WHAT SH4FTER SAYS OF WEYLER.
THINKS SPANISH GENERAL IS TALKING

THINKS SPANISH GENERAL IS TALKING
FOR EFFECT-FLEET WAS NEEDED.
San Francisco. Nov. 17.-GeneraI Shafter when
asked TO comment on General WeyIer's criticism
IF the Spanish conduct OF the war in Cuba,
aot inclined to take Weyler's assertions seriously
He said evidently Weyler was talking for effect.
every military knew the Spaniards in Cuba
Without the aid Of q fleet to prevent the landing
IF invaders III any required number, could not
held the island against the Americans. Cen
.ral ShafteT added
! DO not care to speak Of General Weyler's rec
srd in Cuba, or whether or not he has received
unjust censure.
II is very well known that the force of Spain in
Tuba outnumbered by several times the force
snded for the reduction OF Santiago, but there
few available men operate against the
American troops.
Had the y go troops stationed at other points
not far from Santiago promptly moved TO the at
Tack of the Fifth Army Corps the difficulties OF
he Americans would have been greatly increased
the Ii is possible however. that If
these troops had co-0peTdted with the 5000 that
aid reinforce the troops Of Santiago the night
" July in making vigorous attack. they might
Tor few days but the ultimate San
iago could only have been delayed. General
Linaress kilograms TO his Government TO the
condition OF affairs clearly indicate this.
That the fleet necessary for the preservat ton
II Spanish possessions in Cuba was clearly shown
oy the fact that Immediately after its destruction
then IN Cuba, overtures for peace were begun, the
ISLAND being then absolutely the mercy Of the
American Army and Navy
Results conclusive than theories and
what General Weyler might might not have
done is matter which appears to be Of very little
interest at this time.

AMERICAN COAL TO GO ABROAD.
SHIPMENTS LEAD TO
DEFINITE OFFERS FROM SEW
ERAI. COUNTRIES.

dispatch from Pttsburg to THE Philadelphia
Press" says that the Plttsburg Coal Company, the
SEA 100000 combination Of railroad coal interests
of Western Pennsylvania. has planned for the
entry of American coal into foreign markets a
large scale. Experimental shipments have been
made to England. Europe. Brazil and Italy within
the last year, but ii is now said that the period
of experiment is passed. Recent information OBJ
tanned by the Pittsburg Coal Company shows that
American coal can compete successfully abroad.
provided regular feet OF freighters be called into
existence with the necessary dock facilities IN this
country and In Europe. Pittsburg coal mas oeen
delivered in London less than Sc 20 ton. which
is higher by 90 cents than the price OF Ensnsh
ccal there.
The Pittsburg Coal Company has recently re-
ceived requests for bids large quantities OF coal
from Italy. France Germany and Austria. Italy
has already purchased several thousand tons OF
West Virginia coal for its warships and Is looking
for mere. Statements made recently by ofhcais
OF the coal company are to the enect lhat the
concern is almost certain to estabnsn a line oI
Golfers across the Atlantic next year either di-
rectly or by the organization OF a subsidiary cor
poration, or by the purchase of some line now IN
existence. The officials of the company look for-
ward to the passage of ship subsidy Dill by the
next Congress and say that II this be done Amer
lean coal will be enabled to enter the markets OF
Europe and all the world, successfully competing
with the dearer and poorer qualities OF foreign
coal
A trial order of coal mined the Pttsburg, Nir-
ginia and Charleston division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad has been tested by the London Gas Com
pany and British engineers have been amazed at
it's superiority over the coal they had been using.
The London Gas Company said officialy we
shall go on using American coal. 1t yields lS'"OO
cubic feet of gas ton. against 10000 feet yielded
by a of British coal The American coal Is as
much superior to the Australian coal as the Austra
liam coal is superior to the English fuel.
An official of the Pittsburg Coal Company mas
said that the only way to handle successfully
large foreign business is 10 establish regular trans
portation lines I'VE cannot depend on tramp mp
steamers for European shipments" he added II

FRICTION AMONG TROOPS IN CHINA.
AMERICANS AND FRENCH HAVE SOME MINOR
DISPUTES.

Tqen-Tsn, China Oct. A-The presence of a
large number of troops here In contiguous camps
and with naturally existing national prejudces is
causing considerable friction. and several unpleas-
ant incidents have occurred. So far however. none
of them have advanced beyond the stage of Incl
dents easily adjusted and on all sides there is an
evident disposition to treat these occurrences
the natural result of military conditions. One OF
the chief causes of friction has been the number
of pontoon bridges thrown across the river. There
are three of these within the space of mile and,
the river is crowded with junks and towboats.
conflict has been the result Most of the
trouble has occurred at the French bridge and
twice trouble has resulted between the French
guards and the American sentres the boats.
A few days ago a string OF twenty junks coming
downstream held up az the French bridge for
several hours. in spite of the protests of the
American guards on board Finally word reached
the American headquarters of the condition of az
fairs. and officer sent up to the bridge.
He found a French sentinel on the forward boat
and promptly ordered him Off There sharp
interchange between the American and French Of
hcers, but the sentry was removed General Sum-
then arrived, and the result that the bridge
opened and the boats were allowed to pass.
A day or two ago there was another bit OF fric-
ton in which both sides rather overstepped the
limit and are fairly chargeable with some blame.
The bridge regulations require that only boat
may go through a time. a fleet of junks in
charge of a non-commissioned American soldier
came down and attempt was made to take three
of them through the draw abreast In coming
through the junks damned in the draw, and the
American the leading boat and the French
bridge guards clashed The Frenchmen attempted
TO the American. and fist fight ensued in
which one Frenchman went overheard and several
badly used up. The American was finally
overpowered and put under guard. He
released. but, according to his statement. he
struck while under arrest by French officer. The
man stated that two guards held their bayOnets at
his heart while officer hit him in the face, cut
ting cash over his eye. The matter is now under
inVeStiga tion.
The feeling between the French and American
soldiers apparently dates from the killing of Cor
pOral Hughes. of the Sd Artillery, some weeks ago
by French sentry, whom he with two companions
attempted to rush in order to the bridge after
dark. The camps OF the 18th Infantry. the Sd Ar
tillery and section of the French force are close
together and there is evidently considerable bad
blood between the two 1t cropped out recently
when a French soldier cut the lead team of
American army wagon the head with
stick. The teamster jumped out of the wagon.
and according TO reports, gave the offender and
several of his companions some pretty rough
handling.
