Expression by Gen. Woodford.

Paris, Sept. pa dispatch to the
Temps from Madrid says:
"The attitude Of the United States mas
caused great sensation at Madrid, be
cause opinion has been lured ON by tne
optimist communications of the Spansh
minister at Washington upon the cnarac-

that, too, despite the several WARNINGS
from Mr.. Olney and Mr.. CleveIano

Gen. Weyler also have received too mueh
confidence. when the United States gov
eminent was every month receiving from
its consuls and special ENJOYS totally aii-

the word uitimatum is exaggerated; Gen

senior Valera adds: THE majority OF
salf-styled American citizens who claim

who employ this method to obtain IN
IDENTITIES. 1t is to be believed that the
American nation will end by doing justice

TO noon there had been no deaths since
Saturday last, and all the sick but one
or two are reported doing we'll The
two cases are Mrs. Julia Jarvis, Elmira
street, and Henry z. Lulling, George
street. There were at the close of last
week four serious localities of infection.
namely, the neighborhood of Christ
church; in the vicinity of Washington
Square; near the Marine Hospital and
City Hospital, and in the extreme north
western part OF the town. Since that
time there have been no further devel-

in the second named, and in that the
spread OF the fever has been remarkably
slow, so slow that there is now enter
tanned hope that it will be stamped out
altogether.
Another death was added to the list
tonight, namely, John J. Bourne, chief
clerk of the Louisville and Nashville
shops, who lived on Elmira street. He
was taken sick September 18th. This

THE KILLING AT LATIMnR.
Denounced by the American Federation
of Labor, Who Offer to FurnisA Money
for Prosecution.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 2S.-At to-
days session Of the executive council OF
the American Federation of Labor the
following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That we declare the at
tack OF Sheriff Martin and his deputies
at Latimer on the marching miners then
on strike was a brutal, unprovOked mas
sacre, inspired by the coal operators OF
that section to defeat the demands of the
men for better conditions.
Resolved, That the ever ready use
in late years of court injunctions, armed
force and the State militia in times of
troubles is only part of the insidious pro-
gram to entirely subjugate the workers
of America to the most debasing degrs-
dation.
Resolved, That we condemn most Sc
verely the wanton killing and wounding
of the poor miners at Latimer, and win
give our fullest help through the trades
unions and the American Federation of
Labor to raise moneys for the legal pros
ecution and conviction of Sheriff Martin
and his murderous minions, that through
the courts Of our land even-handed JUS
tice may be done for these revolving mur-
ders."
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1897-09-24

and that the miners had no intention of
making an unlawful demonstration.
The hearing will be resumed tomorrow.
The strike situation remains unchanged
to-day, except for the return to work
of those Harwood miners who were
afraid to go back to work yesterday.
Every cOlliery in the region worked and
there was not the slightest disorder any
where.
The question of the withdrawal of
the militia remains undetermined, but
that it will begin before the end of
the week is felt by those at headQuart-
ers to be almost a certainty.

plosion occurred in the drug store and
Mr.. Reardsley who was inside endeavor-
ing to save some of his property lost his
life in the ruins. His brother-in-law
Thomas Higgins, who went to his rescue
was unable to get out and was burned
TO death, while several others were more
or less injured but none fatally. There
was a stiff breeze blowing and the flames
getting a fresh start from the burning
oils and chemicals in the wrecked drug
store leaped from house to house until
it was evident that the entire town was
doomed. A message was sent to Waverly
asking for aid and both fire departments
promptly responded. The Baltimore and
Ohio Southwestern and Ohio Southern
Railways sent special trains with the en-
gines. but they did not arrive until al
most four o'clock, nearly three hours af-
ter the first alarm was given. The best
that could be done was to prevent the
fire being communicated to the other
