VIRDEN. Ills, Oct. 14.-Aside from
the restraining influence of the militia
no progress has been made toward per-
manent peace. The idle miners are ex-
citable AM determined, while the Chi
cago- Virden Coal company has shown
no sign OF a parpose to abandon its plan
of operating it's mine with imported
negroes. Wednesdays shooting has
resulted in 10 deaths, as follows:
Ernest Kitterly miner of Mt. Olive.
Ellis Smith, miner of Mt. Olive.
Ed Welsh, miner of Springfield.
William Blue, miner, Springfield.
Ernest hemmler, miner, Mt Olive.
A. II. Brennaman, miner, Girard.
Frank Bilyen, miner, Springfield.
Ed Green, miner, Mt. OIL i've, died in
hospital at spring field.
Ernest Long, miner Mt. Olive, died
in hospital at Springfield.
d. A. Kiley, Chicago and Alton de-
tective, Chicago.
A. W. Carroll, guard on train, died
in hospital at Springfield.
Al W. Morgan, guard, Chicago, killed
in stockade.
Charles Preston, guard, Chicago,
killed at stockade.
The number of injured is estimated
at about 90. OF these a few are in a
critical condition.
The coroner's inquest brought out no
evidence of Importance. About 30
miners were examined, the sitting ad-
journing until today.
1t is said Store Manager Egster will
recover.
At a meeting of the executive COM
mlttee of the strikers Chairman John
Belger asserted that not man among
the Thiel agency and Pinkerton detec-
tives stationed within the stockade had
been sworn in as deputy sheriff. He
followed this statement by declaring
that all of them could be held as acces-
sores on a charge Of murder.
The matter was discussed and deci-
sion made to employ counsel ana lay
the matter before the tirand jury
A special train consisting of one box
car, three apparently empty coaches
and caboose passed through here last
evening which bore two carloads of ne
groes taken through here to Springfield
Wednesday, The train went south and,
by clever ruse, succeeded in passing
through Nirden quietly and without in
reference A big crowd of miners was
at the station, but the militia held them
in check.
When the train stopped at the stock
ade Captain FEWER, who was in COM
mand, then shouted: Don't allow
any one to disembark from that train. /"
The gate was opened and file of sol
diers rushed out on the double quick
with fixed bayonets and lined up along
side of the train. General Manager
Lukens requested, then demanded that
their employees be allowed to land and
enter the stockade. The officer replied
that he was under orders from Gov
ernor Tanner to prevent the disembark-
ing of any negro miners at the works
and he would have to carry out those
instructions The train pulled out,
headed south.
BY this time the advance guard of
strikers gathered at the depot had ad-
vanced up the track TO within 100 yards
of the stockade. The presence of the
armed bluecoats in the lookout boxes
evidently halted them. as they re-
manned there until the train passed,
when they greeted it with waving hats
and cheers Tor Governor Tanner who
they believed had been instrumental in
starting the blacks on their homeward
journey.

France IS. ASSISTING Spain.
FURNISHING MONEY WITH WHICH
TO PURCHASE BATTLEsHIPs.
A PROBABLE ALLIANCE MADE.
spain's Credit IL No Good, But She 10
Securing War Vessels From Other
Nations without Any Trouble.

A special from London says: Spain
has purchased two cruisers which the
Armstrong; have been building for
Brazil, the Amazonius and sister
ship, unnamed, Of 1000 tons each,
twenty-three kpots and ten guns.
Spain is also negotiating for and will
probably secure two cruisers Of SINH
lar type which have been building in
France for Brazil.
The Amazonius is ready for launch
ing and her sister ship will soon be
ready.
The Spanish government is also en-
deavoring to secure guns and large
supplies of ammunition in England
and on the continent for immediate
use.
The government of Spain seems to
have funds, for it is understood to be
paying @ large part Of the purchase
money in cash, giving good security
for the balance. these being the only
terms upon which the Armstrong;
would deal.
Some weeks ago Spain attempted to
purchase ships and supplies in Eng
land on credit, from prominent firms
having close relations with the gov
eminent, but after inquiries the firms
refused to give credit. Since then
Spain has raised funds from unknown
sources.
Franco Backs Spain Financially.
Diplomats in London express the
belief that French financiers are help
ing the Spanish government.
It is known that Spain is trying to
purchase three other ships which are
being built by the Armstrong;, but
she has not yet succeeded in making
q bargain, consequently there is still
time if the United States wishes to
forestall her.
The United States could also fore
stall Spain in the purchase of other
ships building in English and CONT.
mental dockyards.
While Chile denies that any Of the
ships ordered for that country are fol-
sale, it is believed by naval construc.
tors that Chile's best cruiser, the
O'Higgins, which is just finished,
could be purchased.
