Railroads Conf,scate Coal.

Chicago, July l2.-Railroad COM
panies issued orders to confiscate all
coal being carried over their lines.
The order carried confusion with it's ex-
ecution, and local coal companies, who
expected to receive special shipments
to meet the demand of the day, We're
thrown on their own resources to over
come the difficulty. The price, of COM
mon soft coal jumped 40 cents a ton,
while soft screenings were rated at
just double tn cir customary value.
Fully $4,000 carloads from the mines
in Southern Illinois were confiscated By
the railroad companies. The seizure is
made because OF a recent supreme court
opinion, which says that in case of
strikes the railroad companies have the
right to oontiscate any coal on their
railroad property, regardless OF the con.
signee.

Florida Filibusters.

New York, July IA special to
the Journal and Advertiser from Ha-
vana says:
An expedition of Cuban filibusters
from Florida is reported to have landed
on Sunday in Havana province at the
mouth of Jaruco bay. The Spanish
gunboat Reina Maria Christina, which
WAS cruising about the coast, en-
deavored to intercept the expedition,
but without success.
When the cruiser arrived at the spot
and disembarked her marines, they
were fred upon and driven to their
boats by a strong rebel force in ambush.
After brief bombardment of the in
surgents' position the warship hurried
to Havana for reinforcements. When
she returned the filibusters had already
left with their munitions and supplies
for Gastillo's headquarters in the Ia
peste hills, closely pursued by Fons-
devielas' Spanish column, which had
marched overland from Minas to inter-
cept their movements.
DR.. Augustine Clemente Betancourt,
an American citizen, after years OF in
generation as military prisoner in
Pinar del Rio and in Cabanas castle as
a political suspect, has been liberated
and ordered to leave the island, no
proofs to substantiate the charges
against him having been found.
Manuel Fernidanez Cahuquielo, an
American citizen captured with the in
surgents near Jaruco, l2 months ago,
and since then confined in Cabanas for
tress, has been notified to prepare for
an early trial.

THE STRIKE GROWING.
A Complete shutdown in the Wheeling
District.

Pittsburg, July l2.-Nineteen thous-
and men in this district are idle.
There is an almost total supension of
work in the mines along the Mononga-
hela river The suspension is radically
total on the Wheeling division of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, about five
men working there. All the mines
closed down today excepting the M. A.
Hanna & Company, along the Panhan-
die; the New York & Cleveland Gas
Coal Company, and few individual
mines which can have but little effect
upon the situation.
The Hanna mines have about one
third of their usual number of men at
work. The coming out of the men
along the Baltimore & Ohio is decid-
ed victory for the miners, because these
men are working under an ironclad
agreement, and by their loyalty to their
brethren forfeit $8, 900 in wages which
the company holds out.
The situation as to the supply of coal
cannot be called serious as yet, because
there are from IL, 900, 900 to L 1000. 900
bushels of black diamond in stock at
the various pools along the river which
can be placed in Pittsburg at short no.
tice and, if need be, portion of it
could be shipped to the lakes.
Up to the present time, no sign of
lawlessness has developed among the
strikers and there is no evidence what
ever that there will be.
A careful review of the situation
proves the assertion OF the mine Off
cials that the Wheeling division is SOL
idly advocating the strike. Five cars
were loaded at the Germania mine yes
terday, but it was with coal which had
been lying on the dump since work was
suspended last week. There was
doubt as to whether or not the Slavs
would return to work, but this has been
dispelled, and the foreigners seem as
enthusiastic as any on the strike ques-
tion.
1t is said that President Gompers
will offer to raise fund of $50, 900 per
week to assist the strikers in their
struggle.

patch from Havana says:
Captain-General Weyler has at last
decided it wise to evacuate Bayamo.
He has already ordered the inhabitants
to betake themselves to Manillo, and has
asked the war department of Spain to
authorize the withdrawal of troops and
the burning of the town. The expenses
of maintaining the garrison there have
always been very heavy and one which
the end gained did not justify.
Much sickness prevails. The insur-
gents are looking out for the landing
OF artillery along the coast of Matan;as,
The Spanish army has never been so
weakened by sickness before. An Off
cial estimate OF the number of Spanish
soldiers in hospitals throughout the is
land is 1850. Not long ago the .u-
chano battalion marched to the front
LOO strong; today the battalion unm-
bers $50 men.

A Six Weeks Debate.

The tariff debate began May 25, on
which day Aldrich, on behalf of the
finance committee, made the opening
statement on the bill. The actual con.
sideration of the bill began the next
day, May 20, when the schedules relat-
ing to chemicals was taken up. The
debate has been continuous since then.
covering six weeks and one day. 1t
has been notable in some respects, al
though it has lacked many of the dra.
matte and oratorical features marking
past debates. From the outset the ad-
vocates of the bill refrained from set
speeches, and the discussion was mar.
rowed to a consideration of rates and
schedules, rather than general princi-
pies.
Aldrich's illness took him from the
chamber, and since then the bill has
been in the immediate charge of ALI
son.
The opposition has been directed in
the main by Jones, of Arkansas, and
Vest, while White, Caffery, GRAY and
Allen have frequently figured in the
debate.
The bill, as it goes back to the house
re-enacts the antitrust sections of the
Wilson act, while the senate reciproci
ty and retaliatory provisions are substi.
tuted for those OF the house.

CUBANS IN MATANZAS.
Long Threatened Invasion of That Prov
ince Has Begun.

lhCe mas beBuh'
New York, July IA Herald dis
patch from Havana says:
The threatened invasion of Matanzas
province by the insurgents has begun.
Several large bodies of Cubans have
crossed the line from Santa Clara and
the strength OF the force engaged in the
westward movement is estimated from
1000 to 5000. La Crete and Herie, who
recently crossed the Jucaro and Moron
trocha and passed into Santa Clara from
Camaguay, have united with other
leaders, and there are now five or six
chiefs, each with considerable follow
ing, moving into Matanzas, where the
insurgent forces were ordered to mo-
bilize. Men have been summoned
from the plantations around and ordered
westward.
Whether the movement was ordered
to mbarrass General Weyler or to dis
tract attention from Gomez, who is
supposed to be hemmed in by Spanish
columns near Sancti Spiritus, is not yet
clear. 1t may be both.
The purpose of the gathering in Ma
tanzas is said to cover the landing of an
expedition which is due In that prov
ince, and which will furnish the COM
bined forces with some additional arms
and cartridges and several rapid-tire
field guns. After receiving this expe-
ditiOn the programme mapped out by
General Gomez is for an advance across
Matanzas province, and if all goes well
a demonstration near the city of Ha-
vana itself.
Quintin Banderas, who recently came
from the East with 800 men, and who
was in Melana del Sur two weeks ago,
has gone to Matanzas. The entire
force of rebels under Castillo in this
province is ready to join with those in
the eastern province. Duccasse and his
force of 2,500 to 5000 men may come
from Pinar del Rio to take part IN the
movement.
General Calixo Garcia will remain IN
Santiago province, but practically all
the other leaders of prominence of the
insurgent side have been ordered to
meet in Matanzas.
Just what opposition the Spanish
troops will make to the movement is
not certain. The sudden activity in
the rebel ranks after the rainy season
has we'll begun shows that they are able
to move, despite, the muddy condition
OF the roads, and frequent drenchings
which they must receive. Any forced
marches of large bodies of Spanish
troops to head off the rebel movement
must result in heavy losses from sick
ness, hardship and exposure.

DECISIVE VOTE IN THE SENATE
The Upper House Passes the
Tariff Bill.
PARTY LINES WE'RE BROKEN

Seven Present Did Not Vote-One Dem
Ocrat and Two Silver Republicans
Voted for the Bill.
Washington, July 10.-By the de-
cisive vote of 3S to 2S, the tariff bill
was passed in the senatea bout O'Clock
last evening. The elimination OF
the long and arduous struggle had ex-
cited the keenest interest, and the floor
and the galleries of the senate chamber
were crowded by those anxious to wit
ness the closing scene. Speaker Reed,
Chairman Dingley and many members
of the house of representatives were in
the rear area, while every seat in the
galleries, save those reserved for for
eign representatives, were occupied.
The main interest centered in the
final vote and, aside from this there
was little of dramatic character in
the debate. The early part of the day
was spent on amendments of compara-
lively minor Importance, the debate
branching into financial and antitrust
channels.
By 4 O'Clock the senators began to
manifest their impatence by calls for
vote, vote," and thereafter the last
amendment was disposed of and the
final vote began. There were many in
terruptions as pairs were arranged, and
then, at 4:55 O'Clock, the vice-presi-
dent rose and announced the passage of
the bill-ayes, 3S; noes, 28.
There was no demonstration, but a
few scattered handclaps were given as
the crowds departed. Senator Aldrich
withdrew his vote to pair with Senator
Murphy.
An analysis of the final vote shows
that the affirmative was cast by 80 Re-
publicans, two silver Republicans
(Jones OF Nevada and Mantle) and one
Democrat (McEnery). The negative
vote was cast by % Democrats, two
Populists (Harris of Kansas and Tur-
ner) and one silver Republican (Can-
nom.
Eight Republicans were paired for
the bill and eight Democrats against it.
The first named would have voted
for the bill, and the last named against
it, Aldrich and Murphy, Chandler

ton and Allen, Wolcott and George.
The senators present and not voting
were:

Following the passage of the bill a
resolution was agreed to asking the
house for conference, and Senators
