United States grand jury to-day found
indictments against General Carlos Roloff.

trict OF Maryland. means for a military
expedition against the territory OF
foreign prince. with whom the United
States is at peace-to wit, against the
Island OF Cuba"
The crime is charged as committed July

purchased the steamer James Woodall.
in this port, for $4,000, for the Cuban
Junta, and fitted her up as fiiibuster
On July 9Th OF that year the Woodall

caused the vessel TO put in at Arbor Key.
Fla, where men aud munitions OF
war were taken on board. and later
landed on the Cuban coast.

found against the men in the name OF
John T. Smith. otherwise known as j. I.

THE CASES AT NEW YORK.
NEW YORK. January SO.-When the
case OF General Carlos Rooff. who is
accused of having aided and abetted a
filibustering expedition to Cuba on the
steamship Woodall. in 1895. was called be-
fore United States Commissioner Shields
this morning. United States District At
torncy McLane appeared for the govern
ment, but when he called for witnesses.
none responded. After waiting for some
time for their appearance. he asked for
an adjournment until next Saturday,
which was granted. The cases of DR..
Jose ]. Luis and Enrique Trujilo. who
are also accused OF aiding filibustering
expeditions. were also adjourned. for the
same reason.
It is believed that the charges against
Roloff. as far as the Woodall expedition
is concerned, will be held in allegiance or
dropped, in this district. as the witnesses
were to-day before the United States
grand jury in Baltimore, and it is proba-
BILE that the whole Woodall matter will
be disposed OF there
DR.. Luls's connection with the Woodall
affair was also being investigated in
Baltimore to-day

WHEELING, w. Va, July 28.-What
Is declared to be the most important and
largest gathering of the heads of labor
organizations of America ever held is
now in session in this city. 1t is the
conference'of labor leaders called last
week by President M. D. Ratchford of
the United Mine Workers and approved
by President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor, of which the min
ers' organization is a part. The pur-
pose of the conference is to aid in a
speedy and successful termination of
the great coal strike. Sessions of the
conference were held during Tuesday
and last night, but until the night ses-
sion was held little had been accom-
plished.
At the night session OF the confer
ence the report of the special committee
to devise ways and means to aid the
miners made its report. The report is
an appeal to the country to assist the
miners. The appeal says:
eve, the representatives of the
trades unions and of all organized labor
of the United States, in convention as
sembled to consider the pending strug-
gle of the miners for wages sufficient to
enable them to live and to enjoy at
least some degree of the necessities of
life, are determined to forever put a
stop to the state of starvation in which
they are now engulfed.
1.-THE deplorable condition of the
miners is well known to all our people.
They live in novels, unable to buy suffi-
cient bread to ward off starvation, in
many cases not sufficiently clothed to
cover their nakedness and their children
unfit to attend school because of lack of
food and clothing making them dam
ger to the future stability of our repub-
lie. We feel assured that all men and
women who love their families or who
have one spark Of human sympathy for
their fellows cannot fail to give all the
aid in their power to enable the miners
to win their present. battle.

junction by the judges of West Vir-
ginia, Pennsylvania and other states as
wholly unjustified, unwarranted and
Unprecedented, more especially in the
absence of any exhibition or manifesto
ton of force on the part of the outraged
miners. We call on the governor of
West Virginia and upon the governors
of all other states and of all public
officials for full and ample protection in
the exercise of our rights of free speech
and public assemblage. We recommend
