A STRIKE SETTLED
Virden Miners Will Soon Be at Work
Again

CARLINVILLE, H., Nov. l2.-The diff
ferences between the Chicago-Virden Goa
Company of Virden and Auburn and the
striking miners have been settled and the
shafts will soon be in operation.
The company agree to pay the State scale
of forty cents per ton, but did not want
to tear down the stockade. Finally the
company accepted the offer of the miners
that they would take it down, and charged
the company nothing for the labor.
utant-General Reese of Springfield
notified Sheriff Davenport that the remain
ing troops guarding the Chicago-V -Virden Coal
Company's shaft at Virden would be re-
moved today and asked him to send mum
Der of deputies there to guard the plant
when the soldiers left. Sheriff Davenport
requested the Adjutant-General to keep the
troops there until Sunday, as he would be
better able to cope with the situation
Since the differences have been settled be
tween the company and the miners, troops
are no longer needed.
The Grand jury adjourned today until
Monday. Great pressure is being brought
to bear by influential persons that nothing
shall result from its investigation. 4 prom
inent member of the jury admitted todaN
hat such was the case He Indignantly de
clared that it was the intention of tn,
Grand jury not to be affected by any out

DEMAND FOR RELEASE
FOLLOWS ARREST BY MEXICAN
AUTHORITIES
International Complications Likely to
Follow the Unlawful Detention
of an American Citizen

NOGALES, Ariz., Nov. l2.-Late last
Nogales, Mexico received the following tel
egram from Secretary of State Hay:
Have wired legation at Mexico to demand
immediate release of Temple
On the night OF November 9TH Jim Tenn
pie, a conductor on the Sonora railroad, be-
came involved in "a difficulty with three
MeXicsns. The trouble occurred on the
American side OF the international line at
Nogales, Ariz. Temple started to 90 to his
oaboose and was followed down the track
by the Mexioans and again assaulted by
them With the aid of friends, he got away
and went to the caboose. Later he came out
OF the caboose and was again assaulted. This
time he pulled revolver and fired four
shots, one taking effect in the abdomen of
Juan Arvallo, one of his assailants. Arvallo
died few hours later. Temple went across
the line to Mexico, where he was arrested
and thrown into Jail on a charge OF carrying
deadly weapons. Later the father OF the
murdered man, who is a Mexican citizen,
went to a local Judge on the Mexican side
and preferred a charge OF murder against
Temple The Mexican authorities claim the
right to try Temple for murder under the
Mexican law, which provides that crimes
committed in foreign territory by foreign
er against Mexican can be punished in
Mexico when certain conditions exist.
Indignation is at fever height among
the citizens of Nogales, Ariz., at this action
against an American citizen, and Consul
Darnall was appealed to and Immediately
notified the state department at Washing
tom and at the same time demanded the re-
lease of Temple by the Mexican authorities
which was refused. Friday morning, before
daylight, Temple was surrcptitiously taken
from Jail, driven to Aqua Zarca, the first
station south of Nogales, put aboard a
southbound train and taken to MaGdalena
Nothing was known of this high-handed
procedure on the part of the Mexican author.
tiles until the train reached Magdalena
when word was wired back. Upon receipt
of the news, Consul Darnall wired the state
department to take immediate action, as it
was feared Temple would be summarily
dealt with. An answer as above came last
night.
People here arc anxiously waiting to know
what reply the Mexican authorities will
make to the demand Of the state department.
IF Temple is not released serious trouble
viii follow, which will undoubtedly lead to
international complications.

CERVERA'S REPORT
On the Naval Battle Off Santiago de
Cuba

CHICAGO, Nov. PA special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
In his official report to the Spanish Min
lister of Marine, describing the battle of San
tiago, Admiral Cervera gives high praise to
the humane and courteous treatment accord
ed him and his subordinates by the Ameri-
can authorities. He speaks of the efforts
made by the Iowa and Gloucester to save
life, of the solicitude shown by the Ameri-
cans for the comfort of those whom they had
taken prisoners, and finally OF the gener-
osity OF the victors in providing so hospit-
ably for them in the United States
Cerveras report was forwarded to Spain
through the Navy Department, having been
translated in order that no information of
character valuable to the enemy might be
learned at Madrid. In the report the Ad-
miral also says:
"The result of the battle was never in
doubt, but l never thought that my vessels
would be so quickly destroyed. The enemy S
fire produced terrible injuries on board the
Maria Teresa, destroying her auxiliary
steam pipes and fire mains. After the com
mander of the Teresa fell wounded /, my
self, took command of the ship. In view Of
the utter impossibility of defending the ship
any longer, she was directed with the great
est rapidity to the shore to the westward of
the Cabara, where she was stranded at the
same moment that her machinery stopped.
The second and the third commanders agreed
with me that it was impossible longer to pro
long the fight We proposed to haul down
the flag, but it was impossible on account
of the great headway Of the flames AT this
time the fire had made such headway that it
became necessary to abandon the ship. and
those who were able to do so threw them
selves into the water, where they were saved
by American boats"
Admiral Cervera then gives an account of
the destruction of the other vessels, and. in
conclusion, tells of the humane and courte-
Gus treatment accorded to the Spaniards.

A Freight Blockade

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12.-The recent
fire in the tunnel on the Central Pacific Rail-
road west of Truckee has caused a serious
freight blockade. Some, 800 carsi of freight
are waiting on the west side of the tunnel,
scattered on sidetracks all the way from
Auburn to Sacramento. At Truckee, Reno.
Wadsworth and other points east of the
tunnel over 500 cars of freight are being
held. A good deal of the latter freight is en-
route to Australia, Hong Kong and Yoko-
hama and the steamers at this port may be
delayed until the freight arrives here. With
much inconvenience, passengers, baggage, ex.
press and mail are being transferred at the
tunnel which, however, will be repaired in
short time

of the Maria Teresa was contained in the
following message received from Command
er Craver of the wrecking tug Potomac
which had been ordered to Cat island from
Santiago:
"NASSAU, Nov. 70.
Secretary of the Navy, Washington:
Potomac arrived. Maria Teresa near Bird
point, Cat island, one mile off shore, in two
fathoms of water. Tide rising and falling
inside. Temporary deck broken up; NOV.

The Potomac was at once ordered back
to Cat island, with instructions to Com,
mander Craver to take possession of the
Maria Teresa and drive off the natives who
are looting the ship. He replied by cable
that he would leave Immediately and would
arrive at the wreck in the morning.
The fact that the Teresa, Il vessel draw,
ing % feet of water, and, waterlogged as she
was when abandoned is probably drawing
nearly 30 feet, has been driven into 12 feet
of water, is regarded by naval officers as
evidence of the great strength of the storm
which caused her crew to leave her.

A RAILROAD DEAL
North Pacific Line Now Controlled
by A. w. Foster

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 12.-An impor-
tant sale of railroad stocks isNthe purchase
of thirty two thousand shares Of San Fran
cisco and North Pacific railroad ktock 10y
Al w. Foster, George A. Newhall and their
associates. The price paid was 100000
The stock, which was purchased from J. d.
Stetson, Sidney B. Smith and others, gives
the Foster coterie control of all the com
pany's stock. The sale is the elimination
of the fight between the Stetson and Foster
syndicates. The former, representing the
North Pacific railroad, desired to consol-
date his line with the Foster road The
Foster syndicate opposed the combination
scheme and recently leased the San Fran
cisco and North Pacific TO the California
and Northwestern railroad company for a
period of twenty years. The terminus at
Ukiah is to be extended northwest through
Mendocino county, and it is expected that
the extension will increase the revenue of
the San Francisco and North Pacific rail
way by 100000 a year.

WHEN PEACE IS MADE
SPAIN WILL SELL THE REST OF
HER COLONIES
AN OFFER MADE TO GERMANY
Which Might Be Accepted But for the
Fear Of Offending the United
States of America
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated PreSS opeCidi NAo
BERLIN, Nov. l2.-It is understood IN
dinlomatic circles here that Spain, atteI
the conclusion of treaty OF peace with the
United States, will try to dispose OF her few
remaining colonies notably the Mariana
islands. the Caroline islands and the Pala
islands. and it is reported that the Spanish
government has already cautiously ap
nroached Germany for the purpose OF as
certaining how much those groups would b'
worth to Germany. The officials OF the for
eign office here admit that the acquisition oi
those Spanish colonies would be OF consid
erable value to Germany, in view OF then
proximity to Germany's Alstralasian pos
sessions, but they give no inkling as to their
intentions in the matter.
The announcement that Emperor Will
liam will call at Spanish ports on his way
from the Holy Land has given rise
to all sorts of political speculations. The
foreign office here is doing everything tc
throw cold water on the idea that his ma
iesty has any political end in view in touch
ing at the Spanish ports. The foreign Office
appears to be anxious to avoid any steps
calculated to wound public feeling in the
United States, which, it is fully recognized
here, would resent visit OF the emperor to
the Spanish ports while the peace negotia-
tions are still unconcluded.
THE KAISER'S TOUR
1t has now become known that Emperor
William, among other objects in view, de-
sired to utilize his trip to Jerusalem to re-
unite German Professionalism, now split into
a score of factions, and establish his office
of Summus Episcopus, now held merely
over the Evangelical church of Prussia,
over the whole of Protestant Ger
many. Before starting for Palestine the
emperor thoroughly discussed the idea with
the highest dignitaries of the Prussian
church.
The emperor firmly believed he could
realize his plan, but nevertheless the project
utterly miscarried The grand duke of
Baden represented to the emperor that cir
cumstances made it impossible for the other
Protestant princes of Germany to yield to
the emperor's wishes.
The net results of the emperor's step in
this direction thus far has been to arouse re-
sentiment on the part of the princes, be-
cause the carrying out of his plan would be
tantamount to further serious curtailment
of the sovereign rights of the smaller Ger
man rulers. Several formal written replies
which his majesty has received from Ger
man Protestant rulers point out this fact.
and the grand duke of Sake -Weimar did
SO in especially severe terms.
LESE MAJESTE CASES
The recent enormous increase in the lese
majestic prosecutions is widely commented
upon by the German press. In some cases
not only the publisher, editor and printer,
but even the compositors have been sent to
Jail.
