Discomfort GROWING.



Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 23.-Discon-
tent among the striking miners of the
Wyoming valley is growing, and IN.
less the strike is settled soon they
will be hard to control. A majority of
the men are willing and anxious to 60
to work, and il President Mitchell
should call the strike off to-day, even
with the powder question unsettled, he
would receive more credit from his
followers than to allow the contest
to drag on with the chance Of losing
in the end.
The discomfort of the strikers was
shown at the works of the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre Coal Co., in the eastern
part of the city yesterday morning. A
gang of men were going to work to
screen coal on the bank of the Empire
mine, when they were set upon by q
mob of men, women and boys. John
O'Hara, foreman of the gang, was
knocked down with a stone and his
nose fractured. Several other work.
men were slightly injured.
During the melee several shots were
fred. One bullet grazed the ear Of
Coal and Iron Policeman Mccall. The
mob destroyed all the tools Of the
workmen. The disturbance took place
within the city limits, and a detach.
ment of police were sent to the scene.
When they arrived they found a large
crowd of women and boys, but very
few men. The local officers of the
United Mine Workers say none of
their men engaged in the fight.

Evacuate Cuba.

Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 23.-Gen.
Cebereco, popular negro politician,
who was recently elected an alternate
delegate to the Forthcoming constitu-
tional convention, came to Santiago
Sunday for the first time since the
Spanish evacuation. He had repeated
ly said that he would never leave the
rural strongholds until the Americans
departed unless in command Of Gu
ban army for the purpose of cxpel-
ing the intruders. His following in
the black party is considerable.
Sunday evening 1900 of his admir-
ers gave a demonstration in his honor
and paraded the streets with band,
in spite of the heavy rain.
There has been renewal of the
quarrel between the Cubano Libre
and Mayor Grinan over the publica-
ton of charges of official corruption,
the Cubano Libre calling the mayor q
"thief" and traitor" He ordered
the suppression of the paper, but only
one issue failed to appear, the courts

Belief at United Mine Workers
Headquarters That the End
of the Strike Is Near.
SIMPLY WATKINS FOR The OPERATORS.
They Have Not All Posted the Ten
That IL Done the Executive Board
VIII Meet and Take Vote ON
Ending the Strike.

Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 24.-Around the
national headquarters of the United
Mine Workers the belief was unan-
imous that the end of the strike Will
come within very short time. Pres.
ident Mitchell, Notwithstanding con-
trary reports, has set no date for
calling off the strike. As soon as all
the operators signify their willing
ness to pay ten per cent. advance in
wages until April, the national ex-
ecutive board will be called in SEES
sion to vote on ending the contest.
President Mitchell appears to be more
anxious about the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western and the Delaware
d Hudson coal companies than any
of the others. these companies have
taken such prominent part in the
struggle that is is believed that as
soon as they post supplemental no.
tices the other operators will fall in
to line.
