Versions of the United States Min
ister's Recent Interview.
Paris, Sept. 21.-A dispatch from San
Sebastian to the Temps of this city, says
that in his interview Sunday with the
duke of Tetuan, Spanish minister for
foreign affairs, the United States min
lister to Spain, Gen. Stewart L. Wood
ford, did not present any claim for in
demnity, but confined the interview to
moderate phrase in the statement ot
the great injuries commerce and in
dustry had suffered in the United States
through the prolongation of the Cuban
war. Gen. Woodford is said to have
added that Secretary Sherman haG de-
sired him to declare to the Spanish gov
ernment that it was evidently impossi-
BILE for Spain to end the rebellion in a
reasonable time, and, further, that If
the war was continued Cuba would be
devastated and of no utility to Spain
or to the Cubans.
In conclusion the United States min
lister is reported to have insisted cour-
teously but firmly upon the necessity of
terminating the war, declaring that if
it was not terminated by the end of
| October the United States would feel
| justified in taking measures 10 secure
| the independence of Cuba.
The duke of Tetuan, according to the
dispatch to the Temps, while protesting
against alleged American ''preten-
sions," said he would reply officially
| to the United States minister when the
Spanish court returns to Madrid.
Madrid. Sept. 21.-In official circles
here the greatest secrecy is maintained
regarding the United States ultimatunt
which it looked upon as bound to cause
a great sensation in Europe and to have
the greatest consequences for Spain.

Akron, Sept 2l.-The settlement of
the coal strike and the consequent re-
duction in the price of coal have en-
abled a number of large factories, which
have been shut down for weeks, to
once more reopen. First among them
are the clayworking industries and
every sewer pipe factory and pottery in
this vicinity, all of which had been
shut down, have been put in operation,
giving employment to nearly 1000
men. The stocks of finished product.
which are usually maintained by these
concerns, have been so depleted that
the shops will be enabled to run on
full time until next spring at least.

junction Perpetual.
Wheeling, w. Va, Sept. 21.-The
feature of interest in the opening ses-
sion of the September court of the
United States court for the district of
West Virginia, was the application of
eX-Gov. A. B. Fleming, of Fairmount,
to make the injunction against Eugene
V. Debs and others perpetual. The
governor was acting for his client, the
Monongah Coal company, and as there
was no appearance for any of the de-
PENDANTS, the injunction was made per-
petual. In the course of his remarks
in making this decision, Judge Jackson
said that if like case were presented
to him now he would make the same
kind of order he had made at Parkers-
burg, where the temporary injunction
was issued recently. Continuing he
said:
There have been some public structures
that / know are due to the fact that the
order made in these cases was not under
stood. This decision is founded on good
law, good morals and justice. Near 2Ou
years ago courts of equity in England is
sued restraining orders to protect the cit
| izen in his right of property. There is no
reason why the rights of property owners
should not be protected by the courts.
| These owners invested large sums of money
in their plant at Monongah, and the bill
| for injunction alleged the defendants were
about to do things that would lessen the
| value OF the property and possibly de-
| stroy it. The law is that where an injury
| is threatened to which the law affords no
adequate remedy. then the court of equity
| interferes to prevent the injury, and this
| is such case. The injunction abridged
| no rights of the miners. did not interfere
with the rights of free speech and was a
| carefully prepared and wel-considered or
| der. l instructed my officers, in taking that
| injunction to serve it, to stand behind II
| like the soldiers behind the fortress, but
| to keep within the lines of the injunction
and not to extend or step beyond it, and d.
nothing excepting exactly that which wa:
required. This order was not an innova
ton. 1t is an application of what l con
slider good law. and was done in prope
case to protect property of the plaintiffs
which the court conceives to be in the duty
just as it would protect the rights of th'
defendant in the proper exercise of all Their
privileges under the constitution"

BREAKS The STRIKE.
Hundreds of Miners Return to Work
ia Pcnnsyivnnia.

Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 21.-Unless un-
foreseen developments occur the an
thracite coal strike in this region is
ended. Monday 1900 men, half of the
full complement, returned to work at
the Honeybrook collieries of the Le
high and Wilkesbnrre company, as did
300 of the 1.S00 at Pardee's Lattimer
mines, while the Cranberry, Crystal
Ridge and Harwood collieries of the
same company and Coxe's collieries in
the Drifton district, remained at work
The latter were to have settled the ques-
tion of strike Monday, but nt the re-
quest of the operators, held off until
next Thursday. The employees of the
Hazel mines of the Lehigh Valley COM
pany are considering the question of
returning this morning and will prob
ably do SO. Nearly 5000 strikers have
returned or will do so to-day and
little less than that number are still
out, with indications in favor of their
Joining the workers. The break of the
strike is practically a victory for the
| operators, as in only one or two in
stances have the demands of the men
been granted, although several COM
! panies have promised to consider the
| grievances.
At Lattimer a band of women Mt
tempted to drive out 300 Italians who re-
turned to work. They were armed with
| clubs and stones and moved on the en-
| CINE house and the company stores.
| The raid looked forbidding for time
and was not ended until three COM
panies of the Thirteenth regiment with
fixed bayonets, had pressed back and
! dispersed the crowds. A number of
Butler valley miners who wanted tt
return to work at Lattimer were driven
back by body of armed strikers who
met them as they came over the noun
tain, mile or more from camp. The
disturbance at Eckley was an attempt
by strikers to intimidate the men who
wanted to work, and it, too, was quieted
down by the troops without violence.
The warrants for the arrest of Sheriff
Martin and his deputies were issued
Monday by Judges Lynch and Bennett
at Wilkesbarre. They were served here
at night and no resistance was made,
The writs contain rs names, including
the sheriff's. and the latter has agreed
to deliver all the deputies for hearing
to-day. A company of the Ninth regi
ment will escort them to Wilkesbarre
Gen. Goblin permitted the service of the
writs because ne thinks the civil au
thorities are now able TO handle the
situation. The gradual withdrawal Of
the troops will be considered to-day.

MINERS PERISH.
Distressing Disaster in an Ala

Fire Breaks out I'm Shaft mt Belle
Ellen - Many Men Arc Rescued
with Dificulty-Five Men De-
Iicvcd tn He Dead,

New Orleans, Sept. 21.-A special from
Birmingham, Ala, to the Picayune
says: About two hours after the men
went to work in mine No. 2 of the Bes-
semer Land and Improvement COM
pany's coal mine at Belle Ellen, near
Blocton, Bibb county, Monday morn
ing, fire was discovered far down in
the main slope. About 100 men are
employed in the mine and at once an
alarm was given. A panic followed
among the workers and in the little
town of Belle Ellen. Hundreds of men,
women and children gathered at the
main entrance of the smoking mine
while rescue parties were at once
| formed to relieve the miners. More
| than so were gotten out from the vari-
Gus entrances without harm. Others
were overcome by smoke and fell by
the wayside. The brave searchers
found and dragged ont, while those
waiting at the entrance restored life
| to their unconscious friends. A scene
OF wild excitement prevailed at the
mines south, women and children were
screaming and shouting for help, and
| u IRE DTlBaue was at WORK enueaVOTlHS
| to overcome the flames.
Five men who were working about
the slope beyond where the fire origi'
mated could not be reached, and it is
regarded as certain that they are dead
The missing are: Herman Kramer and
Hubbard Foley (white), and Henry
Reeves, Frank James and William Fair
fax (colored). 1t is possible that two
or three others may be in the mines
but these five are known to be lost
There was no possibility of their escape
and the fire brigade battled with tn,
flames all day in a vain attempt to reacl
the entombed men, but at nightfall tn,
fire was still burning fercely and eff
forts were abandoned, and the mer
were given up for dead.
A telegram from Belle Eilen says th
fire is thought to have originated from
an overheated steampipe which ignitet
gas in the mine. A careful check i
being made of the list of miners in tn
mine where the fire broke out to ascer
tain if possible if the death list will ex
ceed five. So far it is not positivel,
known that any others are missing.

about so years ago, he does not look
more than 40 years OIL to-day. AL
though not tall man, he is of sturdy
frame, athletic and active. His skin
is us clear as boys, and he has deep
blue eyes and a pleasant smile. His
Irish blood is shown by the fact that
while his eyes are blue and his COM
plexion fair his hair and mustache are
black.
McCullagh was a coachman before he
became policeman in 1870. He is
not a highly-educated man so far as
"book learning" goes, but through read
ing and keen observation has become
well-posted man. He is a good con-
versationalist.
There is no better horseman on the
force than McCullagh. If he is ever
made full chief and rides at the head
of a procession of the police of the
Greater New York he will make a
fine appearance. 1t was while a mem
ber of the old-time mounted squad,
with Capt. Williams in command, that
he became expert in horsemanship.
McCullagh's rise on the force was
steady, but not pyrotechnic. 1t took
him 13 years to get his captaincy. He
made a good record from start to fin
ish, not marked by especially brilliant
acts, but by constant good service.
McCullagh has shown genius for
police organization as acting inspector
in the upper section of the city, the
recentlyannexed district. he organ
lied the service there, and the men OF
the precincts over which he presided
got to like him very much. There he
showed that he believed in policemen
dressing well and being gentlemen by
visiting the stations frequently and de-
livering informal lectures to the squads
on department.
He is type of the gentlemanly police
man himself and has made many
friends among the very many wealthy
men of the city by handling police ar
rangements for them at large socia
functions, such as the Gould-C -Casellant
wedding.
The new head of the force lives in {
handsome house on the West side, up
town. Mrs. McCullagh is a charming
woman of many accomplishments, {
member of Sorosis and of the Profes
sional Woman's league. Mr.. McCul
lagh takes great interest in his wife
work in these and kindred organiza
tions.
