Will Mark an Important Point in
the Strike Situation.

Hazelton, Pa, September 19.-Abso-
Lutte quiet prevailed in the entire strike
district to-day. Vice President Ma

ing of labor men there.
The only movements among the mil
itary were the practice rides of squad
rons of the Governors and City Troops
and the afternoon dress parade. To-
morrow is looked forward to as a deci-
sive day. An attempt will be made to
resume at Lattimer. where there are
thirteen hundred men, and at Auden-
reid. There are nearly twenty-five
nundred men at the Iatrer place and
they wara tho first to go out. Many
of them want to return to work, but
bands of women have prevented them
during the past few days. To insure
protection, a squadron of cavalry and
the entire Eighth regiment will go to
the scene. The men at Coxe's Drift
ton mine will also decide tomorrow
upon staying out or continuing at
work. All these places will be we'll

SERIOUS TROUBLE
Threatened for the People of Hogans.
vile, GAIA Boycott On a Negro
Postmaster.

Atlanta, Ca, September 19.-The
shooting of the negro postmaster at
Hogansville threatens no end of trou-
BILE. A postoffice inspector has finish
ed an investigation and two prominent
business men will be arrested on
charge of attempted assassination. The
people have never patronized the negro
postmaster, the old postmaster, Hard
away, maintaining his old Office and
sending for, in bulk. the mail for his
white patrons. Their letters were
mailed on the trains. The ex-postmas-
ter will be prosecuted for this and the
letters can no longer be mailed on the
trains. When this action was an
nounced two days ago the citizens con-
ceived the plan of having their mail
sent to the next nearest postofice and
sending a carrier for it, They are
now told that this would be in violation
of the law which permits only the gov
eminent to maintain post route.
Feeling is high among both whites and
blacks and further trouble is feared.

A COMPLICATION

That May Precipitate a Spanish Cabinet
Crisis, Growing Out of Conflict of Au-
thority.
Madrid, September 19.-Fears are
expressed in well informed circles that
a cabinet crisis may result from the
contumacy of the Bishop of Majoriea,
Balearic Islands, who, in defiance of
the order of the archbishop, has per-
sisted in his communication of Sig
nor ]. Revertar, the Spanish minister
of finance, for taking possession of the
church in his diocese.
The decree of accommodation was
read with all formality to-day in all
the churches of the diocese.
Several influential prelates approve
the course of the bishop. Their atti-
tude, which is absolutely opposed to
that of all the members of the cabinet
who have appealed to the Pope against
the decree, through the papal nuncio,
has raised a complicated issue between
the ecclesiastical and political author
tiles.
The cabinet relies upon the dictum
of the nuncio that the bishop has no
jurisdiction over the minister and up
on his further assurance that the Pope
will undoubtedly censure the bishop.
The notorious sympathies of the bish-
with q St ont a
aggravate the situation.

City of Mexico, September 19.-Cap-
tain Gotta, of the Twelfth Infantry, was
some time since condemned to death
for characterization for the killing of a
the Yaqui rebellion. He was shot here
yesterday. Detachments from all the
garriSons were present, about 1,500 men
being drawn up on three sides of the
square. By 5:45 all was ready and a
carriage containing Captain Gotta and
three friends, guarded by soldiers, drove
up. AT the further end of the square,
opposite the eastern mound, in front
Of which the execution was to take
place, the coach stopped and the con-
demned man alighted. He was imme-
diately conducted to the place of ex-
ecution by picket of infantry.
His nerve and courage were superb
AS he advanced down the length of
the square, a distance of at least 100
yards, he was quietly putting at a
cigarette, and when the squad halted,
he walked deliberately to the posi-
ton assigned to him.
Not even there did his courage for
sake him, for when the officer strobe
toward him, bandage in hand, with the
intention of blindfolding him, Captain
Gotta at once motioned him away, de-
claring that he was not afraid.
Not even as the officer in charge of
the firing party took his place and
when his sword motioned the orders to
the men "ready, present, fire." not even
during this trying period was there the
least trace Of fear on the face of the
condemned man. At the first discharge
he dropped dead.
