MANY OPERATORS IN COUNCIL.
Eighty-Nine Mines Represented at tn
Pittsburg Uniformity Meeting.

Lignty-Nlne Mines Represented at the
Pittsburg Uniformity Meeting.
Pittsburg. July 2s.-Eighty-nine coal
company mines located in the Pittsburg
district were represented at the coal
operators uniformity meeting here yes
terday. The operators who ship by riv-
er and those owning mines in the West
moreland field were not present. The
river operators held a meeting at the
coal exchange in the afternoon and de-
cided to take no part in the uniformity
movement. No attention was paid to
the call by the Westmoreland people.
Very little was accomplished at the ses-
sions. The old uniformity agreement
with the new clauses inserted was re-
ported on by a committee and the meet
ing today will take up the agreement
by clauses for discussion. Other changes
in the conditions since 1896 warrant
different provisions, and committees
will be appointed to draw up clauses
that will cover the points at issue. The
only sensational incident OF the ses-
sions occurred when Colonel w. p.
Rend presented a minority report on
the uniformity agreement, denouncing
the procedure Of the meeting in severe
terms and boiling the conference.
When the committee reported the old
uniformity agreement with the new
clauses and preamble prepared by the
visiting arbitrator, the report was read
and Captain Steytler moved that it be
received and the committee discharged
Rend demanded recognition for the
hearing Of minority report He pre-
faced the report with a few remarks
on what he termed the ''bunco" inten-
ton Of the meeting. Rend said he had
been misled by Little as to the purpose
OF the meeting. He understood that II
had been called with a view Of hasten
ing settlement of the strike, and was
assured Of that at a conference with
the general on Monday night. When he
got to the meeting he learned that the
strike was not to be taken into con.
sideration or discussed in connection
with uniformity.
The preamble to his resolutions re.
cites the earnest desire Of the coal op.

Washington. July es-The armor pro-
ducing companies having declined to
furnish the navy department the armor
needed for the three battleships now
building at the price of $500 per ton
fixed by congress, Secretary Long has
taken the second step in the line
marked out by congress, and has called
upon the shipbuilding companies them
selves to submit proposals for procur-
ing and fitting the armor. One Of them,
the Union Iron works. of San. Fran
cisco. has already responded declining
the departments invitation. There. is
little doubt that the others will make
like answer, although there is a
small chance that some of the ship
builders may combine to secure the
control of one Of the plants which the
Ermor makers profess their readiness to
sell and turn out the armor they need
for the ships i'm their hands. If, how
ever, as is expected, all of the ship
builders replies are unfavorable, Sec
rotary Long will proceed one step fur
Their and appoint a board of officers to
carry out the direction of congress and
frame a plan for the establishment of
. government armor plant.
Must Dock in British Waters.
Secretary Long has decided to send
the battleship Indiana to Halifax to
be locked and cleaned. 1t is felt to be
necessary to do this in order to prevent
injury to the hull of the ship from
corrosion. The department would have
much preferred to send the Indiana to
Port Royal, S. c., for this purpose, but
the opinion of the best navigators in
the navy department was that it would
be decidedly risky in the present un-
satisfactory condition of the approaches
to the dock there. While the naval Off
GERS naturally deplore the necessity for
thus sending our faest ship to n for
eign dock they say the practice is not
new or uncommon. She will not be fit
ted with bilge keels at Halifax. This
work must wait until the repairs are
complete at the New York dock, a work
which it 10 estimated will consume a
year.

AMERICAN PRISONERS IN CUBA.
but Ten, Including the Men Taken ON the
Competitor.

Washington, July 2s.-Consul General
Lee has informed the state department
that in the event of the release Of the
American Louis Somelian, now confined
in Jail at Havana, there viii remain CT
American citizens imprisoned in Cuba in
addition to the five Competitor prisoners
only the following: Manuel Fernandez.
confined in Fort Cabanas: Rafael Fer
nandez y Diaz, at Sangua la Grande.
and Julio Tomas Sainz and Frank A.
Gramont at Santiago. All of these pris-
oners are charged with rebellion with
arms in hand and are held subject to the
ordinary military jurisdiction. The
United States consul at Manzanilio has
cableG the secretary Of state a contra
diction OF the story that Albert Slusser.
an American, has been captured by
Spanish troops and taken to that place.
He says that nothing is known Of Slus-
ser'S arrest.
