PANA's STREET RIOT.
The Negroes Were Kept I'm Their
StOckadeS Yesterday.


StOckades Yesterday.
Pana, ILL.,, Sept. 29.-Intense excitement
prevailed here to-day as a result of last
nights street riot between the imported
negro miners and the union miners. The
principal streets were filed with miners
and citizens armed to the teeth.
The negro arrested last night. who at
tempted to take Policeman Smiths life
by an attack with a knife, and whose ar
rest started the riot, failed to appear in
court to-day for trial
Mine Operator George V. Penwell, who
gave bail for the negro, also failed to
appear.
Warrants were issued to-day for all the
negroes concerned in the riot. How many
negroes were wounded and how severely,
cannot be learned. No one is permitted to
enter the negro stockade and the opera
tors refuse to give out any information.
H. E. Bishop, a bystander, is the only
white citizen wounded.
The negroes have not shown up on the
streets to-day and it is thought the opera
tors will keep them within the stockades
until the excitement subsidies.

DOMINION VOTES PROHIBITION.
Indications at Quebec That Every
Province Has Gone Dry.

Quebec, Sept. 29.-Reports from all parts
of the Dominion Indicate that the vote for
and against prohibition has been rather
light. The heaviest vote against pro-
hibition was in the province of Quebec,
French clergy having advised against Il
on the ground that it would only make
lawbreakers, so that with the liquor traf-
fic destroyed there would be no way for
raising the 100000 which annually
comes to the Dominion from the liquor
trade. The indications tonight are that
prohibition has been carried by large
majority. but probably not more than half
the registered vote of the Dominion has
been cast.
Estimates place the majority against
prohibition in the province at 1900
Prohibition carried In Manitoba by about
5000 majority.
Returns from Ontario show a small ma
jority against prohibition.
This is gain of $4,000 since the last vote
In 1894.
The majority in Nova Scotia for prohibit
ton is about 10000

POLGCE FOR SANTIAGO.
Large Number of Cubnns to Pre-
serve Order There.

serve Order There.
Santiago. Sept. 9.-Arrangements have
been completed for the formation of a
force of Cuban mounted police for the
province of Santiago. 1t consists of a
oommandant, with the rank of major,
three captains, six lieutenants, ten ser
geants and 30 enlisted men. The rates
of pay of the enlisted men are the same
as in the United States army, while the
officers get two-thirds.
Gen. Castillo has charge of the pre-
hminaries of the appointments. He must
select capable men who have served in
the Cuban army, and the officers must
have held similar or a higher rank in the
Cuban army. This police force will have
a large territory to cover, and it is ex-
pected that as soon as the Cuban troops
disband the lawless element will break
loose and will have to be kept in check
Even at present quantities of cattle are
stolen and complaints are frequent to both
Gen. Wood and Gen. Castillo and they are
determined to put an end to this state of
affairs
The Cubans are beginning to understand
that the sudden change they wanted after
the surrender would have caused disorder
and confusion, while now every day a
number of Cubans are appointed to posi-
tons of power and emolument.
The United states collector of customs
here, Mr. Donaldson, has requested Gen.
Lawton to appoint United States consuls
al Guantanamo, Santiago and Manzanillo.
The treasury department at Washington
seemingly considers that the Island of
cuba is foreign property and requires
oaths before consuis in the transaction of

GOVERNMENT STANDS BY HoBsoN

supporting His Judgment Against
That of Expert Wreckers.
Washington, Sept 29.-Assistant Secre-
tary Allen, who has been directly in
charge of the arrangements made by the
wrecl1ing companies for raising such OF
the Spanish warships, sunk or stranded,
in the battle of July 8, as can be recov-
cred, said to-day, referring to Constructor
Hobsons work on the Teresa, that the
navy department had given the young con-
structor all of the assistance which 1t was
possible to extend in the prosecution of
his work. Moreover, it is now proposed
to give him further aid in his effort to
raise the Colon, by far the finest ship of
the Spanish squadron.
Whatever credit has been earned by
Constructor Hobson by reason of the Te-
resa would, in the opinion of Mr.. Allen
be largely exceeded if the attempt to raise
the Colon results successfully. In the
case of this ship, the young constructor
has pledged his professional reputation
against the unanimous opinion of all the
expert wreckers who have examined the
ship. Yet, the navy department is I'M
hesitatingly supporting Hobson's judg-
ment as is indicated by the fact that yes
terday it shipped from New York $4,000
worth of specially manufactured rubber
air-bags to be used in lifting the Coin.
Aside from the sentimental reason for
sparing no effort to save this ship, the
navy department is satisfied from the re-
ports of the divers who have investigated
her condition that she is we'll worth from
a purely monetary point of view. the ex-
penditure of a considerable percentage OF
her original value, about 100000, if there
| is reasonable prospect of raising her.
