan affairs,
said that they had been misunderstood in
this country. 1.-THE President of the re-
public" he said, has not declared himself
dictator and has not attempted to do SO.
The coun try is at peace and the consttu-
ton is in full force. What did occur was
this: We suffered as did the United States
IN rough an enormous depreciation in the
value of silver.
The Government was unable to meet Its
foreign obligations in gold. The Presi-
dent. in the interim of Congress, declared
that 25 per cent customs duties should be
paid in gold. and that interest on the ma
tional debt should also be paid In gold.
The constitutional body which represents
the Guatemalan Congress, when not in ses-
sion. is body which does not exist in the
United States.
'It was thought that the President had
exceeded his powers under the constitu-
ton and issued a call for an extra session
OF Congress. The minority party. how
ever. realize that the President had not
exceeded his constitutional power and that
his purpose was patriotic one. The re-
suit is that the scheme did not materializs
and Congress will not meet unless called
by the President himself"
