A SERIOUS BLOW.
Spain Abrogates an Important Clause
of the Reciprocity Treaty.

Spain Abrogates an Important Clause
of the Reciprocity Treaty.
From recent advices received at the
Department Of State 1t appears that our
reciprocity treaty. under which our export
trade with the Spanish West Indies has 30
prospered. is doomed. and this. too. by the
act Of the Spaniards themselves. The de-
partment has been informed that the Span
ish government has caused to be introduced
in the cortes an act. to take effect July l..
authorizing Cuba and Porto Rico to collect
transitory duty of "a per cent on all ar
ticles now on the free list Of the reciprocity
treaty.
This will be serious blow to exporters in
the United States. falling upon the pro-
ducers of raw materials a. well upon
manufacturers: The principal articles that
will be affected are building stone. ice, coal,
rosin crude petroleum. tiles and brick. iron
IN many forms, such as scrap. cast and
wrought: builo1ng forms and rails. wire,
nails. screws and ordinary manufactures.
raw cotton, cotton seed and oil, tallow,
books, woods of all kinds. barrels and boxes
and manufactures. agricultural implements
and trade tools. machinery, railroad equip
ment, preserved meats, lard and butter,
cheese, fish. oats. barley. rye and buck
wheat, starch and corn products. fruits.
vegetables and garden produce, hay, straw
and bran. trees and tan bark.
All of these articles are now free and II
the bill passes. and it is expected it will
pass, all must pay "a per cent duty.
The action Of the Spanish government Is
not an infraction of the treaty. for in a let
ter closing the negotiations. written by the
Spanish minister to Secretary Blaine. June
S, 1891, it was expressly stipulated by him
that the right was reserved to the cortes
and to Congress to modify or repeal the
treaty whenever they think proper. Save
in the case of the Brazilian reciprocity
treaty, all Of Secretary Blaine's reciprocity
treaties contain a similar reservation, and
officials who are concerned in the fate of
these treaties apprehend that the action of
the Spanish government in destroying the
most valuable schedule in the treaty may
be followed by other nations. and thus al
most destroy the entire system.

MORE MINERS AT WORK.
Gratifying Improvement In the Mary.

tpecid Dispatch to The Evening Star
FROSTBURG. Md. June 11.-State's At
torney Sloan and Sheriff King have all
along considered this morning q critical
point In the strike II the men went to
work In any numbers today. they pointed
out, there would be probabilities that the
strike would be broken. If they did not 60
% work today, then the presence Of the
military was not accomplishing anything
accordingly. the mine bosses were anxiousy
awaiting the coming of the men.
Soon after o'clock Superintendent Ran
oolph telesraphed to Gen. Douglass and
Cen Brown that there had been a consider
able increase in the number of miners going
20 work in all the mines. Later in the day
the increase was approximated as follows:
Eckhart. 2; Hoffman, q; Allegany D. This
completes the rosie, at Allegany and gives
Them full mine. with sixty miners, again.
Eckharts figures are raised from ninety

thirteen. This Is thought to be very en-
couraging

ing to their number, the men giving the
workmen up for fear of resistance They
were brought here this afternoon and re-
turned to their homes at Leisenring.
When fourd they were still bearing plac
ards and were chalk-marked from head to
foot. Just what torture they were subject
ed to after the battle yesterday and last
night is not yet known here. but they We're
a worn and haggard looking lot when res
cued. They were taken away from Lemont
yesterday while the trouble was in progress
and marched to Cool Spring. where they
were turned over to the strikers from the
Stewart iron works, and there kept and
paraded until the leaders learned that the
officers had located them. Then they were
taken to the southern end and handed over
from one crowd to another till landed into
the strikers camp at Kyle. The deputies
got on to their whereabouts by little ex-
ira paradine. and, having search-warrants,
went to rescue the imprisoned workmen.
The kidnapping is denounced on all sides,
even by the friends of the strikers, as the
most atrocious and flendish act in the his
tory OF the movement, and the fact that
the prisoners were Americans is turning
public sentiment more strongly against the
perpetrators.
The deputies are now collecting evidence
in the case and many arrests will be made
as soon as they can be identified. 1t is es-
tmated that not less than 500 strikers
handled the workmen from the time they
were capturd at New Haven until they
were rescued today. The workmen will be
able to identify their captors, and will not
fear to appear against them.
The southern end of the county was the
scene Of much depreciation last night A
delegation of strikers visited the banks on
Georges creek, where part of the coal be-
ing shipped over the new state line road is
mined, and burned up and broke the tools
and wheelbarrows into kindling wood. Not
being satisfied with this. they tore out the
support at the entrance to the banks and
caved in about twenty feet.
A jury has been impaneled by Coroner
Batten to hold an inquest on the body of
John Mokaff, the Slav killed in yesterdays
battle, and a searching investigation will
be made OF those injured. Resporsheck
and Cornak will die. The others were not
seriously hurt.

THE TARIFF BILL
Cannot Become q Law by the First Of
July.

July.
The democrats propose to make a dash
to get the tariff bill through the Senate by
the end of this week. They have had so
many purposes much easier of accom-
plishment which have failed that there
is very little confidence In this. If it were
pressed energetically it would be quite pos
sible to finish the bill this week, though the
cotton and the wooden schedules, the in
come tax. the free list and the administra-
tive features Of the measure which are stiff
jumps. are yet to be encountered. Calcula-
ton of what will be done cannot, however,
safely be based on what can be. The con-
servative calculation is that a vote will be
had about the middle of next week, though
the managers are striving for vote by Fri
day night
One thing that may be taken for granted
is that the measure cannot become law
in time to go into effect on the 1st of July.
Any effort to rush the Senate amendments
through the House within week or two
after the bill gets there will fail. The op-
position Is organizing and 1t is the belief
of the best informed men in the House that
the bill will be in conference near about
four weeks, perhaps longer.
