Negroes and Striking White Miners
still Cunning for Each Other.

PANA, ILL.,, Nov. 1S.-The town has been
kept in a state of terror all evening by nu-
merous encounters between negroes and
striking miners. Both are heavily armed
and use their ammunition freely. About
o'clock Deputy Sheriff Sid Watts, who was
returning from the Springside mine where
he had been on duty, was shot from ambush.
The bullet took effect in his right arm,
which had to be amputated. number of
residences have been pierced by bullets and
those who are able TO do so have sent their
families to the country. The principal
streets are patrolled by soldiers. Captain
Butler had long conversation by telephone
with Governor Tanner this evening and it is
said more troops VIII be here tomorrow.

tary Alger to-day that Jesse T. Gates, of
the Second United States Artillery, who lost

slightly changed. The exports for the

HAVANA, Nov II, via Key West, Fla,
Nov 1S.-At midnight last night a car on
the line running from this city to Jesus del
Monte, a suburb, was held up by a gang
of robbers close to the Christina station.
Every passenger in the car was forced to
throw up his hands, and the thieves then
took their valuables. After this work had
been accomplished the car was allowed to
proceed on it's way. The place where the
robbery took place was a dark and deserted
spot and well chosen for the crime, as no
police were on duty there.

The Reina Mercedes.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 1S.-Lieut
Lucien Young, of the Hist, reports that it
is practicable to raise the former Spanish
cruiser Reina Mercedes, sunk on June 6
near the entrance of Santiago harbor during
the engagement between Admiral Samp-
sons war ships and the Spanish marine and
land batteries. He found that she had been
sunk by opening her sea valves; that her
bottom in other respects is in good condi-
ton, and that by simply plugging the valves
she can be easily pumped dry and raised
The hull is now resting on the edge of the
channel bank, with about 40 feet overhang-
ing. A southwest gale would roll her into
the channel, effectually blocking the en-
trance to the harbor.

cuBnns DO Not want Negroes.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-A dispatch from
Havana says: 1.-THE news from Topeka,
Kan, that John T. Veney, Baptist clergy
man, is about to send to Santiago thirty
negro families as a nucleus for a large
negro colony, has caused an exceedingly
bad impression among the Cubans, who are
anxious that only white immigrants shall
come to Cuba. The more rabid predict a
race war should many negroes come from
the United States. A strange feature is that
the Cuban negroes are even more bitter
than the whites in denouncing the move
ment.
1.-The Cuban army will receive one years
pay on Dec. 10. Notes for the balance due
will be issued and the troops will then be
dsbanded. This information comes from an
officer of General Garcia's personal staff,
on whose word implicit confidence may be
placed From what source the money will
come cannot be learned, but that the
United States has guaranteed the loan is
almost certain"

the American commissioners up to this

the fact that the American proposition is in

is straightforward at all points.

eFIxING MULES TEETH.
A Branch of Dentistry Which Has More
 Danger Than Attractions.

A correspondent of the Road, In Mexico
 sends to that periodical an interesting &C., count of dentistry, as practiced on mules. Perhaps but few Che writes) are acquainted with the amount of veterinary surgery which is practiced upon some of the mules abroad, some hundreds of pounds being expended annually in having veterinary dentists examine and treat the teeth of the pit-horse, and especially of the much malinged mine mule. Such is the case, however and it is safe to say that the mo- lars of these beasts of burden receive far more attention than do the teeth of many of the men and boys who are their daily co-workers in the underground caverns A well-known veterinary dentist out here, who makes a speciality of treating mules
 teeth, has more patients awaiting their turn for his services than, perhaps, any dentist in the "old country" At present he is en- gagged in treating the teeth of 200 mules used in working the mines upon which I am en- gagged, which, by the bye, is only one of dozen similar big companies that find use for his services. A vicious, stubborn mule
 that snaps at its driver and kicks at the tantalizng door boys several hundred feet beneath the earth's surface, is neither an attractive nor docile patient, so that the

MAIL ADNCES FROM MANILA
Destruction of Cervera's Fleet DemoraIized the Garrison
 of the City.

San Francisco, Aug. 17.--Advices from the Associated Press correspondent at Ma nila, dated July 22, and received today by the returned transport Australia, say the news of the disaster to Ceryera's squad ron and the turning back of Cameras fleet completely demoralized the garrison of Manila and the Spanish colony, and they were anxious to accept the inevitable and surrender the city whenever Dewey should see fit to demand it.
 This statement was backed up by the fact that not a single shot had been fired upon the United States troops, although they were landed within two miles of Fort Malate in broad day light on an open beach, and despite the fact that they had camped in the open fields about mile from the trenches occupied by the insur- gents. Furthermore, the cruiser Boston and gunboat Ca1lao, which had been cov- ering the troops landing had been anchored within range of the shore guns for five days unmolested. Had the Spaniards been merely waiting for a favorable opportunity to fire at close range both the McCulloch and Concord had been cruising at the mouth of the Pasig river, almost under the guns of Fort St. Mesa for several days; yet not single shot had been fired in their direction.
 The insurgents also discontinued the az gressive attitude they had been maintain ing before the United States troops land ed. Their sudden inactivity may have been due to the fact that Aguinaldo was not consulted to the extent that he considered compatible with his position as general of the insurgent forces.
 All the stores. and extra ammunition from the Pekin have been transferred to hulk which was used by the Spanish as a powder hulk at Cavite arsenal, and her extracoal has been taken aboard the steam ship Honolulu for the use of the fleet.
 Both army and navy stores now at Ma nila are sufficient to last us for use in the Philippines for a long period.

As has been announced, Assistant Su- perintendent H. B. Spencer, of the Alabama Great Southern, will be removed from Bir- mingham, and it Is now said that he will go to Louisville as superintendent of the Louisville division of the Southern. MT. Spencer has been in Birmingham only about a year and during that time has won a rep utation as a fine railroad man.
 There is a great deal of guessing as to who will be his successor as assistant su- perintendent of the Alabama Great South ern- Some say that that position will fall to the lot of c. E. Hickey, who is at present Superintendent Wickersham's chief clerk. If his friends had anything to do with the matter, MT. Rickey's appointment would not remain long In doubt.
 Others say that they don't believe MT. Spencer will have any successor and that the office of assistant superintendent will be abolished
 There was no such office before MT. Spen- cer came here.
