miles west of here, have quit work A
| delegation of strikers from Negaunee
and lshpeming visited the mine and
urged the men to join them. There are
little less than 800 men employed at the
Champion. Superintendent Fitch asserts
that the mine will be closed indefinitely.
Captain Hoar appealed to the strikers to
permit him to resume work at the Star
West mine on the Cascade range which
he is operating on contract. He offered
to grant the men all the demands they
asked, but they said all OF the mines in
the county would have to remain closed

IsHPEMIN9. Mich. July a9.-At meet
ing of the striking miners the request of
the employers that they meet at their re-
spective mines for conference relative to
the promised increase in wages was de-
clined. The men denounced the plan
as scheme to break up the union and
decided that all overtures must be sub.
mittcd to the body OF miners as whole.

NEGAUNEE, July So-The strikers at
the Champion mine have been paid off
with the notification that the..mine will
remain closed for an indefinite period.
The Champion has been working on the
pillars robbng the worked out portions
Of the property. The ore is Of the hard
variety and has to be crushed, which adds
considerably to the expense, and it is said
the management has ihad difficult time
meeting expenses. The Champion was
the first hard ore property in this region
to suspend work some three years ago.
It was unable to mine ore at profit
for some time before the panic struck
this section in 1893 The decision of the
strikers here in refusing to visit the
mines at the request of their employers
was great surprise to the citizens
generally. A number of women were on
guard at the mines to see that none of the
strikers went to confer with the officials.
The managers say their offer made on
Saturday was their ultimatum and have
ordered the men paid off

ond, In 1907. and r. N. Johnson of the
Argonauts, third, tiino not taken.
Rumohr took the lead from the start and
Vandamme was In the rear at the half
mile. All three kept too close to the
bank, but Rumohr noticed his mistake
first and gained little over the others.
Vandamme shot up at the turning buoy,
but was unable to catch Rumohr and got
his shell full of water. Rumohr had 1t
all his own way for the rest Of the race
and came in leisursly, taking a rest at in
tervals. Vandamme made a plucky strug-
gle and kept second place, although his
bow was clear Of the water. He kept
ahead Of Johnson but just as he reached
the finish his boat swamped and left him
struggling in the water. He was picked
up little the worse for the ducking.

CUBAN REVOLUTION.
Offers of Additional Troops
Refused by Capt.
Gen. Campos.

Hvana, May 29.--Capt. Gen,
Martinez Campos has assured
the newspapers of the province
of Puerto Principe that the gov
eminent will contribute the sum
of $4,000 per month for the
construction of the railroad
between Puerto Principe, the
capital of that province, and
the port of Santa Cruz, on the
eastern coast of that province
The government has decided to
undertake this work in order to
give employment to about zoe
laborers, in view Of the fact
that it is determined to finish
the war soon, even if it is neces-
sary to bring troops from Spain
for that purpose. The captain
general has received a dispatch
from the government at Madrid
saying the Spanish Minister
has ready 10000 additional
troops to send to Cuba. But
De Campos was asked to advise
the government first whether
reinforcements were necessary
He replied, saying that nc
more troops were needed to
suppress the insurrection at
present. The Spanish govern
ment has ordered the Cuban
authorities to admit bills of the
Banco Espanola of Havana in
payment of custom house
duties.
