a London Paper Wants Great Britain TO
Try to Adjust the Cuban Dispute.
LONDON, Dec 2S.-The attitude of the
United States toward Cuba continues to
be the most engrossing subject of dis
cussion in political circles here and ON
the continent,
The leading London weelllies devote
much space to the Cuban situation.
The Statist thinks there is very little
pro- pect that Spain win soon be able to
assert her authority in Cuba and urges
Great Britain, with or without the con-
sent of some of the European powers, to
Offer her good offices to the United
States and Spain.
The 'Statist attaches little importance
TO the general continental objection that
the United States right to interfere
would be dangerous to every European
government with possessions i'll Amer
lea, and says:
"Unless one or more OF the great
powers are prepared to forcibly oppose
American Intervention, a mere verbal
objection will not carry weight. In
case of war Spain will be absolutely
ruined in the end. The best friend of
Spain is he who tries to induce her to
come 70 some arrangement in time.

KEY WEST, Fla, Dec 2S.-Reports
from Havana say that an attack YVES
made on one of General Riviera's foot
hin forts Friday by some of Weyler's
forces, and that they were repulsed, the
big dynamite gun belonging to General
Riviera's command securing the victory
for the insurgents 1t is stated that over
30 men were lost on the Spanish side,
and less in the Cuban ranks.
All information is refused in Havana,
the officials stating that no such en-
gagemcnt took place. As this report
came through the Cuban channels it is
thought to be true.
Colonel San Martins columns have
been burning houses and destroying
plantations all through the section
south and west of Artemisa as far out
as they dared venture. The past week
over 300 houses and many plantations
have been destroyed, 400 head of cattle
secured and number of tobacco fields
and cane patches laid waste. Weyler's
orders are to spare nothing.
A number of pacificos, il is reported,
offered resistance to the taking of their
cattle saying that their families would
starve, and they were killed, over 20
instances having been recorded. Gen
eral Riviera is taking great pains to
verify.all such cases, it is said, so that
the entire facts can be reported to the
American papers.
General Riviera's forces are increas-
ing, and he has had accessions to his
stock of arms and ammunition this
week, an expedition having landed on
the southern side of the island, from
Honduras or Mexico 1t is presumed an
American correspondent, name UNI
known, has succeeded in getting through
the Spanish lines and joining Riviera's
column.

UNITED MINE Workers.
The Ohio state Convention TO Meet in Co
lumbus This Week.

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 2S.-Tbe state
convention of the United Mine Workers
will be held in this city this week.
Much interest attaches itself to the
meeting, and the officials are already
beginning to come in. One Of the most
important matters to be considered will
be the adjustment of the differences be-
tween pick and machine mining.
This is matter that especially affects
the Hooking valley. The operators
have been paying one-half of the pick
mining rates for machine mining, and
now it is proposed to make a demand
for three-ffths of the rate of pick min
ing There is practically no pick min
ing in the Hooking valley proper, as
wires have been extended to the smaller
mines and they are now mostly run by
electricity
