Havana. July 31.-A party of Spanish
soldiers made a raid yesterday on the
girls school at Guanabacoa. which was
attended almost wholly by the daugh'
tiers of well nown Cuban insurgents.
The teachers were driven out and the
pupils were grossly treated. Later on
the soldiers made raid on the teach
ers boarding house but number of
Cubans had assembled there and were
prepared for them. As the soldiers APP
preached they were greeted by pistol
shots. They returned the fire and
there was lively fusllade, in which
two Cubans were killed and four
soldiers wounded.
The soldiers We're reinforced and the
teachers were captured and taken to
the commandments headquarters. Late
in the night eight young girls attending
the school We're arrested at their homes

Pittsburg, Pa, August AT 1:15
this morning the strikers at Camp De-
termination were aroused and 500 men
ordered to march to Sandy Creek and
800 to Plum Creek. The march began,
with President Patrick Dolan leading
the force going to Sandy Greek. After
proceeding a short distance Dolan was
served with a writ charging him with
riot and unlawful assembly at the in.
stance of Thomas p. DeArmitt. For
time great excitement prevailed among
the marcehrs. but Dolan quoted them
b ysayng that he would soon join
them. He was then taken to the jus
tees office and the marchers pro-
ceeded.
Secretary Warner Organizer Miller
and other leaders are included in the
writ.
y citizen of Turtle Creek stands
ready to furnish bail for Dolan, and 1t
is presumed he will be released. The
incident has caused very ugly feeling
among the strikers, and if the other
leaders included in the order of arrest
should be stopped in their work. de-
cidedly vigorous action will likely be
taken at. the big meeting today.

We're in session in Major Millers office
yesterday examining the surveys of

be interviewed on the subject.
Colonel Robert was directed before

The United Postal congress, which
recently finished it's work at Wash

way of simplifying the postal transac-
tons of the world: Following is an
official resume of the results of the
work of the congress: The principal
treaty which excludes the entry Of
Corea into the postal union; the dec
laration of the Orange Free state,
which failed to send delegate to
Washington, that it hoped soon to en-
ter the union; and the declaration OF
the Chinese empire, which was repre-
scented in the congress, that it will OBJ
serve the regulations of the union as
soon as the organization of its service
permits. The intermediary transit
rates have been facilitated. and the
tariff diminished materially on a grad
uated scale for the ensuing six years
Uniform colors have been projected
for postage stamps. Postal cards I'M
paid are subject to double tax; that
is, cents in place of the former tax
which was 10 cents, the same as for I'M
paid letters. Circulars produced on a
machine (typewrltten in quantities Of
twenty circulars all of the same char

al mails at the same rates as printed

miners and visitors, but the day passed
without trouble of any kind.

the miners camp yesterday and stated
that he had no reason to order the
crowd to disband and so long as peace
prevailed he would not disturb them.
There was complete shift in the
makeup of the campers. The men
