DESERVING q Coal Town.

Hazleton, Pa, May 10.-The town of
Stockton is rapidly becoming depopula-
ted, although two weeks ago ii was one
of the liveliest places in the coal regions.
The remaining employees of Lindemann
4 Skeer, at Stockton. last evening were
notified to tear up all the tracks and re-
move them from the mines. This
means the drowning of the colliery and
its entire abandonment, tnrowing ne ,rly
1000 men and boys cut of employment
There is still large amount of unmined
coal, but the expense of mining it is so
great that the operators cannot afford to
pay the enormous royalties demanded by
the land owners. As there seems no
hope of future work, the people are NOV
ing away from the town.

gallows at Philadelphia, at 1912 clock.
Holmes showed marvellous nerve on the

was fixed about his neck. He died de
claring that he was not guilty of the
murder of the PiteZe's.

SEyEEAL American citizens on the fill
clustering schooner, Competitor, cap
tured by the Spanish authorities of
Cuba, have been tried by court MARTA
and sentenced to be shot. The Ameri-
cans were not bearing aams. Secretary
Olney has entered firm protest against
the execution of the sentence. He has
pointed out to the Spanish authorities,
both at Havana and Madrid, that the
drum-head court martial trial is in vio-
lation of treaties existing between this
government and Spain. In conformity
with those treaties he has also demand
ed that the death sentence in the case
and that they be granted a trial by
civil tribunal.
Captain General Weyler, of Cuba, has
indicated reluctance to accede to Sec
retary Olney's demand. 1t is expected.
however, that the Madrid authorities
will direct Weyler to comply with the
request of the American government.
In that event, it is said, Weyler threat
ems to resign. Should the Spanish au-
thorities proceed with the execution of
the Americans, it is entirely likely that
war will follow. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee,
the new American consul general, is
Fastening TO Havana. A number of
American war-ships are likewise in
readiness to proceed Immediately to Gu
Da if their presence should become ne
ceSsary.
This event has created considerable
excitement in Spain and among the
Spanish in Cuba.
