Sympathy for Spain.

Comte Henri de Penaloza, who has been
visiting friends in st. Louis for a few
days, said that the rumor of an under
standing between Spain and other Euro
pean nations looking to check
upon American interference with
Cuba was confirmed By informa-
ton which came to him from high
authority. De Penaloza has been intro
duced in st. Louis as member Of an old
Spanish family whose sympathies are
with the Carlst party, but whose con-
nections with high politics in Spain keep
them posted on most of the important
diplomatic movements. He said: ''Some
time last September, when the CUBAN
question was so much agitated IN the
United States, even to the point of fur
nishing planks to the declarations Of pres
idential conventions, Senior Canovas del
Castillo, then premier of Spain, received
assurances from the English and French
Governments through their representa-
tives in Madrid that they would not per-
nit any action on the part of the United
States other than very perfunctory rec
ignition Of the belligerency of the insurg-
ents. Aug. 5, before leaving Paris, l
learned from trustworthy sources that
this assurance had been renewed

Result of Recent Inquiry.

From high authority in the Navy De-
partment it is learned that the influence
of that branch of the Government will be
thrown against the proposition to estab-
lish a government plant for the manufac-
ture of armor plate for war vessels. Ine
special board appointed by the Secretary
of the Navy to inspect the Bethlehem,
Carnegie and Illinois Steel Company es-
adjustments, inquire into the cost OF
armor and collect facts bearing upon the
desirability of having Government armor
plate works will not, it is understood,
make a definite recommendation, but IL
will present such data that Secretary
Long may legitimately frame conclusions
adverse to the suggestion. The spirit or
both tie House and Senate Committees
on Naval Affairs is against the construc-
ton Of any more of the huge ba1le-shlps
of the first class and that those now under
construction will probably be the last OF
the kind ordered by Congress. War ships
have been growing in size until the limit
appears to have been reached. The larg-
est vessels, by reason of their heavy
draught, are prevented from entering
many ports where 1t would be convenient
and desirable for them to go, and they
are SO cumbersome and bulky that they
are constantly getting out of repair and
are rarely ready for action on demand.
Another reason is that experts in subma-
rine navigation have found that 1t will be
as easy to destroy $5,0OO,OOO war ship
as it would be to sink wooden hulk.

VICTORY FOR CUBANS.
THE TOWN OF VICTORIA DE LAS
TUNAS CAPTURED.
Spain Loses Military Control Over
an Important Province-Likc1ihoo
that the Insurgents Will Make the
Captured City Their Capital.
Wey1er Asked to Explain.

News received at Madrid of the capture
of the fortified town of Victoria de Las
Tunas by the Cuban rebels has caused IN
tense excitement. This victory gives the
insurgents control of the province OF San
tiago de Cuba. 1t is believed they will
make Victoria de Las Tunas their seat
of government, and upon it found their
claim to the United States for recognition
of belligerency. The minister of war mas
cabled Captain General Weyler, asking
for an explanation regarding the capture
of the town, which is defended by seven
forts, having two Krupp guns among
their armament The Madrid newspapers
commenting upon the capture Of Victoria
de las Tunas, condemn Captain General
Weyler. The impartial says General
Joovoller was removed from his command
for a similar disaster in 1876. 1t is
pointed out that the strategical position OF
Victoria de las Tunas is important. The
government has decided to act vigorous
ly and to Immediately dispatch further re-
endorsements to Cuba if necessary.

FIGHT WITH DEPUTIES.
Coal Company's Effort, at Eviction q
ComDlete Failure.


The efforts to evict the striking miners
of the Pittsburg and Chicago Coal Com
pany at Orangeville, one and half
miles from Gastonyille, Pa, resulted IN
riot of no mean proportions and the
utter failure on the part of the company
to accomplish its object. When the news
spread that the evictions were to be at
tempted the whole vicinity about Finley
vile, Gastonville and Orargeville became
wildly excited. About o'clock at night
twenty deputies from Washington, Ia,
in the charge Of Chief Deputy Joseph
II. Wetherill, reached Finleyvllle, wnere
they were met by large crowd OF strikers
and their friends. Each deputy was armed
with q Winchester rifle and a revolver,
but in spite Of this the strikers, headed
by 100 Polish women, closed IN OH them
and the deputies received rough treat
ment. They were gradually forced back
and finally retreated to GastonvIlle,
where they were followed by crowd OF
about 200 men and women. At CASTOR
vile the deputies took refuge in the ofhce
Of the company, where they were kept
all night. The building was bombarded
with stones and bricks and an occasional
shot was fred. At Z o'clock in the morn
ing the trouble of the night reached Gil
max when the deputies sailed out from
their besieged quarters and started to
Orangeville. Each one carried his Win
chester in his hands and his revolver was
exposed, but these had no terrors for the
besiegers. Headed by the women, the
strikers rushed on the deputies with
stones, clubs and pickhandles, and blows
fell thick and fast. One of the big women
wrested the rifle from q deputy's hands
and struck him on the head with 1t, in
ficting serious injury. Almost every man
in the posse was cut and bleeding and
several were seriously hurt. One had his
right hand almost severed by sharp
stone. The officials of the company say
no further attempt will be made to evlct
the miners for the present.
