THE COAL MINERS.
A Sensation Created by the Discovery
That Books Have Been Mutilated
A Rupture Expected.

Pittsburg, Pa, January 12.-When
the fourth days session of the United
Mine Workers Association was called
to order. the chairman of the investi-
eating committee reported that the
committee had worked on the books all
night, and would not be ready to report
to the convention for several hours.
A recess was then taken until one
O'Clock
Prior to the resumption of the ses-
sion sensation was sprung by the dis
covery that during the absence of the
investigating committee at breakfast
unknown persons had entered the COM
mittee room in the ST. Charles Hotel,
and mutilated the records. Eighteen
pages were torn from the ledger and
carried away, while many other pages
were blotted and blurred The thief
or thieves left no clue and the an
nouncement of the outrage caused in
tense indignation. The miners offic-
ials believe that the object of the per-
son who mutilated the books was to
destroy the records from Illinois.

A Serious State Of Affairs Exist in
the Islands. BIoodshed Not Unex-
pacted.

San Francisco. January 1.-THE fol-
lowing letter has been received by the
Associated Press from its Samoan cor
respondent and shows how alarming
was the situation when the steamer
Mariposa left Apia for this city:
Apia, December 81.
Events have moved very rapidly
since the last mail left here. Civil war
has been narrowly averted and for the
first time in Samoan history, the lives
of white residents have been threaten
ed bv the natives. Even now blood
shed is not far from probable, armed
guards protect the residences of Chief
Justice Chambers, an American citizen,
and that Of Mr.. Gurr, the leading En-
glish lawyer of the town, who has TAX
en- an important part in supporting
Malietoa Tanus's claim to the throne
Ii fighting once begins the results will
be serious. for each side has thousands
of men in the field. and it will require
energetic action on the part of the En-
glish and German warships to keep the
conflict within bounds.
The whole trouble has arisen through
the injudicious action Of the three
treaty powers in bringing the deported
Mataafa back to Samoa. By doing so
they have thrown down bone of con-
tention and converted what might 9TH
erwise have been peaceful election
into an angry combat. OF course, at
the time America, England and Ger
many agreed to Mataafa's return,
Malietoas death was not anticipated,
otherwise the homecoming OF the eX-
lied king would certainly have been
delayed. For many years ever since
the unfortunate affair at Vaileie, when
so many brave German soldiers lost
their lives, the Germans have shown
a feeling of uncompromising hostility
towards Mataafa, under whose leader
ship the Teutonic defeat was accom-
plished Latterly for some unexplain-
ed reason the German officials have
changed their views and have tried
to secure Mataafa's return. This course
has brought the German consul into
open disagreement with the British and
American consuls and the chief justice
and the natives have been encouraged
to turbulence and the lives of white
residents have been endangered.
To show the extent of the feeling
aroused, Suatele, a religious fanatic,
who is one of Mataafa's most promi-
nent adherents, is quoted as saying:
'Samoans: You must fight strong;

jections were found to seating any of
the delegates reported by the commit
tee on credentials. Another object the
thief may have had, it is claimed, was
to make it necessary to send for the
cash books, it having been decided by
the convention yesterday afternoon not
to send for them.
At the afternoon session Secretary
John Fahey read the report of the in
vestigating commission. He said he
believed the credentials committee
made fair report, according to the
entries on the ledger The lists of
locals of the thirteen States repre-
scented, together with the number of
members and the votes TO which they
were entitled, were read, requiring one
hours time.
The credentials of the delegates from
the following local unions were refer
red back to the convention for further
consideration:

A rupture il next weeks interstate

that they intend to oppose a run of mine
clause, win insist upon ten-hour day in
stead of eight hours, as at present, and
will demand a reduction in wages The
miners have not yet considered the new
agreement, but it is the general sentiment
among them that any attempt to increase
the hours of labor. cut wages or to strike
out important clauses. will be vigorously
fought in the convention.

OTIS.

Manila, January 1.-THE situation
at Iloilo is unchanged. The Filipinos
are increasingly active day and night.
On Saturday they loaded some lighters
with rock and sank them at the en-
trance Of the river blocking the chan
mel for all vessels except launches. All
the lights have been extinguished.
Order, however, is maintained with
severity and offenders are promptly
shot.
On Sunday ore Of the Arizona's
boats, manned by soldiers, was carried
by the ebb tide to Quimaraes island,
and while attempting to land there
armed natives assembled on the beach
and compelled the Americans to re-
tire.
The Filipinos refuse to have any
dealings with the Americans, vegeta-
bles and fruit are not obtainable, bust
ness is suspended and the warehouses
are full of rotting sugar.
At Manila the situation is critical,
but pacification is possible in spite of
the unyielding attitude Of the Filipinos.
1t is reported that the rebel govern
ment at Malalos is willing that the
Americans should establish a protec-
torate, on the condition that they prom
Use to give the Filipinos absolute indie
pendence within stated time. 1t is
also said that the Filipinos will de-
mand official recognition.
Efforts are being made to bring
about another conference with the
rebels. The educated Filipinos are
anxious to avoid trouble, and it is
hoped that the militant Filipinos will
recede before wiser counsel.
In the meantime the tension is ex-
IRENE on both sides.
