ANOTHER SPANISH DEFEAT.
Two Hundred spanish Soldiers Killed
While the Insuraent Loss was
Comparatively TrifinG.

Key West, Aug. 12.-Further details
have been received of battle near the
Matanzas line. conservative estimate
places the number of Spanish killed, at
200, while the rebels loss was comparative
trifing. Weyer has returned from the
field. The rumor that he was wounded in
the big fight proved false. The excite
ment at Havana is intense. The uncer-
tainty regarding the new ministry in
Spain is partly to blame. and on top OF
this comes the news of big insurgent
victory. The advance guard Of General
Gomez has crossed into Matanzas.
Whether he is close cannot be ascer-
tained with certainty. 1t is known that
the battle was the result of an attempt TO
capture Weyler, or kill him. Informa-
tion has also been received of another big
fight near Segua la Grande. 1t is sad
the town was attacked and portion of
it burned. Every night bands of insur-
gents enter the suburbs of Havana aud
receive from friends supplies of medicine
and clothing.

In addition there are Germans, French,
Norwegians, South Sea Islanders and rep
resentatives of other nationalities. The
total number of persons is 10000, as
against 1O1 ,661 in 1895, 57,985 in 1873 and
sc, S97 in 1878.
1t will be noticed that the Japanese
head the foreign population, coming next
to the native Hawaiisns, while the Chinese
are close third.
The Japanese have become al import
ant factor during the last ten years, their
numbers having increased from l53 in
1878 to 24,407in 1896. They secured their
first treaty with the Hawaiian government
in 1871. This provides that the citizens
of one country shall have uninterrupted
right to enter into, reside, and trade in
the other, and shall have all the rights and
privileges enjoyed by the people of any
other country under treaty stlpulations
with Japan. The annexation of Hawaii
to the United States would abrogate this
treaty, while the one between the United
States and Japan would be in effect in the
islands.
The development of tie foreign popu-
lation and the falling off of the natives
are illustrated by the following table:

AN INJUNCTION GRANTED.
Restraining Miners from Assembling,
Marching Or Otherwise Interfering
with Mining Property Or In
ducing Nlen to cult Work.

Pittsburg, Aug, PA bill for an in.
junction against the United Mine Work
ers which WAS to have been filed in the U.
8. courts, was filed in the county court to-
day, by counsel for the New York and
Cleveland Gas & Coal company. The de-
PENDANTS named are the United Mine
Workers of America, Patrick Dolan,
president; Edward Mckay, vice president;
William Warner, secretary and treasurer,
and others. The plaintiff sets forth it is a
corporation under the laws of Pennsyl-
vanis with capital of $1,O00,O0O invested
in coal lands. Three of their mines, en-
ploying 1900 men, are at Plum Greek,
Turtle Creek and Sandy Greek. The bill
then recites the conditions prevailing at
their mines, since the strike begun, and
alleges that the strikers have paid no at.
tention to the sheriff's warnings, and that
the lives of miners and property of the
company are In danger. Judge Collier
granted preliminary injunction, re-
straining and enjoining the defendants
from assembling, marching or encamp-
ing, in proximity to the mines, and the
houses of miners, for the purpose by in
timidation, threats and opprobroious
words, of preventing miners working. 1t
further restrains the defendants from in
ducing or compelling any employe or
miner to quit work. "A hearing was fixed
for August 16.
The striking miners at Canonsburg
have determined to force the Injunction
issue, by continuing daily marches and
meetings in the neighborhood of the Nc.
Govern and Canonsburg mine, in spite of
the order of Judge MoIlwaine, forbidding
marches on public roads leading to the
mines. The purpose is to have men ar
rested in order to test the legality of the
injunction. Patrick Dolan stated it had
been determined to keep up the marches,
and as fast as one group is arrested,
another will take its place, until there will
be so many in Jail that public opinion
will be aroused. In this movement the
support of all the leading trades unions
in the country is said to have been
pledged at secret meeting at Columbus
during the last three days, presided over
by Samuel Gompers. Information has
been received by the Pittsburg operators
that the miners of the Bell, Lewis & Yates
company have struck at Reinoldsville,
and that the rest of the mines of the oom.
pany are idle. The company is one Of
the heaviest tonnage producers in the
northern fields. About 5000 men are
employed.
The usual march of miners was made
at Turtle Creek this morning, but more
went into the pit today than yesterday.
At Unity, Deputy Sheriff Richards was in
charge of some men going to work. The
strikers ran ahead hooting and jeering
them. Sheriff Richards ordered the
strikers to move on, but they refused.
He then called other deputies to assist
him, and the strikers, seeing he meant
what he said. moved off still hootipp,

FACTS CONCERNING HAWAII
History Of the Islands AS Far As Is
known, Commercial Position,
Area and Population.
ANNUAL REVENUES OF GOVERNMENT
Tables Showing the Rapid Develop
ment of the Foreign Population
and the Falling Off of
Natives,
N atives

| The Hawaiian islands are attracting the
attention of the whole world just at
present, and information concerning
them is eagerly sought by all sorts OF
people. In view of these facts the New
MEXICAN has compiled the following for
the benefit of it's many readers, taking care
to attain absolute accuracy in every par
ticular:
The Hawaiian islands, or as they are
more popularly known, the Sandwich
islands, according to the name given
them on their discovery by Captain Cook
in 1878; are the most important Poly
nesian group in the North Pacific. They
we're named after the Earl of Sandwich,
who was First Lord of the Admiralty at
the time of their discovery. Captain
Cook estimated the population to be
100000, and American missionaries
placed it in 1928 at 10000.
The Hawaiian islands are 13 in num-
Der, eight being inhabited. they are of
coral and volcanic formation.
AS they are on the route between the
United States, South America, China and
Australasia they are in the center of
Central Pacific trade. Honolulu, on the
island of Oahu, is about 2,100 miles from
San Francisco, which is only few hun
dred miles less than the distance from
the most western point of Ireland to
New York. From Honolulu to Auckland,
New Zealand, is 1910 miles; to Yoko-
hama, 3,440, to Hongkong, 1888.
The first Hawaiian annexation treaty
was signed In the spring of 1898 during
the last hours of President Harrison's
administration. Later it was withdrawn
from the senate and pigeonholed.
The revenue Of the government in 1880
was little over $50000o, derived chiefly
from customs duties, taxes on real and
personal property, and poll tax. But
the receipts do not balance the expendl-
lures, and there has been growing ma
tional debt which now amounts to con.
siderably over $2,0O0,000.
The financial statistics published at
the close of 1896 makes rather better
showing than those of previous years,
being aS follows:
