cago Agreement.

Pittsburg. August 2.-1f the coal ope-
rators of the Pittsburg district do not
conform with the terms OF the Chicago
agreement by August 10 five thousand
miners will be ordered to strike. This
is the decision of the convention OF the
United Mine Workers of this district,
now in session here A series OF strikes
are to be inaugunated In the Yough dis
trict, the third pool, and If it is at all
possible, the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal Company will be compelled
to pay a penalty for mining coal at
rate lower than provided in the agree
ment.
1--WE are not anarchists nor chronic
disturbers, but our organization is de-
termined to see the terms of the Chi
cago agreement enforced" said Nation
al President NJ. d. Ratchford. by a
strike do not mean that there will be
bloodshed and all that sort OF thing,
but a peaceable fight for the enforce
ment OF the agreement"
A five per cent levy to pay the ex-
penses Of the strike was ordered.

AN INVESTIGATION
To Be Made of the Improper Treat
ment ofSick and Wounded Soldiers.

Washington, August 2. - An effort
will be made by the War Department
to ascertain the official at Shafter' s
Headquarters who Is responsible for
dispatching to the United States
transports loaded with soldiers, and
which are alleged to be unfit for the
work to which they are put.
At the same time rigid investiga-
ton is to be made of the charges by
the Red Cross officials and Others
concerning the unfitness Of the trans
port Concho. The investigation will
be made by Col H. c. Heyl, of the in
spector generals office.
General Skaters health reports
show that he is caring for over 5000
sick people, including Spanish sol
diers. The task is formidable, and
probably explains the lack of ade-
quate preparation Of the transports,
The condition of these boats was
found to be shocking. Some court
martials may be looked for in high
places unless it can be shown clearly
that the lack of preparation was IN
avoidable.

very unusual proceeding took place at
Circuit Court last night. Harris Moore,
the negro who attempted to poison the
family of United States Court Judge

guilty to all the charges in the indict-
ments, and was sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary for life. Moore was indicted
for both larceny of $500 and the at

On the stand Moore stated he was

bon and there is strong prospect
that peace will be concluded. 1t
is not to be supposed that the Uni
ted States government will object
to representations being made on
the Philippine question and upon
some pecuniary claims which were
mooted by the United States in the
West Indies. On all the remaining
main issues, Spain shows a dispo-
sition to assent to the American
demands"
London, August 3.-The Madrid
correspondent of the Daily Mail
says:
The government has accepted the
principal of the conditions, but the
acceptance will not be made public
until inquiries to Washington on
matters of detail have been settled,
thus rounding off the preliminary
basis"
New York, August "A special
cable to the Evening Journal from
Madrid, published in a late extra
edition of that paper, says:
Spain accepts the principal con-
ditions of peace as set forth by the
American government and only the
peace details are needed to cause
all hostilities to cease at once.
"A peace delegation will be chos-
en- at once to confer with the rep
resentatives of the United States.
The peace conditions set forth by
President Mckinley were discussed
at length by Minister Sagasta, and
at the conclusion it was given out
officially that the terms of the Uni
ted States would be accepted.
There are enc or two amendments
in the proposition of the United
States that Spain will ask to be
made, and if this is done, peace
will be declared at once"
London, August 3.-The Madrid
correspondent of the Daily News
says: The governments reply to
the American peace terms left here
Monday evening. The government
believes that the nature of the ne
gotiations requires the greatest
secrecy and that their success will
depend upon the observance of the
most absolute reserve here. Off
cial silence, therefore, is complete.
London, August 3.-The Rome
correspondent of the Daily Chron-
icle says:
Spain, it is asserted here, has
accepted the American terms with
unimportant reservations and the
peace preliminaries will be signed
before Saturday. t

NEW YORK, August "A cable

WEIR, OF THE FIFTH ILLINOIS.
NOW HAVING Els INNING
Chickamauga, August 2.-The two
subjects of interest at Camp Thomas
at present are the expected arrival of
the paymasters tomorrow and the ex-
petition which, it is reported, is being
arranged in Washington for Major Gen.
eral Wade.
The paymasters ere expected to set
in at an early hour tomorrow. The
pay rolls Of all are complete. The
total to be paid will be near $1,5oo, 600.
Nothing has yet been heard from
Washington ip regard to Gen. wade's
expedition and the officers and men OF
all the regiments here continue ON the
anxious seat. The impression prevails
that Gen. Wade will take with him the
regiments best fitted no matter to
which corps or divisions they may be-
long, and every regiment is now at
tempting to press its fitness and its
right to be included in the expedition,
In one regiment petition to the war
department is being circulated and lib
orally signed.
Gen. Breckenridge, the new COM
mander, is expected tonight.
Recently the boys OF the Fifth Illi-
nois had their fun and now Colonel Gull
yer will have his inning. He has an
nouced that every non-commissioned
officer who took part in the demon
stration last week after the regiment
was recalled, will be reduced to the
ranks. The new camp of the Fifth has
been thoroughly cleaned and now pre-
sents pretty appearance.
THEIR REGULAR DRILLS
have been resumed in the Fifth and
now everything is working smoothly.
The Second Kentucky is expecting

arrived in few days. Up to this time
the recruits have been compelled to
drill and work with what clothing they
brought and this was not much. The
recruits have been without shoes and
clothing and their position has been
anything but enviable.
A dispatch received late tonight
says:
The Fifth Illinois infantry, which
was heretofore twice ordered to the
front and as many times ordered back
into camp. received final orders from
the war department this afternoon to
proceed to Newport News, there to re-
port to Brig. Gen. Fred d. Grant for
embarkation with his brigade to Porto
Rico

Washington, d. c., August g.
Shortly before midnight Secretary
Alger, as he left the White House
after a conference with the Presi-
dent, said the administration had
received no official information that
the Madrid government had accep-
ted the terms of peace proposed by
the United States.
Unofficially, the President had
been informed that the Spanish
ministry had acceded to the terms
Of this country for cession of the
war.
The unofficial advices have reach
ed the President in the form not
only of press dispatches, but OF
private dispatches from confiden-
tial agents of the United States
government
:. While this government has
strong reasons for believing that it's
terms of peace have been agreed to
by the Madrid government, the
President is taking nothing for
granted.
Arrangements for pressing the
war to a successful conclusion are
going forward precisely as if no
negotiations for peace were in
progress.
At a conference participated in
by the President, Secretary Alger
and Adiutant General Corbin at
the executive mansion, tonight,
final decision was reached as to the
constitution of the provisional
corps for Porto Rico to be COM
manded by Gen. Wade.
The regiments which are to COM
prise the corps were decided upon
and will be designated in a general
order to be issued probably to-
morrow. Secretary Alger said that
the corps might be en- route to
Porto Rico within a week.
Notwithstanding these warlike
preparations the belief in official
circles tonight amounts almost to
a conviction that active hostilities
practically have been concluded.
A prominent official of the admins
tration said tonight: "The end is
near, in my opinion. The informa-
ton thus far received is unofficial
and meagre, but that it is accu-
rate, in the main, we have no rea-
son to doubt. In fact, we have rea-
son to believe it is correct"
It is understood that the "rea-
son" referred to is contained in
the private advices received by
the President, and from private
dispatches received by represent
atives of foreign governments at
this capital.
Ambassador CambOn, who is
conducting the negotiations for
the Spanish government, has not
communicated with the President
tonight, and 1t is not probable
that the official response to the
terms proposed by the United
States has yet reached the French
ambassador. Upon its receipt it
will be transmitted to the Presi-
dent without delay.
London, August 3.-The Madrid
correspondent of the Standard, tel

WORD OF COMMENT ON THE
PRESIDENT AND HIS ADVISORS
WHO ARE DIRECTING THE WAR
Portland, Me-, August 2.-The Re-
publicans Of the First Congressional
district held their convention here to-
day. After preliminary business, the
name of Thomas B. Reed was present
ed to the convention and he was nom
mated by reclamation amid much en-
thusiasm.
Later Mr.. Reed appeared on the
floor of the hall. He was greeted with
deafening applause, which prevailed
until Mr.. Reed began to speak. Then
some enc shouted, "Take the plat
form" No. SAID Mr.. Reed. 'let me
have my way once" and the conven-
ton broke into laughter.
Mr.. Reed then spoke as follows:
II am very grateful for your con-
tinued kindness to me. and, being in
Portland, it is not unsuitable for me to
come here and say so.
Il have no other purpose than this.
A newspaper the other day announced
that l would come here and open the
campaign. This is not so. ! shall not
open any campaign for the simple rea-
son that there seems to be no campaign
to open.
"In this district there appears to be
thus far great harmony in both parties
as to the great issues of the past, and
1 shall leave to somebody else the task
of disturbing it. All over the country
also there is a dearth of political feel
ing. l never knew less of it in all the
years which l have known of such
things. To me this seems fortunate
for the country. ] do not refer to the
war alone. The war is taking care Of
ished by the fighting qualities of our
soldiers; qualities not diminished by
thirty-three years of peace; and by the
skill of our naval gunners, engineers
and sailors, which skill the general
education of our people seems to have
wonderfully increased. The unfalter-
ing courage of both soldiers and sailors
is a cause Of pride to every American
"The problems after the war will be
the most troublesome and will demand
the most earnest effort of us ALL For
my part hope that all these problems
may be worked out consistently with
our time honored and dearly bought in
situations and with the tradition Of our
wise forefathers.
Returning to the purpose for which
I came here, renew my thanks to you
for your continued and unvarying good
WILL That good will, permit me tC
say, has not consisted half so much in
bestowing and continuing to bestow on
me a position of distinction, as it has in
the large liberty you have always given
me in interpreting your wishes. | am
proud to say that that consideration is
not the characteristic Of my district
but of the whole State of Maine"
After adopting resolutions endorsing
Mr.. Reed and endorsing the declaration
| Of principles made by the Republican
State convention last June the conven-
| ton adjourned.

Commodore Schley then proceeded to San
tiago in pursuit Of the Spaniards, leaving a
gunboat and cruiser behind at Cienfuegos.
SAMPSON RETURNS.
Admiral Sampson started east on the north
ern coast of Cuba shortly after Schley left
Key West. Sampson continued his course as
far as the old Bahama Channel, near the
Windward Passage. and there learned that
Schley had the Spanish fleet bottled up at
Santiago. Sampson accordingly ordered his
feet, then consisting Of fifteen vessels back
to Havana. and has probably reached there
by this time.
On Wednesday afternoon Sampson is
known to have been off CayO Frangoso
speeding westward. During the time that
Sampson and Schley left here they have been
in close communication with the naval
authorities at Washington.
Key West, May 27.-A torpedo boat just
arrived here from Cienfuegos with important
dispatches from Commodore Schley, says
last week several ships of the lattsr's
squadron entered the harbor of Cienfuegos,
filled their bunkers with coal, and then re-
tired without drawing the fire of the Spanish
batteries. On the day previous communica-
tion was established with the insurgents and
large quantities of ammunition landed.
