GENERAL COAL STRIKE,
Refusal Of Operators in West Virginia
Threatens Suspension Of Operations.

Wheeling, w. Va, April s.-The in
dications are for general strike by the
coal miners in West Virginia on account
Of the refusal Of the operators to agree
to the Chicago scale Of wages and hours.
In the Wheeling district no mines were
at work today, and none were yester-
day, although the strike has not yet
been declared. Out OF 5000 men em-
ployed In the Kanawha and New River
valleys, fewer than 600 are at work.

Satisfaction at the Navy Department.
The Associated Press bulletin an
nouncing that the Spanish torpedo fo-
tilla was at Cape Verde islands, off the
west coast of Africa, instead of at Porto
Rico, was received with good deal Of
satisfaction at the navy department.
The islands are more than 1000 miles
from Porto Rico and it is hoped the
opinion of naval experts that 10 or ~
days will be the least time within which
they could make the run across the At

Mr.. Foraker, of the senate committee
on foreign relations, was at the navy
department during the morning for the
purpose, 1t was understood, of further
Ing the investigation that the committee
Is making into the cause of the disaster
of tho Maine. 1t is now understood
that the senate inquiry is to be very
sweeping in character and will go con-
siderably beyond the inquiry Of the
naval court. To show the minuteness of
the senate inquiry, the fact may be cited
that the senate committee today took
steps to ascertain whether the electric
lights throughout Havana were extin-
guished simultaneously with the explo-
sion. The committee has learned that
the eXtinguishment of the lights actually
occurred. Exactly what bearing this
had upon the explosion is not apparent.
1t may be that the terrific shock caused
atmospheric disturbance disarranging
the electric plant in Havana, or some in
ferential deductions may be made as to
electric connections with the sub
marine mine.
False Report.
Washington, April "A report was
circulated this morning, that Minister
Woodford had been recalled. No cab
met officer knew anything OF such re-
call and the report is discredited.
Spanish Flotilla Probably at Porto Rico.
The navy department up to 10 o'clock
had no confirmation of the Madrid dis
patch saying that the Spanish torpedo
fotilla had arrived at Porto Rico.
Some doubt is expressed that 1t could
make such fast time. 1t Is said, how
ever, that 1t will arrive soon without in
reference, If 1t has not already done SO,
as no move has been made to intercept
1t, as advocated by many of the naval
officers.
As 1t has taken the Spanish torpedo
fOtilla nine days to make the Cape
Verde islands from the Canary islands,
which they left on March "a, 1t should
ct the same rate OF speed, take the
fl0tilla about six dav from now to reach
Porto Rico, supposing the fiotilla is able
to coal and start Immediately to day,
which is unlikely.

A story is told of an old Commodore
at the Boston yard whose method OF
measuring religious affairs was with
the same memorable rule used for tenn
poral things. One Sunday morning he
was aroused from his nap by some
thing out of the usual routine being
announced from the pulpit, and he
sternly addressed the Chaplain with:
Whats that? What's that?" The
Chaplain demurely repeated the notice
that by order of the Bishop of the do
cese divine service will be performed
in this chapel on Thursday evening
next" etc.
by whose order?"
by order of the Bishop Of the do
cese, SIR
Well" Numbered the Commodore,
"I'll let you know that I am Bishop
of this diocese. and when l want SER
vice in this chapel I'll let you know.
Pipe down." and he cleared the chapel.
On one occasion he heard a different
voice in the pulpit from usual, and.
looking up, he asked, Who is that up
there? Is that you, Billy McMasters ?"
Yes, sir"
Billy was a religious foreman in the
yard. who sometimes helped the Chap
lain along.
Come down out of that" Numbered
the Commodore. when I want a re-
lief for the Chaplain I'll appoint ono.
Don't you ever let me catch you up
there again" and he cleared the chapel
again.-From ION a Man-of-War."

FIRE AT NASHVILLE.
Half a Million Dollars Worth Of
Property DESTROYED.

NASHVILLE (Tenn) August 29.-At
2:O5 this (Tuesday) morning fire broke
out in the top floor of the five-story
building Of the Phillips & Buttorft
wholesale and retail hardware and
stove store, on the corner of Bank Al
ley and College street, and in an m
credibly short time had completely de-
stroyed the entire building and con-
tents.
At $50 the fire spread south across
the alley to A. j. Warren & Company's
furniture store and totally destroyed
that fine four-story building and con-
tents.
At 3:15 Webb & Stevenson's retail
hardware store, Immediately adjoining
Warren & Company's building, was a
mass of flames, and is burning fiercely
at 3:45, with the chances of the fire
spreading and destroying the entire re-
mainder of the block south, including
the Western Union Telegraph building.
The fire department seems unable to
check the progress Of the flames, al
though there is no wind.
The loss at this hour will probably
reach 500, 600. The origin of the fire
is not yet known.

San Jose Has Her New Building,
But Few Scholars.
One Hundred and Sevsnty-Flvs 60 to Santa
Clara for Learning.
Claim That Their Home School was
Run in the Interest Of Po1ttt-
clans and That the Boycott Was
Inaugurated as a Last Measure
to Break the Practice.

SAN JOSE, Aug. 29.-Ths boycott OF
the San Jose High School was put into
effect this morning, when some 10
pupils Of the school boldly left 1t ana
entered the High School at Santa
Clara.
While the dismissal of Professor
Smith from San Jose is given as the
immediate cause of the secession OF the
many students from San Jose's school,
it is claimed that this was but the last
straw. Those who joined the movement
say that the local schools have been
used by politicians as a place to billet
political friends, regardless of merit
and that the boycott is made as the
last measure to break it.
The new High School building here,
erected at a cost of $4,000, without
furniture, will be largely without ten
ants, unless conditions change. From
the start made it would appear that
the move will increase rather than dl-
minish in force. The conditions were
accentuated to-day and much illfeel-
ing aroused by the statement that To-
cal political managers are going to
leading business men and calling on
who are in any way connected with
the boycott.
The students, who intended to go to
Santa Clara were asked to assemble
at Turn Verein Halle this morning ut
8 o'clock. By that hour they were
there in force, with friends and rela-
tives With much enthusiasm three
big carryalls, one of them drawn by
four horses and containing thirty Odd
youngsters, were quickly loaded. The
second vehicle contained about thirty
students, and a third twenty. Aside
from these were a lot Of young people
in private vehicles and a number on
wheels.
Shortly after 9 o'clock the cavalcade
moved. AS it passed along Santa Clara
street through the business center a
great crowd of people watched the en-
thusiastic young people, and lent ap-
plause as the school yell "Rah-rah-rah,
rah-rah-rah, Santa Clarah," rent the
air. The yell was kept up all the three
miles along the alameda as the We
hicles proceeded to Santa Clara. There
they were greeted by a great outburst
Of applause from the citizens.
Santa Clara had made every prepara-
ton to receive them, and soon the stu

dents were in the nice school rooms
preparing for work, Citizens have con-
tributed money to pay the expenses OF
the pupils who go even providing them.
Owing to the lack of furniture, San
Jose's new building has not been occu-
pied yet, school opening in the Horace
Mann building. As classification was
not completed at noon to-day 1t was i'm
possible to tell how many High School
pupils assembled there. A great de-
preston of teachers and pupils was
plain. and 1t was estimated that only
about one-third the usual number of
students was present. Many residents
openly expressed sympathy with the
seceeders. but said parental pressure
caused them to attend the local school,
The advocates, however, of the local
cause say they will soon break down
the boycotters. On the other hand, the
boycotters say they are working for a
principle and have only started.

A Queer Kissing Business.

'Old-fashioned Hungerford is once
more celebrating Hocktide with all it's
quaint customs and ancient ceremonies.
This interesting ceremony began with
the annual 'macaroni supper and will
be continued to-day, when the two
managers of the rival banks, who have
been elected 'tuttimen for the ensuing
year, go round to the houses of the
tenants in the town and exercise their
prerogative of kissing all the ladies in
each house Hungerford is one of the
last remaining unreformed boroughs of
England, and. still retains it's ancient
official nomenclature, electing to have
in place of Mayor and Corporation. a
Constable, a portreeve, keeper of the
Golfers, a hayward, two ale tasters, and
bellman.
1.-THE tuttimen (who are also coll
lectors of the poll taxi have from time
immemorial called at every. house in

the people here Of all classes towards
the American soldiers and correspond
ents and toward Americans generally
Is one of courtesy and politeness.
La Lucha," In an editorial to-day on
the future of Cuba, says: There are
four solutions of the probkn: INDIE
pendence, annexation, Spanish pro-
tectorate or an American protector
ate. AS for an American protectorate,
it would be the most servihe and hu-
initiating form of Government thet
could be possibly offered to an enlight-
ened race. Hitherto protectorates
have been only imposed upon bartar-
Gus or semi-savage people who have
been declared incapable Of governing
themselves. A protectorate for Cuba,
which for the last thirty years has had
a standard of culture equal to that
reached by any civilized country ~
Europe or America, would practically
declare her far inferior, morally, men,
tally and socially, to her constantly
cherished hopes and ambitions. All
nexation, or continuance of self-rule
under Spanish guardianship, akin to US
in race and sentiment, would be indefi-
nitely preferable"
Havana to-day is without meat, ow-
ing to a wrangle over the free entry OF
cattle. Senior Montero, the Secretary
of Finance, has objected to the renov-
al of the duty on the plea that the pub
lie will not be the beneficiaries, ous
only the spectators and butchers.
Seeing the scarcity of meat, however
and the need of immediate relief, Sen
or de Castro has recommended to Cen
eral B1anco the removal of the present
duty of So per head in order to sis
charge at once the cattle steamers now
in port, and to furnish the city with
supply.
Advices from the province of Pina1
del Rio say that the insurgent forces
there are quite destitute. Yesterday
the insurgent general Lorente and
thousand men presented themselves
before the village Of San Juan Martl-
nez and asked for food, assuring 'Le
Spanish commander that although they
could easily steal his cattle, they re-
Trained from doing so under the terms
of the armistice. General Lorenre's
conduct is greatly applauded, as show
ing a desire to respect law and order
in that province. The villagers go'
together and gave the insurgents q
hundred and fifty measures OF corr
and a quantity of fresh meat.

The Bay Again Presents an I'm
ually Active Aspect-Numerous
Vessels From United States
With Cargoes and Rations Rid
ing at Anchor Near What Is
Left of the Wrecked Battleship

HAVANA, Aug. %, s p. m.-The
bay of Havana again presents an I'M
usually active aspect. Numerous ves-
sells with cargoes and rations from
the United States are riding at anchor
Close to what remains of the wrecked
Maine is moored the Spanish cruiser
Alfonso XIII. She is at the same
buoy as she was on the might of the
explosion. The wreck itself has set
tied two feet or more in the muddy
bottom.
Early this morning Senior Fernand-
inc de Castro Civil Governor of Ha-
vana, accompanied by the Chief In
spector of the Harbor Police, visited
the Red Cross steamer Clinton, to re-
turn Miss Clara Barton's visit, remain
ing nearly an hour. The meeting took
place in the saloon of the steamer.
Senior de Castro, who is a young and
handsome man, sat beside Miss Bar
ton, tanning her. Around them were
grouped the Red Cross nurses, the
whole presenting a picturesque scene.
MSS Barton says the Governor is a
most charming man. She thinks him
endowed with splendid qualities, and
she acknowledges the excellence of the
measures he has adopted to relieve the
want in the city by the Kitchens Wh1ch
distribute rations daily. With such a
man. says Miss Barton, almost any
thing is possible.
Nothing definite has been decided up
on, but probably a part of the Red
Cross Relief will be landed here and
a part at MantanZas. After his visit
to Miss Barton, Governor de Castro
paid a visit to the Comal, where he was
entertained by Captain Niles and MAJOR
Niskerin, to whom he gave letters to
Senior Montero, Secretary of Finance
in the Spanish Colonial Cabinet, rec
ommending that permission be granted
them to distribute a million rationS
free Of duty. The plan is for the Co
nal to remain at Havana as a central
floating warehouse, and to forward re-
lief to the interior by rail- pack mules
and other means of transportation.
Saturday morning the first Of the
