STRIKERS ARE PEACEFUL
And Will Remain So Until They See Negroes
Then for Trouble.

Carlinville, H., Oct. 6-The town of
Virden, presents decidedly martial
aspect, fully $500 armed miners having
been organized into squads which pa
troll the railroad tracks and highways.
The men sleep in barns, empty store
rooms, box cars and on the sidewalks,
wherever room can be found. Mayor
Noll has issued orders closing all sa-
looms while the present trouble lasts.
Commissary arrangements for feeding
the miners have been perfected.
The strikers are not molesting the
company's plant. Manager Lukeus,
fearing an attempt to destroy the
stockade, called on Sheriff Davenport
for deputies. The heading merchants
offered to go on the bonds of num-

the company's property would not be
molested as long as the negroes We're
not in sight. The offer was refused by
Lukens who reaffirmed his purpose of
bringing in Alabama negroes and in
sisted that the sheriff be in readiness
to invoke state aid. The sheriff says
he will do his duty and Will only call
on Gov. Tanner as a last resort.

AGENcILLo SATISFIED
With Results OF His Visit to Washington and
Americans.

Washington. Oct. 6.-Senor Agencillo,
Aguinaldo's representative, said, Tues
day: ut is a mistake and a deception to
say that We are dissatisfied with what
has been accomplished for the Philip
pines since We have been in Washington
While we have not accomplished all that
could have been desired by our govern
ment ard our people, yet we are fully sat
isfed, and it can be truthfully said that
we have accomplished many of the pur-
poses for which we We're sent.
1--WE are highly pleased at the recep-
ton we have been accorded. and believe
now that the American people have a bet
ter understanding of what the Philippine
people are and what they desire which is
absolute independence.
1--WE have been treated with courtesy
and must say that my report to my peo-
pie and to President Aguinaldo must be
all praise for the Americans. We will go
to Paris, and there we shall lay our
claims before the commission. / am con-
fident of success, and believe that the in
dependence of the Philippines is assured.
We have been greatly pleased and
aided by the reports which have come in
since cur arrival here from the American
officers in Manila. think they are favor
able to our people. and are, of course
bound to have a great influence upon this
country. They bear out the statements
l have made.
When the Paris peace commission has
maze it's decision as to the disposal of
the Philippine Islands, we shall return ITO
America and to Washington, with our
present representative in Paris, and es-
tablish a junta, similar to that main
tanned by the Cubans, if our independence
is not accorded us. and a legation if what
We hope for is granted us. OF course, We
are in TO position to contend against so
powerful a nation as the United States
but we will never lay down arms against
Spain until she recognizes that we are
no longer her subjects
The F'ilipinos are amply provided with
funds, and during their stay in Washing
ton they have not stinted themselves!
They state that their revolutionary gov
eminent is now beginning to adopt plans
to receive revenue and taxes, but that
heretofore the government and the war
lave been nearly all sustained by volun-
tary contributions. Senior Agencillo is,
however, quite wealthy himself.

CONTROL CUSTOM HOUSES.
When Spaniards Give Place 10 Americans
Things Will be Much Better.

New York. Oct. 6.-Among the pas
sengers on board the steamer Saratoga
from Havana, today, was Hon. Robert
p. Porter.
Mr.. Porter said, in reference to the
present condition in Cuba: "At the
present time l am in favor of admit
Ating cattle into Cuba Free The pres
ent condition of the country people is
very distressing. The rainy season is
almost over and it is imperative that
the crops for the present year be plan
ted at once or else they will be put off
for some time.
Il found in Santiago that things We're
much more satisfactory than in Ha-
vana. for the reason that the United
States is in control there The great
question is not SO much the evacuation
OF Cuba as 1T is the getting control of
the custom house. When we get con-
tfol OF that there will be some chance
for prosperity. One of the most i'm
portant subjects that came up was the
tariff on tobacco. The Cubans claim
that their tobacco is the best in the
world and want us to discriminate
| against our product. This will never
do. The tobacco question, however,
will be adjusted
| OF the insurgents he said: THE Gu
| bans seem to me to be splendid soldiers
and law abiding fellows. They will
make excellent guards and should be
employed as such. They are anxious
| for peace and work and not becoming
guerrillas as recent report states.
Il am not converted to free trade, but
I believe that there should be perfect
reciprocity between the island and the
| United States

TALES OF AWFUL SUFFERING.
Cubans Will Soon Be Exterminated Unless
Food is Sent to Them.

New York, Oct. 6.-The members of the
Cuban lunta here are much concerned
about the stories of suffering from lack
of food received by them in their advices
from the Cuban army. Letters have come
which state that the condition of the
army and of the rural population in Cuba
is now worse. than it has been even dur
ing the continuance of the war. The
junta officials here maintain that the
course adopted by the Spanish is result
ing as effectuany in causing death to the
Cuban insurgents and pacificoS as did the
policy of recommendations and extermina-
tion adopted by Weyler.
The following is an extract from let
ter received by Horatio S. Rubens, coun-
sci to the jurta here:
Nobody can form an adequate idea of
the horrors of our position. Famine
causes more deaths in our ranks than
lave heretofore the bullets of the enemy.
If within month we do not receive
much food, more than one-third Of .ne
Cuban army and of the rural population
will cease to exist, and even month
may be too late"
Counsel Rubens said this extract was
but one of a score or more similar in
effect received by him. The Spanish hold
the interior. The Spanish maintain that
the status quo provided by the protocol is
that the towns take care of themselves,
and the Cubans in the country, including
pathy with the insurgents, take care of
themselves. all warfare ceasing. This -

out the policy of RECOMMENDATION and

if possible, the speedy insstence by the
American peace commissioners at Ha-
vana on the discontinuance of the ex-
cessive Spanish duties on food importa-
tons is said to be the chief reason for
the visit of the delegate, Tomas Estrada
Palma to washington, just now.

Jamaica's Industrial Situation Grows Worse

Kingston, jam, Oct. 6.-The industrial

morning, one of the leading newspapers

This refers to the important fact that,
owing Ito the government arbitrary ac-
ton in enforcing the tobacco and excise
law passed last year, in spite of popular
protests and memorial. most of the to-

mess. These include all the Cuban culti-

with their expert employees, are return
