The Miners Refuse to Consider It-De-
Armit's Terms.

PrTTSBURG, July 1.-THE arbitration
commissioners held a meeting at the
Sevenue Avenue hotel yesterday. which
was attended by w. p. DeArmit, presi-
dent of the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal company.
The United Mine Workers are pay
ing no attention to the board of arbi-
traitors
The very fact that operators are will
ing to arbltrate the strike makes the
miners hold aloof from the proposition
The miners say that 90 cents a ton is
not living wages and any operator who
is human Will not hesitate to grant it.
Mr.. DeArmit said:
elf the operators of the PIttsburg
district will abolish their company
stores; use uniform screen, give hon
est weight, 1900 pounds of coal for a
ton; pay cash every two weeks, l will
leave II 10 any committee to settle the
price of mining and pay it, no matt er
how high, providing all nv competi-
tors pay the same price. Unless these
conditions can be brought about | will
not agree 70 abolish the contract with
my men, nor can l afford to do So"
\ number of Pittsburg operators
have said they will not stand idly by
and see West Virginia steal their con-
tracts and they are preparing to start
their mines and call on the governor for
aid IN operating them. in case any at
tempt Is made TO modest the workmen.

An IucIdent of the Republican Leagn
Clubs Convention at DetrFit.
DETROIT. July 14-The National Re-
publican League convention has fair
attendance of delegates tor an "Otf
YEAR in politics. Nearly all the states
are represented, although the quotas OF
delegates are small in several instances
The absence of party leaders who are
prominently identified with the admin
istrative and legislative departments of
the national and state governments Is
conspicuous feature. The younger peo-
pie are present.
The radical parrisanship of the league
men was illustrated in the fact that
Mayor Maybury, Democrat. was not
invited to offer welcome TO the dele
gates. Colonel IL VI. Duffield having
been selected instead by the local COM
mitteP. In his address of welcome
Governor Pingree voiced his we'll
known opposition to favored corpora
tiOns, while Colonel Duffield, who fol-
lowed, took occasion to remind the
governor, who had said that the hope
of the country was In the people, that
1.-The hope of the people is in the Re
publican party" and that, while it was
easy TO arouse a handicap against cor
pOratiOns, that the country could not
live without them. The addresses OF
Dimgley of the Michigan League, son
of the chairman of the ways and means
committee, We're enthusiastically re-
ceived, and the convention adjourned
early for the first day.
Last nights massmeeting in the con-
vention hall was entertained for the
most part by eXtempOraneous speeches,
Senators Hanna and ThurstOn and some
of the others scheduled to appear, not
being present.
The contest for the league presidency
goes merrily on. Crawford of Ken
lucky and Fleitz of Pennsylvania each
processes confidence in his election,
while POllasky of Chicago asserts he is
still III the race, Notwithstanding the
Illinois delegation is not giving him
united support.
The following telegram from Presi-
dent Mckinley to President Wood
nansee was read:
Il offer through you my heartiest
congratulations on the tenth annual
convention of the Republican League
and my continued best wis hes for the
increased usefulness and prosperity of
this worthy organization.
Today Is also being held the cOnven-
tiOu of the Republican College League.

of the party. us principally confined
at the present moment TO the Orient
and Camagua provinces.
THE Spanish are in possession of one
or two small places. but they suffer
very severely from the want of food
and ammunition. Their camps are
decimated by sickness and numbers are
deserting every day TO join the ranks
of the Insurgents
They are afraid TO venture far, as
their forces are so small. and it is only
when a column reinforces them that
they make sally in search of
supplies"
\ battle. according TO the castaways,
was recently fought at Camagua in
which the insurgents under General
Garcia were completely successful over
almost double their number.
The Cubans captured much supplies
and secured also q large number of
rifles, with several cases of ammuni-
ton.
The town of Iguana was also the
scene of a terrible conflict, but General
Garcia and his troops were again vic
tOriOus. After driving out the Span
iards with great loss they took posses
sion of the town.
DR.. Nieta of the party says that the
Cuban troops are in good health and
have good supplies of food and ammu-
milton All are well armed and the
principal difficulty is to keep them in
clothes.
The election of president was COM
menced in the month of NAV, and there
has been a genuine display of patriotic
feeling on the subject among the Gu
bans. The result will not be made
known until September. The candi-
dates are General Garcia. General
Masso and Seymour Capole. DR.. Her

A Lively Deb ite In the senate Occurred
Over the Matter

over the Matter.
WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE price to
be paid for armor plate for the three
new battleships now in course of con-
struction has been the theme of an ex-
tended and, at times, lively debate In
the senate. An amendment to the de-
ficiency appropriation bill was agreed
to restricting the price of armor plate
to $500 per ton, or $l25 less than the
amendment reported by the committee
and recommended by the navy depart
ment as the minimum rate acceptable
to the armor contractors.
Another amendment inserted in the
bill directs the secretary of the navy
to investigate as to the establishment
of government armor factory and to
report to the next session OF congress-
During the debate Mr.. Hale urged
that the failure to equip the battle
ships with armor would humlliate the
United States i'll the eyes of the world.
and would lessen our naval power at
time of possible foreign complication.
After inspecting the armor amend
ments, the deficiency appropriation
bill. the last of the great supply meas
ures, was passed.

1t Is not the present expectation that

up at this session. but a situation exists
which may hasten the matter. 1t is
believed that if the attitude of japan
toward Hawaii becomes more threaten

though the friends of annexation will
not be in haste, unless developments

not anticipate that the efforts of the
United Mine Workers organizer to
bring the men out will be successful.
