from Manila that on September 18th Cap

Scarcely doubt entire party captured
with many killed, wounded Shields
among latter. Information sent by letter
from the commanding officer at Boac,
dated September Goth, received September

Captain Shields was lieutenant colonel of
the Second Mississippi during the Span
ish War. He was made captain in the
Twenty ninth infantry. July 5th. 1899. He
was n resident of Natchez. Miss. where
his wife now resides. The scene of this
latest reverse is small island lying
due south Of the southern coast of Luzon
and about 800 miles from Manila.
Martinique is about "a miles in diameter
and was garrsoned by two small detach-
ments of United States troops. One of
these was at Boac on the west coast of
the island. and the other was at Santa
Cruz, the principal port on the north side.
Captain Shields appears to have started
from Santa Cruz on gunboat for Torrijos,
a small coast port, and it is inferred that
the boat as we'll as the body of troops
under that officer has been captured, for
the dispatch makes no reference to her
return.
The officers of the gunboat Villalobos
were Lieutenant Edward Simpson, COM
manding; Ensign Irwin f. Landis and
Naval Cadet Poe w. Vincent.

pany f, Twenty ninth regiment shows

DEATH OF C. A. COLLIER.
Doubtless Wounded by Accidental Discharge
of His 0wn Pistol.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated PreSS.)
Atlanta. Ga. Sept 2S.-Hon. Charles A.
Collier former mayor of Atlanta, and
commissioner to the Paris Exposition,
died this morning from the effects of an
accidental pistol wound received yesterday
morning.
Mr.. Collier was not conscious at any
time after receiving the wound, and the
facts attending it are not known. Cir
cumstances indicate. however, that Mr..
Collier fell from the steps of the porch
in the rear of his residence while investi
eating some noise that had awakened him.
Mr.. Collier was found at the bottom of
the stairs which lead from the back OF
the house to the yard. He was lying on
the brick pavement with one wound in
his head where he had struck it in falling,
and another IN his left side Immediately
below the ribs, caused by the bullet from
his pistol.

From another reliable source it was
learned that the presidents OF the coal
companies in New York sent draft of
the proposed settlement of the strike
to their representatives here with in
structions to meet in conference and dis
cuss whether it would be advisable TO
make terms with the strikers on the
basis stated.
Dlferences of opinion developed as to
whether the operators could stand the
increase in wages. 1t was reported that
representatives of the Lackawanna Com
pany thought they could.
From what can be learned the opera
tors were not opposed to granting a re-
duction in the price of powder, but there
was q strong feeling expressed against
an out and out recognition of the miners
union.

at Washington.
THE BLOCKADE BY RUSSIA

Known Here.
DID PRINCE CHING ASSIST THE BOXERS 4?
It is Reported That He Contributed to the Anti.
Foreign Cause, But Our Government
Always Found Him Friendly
to Fo eign rs.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept. 2S.-The State
Department has not been advised Of
ficially of any of the events of more
or less Importance which are said to
have occurred in China according to
various European reports, within the
past twenty-four hours. If Tuan has
been degraded and if Russia contem-
plates a blockade of the Chinese naval
ports the Department does not know
the facts. 1t has let it be known to
the Chinese Government that Tuan's
promotion would be unwelcome to
this Government, but it has not vet
been informed of the result of that
representation. Respecting the state
ment that Ching has been discovered
to be contributor to the Boxer cause,
1T is said that all of the information
that the Department has been able to
secure touching his personality went
to show his unvarying friendliness for
the foreigners and upon that record
he had been accepted as Il competent
envoy.
The officials declined to say whether
or not the instructions to- Minister
Ctonger have gone. forward yet, but the
intimation is that the Minister is by
this time fully advised as to the State
Departments policy. 1t is said. how
ever, and the statement may be sig
nificant, that no developments in the
Chinese situation of Importance are
expected within the next two weeks
at least.
A PACIFIC BLOCKADE"
Washington, Sept. 2S-The report from
st. Petersburg said to have been made
on the authority of the Russian Naval
Staff that owing to the hostile attitude
of the Chinese fleet at Shanghai, Russia
proposes to blockade the Chinese naval
ports" created much interest at the Navy
Department and in Government circles
generally today. AS there is no state
ment to the effect that it is to be pre-
ceded by declaration of war, it is as
sumed the blockade proposed will be that
known as ''pocifc blockade
If the report from st. Petersburg
Should prove to be correct the SUPPOSE
tion is that as it is based on the al
legged activity of the Chinese fleet. the
blockade would be directed against
Chinese ports where there are naval
stores, dry docks or coaling stations.
There are but six of these ports on the
Chinese coast not within the spheres OF
foreign powers, namely Niu Chwang
where there is mud dock; Taku and
Tlen Tsin where there are Chinese Gov
ernment docks and yards; Shanghai, Foo
Chow, Annoy and Whan Poa, where there
IS granite dock owned by the Chinese
Government
