SUDDEN DEATH OF A THURMAN.
DIR. Mclean Passes Away at the Track Ate
Seeing His Horse Win.

Cincinnati, July 3.-After watching
his gallant filly Taluca win the Ohio
stakes in the hardest kind of a drive,
DR.. f. E. Mclean, one Of the best
known horsemen on the American turf,
was attacked with heart disease and
died a short time afterwards at the
Oakley race track yesterday afternoon.
Mclean was sitting alone in the timers
stand when he dropped over, gasping
for breath. Medical aid was summoned,
but despite the efforts of several ply
scians the turfman died just as the
bugle sounded calling the horses to the
post for the last race.
McLeans death was undoubtedly
caused by the exciting finish in the
stake race and the sensational Incl
dents which followed. After Taluca
crossed the wire, winner by a nose, and
the jockeys were dismounting, John
Huffman, the st: Louis herseman, took
advantage of the selling clause in the
conditions of the race and began to
bid up Taluca, McLean's horse. Tom
Blackburn, McLean's trainer, stood by
and protected his filly and after being
bid up to $4,000 she was bought in by
Blackburn at that figure. Blackburn
at once put in a claim for Remember
Me, Huffman's horse, which finished
second to Taluca, and after paying $500.
the amount she was entered for, both
animals were led to the Mclean stable.
All during the run up Mclean sat
silently watching the transaction. After
it was over McLean's friends noticed
that he was i'll and only short time
afterwards he received the fatal attack.
Mr.. McLean's death caused the last
race to be declared off. For fifteen
years or more Mclean has raced, and
the public always had the greatest of
confidence in his stable. Mclean was
55 years Of age and leaves a wife and
family,

While There Is Sedition In Bombay There
Is War in the North.
London, July 30-The news from the
north of India is full Of war. The tribes
men in the Swat valley are keeping up
the fight with a persistence that's rather
unusual. The north camp at Mainland
has been abandoned by the British, the
troops concentrating on Kotal. The at
tack began at $50 on the previous even
ing and lasted until daybreak Wednes-
day. Desultory firing continued through
out the day, the tribesmen driving in the
pickets. Of whom thirteen Sepoys were
killed and forty-three wounded. The
Punjab infantry, led by Lieutenant Gil
mo, in a succession Of brilliant charges
drove back great masses Of the tribes
men, killing ninety. In the fighting on
Monday the tribesmen were repeatedly
repulsed, but always returned to the at
tack. The native losses must have been
severe, as thirty bodies were found at
daylight when the attackers retired into
the vaAey.
The rising of the natives is on a large
scale. Each night a determined attack
has been made. lasting until daybreak;
while during the day time the garrison

tactics prove a severe strain to the
troops. When the troops evacuated the
north camp, owing to a lack Of camels
they were compelled to abandon their
tents. These were get on frs by the
tribesmen. The confiagration must be
taken as an evidence Of success which
will be likely to bring Thousands of
tribesmen f1ocking to Mainland.
On Wednesday the enemy returned
with reinforcements and at 10 o'clock at
night renewed the attack with equal de-
termination, charging right up to the
breastworks. They were repulsed, how
ever, at all points. The British losses
were much smaller than on the previous
night, being only three officers wounded
and two native soldiers killed and eight
wounded. The enemy retired at day.
break, carrying off their dead, but the
British soldiers were too much fatigued
to pursue them. The list Of casualties
illustrates the necessity for an increase
in the number Of British officers in the
native regiments. Heavy Losses are al
most inevitable in this sort Of fighting
and the officers are bound to expose
themselves while leading their men.

Illinois Mine Operators to Meet.

Peoria, Ills, July 30.-A call was is
sued yesterday for a state mass meeting
of mine operators to be held here next
Tuesday to organize a state associa ton

cies as the present strike. Considerable
feeling against eastern operators is back

clam that heretofore the eastern opera

have settled without any regard to west

could not understand why a wealthy

Great Meeting Held at His Mines with Sue

Pittsburg, July 3O.-The meeting held
at the De Armitt mines yesterday was
a large one, but there were not 5000
Debs and other leaders and were mostly
the men who had marched there, as
De Armitt's men were at work, having
run the gauntlet Of the strikers who
hooted them. The meeting was the
largest of it's kind so far. Reports of
shooting by deputies are denied.
De Armitt makes the following state
ment: "A few of our men from the
Turtle Creek and Plum Creek
mines attended the meeting. About
forty of the younger men in
the Sandy Creek mine were
present. AS far as the effect Of the
meeting on our men is concerned, 1t was
a fiat failure. All Of our mines were
In operation and will be tomorrow. !"
A large force OF deputies is on duty
and developments of sensational char
acter are likely to occur at any time.
The men in the camp will be supplied
with food.
Late last night William Warner, Sec
rotary of the miners union, telephoned
that break in De Armitt's men has
taken place. He says that after the
day meeting another meeting was ar
ranged for last night, and it was at
tended by many of the men who had
been at work Several local speakers,
he says, placed the matter before them
in such a convincing way that the men
from De Armitt's Turtle Creek mine
resolved not to return to work in the
morning. Secretary Warner says this
is the most important result Of the big
meeting, and it will be taken. advantage
of at once to influence the men at the

There is no doubt of the issue. The

have to do no coaxing to get them to
go with them. It is said that Matthie-

that the Illinois zinc works, Of Peru,
is the biggest purchaser of their prod

of coal and the extortionate price de-
manded for it the Illinois Zinc works
has quit making ore and is doing moth

at disadvantage with their COMPETE

their own coal mine and are allowed to
work, notwithstanding that the price

which its reporters cannot verify. except
TO strike disconnected fragments here
and there:
"One of the largest Cuban expeditions
that has sailed from the Gulf coast
squared away tonight for the Queen OF
the Antilles, from Pass Cabsllo, midway
between Corpus Christi and Galveston.
The expedition consisted of 800 thor
oughly armed frontiersmen, mostly from
Colorado, but many Of them from North
and West Texas and New Mexico. The
Colorado and New Mexican conungents
are part OF Col. Roberts organization
that has been getting together in the
Southwest during the last few days. Men
forming the expedition have been sent
TO South Texas points IN squads or from
five to twenty, many Of them having
passed through Houston and Galveston
without suspicion as to their identity
being aroused. They have been sent out
from Dallas ana Fort Worth and few
from Greenville and Texarkana by Gu
ban sympathiZerS.
THE vessel on which they sail is owned
by wealthy private parties, non-resldsnls

week near the port of Brazos de Santiago,
at a point north of the bar. from which II
quietly slipped out last Friday night,
reaching Pass Caballo on Sunday.
During the last thirty days arms and
ammunition have been shipped as hollow
ware. white lead, hospital supplies and
musical Instruments In sn 10000 rounds
of mixed ammunition for rifles, shotguns
and revolvers. which had been quietly
gathered In North Texas points. the bulk
Of it at Dallas and some OF IL at Fort
Worth and from some Of the biggest arms
companies in ST. Louis, have been ship
ped from those cities under the direction
Of Cuban sympathiZers and forwarded IN
such packakes as not TO arouse suspicion
as to the character OF their contents.
THE expedition hopes TO join Col. Rog-
ers' command OF Americans in Cuba or
Gen. Garcias. The point where IL Will
land has been selected in advance, but Il
is only known to the officers OF the ship
and the promoters of the expedition.
The crew consists of twenty thorough
~ experienced sailors, at the head OF
whom is Capt. Miller. who has spent a
great deal OF time during the last two or
three weeks in Galveston. Dallas and
Houston. One OF the crew Is Bob Allan.
