COAL BED NEAR oREENvILLE.
Specimen Sent to the State MineraIo-
gist For Examination.

GREENvILLE, S. c., July ga bed
of soft coal has been discovered about 10
miles from this city. Several good speci-
mems are in the hands of men in the
county who have visited the field. They
were found on an old field covering sew
eral acres, and it is supposed that the
bed is an extensive one.
While many fear that the field has
been "salted, the specimens are of such
a character as to warrant an investiga-
ton. Samples have been sent to the
state mineralogist, at Clemson college,
for analysis.
Steps are being taken looking to a
thorough investigation and should the
find prove genuine, a company will be
organized and mining operations begun
at once

PANAMA, July 26.-Fighting between
the government troops and the revolu-
tionists which began when the rebels at
tackled the outskirts of Panama con-
tinued all night with heavy casualties
on both sides.
The government asked for an arm
istice to gather up the dead and wound
ed, which was granted.
It is said by the leaders that hostih-
ties should be suspended for 10 hours SO
that each side might care for its dead
and wounded. After firing had ceased
under this agreement, Hezekiah A,
Gudger, the American consul general,
and the British consul, acting in behalf
of the entire consular corps, had long
and important conference with the revo-
lutionary leaders. Through their inter
vention both sides consented to extend
the armistice "a hours longer.
The consuls are using every effort to
prevent commandment of the city by
the insurgents. Colonel Gudger is es-
pecially active in this work because of
the treaty obligations which require the
United States to insure the neutrality of
the Isthmus of Panama and preserve
freedom of transit on the railroads.
General Oampos Zerrano, titular gov
ernor Of Panama, has arrived in Colon
with 1000 troops from Barranquilla.

labyrinth of glittering Spanish flags in

Spain. Banners and bunting, suspended
from house to house, covered the thor

were richly decorated. There was no
attempt whatever to display the Ameri-

Fourth of July was totally eclipsed.
Six native houses displayed the stars

estimated that no fewer than $500 Span

LONDON, July 26.-While the latest

the best informed opinion of Europe
seems to continue to favor the accept
ance of the worst news and the prompt
action thereon, the contention being
that the only possibility of definitely as
certaining the truth is by the allied COM
manders inquiring at Peking. Judging
from news from Tien Tsin, however,
recording divisions among the admirals
there, the prospects for an early advance
seem to be endangered unless the gov

Apparently the foreign consuls at
Shanghai have informed the viceroy
that unless he obtained definite dis
patches from Picking within five days
they would conclude that the ministers
had been murdered and act accordingly.
Reports are current that number of
missionaries, either American or Eng
fish, have been murdered III Shan ST.
One of the dispatches from Shanghai

1.-THE Canadian missionaries who es-
capped from Ho Nan had q terrible ex-
perience enroute here. The natives
everywhere were hostile. The rabble
attacked the refugees, beat them and
tore the clothes from their backs. The
women suffered cruel indignities."
The dispatch continues: Canton re-
mains comparatively quiet The ma
tives, however, are beginning to fear
that the reinforcements arriving at
Hong Kong intend to attack the Bogue
forts and occupy the city. The military
mandarian has asked the colonial secre-
tary at Hong Kong for assurances that
Great Britain does not intend to take
