Boise, Ida. Jan. 1S.-The senatorial
siren is playing havoc with hearts that
covet the seat in the upper branch of

the motion. The spectators believing
this was the signal for an election on
the second ballot, almost rocked the
building. so great was their agitation.

ever, a vOluminOus grean went sky

TO THE BITTER END.
A statement is made tonight that
Clagett men have resolved to stand

Clagett being credited with the remark
that it would be either him or Dubois.

LEADVILLE STRIKE.
PROSPECT FOR ITS TERMINA-
TON SOMEWHAT BETTER.
Miners, However, Are Inclined to
Demand More Than the Mine
Owners Seem to Be Willing to
Give-A Conference Now On.

Leadville, Colo, Jan. 19.-The seventh
month of the strike of metallic miners
in this district closed last night and
strange to say, the suspense is at this
time greater than it has been since
the strike was inaugurated for the rea-
son that it is believed the conferences
now under way here will finally dis
pose of the matter one way or the
other, and if no conclusion is reached,
it is very doubtful if the strike Will be
amicably settled at ALL The public
interest in these conferences is great,
and today miners throng the streets
eagerly discussing the matter and
anxiously awaiting results.
David II. MOffatt, the millionaire
mine owner, and 80 other leading mine
managers, met with the governor this
morning, and discussed the strike. In
the afternoon, a proposition was re-
ceived from the miners Offering to de-
clare off the strike on the following
conditions: That all mines paying SO
a day before the strike resume that
scale; that all mines paying $3.50 now
pay $2.15; that the striking miners be
reinstated; that no discrimination be
made in the hiring of Workmen
This proposition was refused by the
managers. who, in turn, tonight made
a proposition to the miners setting
forth that they (the mine managers)
were not antagOnistic to lawful bodies
of organized labor; that the mines
which are paying $3.50 a day will pay
S2.75 a day when silver is 20 cents
or over and So day when it reaches
75 cents.
This proposition was given to Cover
ror Adams tonight, and he personally
laid it before the miners committee
The governor is making a strenuous
effort to bring the strike to a close.
A conference is now in progress be
tween Governor Adams. Messrs. Debs
and Boise and the mine managers.
This. it is believed, will be the final
conference.
At late hour tonight. the miners
refused the proposition of the mana
gers and asked for arbitration. In re-
turn, the managers at midnight issued
an amendment to their first proposition
as their ultimatum. agreeing to raise
the wages of the trammers, firemen
and engineers and pumpmen when sill

A Torpedo Successfully Exploded
by Them.
MANY MEN WERE KILLED
EXACT FATALITIES, HOWEVER,
ARE UNKNOWN.
Success of Cuban Filibusters Thorn
in the Side of the Spaniards, Who
Cannot Comprehend How Such
Things Can Be-Spanish Officials
Exchange Hot Words About 1t.

Havana, Jan. 1S.-Though the insur-
gents have no navy, they do not hest
tate, when the opportunity offers, to
attack the Spanish warships. The lat
est instance of this kind occurred yes
terday morning., when a Spanish gun
boat was sunk by means of torpedo,
and many of her crew killed. y de-
tachment of rebels had made an at
tack upon the forts at Guamo, some
distance up the Cauto river, province
of Santiago de Cuba, and the Spanish
troops, fearing that they would not be
able to hold out, asked for assistance
from Manzanillo on the coast. On Sat
urday night the gunboats Centineli and
Relapago left Manzanillo under or
ders TO ascend the river and protect
the forts. The commander of the gun
boats used all possible speed in running
up the coast to the mouth of the river,
but when they began to ascend the
stream they proceeded very cautiously,
Suspecting that the rebels might have
planted torpedoeS in the channel. All
went we'll until the gunboatS were OPP
poSite a place called Mango, when, de-
spite all the precautions that had been
taken, the Relampago struck a torpedo.
Instantly there was a terrific explosion
and masses of water We're hurled to a
great height. The hull of the Relampago
was torn open and she at once began
to sink. There was no time to lower
a boat, and almost before the extent
of the disaster could be realized the
vessel went down. Those on board of
the ship who were not injured jumped
into the water and made their way
the best they could in the direction of
the Centineli. AS soon as it was seen
that the vessel was sinking the Cen
teneli boats were sent to the rescue.
The rebels appeared to be in strong
force along the banks of the river,
and when they saw the Spaniards in
the water they directed a heavy rifle
fire upon them. The Centenei fired
upon the rebels, but as they could not
be seen. it is not believed that any
serious losses were inflicted upon them.
When the Centeneli's boats attempted
to rescue the men struggling in the
water the rebels fired upon them, but
the Spaniards bravely persisted in their
work of rescue until al, the men had
been taken from the water
The commander of the Centeneli was
so seriously wounded that doubts are
entertained of his recovery.
The condition of the survivors was
such that it was impossible for the
Centeneli to proceed to Guamo, and
she therefore returned to Manzanillo,
where the news of the disaster caused
intense excitement.
The official report of the affair states
that the commander, second engineer
and three sailors of the Relampago
were killed and her boatswain, quarter
master, chief engineer, pilot and four
sailors wounded
The boatswain of the Centeneli was
killed and her pilot, second engineer,
gunner and six sailors were wounded.

Bands of Plateados Do Desperate
Work


Havana. Jan. 1S.-Oficial news has
been received here of the hating and
plundering of a railway train near this
city on the night of Jan. 16. by bands
of Plateados. The train was the last
one running from Regla, a suburb of
Havana on the east side of Havana
bay, to Guanabacoa, five miles further
east. The robbers stopped the train
at 1920 p. m, and, covering the pas
sengers with their guns, proceeded to
rob them of everything of value they
had about them. There were ten
Spanish officers on board the train who
had been on a pleasure trip to the
city, and were returning to GUIANA
bacoa. The robbers made prisoners
and took away with them nine of the
officers, who were subsequently re-
leased but one of them, native Gu
ban, who was killed for being in the
Spanish service.
