In 1913 battle was fought near
Milan, in Itaf55, and so perfect was the
armor of both armies that, although
the conflict ragged from nine "a. m. to
four p. M, no one on either side was
either killed or wounded, though one
man broke his collar bone by falling off
his horse.

THAT DAM SITE.
Arguments Finished and the Case
Submitted.

DENVER, June pa special to the
says:
Argument upon the order to show
cause, ETC.. in the case of the United
States vs. the Rio Grande Dam and
Irrigation Company was resumed this
morning w. A. Hawkins, leading
counsel for the respondents, occupied
the morning in a presentation of the
case in behalf of his clients. He cited
numerous reports showing that even
the flood waters of the river rarely if
ever reach the portion of the stream
which it is claimed has been navi-
gated. He also shows that While COM
plainants claim that the river is sus-
ceptible of navigation and has been
navigated near its mouth, there is no
allegation and no evidence whatever
that it is being navigated at this time.
In the course Of his argument he read
from the geological reports a statement
to the effect that the river is not sus-
ceptible of being navigable, even by a
system of locks and dams. He also
showed that the Act of Congress con-
ferred upon the Secretary of the In
terror the absolute right and in fact
made it a positive duty, acting purely
in a ministerial capacity, to grant to
the first applicant the right to reser-
voir sites named by law and that con-
sequently defendants have a vested
right to their site by virtue of hav-
ing been the first applicants therefor.

WEYLER TO BE RECALLED.
Campos Will Go on a Separate
Mission to Cuba.

LONDON. June 29.-The Pail Mall
Gazette" this afternoon prints the fol-
lowing dispatch from its correspond
ent at Madrid:
Public attention is engrossed by the
appointment of General Stewart l..
Woodford as United States Minister to
Spain. While the Government contln-
ues to repudiate the intention of recall
ing General Weyler, l am in position
to reiterate that his recall will be an
accomplished fact at no distant date.
l learn that in all probability Generals
Blanco and Marcias will proceed to
the island and divide the supreme COM
mand, and / have good reason to be-
leve that, coincident with the arrival
here of General Woodford, Marshal
Martinez Campos will proceed upon a
separate mission to Cuba.
In accordance with the wishes of
President Mckinley, Martinez Campos
should be the executor of any arrange
ments possibly reached between Spain
and the United States. Indications do
not point to any arrangements being
reached with the United States, and
intimate friends of Senior Castillo, the
present Minister will strongly oppose
autonomy CASTELAR, 0he LiberaD is
also opposed to any thing of the kind.
They both consider that such con-
cession will render it very difficult to
maintain Spanish sovereignty
The report that the United States
will insist upon autonomy, and the
withdrawal of the Spanish troops and
that, otherwise, it will intervene, by
force if necessary does not make for
a peaceful solution, and the position is
regarded throughout Spain with con-
siderable anxiety.

MINERS NOT TO STRIKE.
so THE OFFICERS OF THE AS
ISOLATION SAY.
A Pittsburg Paper Insists That
the Officers of the National
Union Will Order One.

PITTSBURG, June 29-Notwith-
standing the denials by local officials of
the Miners Association an afternoon
paper says that the officers of the Ma
tional Union will issue orders to-mor-
row for a strike in five States. The
edict. the paper says, will go forth from
Columbus that the men are to lay
down their tools on Saturday next.
Nearly la, ,000 men. it is said, will be
engaged in this great conflict and the
field will cover bituminous coal CEN
ters of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, West
Virginia and Western Pennsylvania.
Patrick Dolan, President of the Pitts
burg district, disclaims any knowledge
of the proposed strike.
Il am a member of the Executive
Board said he, and no action was
taken in the meeting at Columbus last
week. If strike was ordered, it was
after my departure from home, and
this is one of the most important dis
tricts in the association, it is TO be sup
posed that notice would be sent to me-
No word has been received and as far
as I know no strike has been ordered"
A special from Columbus says Secre-
tary Peasre stated at the close of the
conference that there would be no
strike ordered.
COLUMBUS (O.), June 29-MichaeI
Ratchford, President of the United
Mine Works of America, when asked
what if any truth was in the special
sent out TO the effect that strike of
coal mine workers had been ordered,
said: Il am tired of denying these
reports of a proposed strike I have
been denying them for sixty days 1
have nothing to say for publication
The last national meeting of the min
ers decided on a scale of go cents for
Ohio and 90 cents for Pennsylvania and
then left it to the Executive Committee
to determine the time to put this scale
into operation. The committee met
here last week and on Saturday gave
out that conditions were not favorable
to put the new scale into operation
now. That, of course, means there
might have been a strike had the new
scale been ordered, but not being or
dered, there cannot be any strike.

SCRANTON (Pa-), June 29.-A dyna-
mite explosion early this morning in
South Scranton blew up the business
block of Leon Olchofski, q double
dwelling block owned by him and a de-
tached house owned by Michael Ohara.
The business block, a two-story build
ing, was torn to pieces. Twenty 9TH
er houses had all the windows blown
out and plaster torn from the walls.
The shock was felt ali over the city.
The cause of the explosion is unknown.
but Olchofski alleges that it was the
work of enemies he made during polit-
ical and church disputes, he being one
of the principals in troubles which led
to a split in the Polish Catholic con-
gregation
Olchofski was seriously injured in
saving his wife and his recovery is
doubtful The wrecked buildings took
ire but the firemen saved the flames
from spreading. The people were COW
cred with plaster. The infant child of
Michael Joyce was dangerously injured
and little son of John Klein almost
suffocated. The total loss will reach
$4,000
Olchofski has been in political and
church wrangIes for number of years
and was the recognized leader of one
of the warning factions about the South
Side Polanders. When asked if he
thought it possible that some enemy
had blown UP his store he said he did
not know what to think; it might be
that, but he would not like to say any
thing about it. He closed up the
store at s o'clock last night and left
everything in good shane
Olchofski lived on the ground floor
next to the store building. All he
knows is that he was aroused by an
explosion and a burst of flame into his
room. He grabbed his wife and, lead
ing the way, made his exit to the street,
where he lost consciousness. He was
carried to a house opposite and a ply
sician was summoned. He was found
to be painfuffy burned about the face
and hands, and cut on the forehead, "A
large lump indicating that he had
been struck by a flying missile. His
eyes are burned seriously.
MickatoWSky, the saloon keeper who
lived above OIchofski awoke to find his
bedroom filed with smoke and tongues
of flames bursting in through the win
dows from the store. His wife came
running into the room in terror with
blood trickling down her face from a
slight abrasion caused by falling plas-
ter
Gathering up their children they
started for the hallway exit, but the
key of the door had been knocked out
by the explosion and being unable to
find it in a hurried hunt about the
floor, made for the windows and one
by one dropped to the roof of a sum-
mer kitchen below and then to the
ground. Nobody could be found to-day
who could explain the cause of the dis
aster. Circumstantial evidence abounds,
however, to show that it was no acci-
dent. Gas could not have wrought
such havoc nor could it have been
caused by any ordinary amount of dy-
Mantle or glycerine.
1t is believed that fully 100 to 200
pounds of dynamite was used by the
person who set the explosion off.
