nected with the mounted police sunk
three holes in different parts of the riv-
er bar and the dirt averaged $3.50 per

NEW VESSEL AT HAVANA.
Spanish Line of BattIeship Alfonso NH
Brings 1,5OO Soldiers.

Havana, March S.-By the hiss and
roar of rockets and military music Ha-
vana was awakened Sunday and and
the harbor was alive with craft, sum-
moned by signals flying at Moro castle,
announcing the arrival of another ship.
1t was not the expected cruiser Cristo-
bal Colon, but the Alfonso XIII of the
Spanish line, and on ner decks thronged
1,500 soldiers from Spain. AS she
moved . lIer anchorage tugs sho. out
from the piers with bands on board and
rocket batteries. afioat and ashore,
roared a welcome to the new regiments
which Spain pours into the western
world to the wonder of all nations.
On the tugs which circled the Alfonso
XIII were bands playing patriotic airs
and the soldiers replied with mighty
cheer as the ship crept by the trim
cruisers, the Vizcaya and the Oquendo.
and entered the smooth water. From
Moro Cabanas. and the awakening city
floated the music Of bugles and the far
off cheers with which Havana greeted
her friend in need. Rockets and bat
teres for an hour were never silent,
and bugles sang accompaniments to the
steeple bells ashore.

and Deputy Macola, director of the
Gazzetta di Venezia, in which the for

vallotti attacked his opponent vigorous
ly. The first two engagements were
without result. In the third Signor Ca
vallotti received a thrust in the throat

PEACH PROSPECT Is GOOD.
Orchards I'm Michigan Escape Damage
During the Winter.

Grand Rapids, Mich, March 8.-The
never more favorable at this time Of the
year than now. The trees were in per-
feet condition for cold weather when
winter began, and the winter has been
so uniformity mild that the trees have
not suffered. The danger from extreme
cold is now past but late frosts are yet
TO be apprehended, and not until June
Will the growers be entirely out of the
woods.
At all the farmers and fruit growers
institutes held during the winter much
attention has been given to the matter
of marketing fruit, and material inn
provements over previous seasons are
promised. The grading will be closer,
the sorting better, and the instances
when all the big peaches are on top will
be more rare. The growers around Shell
by have an incorporation through
which they handle their entire product.
They have a warehouse where the fruit
is sorted and graded as il is delivered.
and when it is shipped it goes not as
the product of any one grower. but Of
the association. The proceeds from the
Plles VI the lrult, dlter paying the GA
penses. are divided pro rata.
The Fennville peach growers have
similar association, and. in addition.
last season had a Chicago warehouse,
and one of their own members in charge
of it, to sell the stock instead Of depend
ing on commission men. In this city
the growers have an association for
mutual benefit, through which they ad-
vertise Grand Rapids as peach mar
ket. Through the efforts Of their asso-
citation this city has become one Of the
greatest wholesale fruit markets In the
country, and during the peach season
buyers come from New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Detroit. Chicago, Buffalo,
Indianapolis. Minneapolis. and other
points to buy the peaches as they are
brought in by the growers.

WILL NOT REC ALL LEE.
Government at Madrid Meets with Re-
buff from Mckinley.

Government at Madrid Meets with Re
buff from Mckinley.
Washington, March Sit is true as
cabled that the Spanish government re-
Gently intimated a desire for the recall
of Consul General Lee. and suggested
that a merchant ship instead of man
of-war be employed to convey the re-
lief supplies to the reconcentrados at
Matanzas and Sagua lie Grande, but was
met with such a firm and emphatic
negative from President Mckinley that
the subject was dropped, and probably
will not again be referred to. The in
cident occurred some days ago, but
nothing was known about 1t In Wash
ington outside the White House and
the department of state until it leaked
out at Madrid and was cabled over.
The action of the Spanish government
seems to have been prompted by the
widely published and frequently de-
MED report that General Lee had in
formed the secretary of state that the
destruction of the Maine was due to ex-
ternai causes and was the result of a
conspiracy. But the president does not
consider that the Spanish have any
good reason to object to him, and Gen
eral Woodford was instructed to advise
them to that effect. He was also in
structed to inform them that the presi-
dent has complete confidence in General
Lees integrity and discretion, and in
tends to retain him at Havana as long
as his services are necessary.

Consul Barker Resigns.

New York. March S.-The Worlds
Havana correspondent sends word that
Walter b. Barker. consul at Sagua la
Grande for the United States. has re-
signed. 1t is alleged in Spanish quar-
ters that Consul Barker's resignation
is on account of friction with General
Lee over the improper distribution of
American charity, but The Worlds
correspondent declares that Mr.. Barker
is a warm friend of General Lee. Ac-
cordlng to the correspondent Consul
Barker feels that the American govern
ment. in it's inactivity regarding Cuban
affairs, has ignored all the consular re-
ports and that the consuls, to all in
tents and purposes, are useless as
channels of information.

Maloney, 81 years old, living alone in a
small house in Collinwood, a suburb,
was literally roasted to death while
kneeling in prayer. Neighbors discov-
cred the little cottage wrapped in

the house was partly consumed. The
charred remains of the woman were
found in a kneeling position by the side
of her bed. An ivory crucifix was tight
ly clasped in the withered hands and
the lips, though scorched by the deadly
fire, seemed still to be uttering prayers.

big STRIKE IS FEARED
Coal Mines in Southern illinois
May Be Closed.
ROW OVER SPRINGFIELD SCALE.
Manager of the st. Louis aud Big Muddy
Coal Company Gets His Miners to Work
at Cents Under the scale-Operators
and Miners Both Believe That the situa-
tioon May Soon Result I'm Great Walk
out at the Mines.

Springfield. Ills, March s.-Notwith-
standing that scale was recently fixed
at state meeting Of coal operators and
coal miners here for the coming year.
and all notions of strike for 1898
laughed at, the news from southern IL
linois is such that strike of immense
proportions is apparently likely to be in
augurated at any day. This will be
made possible from the fact that down
at Carterville. in Williamson county,
the manager of the st. Louis and Big
Muddy Coal company. one OF the largest
producing mines in the state, has signed
with his coal miners an ironclad con-
tract whereby coal will be produced at
33 cents per ton, gross weight. or 8
cents lower than the scale fixed for that
region at the recent state meeting. The
contract takes effect April 1, and is for
one year.
Cannot Compete Under the Scale.
Manager Brush Of the company says
his company cannot compete with other
companies throughout the state, under
the Springfield scale OF prices for min
ing coal. He accuses the Consolidated
and Madison Coal companies OF acting
in bad faith in endeavoring to gain con-
troll of the market by placing the scale
rate Of the Carterville mines so high
that competition therefrom will not be
had The miners were willing to accept
the cut and readily signed the contract.
The manager of the Madison company
says that IL the Carterville mine Is al
lowed to cut the Springfield scale that
other mines in the state will be obliged
to make a cut In self-protection and a
general strike may result all over the
state. meeting of coal operators has
been called for at ST. Louis whereby
an adjustment Of the difficulty may be,
If possible, effected
In the Hands Of the Court.
It is stated here that the big Muddy
mines are in the hands of the United
States federal court and worked under
supervision Of receiver. and that its
former proprietors are holding the
property in this position in order to de-
rive the benefits and protection afforded
by the court. 1t is remembered that at
the recent meeting here the delegates
from the Big Muddy companies refused
| to participate in the work OF the ses-
sions or in the joint conference of min
ers and operators whereby the state
scale was arranged and adopted. Oper-
ators and miners here both hold that
general strike may result over the af-
fair.
