Nonunion Miners and strikers at War
Again Near Pana.

PANA, ILL.,, June l0-This morning, at
Hillsboro, county seat of Montgomery coun-
ty, twenty-five miles west of Pana, a bloody
riot was narrowly averted. Nonunion coal
miners have been working I'm the mines
there, which are owned principally by Geo.
V. Penwell, president of the Penweli Coal
Company's mine Of Pana, who has never
left his quarters in this city unless accom-
panied by bodyguards, since the riot Of
April 10 last, when seven persons met their
death. Between the hours Of IL O'Clock last
night and 1 this morning union miners from
mining centers within a radius OF 100 miles
massed In Hillsboro, and at 5 o'clock sur
rounded the mines. preventing the nonunion
men from passing their lines. Those who
persisted in attempting TO pass the trocha
were assaulted and severely injured. John
Enlow, a nonunionist. formerly Of Pana,
is reported fatally injured. The unionists
have rented the driving park adjoining the
mines. and say they will remain until all
the men join the union. They will employ
the same tactics which were used success
fully at Coffeen last year. The men are
gradually yielding and to-day twenty-five
joined the union.
Serious trouble is looked for If the nom
union miners persist in the attempt to re-
sumo work. The union men declare they
will remain encamped at Hillsboro until
all nonunion miners leave the pits or the
government sends militia TO disperce them.
Edward Sears was fatally stabbed to-day
by Joseph Ford, both nonunion miners in
Springside mining district. This was fol-
lowed by an attack upon Editor William s..
Childress by Attorney Arthur T. Hum
phreys, son Of States Attorney Humphreys.
who took exception to an article published
in the Beacon Light severely crieicising his
father, the result being that Humphreys
was disarmed of his shot gun by militiamen.
Childress was badly used up. Childress. in
his attempt to strike Humphreys with a
loaded cane struck Charles Reher son Of
City Treasurer Reher, whom he seriously
injured. Humphreys Is strong sympa-
thizer with nonunion miners. while Childress
is antagonistic to their cause. AL parties
were promptly arrested. At 10 o'clock to-
night an entire company of militia were
called out by fusillade of shots in the busi-
ness section OF the city and are now patrol
ing every street. The result Of the shoot
ing is unkuoyu

MANILA. June 1o.-At daybreak to-day
force OF 4.5o0 men under Generals Lawton.
Wheaton and Ovenshine advanced from San
Pedro Macati. sweeping the country between
the Bay OF Manila and Bay lake south of
Manila. BY noon the country had been
cleared almost TO Paranaque. The Amer
leans lost two officers killed and twenty
one soldiers wounded. The rebels resisted
desperately at the stronger Of their positions
and left fifty dead in the trenches. Many
more wounded were left behind by the rebels
In their retreat The heat during the day
was overpowering and there were many
prostrations Of American soldiers from that
cause
General Lawtons force consisted OF two
battalions each of the Twenty-first and
Ninth Infantry, six companies of the Colo
rado volunteers and detachment of artil-
lsry. The Nevada cavalry waa under Gen.
eral Wheaton and the Thirteenth and Four
teenth Infantry, the Fourth Cavalry and
detachment of light artillery were under
General Ovenshine. 1t was scarcely dawn
when the troops In long. silent procession
wound MP the hillside behind the American
trenches and formed a skirmish line. Con-
cealed In the jungle the advance rebel out
posts fred q few shots before being seen.
The opposing forces occupied two ranges of
crescent-shaped hills.
The artillery, the Colorado infantry and
the Nevada cavalry swung around the hill to
the left and opened the battle at 6:3o. The
rebels made no response from the hills and
the Colorado men cautiously advanced
through the thick grass until they were con-
fronted by trench. from which few weak
volleys were fred A spirited response fol-
lowed and a charge into the trench found
IL to be deserted
In the meantime part OF the Thirteenth
and Fourteenth Regiments, formed In skir-
nish line. extending a mile to the right and
supported by the rest OF the regiments,
swept down the valley and up the hillside
toward another trench. A morass seriously
hampered the Fourteenth. and the rebels,
taking advantage OF this. poured a CALLING
ffre upon them for thirty minutes. The
fourteenth was twice compelled to with
draw for the purpose of finding a safe cross
ing In the swamp. finally the trench was
enfiaded on both TANKS The rebels fed to
the woods, suffering severe loss. General
Lawton then pushed his entire command
south. through the center of the isthmus,
until few miles south OF Paranaque, when
he swung around and halted on account OF
the heat.
During the march Americans were pros
trated on all sides owing to lack OF water
and exposure to the sun. 1t Is estimated
20 per cent Of the troops were exhausted.
The monitor Monadnock and three other
vessels sheled Paranaque this morning and
the rebels promptly evacuated the place.
