Madrid May 24.-In the senate yes
terday Count Almenas vehemently
protested against the alleged action of
some American warships in displaying
the Spanish flag in order to deceive the
garrison of Guantanamo, as announced
in a dispatch from Captain General
Blanco, who added that the American
ships were Immediately recognized
and repulsed' The count asked if
the government had notified the pow
ers of this incident.
The minister of the interior, Senior
Capdepon, replied that he had notified
the powers and described this reported
action as "cowardly and inlquitous."
Count Almenas then said that "in
view of Americas manner of making
war, Spain must Immediately decree
priyateering, in order to utterly des-
troy American shipping"
To this the minister of the interior
replied that the government had de-
liberated upon the matter "and had
even taken certain decisions, which
would shortly be known"
cans "act of piracy was admitted by
certain theorists as international law"
Senior Martinez Pacheo remarked
that it was doubtful whether such an
act was legal, But" he added, Gin
face of the Americans conduct in the
war with Spain we must not show con-
sideration for them"
Continuing. the speaker protested
against Spain's adherence to the Gen
eva convention, whereupon the min
lister of the interior replied that Spain
had not yet entered the convention
Vntican's DECLARATION OF Neutrality.
London, May 2i.-The Rome CORE
spondent of The Chronicle says he
learns that the Vatican's declaration Of
neutrality was due TO a notification
from Washington that no manifesto
tions of sympathy with Spain would be
tolerated.

From the Black Diamond.
Brumm had become so surfeited with
honors ut the hands of the citizens of the
county that he got to imagine he was stronger
than the people. The results of yesterday S
delegate elections in the several districts
must show Brumm, if he be open to conyic-
tion-tf a. his political star has set. Notice
has been served that the party must not con-
slider Brumm among the eligible candidates
for Congress in the Republican ranks. If the
desperate characters surrounding Mr. Brumm
Insist that the party be driven to certain de-
feat by nominating him, it is duty that un-
selfish Republicans owe themselves and their
party to repudiate any such ticket. The
party can win this year as easily as any
other, but it must not be freighted with poll
tical rascals like Brumm.

As to the whereabouts of the Spanish fleet,
naval officials profess to he certain that it is
sun at santiago de cuba, having arrived
there last Thursday. American scouts have
been i'm that vicinity since the news of the
arrival of the cucmy'~ fleet, and as NO report
has been made of Admiral Ccrycw's depar-
urc it is believed hc has not changed his
base of supplies.
Naval strtcgi,ts are confident that the
objective point of the Spanish fleet is Hava-
ma, and if he can successfully cvadc the
American fleets and reach that port, expects
to be reinforced by the Madrid Government by
despa,chiug several warships and destroyers

BETTER WORKING TIME.
An Ohciai Says There win he AN I'm
provemont in the Trade.


That a marked improvement in the coal
trade is in sight seems to be generally ac-
cepted by leading officials of the coal com
panies and il cannot come too soon to please
the laboring classes.
General Manager Luther is quoted in an
interview as saying that commencing with
next month he expects the collieries TO work
four tbree-quaiter days OF even better each
week, and that this order Of working is to be
continued until the winter at least.
This expected improvement in the trade is
accounted for in the opening up Of the large
western shipments of anthracite coal. Dur
ing the past week over two hundred cars
daily are being sent from the Schuylkih
region through Shamokin consigned TO west
ern points.
The Reading Company will end its fsca
year on June Both, and it is reported that the
company will endcavor to market larger
quantity of coal than usual next month. The
market requirements of newly mined
anthracite for June is estimated at 2,5O0OOO
tons The New England demand for anthra-
cite is still lisht, fair volume of old orders
being moved.
The Philadelphia ledger speaking upon
the trade says Our comments upon a rc-
duction of royalties appear to have met a
ready acceptance for the absentee lard
lords" Of the coal regions seem to nave few
/ it any defenders. 1t is generally recognized
that Anthracite must be sold cheaper to vii h
stand competition and royalty is the only
| producing cost that can be reduced. As il
| has not shared in the pairing down process
heretofore, it should now stand reduction
as all other items have"

The Leader of the Posse that Shot
Broncho Bill.
Capt. J. ID. Milton, of Wells, Fargo
IL Co., returned Tuesday morning from
his hunt and capture of "Broncho
Bill" and his partner Bill Johnson, the
two notorious outlaws and train rob-
bers
Captain Milton and his party con-
sistiAg of himself, George Scarborough,
Young Thacker, son of Wells Facgo's
detective, and a man named Martin
had camped on Black river at one of
its few crossings and the next morning
were up around camp taking it easy.
Martin was huating horses and Milton
was catching trout out of the stream
when some one commenced shooting
near by. Milton locked up and saw
"Broncho Bill" g. short distance away
shooting at snake The outlaw had
not seen Milton yet and when the Off
Ger got up and started towards camp
to get his rifle "Broncho BilP' followed
him thinking he was some cowboy.
The outlaw rode up to camp by the
time Milton arrived, his two partners
remaining upon the hill above. He
did not discover that he was riding
into the arms of the off GERS until the
common "throw up" was given by
Milton. Instead of stopping he turned
to run and at the same time COM
menced firing, but was soon brought
to the ground mertally wounded by
the officers who all opened fire. While
the officers were taking "Broncho Bill''
in his two partners who were in the
rocks above were pouring heavy rifle
fire into the officers but without effect
though the bullets were getting close.
Having disposed of the heal robber
the officers then turned there attention
TO his assistants and soon had one of
them fatally shot and the other one
running for his life. On account of
the roughness of the country he get
away, but not till his horse was killed
from under him.
Capt. Milton says the fight didn't
last more than a minute or two, but
it was rather lively while it did last.
The officers while in pursuit of the
robbers rode at night and layed up in
the day time that is the reason they
were lounging around and that is also

Dewey's Reward.

The question of the amount of the
bounty earned by Admiral Dewey and
his men in the battle of Manila has
been settled by the judge advocate
general of the navy. The law pro
vides that when tine American war
ship is superior to the defeated war
ship of the enemy. 500 shall be paid
as bounty for each man of the eneiny' s
vessel, but if the american vessel is
inferior to the other then 5000 shall be
paid for each member of the enemy's
crew. While some of the Spanish
ships that met defeat from Dewey s
squadron were superior to some of the
American gunboats, as for example,
the little Petrol, it was decided 10y the
Judge advocate general that distinc-
tions could not be made, and the re-
lative strength of the opposing squa-
drons should be made the b4sis of set
Element as to the amount of money to
be paid to the American officers and
sailors. The judge advocate decided
that Dewey's fleet was superior to that
of Admiral Montijo and the distribu-
ton of bounty Will be made OH the
basis of 500 for every Spaniard at
tached to Montijo's fleet. lie is stated
that the Spanish crew numbered 1000
men, If this is correct the amount of
100000 will be distributed among
Dewey's men. Dewey will get SO 900
as his share
