Gigantic Coal Trust of Ohio Valley Oper.
ators Organized.

Detroit Mich, February a3.-The Ohio
coal trust has been perfected here under
the name of Central Coal and Coke com
pany. 1t is Incorporated under the laws
of Ohio and Its headquarters will be
Columbus. Its capital stock is $500, OoO
but this is nominal figure, and the real
capitalization is not known.
1t is understood that prices will be
raised and that the ooal-carrying roads in
Ohio will be allowed an increase in rates
after the settlement of the proposed
strike of miners in eastern Ohio, which il
scheduled for April l. This strike was
decided on at the recent convention OF
the Pennsylvania Miner association held
in Pittsburg. 1t will include the West
Virginia, Maryland and eastern Ohio
fields, and the entire district shipping to
the Atlantic seaboard, as we'll as the
Hooking Valley and West Virginia dis.
tricts will be affected. 1t is estimated
that so, GOO miners will be ordered out.
The trust will be fought for some time
by several companies still on the outside.
These companies, which operate several
good fields through Ohio have been offered
terms on which to enter the trust, but
they consider them not sufficient.

"There is nothing to prevent peer

SUFFERING IN MATANZAS.
Terrible Condition of Things Reported By
Commander of the Montgomery.

Santiago De Cuba, February 18.-While
the United States cruiser Montgomery
was at Matanzas recently, board OF
inquiry was appointed tosinquire into the
condition of the people of that province.
Although the exact terms of the report
are not known, it may be said that in
substance, it sets forth that there are
a.. 600 people absolutely without food and
clothing withinsthe city limits.
About 5000 of these live in small huts
Of palm branches. These form three
separate. villages beyond the built up por
| tions of the city.
The other ii 900 unfortunates live In
the streets of the city and are absolutely
without homes or shelter. These A. 900
are the laboring class who have been
driven into the cities from their country
homes, which have been destroyed by the
operations of the war. Most of them are
women and children.
According to the statistics gathered
from tine best official sources, the mum Der
of deaths in the province of Matanzas
from starvation lis SO, 900, and the number
of starving people at present inSthe
province Is estimated at SO ZOO, out of a
total population of 253, 6l6 in December,
1897.
In the city of Matanzas' alone there have
been about IL 600 deaths during the past
year. The death rates at present averages
46 per day. Those who are now begging
in the streets were a large part well-to-
do people or the children of well-to-do
people.
Whenever the United States officers
landed they were constantly followed by
olamoring crowds of starving men, wom-
en- and children who importuned them in
the most heart-rendering manner for a
little food.
So far as the board of officers of the
Montgomery could ascertain, Matanzas
at that time needed supply of food for
IA 900 people for at least one month in
addition to supplies of condensed milk
for invalids, medicines of all kinds and
clothing.
The Spanish authorities it may be said
in conclusion, have rendered all the as
sistance which it seems possible for them
to provide.
