VERY SERIOUS.
An United States Inspector Knocked
Down. Beaten and Driven Off By
Filihusters.

Washington, June 1.-The Secretary
of the Treasury has received a tele-
gram from Special Inspector Hamp-
ton at Fort Landerdale, Fla, stating
that he boarded the steamer Biscayne,
off New River Inlet, at , o'clock yester-
dav morning while she was transferring
arms. ammunition and coal to the
Dauntless. and that he was knocked
down. disarmed and driven off. This
telegram was referred to the Attorney
General for such action as the gravity
of the occurrence may warrant.
This is the only information yet re-
ceived at the Treasury Department IN
corroboration of the report telegraph
ed last night from Fort Landerdale
detailing the assault and the subse-
ouent captue of the Dauntless by the
cruiser Marblehead. The department.
officials say they have no doubt that
the Dauntless had just returned from
a successful landing in Cuba of NUM-
tions of war and her capture is re-
garded as highly important. The per-
sons who maltreated Inspector Hamp-
ton while in the discharge Of his duty
as an United States officer, it is stated,
will be vigorously prosecuted.
Key West. Fla, June 1.-The Uni
ted States cruiser Marblehead, which
left here under sealed orders Sunday
morning. returned at noon to-day with
the tug Dauntless, charged with fill
clustering. A lieutenant Of the Mar
blehead had been placed aboard the
Dauntless. Upon arriving the tug was
turned over to the customs officers.
About % Cubans were found on the
Dauntless. including Charles Silva, Col.
Numez and J. E. Cartaya. NO COM
municaton with the boat is allowed.
Very little ammunition was tOunu
aboard the Dauntless and only two
rifles. and report has it that the crew
threw the remainder Of the cargo over
hoard The tug gave the cruiser
lively chase down the east coast OF
Florida before it was overhauled.
Spanish Consul Fernandez had his
face slapped by J. NJ. Gown and
crowd of Cubans attempted to throw
him overheard from the wharf, but
they were not successful.

mercial Gazette will say tomorrow:
The furnacemen throughout the She
mango and Mahoning valleys contem-
plate a general strike about July l for

Special to the Register.
Williamson, w. Va, June 1.-Two
miles from Keyston, Mcdowell county,
this State, a whole community was
shocked by the atrocious work of an
incendiary last night.
About ten o'clock neighbors discov-
cred that the house of ]. II. White was
on fire, and before help arrived 1t was
burned TO the ground.
Five children were burned to death
in the blazing building; four boys, OF
four, six, ten and twelve years respect
lively, and little girl of six.
The parents were away from home
and the children were left in charge OF
an elder daughter, who, with heroic
effort and serious injuries to herself
rescued one little girl from the flames.
When they learned of their terrible
loss, the parents were wild with grief,
and it is feared the reason of the
father will be dethroned.
Intense excitement prevails, and if
the fire fiend is caught he will be
summarily dealt with.

Pittsburg June IA ten per cent
cut in wages, affecting all men not
under the AmalgamaJed scale, was or
dered at Jones & Laughlins's American
Iron Works to-day. AS a result the
open hearth workers and some other
employees, in all about 200, refused to go
to work last night. The firm employs
nearly 5000 men.
The strike will probably cause a shut
down of the entire plant. This morn
ing the strikers gathered about the
gates of the mill and gave three cheers.
This was evidently signal, for instant
ly all the Vnn at work except the ton
mage or Amalgamated men, threw down
their tools and walked out of the mill.
At noon 500 men were on a strike.
The night turn men say they will not
90 on duty unless the matter is ad-
justed, and this will cause a general
suspension as the tonnage men cannot
work without the laborers.
The stories of the number of men
who quit work is conflicting. At the
South Side Office, a superintendent
thought that about 25O men had quit
work. but these had not crippled the
plant. The workmen claim that be-
tween 400 and 500 have refused to
work for the reduction. The superin-
tendent said he would rather have the
old employees resume. but if they do
not new men will be employed to take
their places. About 1900 men are af-
fected by the cut.
The present reduction is significant,
mas much as the Amalgamated scale
comes up for consideration this month.
The present scale expires July l. If
Jones & Laughlins refuse to sign the
Amalgamated scale there is no telling
where the trouble will end.
W. L. King, of the firm, was asked
to-day if the reduction did not indi-
cate that the new Amalgamated scale
would be rejected when it comes up
for consideration and that the firm will
demand a reduction on the present
wages. He said: THAT is the as
sumption"
Mr.. King said: eve have been hop
ing since last fall that we would not
be compelled to make a reduction, but
prices have had downward tendency,
and we put it off as long as we could,
hoping business might improve.
I'VE must either operate our plant at
these prices or close down. Thous-
ands of mechanics and laborers apply
every week for work and it will be no
troble to get men. Our orders have
largely been from hand to mouth, and
it has been difficult to get orders to
keep the men at work
