Insurgents Attack uavana's suburbs.

A Havana dispatch says: The story
of an attack by insurgents on the sub
urbs of Havana is confirmed by Senior
Calbajer, a wealthy Spaniard, who
with his wife and daughter have fed
from Havana. The attack was made
on the village of Marnanao about 10
miles west of Havana. Senior Calbajer
was an eve witness of the raid He
says that the attack was led by insur-
gents under Baldomeroa Coasta, Juan
Delgado and Hernandez. They were
we'll armed with dynamite rapid-fre
guns and met with slight resistance.
The engagement was short and des-
perate, and 40 Spaniards were killed
and 120 wounded; two Cubans were
killed and 40 wounded The inhab-
itants of the town fed for their lives,
leaving the insurgents in complete
possession. They sacked the place
and secured $4,000 in gold besides a
large quantity of supplies. Senior Cal
bajer says that the widest terror
reigns in Havana and that the well-to-
do inhabitants are leaving as fast as
the local laws permit.

OF the uniformity plan, which promises to
remove most of the causes OF such struggles.
Some confusion Is caused by events seem
ingly contradictory; by closing of large cot
ton mills when many other works are start

others are advancing, but the balance Is un-
mistakabiy rn the right side. The most inn

Organized Labor Stands by the Miners.
The conference of the heads of labor
organizations of the United States called
ut Wheeling, w. Va, by President
Ratchford, of the United Mine Work
ers, and approved by President Com
pers, of the American Federati n OF
Labor, was attended by 30 delegates
representing nearly every branch OF
organized labor. President Ratch ford
and other leading miners representa-
lives stated the causes of the strike
and the condition of the miners and
and showed that upon the material
and moral sympathy of organized labor
generally now depended the success of
his great strike against white slav-
ery." Messrs. Debs, Mahon and Rea
who have been endeavoring to bring
out the miners of the Farmont, w.
Va, district made it clear that much
depended upon their success there.
Every organization represented at
the conference pledged aid for the
miners and kilograms of like nature
were received from officers of organi-
cations not represented.
1t was decided to flood the West Vir-
ginia coal fields with miners organic
ers and if they fail to bring the miners
out there the railroad men will prob
ably act and tie up the roads.

miners are working and an attempt is
to be made to force them out About
50 strikers from Belleville went to Du
Quoin for that purpose, but were or
dered out of town by the marshal.
The strikers returned home but
threaten to gather 500 men from Belle
Vile and reinforce from Free
burg and other points and drive out
every miner at DuQuoin, Gainesville,
Murphysboro and Marrissa.

prevailing One man received only
S1.35 as wages for a week of 60 hours.
The miners officials were greatly en-
couraged by the news that the men
have quit work at the Turtle Creek
mine-one of the De Armit mines in
the Pittsburg district where the men
have continued at work in spite of all
the pressure previously brought to
bear upon them. This victory for the
strikers was the result of big mass
meeting held near the mines and at
tended by several thousand strikers
with a dozen bands of music. The
mines were surrounded by deputy
sheriffs to prevent the strikers from
interfering with the men at work.
The w. & l.. L. railway during the
past few days has laid off scores of en-
ployes on both the east and west divis-
ions pending settlement of the min
ers' strike. The freight business of
the road depends largely on the coal
traffic.

The report is again revived that Sec
rotary of State Sherman will shortly
leave the cabinet and that Whitelaw

The report is practically confirmed by
the fact that Mr.. Reid has leased the
house in Washington of John Hay,
ambassador to Great Britain, and will
occupy il next winter. Mr.. Sherman
was very much dissatisfied with the
selection OF Judge Day as first assist.

UPRISING AGA INST BRITISH.
Serious Revolt In India with Consider
able Hot Fighting.

In consequence of the rapid spread
of the revolt against British authority
in India. from 10000 TO $4,000 natives
now being under arms, the govern
meut has ordered the reserve brigade
TO assemble under the command OF Col.
Wodehouse. Fort Chakdara was at
tackled by the natives about p m.
and continued until o'clock the next
day. The English lost five wounded.
The native loss is not known, but il is
believed to have been heavy. Fort
Chakdara is strong enough to resist
any attack and it has good supply of
ammunition. The only fear is that
the garrison may become exhausted
by constant fighting. The tribesmen
are sending forth fresh relays contin-
ually. British achievements with
abundant supplies of ammunition have
arrived at DIrgai. The march was
forced and very rapid, and 10 Sikhs
died from sunsrroke on the way.

The Greoian situation Again Alarming

1t is rumored that the possible abdi-
cation of the king of Greece has in
spired the following dispatch from
Athens: at is stated on good author
ity that in the event of a proposal
looking to the establishment of for
eign con troll of Grecian finances being
adopted by the powers the king will
make declaration of exceptional
gravity. Russia and Germany having
counseled Greece to submit to the con-
ditions imposed by the powers, NJ.
Ralli, the premier, replied that Greece
would never accept the idea of finan-
cial control proposed, and that she
would help herself.
The foreign admirals at the Island of
Crete held conference and decided to
oppose by force the landing of any adj
ditional Turkish troops. In reply to
their notification TO that effect Ismail
Bey said he could not accept such a
decision. 1t is believed that fresh

Spain to War with U. S. - Save Herself

spain TO war win u. >. 70 save herself
A Spanish diplomatist who is in close
touch with Senior Canovas del Castillo,
the Spanish premier. says that it is
useless longer to attempt to disguise
the fact that the Spanish ministry is
in very tight place, and that in order
to retire gracefully from Cuba and at
the same time save the monarchy
Spain may have to go to war with the
United States. He admits that Spain
cannot raise money to carry on the
war in Cuba much longer. The pre-
mier will court war the moment the
United States becomes imperative in
its demands for the independence of
Cuba. The wave of great emotion and
patriotism, such as war would call out
i'll Spain. would naturally sink all
threatening domestic questions and
disturbances, and save the present
dynasty.

Fish Schedule OF Tarin Bill Explained.


The treasury department. has re-
ceived a large number of inquiries
from fishermen on the Great Lakes as
to the proper Interpretation of the new
tariff law which is decidedly compli-
Gated in regards TO fish. The customs
division has finally decided that fresh
water fish imported in bulk and not
frozen or packed in ice caught in the
Great Lakes by others than citizens of
the United States, are dutiable at 4 of
1 cent per pound. If caught by Amer
lean citizens they are free of duty.
The department also holds that ice
may be used upon fish in bulk without
subj-cting them to the duty of q of 1
cent per pound provided by paragraph
26l for fish frozen or packed in ice."
