WAGES ADVANCED.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 1.-THE
wages of coal miners at the Glen Mary
coal mines were to-day advanced ten
per cent. Three thousand men are af-
fected. The same advance will be
given in the Coal Creek district Au-
gust /. This will probably avert a
strike there. The situation in the Jel-
lico district is still unsatisfactory and
5000 men may go out if the advance
asked is not granted.

THE STATE DEPARTMENT



Takes Cognizance of the Claims of Amerf-
can Concessioaaires in China.
WASHINGTON, July Secretary
Hay received cali this morning from
W. Barclay Parsons, the engineer rep
resenting the American railway con-
cessioas controlling the projected rail-
road from Canton to Hankow, China.
Mr.. Parsons explained at some length
to the Secretary the obstacles that have
been encountered by his company in
carrying out its concession. The Chi
nese government is ostensiDiy held to
be obstructing the coneessionaries, but
behind that government and urging it
unwillingly on its course are foreign in
fiuences, according to Mr.. Parsons,
which are striving to secure for them
selves this concession.
Mr.. Parsons represented that an Eng
lish company holding the concession
for line from Canton to Kowloon was
prepared to unite interests with the
American corporation and effect COM
bination to maintain themselves
against these foreign influence. The
British government would naturally
look after the interests of its subjects
and the American corporation asks
Secretary Hay to take similar action
to require the Chinese government to

The hearing of Mrs. Parker and Jo-
seph Driller, charged with numbering
Louis Dittmore, took place in the coun-
ty Jail office yesterday morning at 8
O'Clock before Justice w. w. Rogers.
The hearing lasted two hours. and at
the end of that time the hearing was
continued until next Friday.
The time of yesterdays hearing was
taken UP by struggle between the OPP
posing attorneys over point of the
law.
When the time for the hearing ar
rived the Office was crowded with a
large number eff persons more or less
interested in the result. Prosecuting
Attorney Meyer, assisted by Attorney
Bernie Handlan, appeared for the State,
and Attorney S. o. Boyce appeared as
counsel for the defense.
The case against Mrs. Parker was
taken up and the prisoner, herself, was
first called TO the stand. Prosecuting
Attorney Meyers started to question
aer.
Where were you on the first day Of
July?" asked MIR. Meyers.
Mr. Boyce, counsel for the defense,
at this point objected to the question,
claiming that should the accused an
swer the question she would incrimin-
ate herself
Then followed arguments from both
sides on the question. At the conclu-
sion the court decided that the witness
could not be compelled to answer the
question.
sYou cannot put this woman on the
stand" said Justice Rogers, for any
thing she will say viii implicate her
There is no law compelling anyone to
testify against themselves.
At this point both the Prosecuting
Attorney and Mr.. Handlan moved TO
dismiss the charge prferred against
Mrs. Parker in order to use her as
witness. The court seemed very much
disguised with the proceeding, but the
case was dismissed.
Mrs Parker was again placed on the
stendAIo testify against Driller, who
was VIII Ter on the boat. sdrs. Park
er has a black eye which is result of
the general fight which occurred, there
fare her testimony would implicate her
as much as in the former case, and it
would be the duty of the court 70 hold
her, as probable cause alone is required,
and coming from her lips there would
be no escape.
When she was put on the stand a
sccold time Mr.. Meyers asked:
Where were you on the FIRST day of
Jaly?"
"Mr. Boyce told me not to answer"
was the reply.
Justice Rogers to Either
answer or be locked up"
.Mr. Eoycc tells me not to answer"
was the reply.
n Justice Rogers then ordered Jaller
Mccormick to lock her up as the law
directs in such cases.
Yes ;erday Squire Rogers said:
ITO allow a woman like that to be
at large without a hearing was more
than ! was disposed to do. as there
were quite a number of witnesses to
testify in the case, and lot of circun-
stantial evidence against her, The

A MANIFESTO
Issued by Cubans Against the Ameri,
cans May Point to Future Trou-


HAVANA, July 14.-Many Cuban pa
pers fatty deny the existence of plots
against American visitors who remain
here few days and then return to the
United States, but there is undoubtedly
a considerable element endeavoriGg to
SOW dissensions among the Cu5ans,
and using every means to array them
against the Americans. Even the pro-
vince of Matanzas, which is supposed
to be the most peaceable district, has
such malcontents within it's borders.
Recently 1000 leaflets were issued in
the city of Matanzas in the form of an
address to the people in the following
vein:
"Cubans, you men of honor whom
Spanish bullets respected, and fever and
hunger only served to make doubly
strong. Your mother country calls you
to make her stronger and grander be-
cause there are those who wish to
humiliate her. You who have been
proved in fray and hardship, you who
have helped to convert your family
hearthstones into bread, clothing, medi
cine or arms; you who have been ready
to give your very lives, even when you
would have left your adored Cnes 10 a
miserable orphanage, to know only the
pain Of living by a mental toll; their
beautiful eyes full of tears; you whose
women were born to be happy only as
their country is free-you, that mother
asks to be ready to hurl from the ccun-
try the crafty eagle, as you have re-
moved the naughty and hungry Spanish
lion.
Let one thought only be ours. So
long as our flag does not hutter from
Cape Maysi to Cape San Antonio there
will be only ruin, deSolation and van
dalism for our fertile fields, our rich
treasures, our wealth and beauty. The
Americans deceive us. They tyrannize
over us. They are masters of our pal
aces and forts. They make a display
of wealth and power and reduce US to
the level of men without country and
without faith.

Betancourt is common among the Cubans,
