Madrid Cablegram That
Causes a Sensation
in Havana.
Senior SagaSta Is Selected as
Minister of Foreign
Affairs.
Weyler's Rule in Cuba About at
an End. as He VIII Surely
Be Recalled.

HAVANA, CUBA (yia Key West, Fla J.
Aug. IA cable dispatch from Madrid
to Havana newspapers says that a new
Cabinet has been formed in Spain as fol-
lows:
President OF the Council of Ministers-Gen-
eral Martinez Campos.
Minister of Foreign Affairs-senor sagasta.
Minister of Marine-Senor Maura.
Minister of the Colonies-Sen or Moro.
Minister of the Interior-Senor Silvela.
Minister of War-General Polavieja.
Minister of Finance-Senor Gamazo.
The dispatch says that the new Ministry
has not yet taken the oath, but that, with
perhaps some slight notifications, it has
met with the approval of the Queen. All
the principal elements of the two monar-
chical parties are represented.
The news has created great sensation
in Havana, as the Presidency of General
Martinez Campos and the presence of
Seniors Sagasta, Maura and Siivsla in the
Government seem to indicate a great
change in the colonial policy of Spain. 1t
undoubtedly foreshadows the recall of
Weyler, to whose policy Campos has
always been opposed. Cubsns hope that
the new Government will consider how
useless it is for Spain to sacrifice men and
money to maintain an endless war in the
island.
If any change is made in the Cabinet, it
will still remain on tie same basis-a
preventative Ministry of all Monarchists,
including the Conservative and Liberal
parties

Operators Dire Becoming Alarmed at
the Spread of the Strike.
CLEVELAND, OHIO, Aug. IA special
from Wheeling. W. Va, TO Plain Dealer
says: "The failure of the operators in the
Fairmont region to call the bluff OF the
National leaders BY serving Judge jack
sons injunction, which was plainly vio-
lated Yesterday, throws the strike in that
region into about the shape it was week
ago, except that the strikers are gaining n
little daily. The Monongah union, too,
mas 7O7 mem bers, a growth OF fifty this
week. Other mines are losing the workers
slowly and the strike is gaining in proper
tlon. 1t is argued that since the injunc-
tion was not served on the leaders the
operators will hardly try serving it on
subordinate agitators and miners.
Reports from reliable and disinterested
sources in the Kanawah Vallev do not
agree with those given by Fred Dilcher to
the Associated Press, although it is ad-
mitted by many that the strikers are max
ing gains. There are still twenty mines
at work and 20, 600 miners. 1t is reported
that the Norfolk and Western will be at
tackled by the organizers again on Monday.
The Wheeling district is now entirely
closed. A mass-meeting will be held at
Martins Ferry this afternoon to discuss
the closing of the last two mill mines in
the Eastern Ohio region.

An AssaiIdnt Fun Down by Blood
hounds and Lynched fear a
Famous Ronument.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. 14.-Mrs.
Daniel Heathcock, wife of laborer en-
ployed at the Nation al.Chickamauga Mill
tary Park, was alone with her sixteen
year-old daughter this morning in her
home, when a red bearded white man
called at her house and asked for some
thing to eat. She gave him a meal, and
finding she was alone he used improper
language. When ordered out, he grabbed
a piece OF wood and struck Mrs. Heath
cock on the head. She fell unconscious.
The daughter rushed to her aid, where
upon the man seized her and dragged her
into an orchard, where he assaulted her,
after hard struggle. He fed alter secur-
ing revolver from the Heathcock home.
This afternoon a guard named Brown
found the girl unconscious in the ditch.
The mother was also found insenslble.
The police were notified and blood hounds
at once put on the brute's trail, while $50
men on horseback went in pursuit. Mrs.
Heathcock is in a critical condition. 1t is
reported tonight that the posse have
nearly caught up with the assailant. If
caught, he will be lynched on the spot.
1t is reported at the Sheriff's office late
tonight that the assailant was caught by
posse after being run down by blood
hounds, anG hanged to a tree within ten

HAVANA, CUBA, (via Key West, Fla. },
Aug. l4.-The situation at Havana con-
tiuues very grave. The well-known Ve-
dado ward. In the capital itself, was at
tackled last night by insurgents and nearly
all the stores in it. among them the
pharmacy of DR.. Bueno, sacked. 1t seems
really wonderful that no resistance was
made to the insurgents and that they left
Vedado without having a single man
killed or wounded.
The news of the killing of the Spanish
General Molina il the hard engagement t
with insurgents at Matanzas is confirmed.
General Molina was well known for his
cruelty. His death has created a sen sa-
ton only equaled by that produced by the
death of General Santcildes in the battle
OF Peraleio during the first months of the
war.
A convoy from Havana to Rincon was
seized by the Cubans very near the capi-
tai. At Guines, also near Havana, the
bridge over the Mayabee River has been
blown up by the insurgents, the losses Of
the Spanish Government being estimated
at 500, 600.
Weyler is in disgrace and in few days
will embark for Spain. The com bat at
Tapaste, near Havana, on last Tuesd ay,
which he carefully concealed, is now
known to have been terrible defeat for
the Spanish troops. The insurgents made
the Spaniards retreat in three successive
charges and General Weyler fed igno-
miniously from the battlefield and en-
tered Havana. Twelve high Spanish Of
icers, besides many hundreds of soldiers,
were killed.
The town of Guantanamo, Santiago de
Cuba province, mas been taken by the in
surgents. General Penguino Perez and
all the officers of the garrison were made
prisoners. The Cubans also secured q
large lot Of money.

The recent destruction by fire of the

HAZELTON, Pa, Aug. IA The drivers
and miners employed at the Hazel Brook
Colliery struck this morning for an ad-
vance of wages. Some of the drivers are
Americans and others are Hungarians
and Italians. They have been getting
from 81 to 81 35 per day. They claim they
have to work one hour per day without
pay, and for this want remuneration.
Two drivers left the strikers ranks and
were going to the strippings, when about
thirty strikers met them and tried to per-
suade them to come back. Superintend-
ent Jones pnt in an appearance. Jones
was knocked down and kicked. Levi
Watts, carpenter who came to his aid,

severely injured. The arrival OF num-
