strike in this vicinity came to an end
Friday afternoon when A. L. Sweet,
general manager of the Chicago, Will
mington and Vermillion Coal company,
agreed to pay the price demanded by
the men, which is Ga cents ton for

over screens, and are elated over their
victory

wEYLER EAGER FOR WAR.
Willing to Lead Spanish Force
Against United States.

Madrid, Dec. 13.-Gen. Weyler said
Saturday at Barcelona that, consider
ing SPANS military and naval strength
and the courage of her soldiers, she had
nothing to fear from a war with the
United States. Gen. Weyler continues:
IF such a war becomes necessary. I
Will consider 1t my greatest military glory
to take command of military expedition
against the United States. / approve the
language Of the papers hostile to McKin-
ley's message, but think that even they
are too cold in their censures. Never have
such insults as those of Mckinley against
the representative of an army of friendly
nation remained unpublished"
Gen. Weyler said that in defense of
his campaign and honor of the army in
publish the diplomatic notes exchanged
with the United States, chiefly one sent
by Premier Canovas on the 4th of Au-
gust, this year. AS regards the leader
ship of the new Robledoist party, he
said, he did not want it. Robledo had
been very wise in proclaiming himself
the leader ad interim only. Circum-
stances alone could decide who would
be the leader.
Madrid, Dec. 13-Lieut. Gen. Weyler
arrived here Sunday afternoon. He
was received at the platform by Gen.
Azcarraga, former premier; Gen. Bor-
zero, former commander of the Sixth
army corps, and by number of repub-
licans, Carlists, conservatives and Ro-
beldoists. AS. he alighted from the
train they cheered him and then carried
him shoulder high to the entrance of
the railway station, where he took
carriage and was rapidly driven off.
There was no further incident, the pub
lie appearing Indifferent. The par
tisans of Gen. Weyler pretend that
crowd of 5000 people rendered him an
ovation with shouts of Long live Wey-
ler!" death to the Yankees!" and
the like. He will be received by tho
queen regent to-day.

from Shanghai says: On Friday last
Capt. Becker, with 80 German marines,
left Kiao-Chou bay to occupy the sur
rounding villages, whence they pro-
ceeded to capture the city. The Chi

mans replied, killing three of the gar
rison, which thereupon fed in disorder.
The Chinese general in command was
captured, but afterward liberated.
Several German sailors were injured by
stones flung by the inhabitants of the
villages. In return for this the head
men of these villages were beaten with
bamboo sticks by order of the German
commander. 1t is reported here that
China is willing to pay an indemnity of
100000 taels (about $765,350) and to
grant all the German demands, includ-

SETTLEMENT EFFECTED.
German-Chinese Difficulty Said to
Have Been Arranged.

Picking, Dec. 13.-The German-Chi-
nese difficulty is practically settled.
The Germans refuse 20 discuss the oc-
cupation of Kiao Chou bay; the govern
or of Shan-Tung province has been re-
moved from Office, but will not be any
further degraded; no monopoly of mines
and railroads is conceded to Germany,
but that country is given preference.
Finally the area Immediately surround
ing Kiao Chou bay is set apart exclu-
sively for Germany. China yields on
all other points.
London, Dec. 13.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail says he
hears that Great Britain agrees not to
oppose Germany's occupation of Kao-
Chou in return for Germany's promise
not to interfere in the Egyptian cues
ton. According to dispatch from
Shanghai to the same paper, the Ger
mans are extending the area of oc-
cupation at Kiao-Chou and now control
400 square miles. They have arranged
a German administration and are al
ready collecting duties.

mands of the Kaiser.


Port au Prince, Hayti, Dec. S.-The
trouble between Germany and Hayti
appears to be settled. The Haytian
government has saluted the German

understood that the question of the
indemnity demanded by Germany for
the alleged illegal arrest and imprison-
ment of Herr Emil Lteders, a German
subject, has been settled to the salts
faction of Germany and that all the de-
mands of that country have been agreed
to by the government of Hayti, in face
of the display of force made by Ger
many and under the threat of bonn
bardment of the defensive works of the
port unless these demands were agreed
to within the eight hours following
the time the German ultimatum was
delivered Monday morning, shortly
after the arrival at this port of the two
German cruisers sent to back up the
