NAV ASK ANNEXATION.
Cubans Give Warning to American
Sugar and Tobacco Interests.


Havana, Aug. 9.-The Union of To-
bacco Growers was asked recently by
the Merchants union to express an
opinion on the duty levied in the Unit
ed States against tobacco. The reply
was that the duty on cigars should be
reduced to $3.50 per 100 irrespective
of value, and the duties on filters and
wrappers should be reduced to 20 and
rs cents, respectively, per pound. A
long preamble declares that if Cuba
does not obtain concessions to which
she has a perfect right, in view Of the
fact that she is under the economic
as we'll as the political protection of
the United States, she should ask for
annexation.
"This the United States would
grant" the preamble goes on to say,
las it would be in conformity with
the desire of majority of the Ameri'
can people. Thus the successful op-
position of the suga. and tobacco in
terests of the bTnited States in grant
Ing concessions to Cuba would only
result in the ruin Of those interests.
since with annexation Cuba would
have free trade and this would mean
the overthrow of the sugar and to-
bacco industries in the States"

Minneapolis, Aug. 9.-Thea Pittsburg
Coal company, otherwise known as the
bituminous coal combine, has secured
controlling interest in the soft coal
business of the Northwest by acquir-
ing the Pioneer Fuel company and the
Youghiogheny and Lehigh company.
These two companies control 60 per
cent of the business in this section
The combine is negotiating for and
will probably secure the Northwestern
Fuel and the Ohio Coal company, the
largest remaining companies. In the
event of success only four small in
dependent companies will remain.
Heretofore the soft coal business has
been handled by individual dealers
without any such agreement as to
prices as has obtained in the anthra-
cite business. There has been drop
Of 80 cents in soft coal within the last
two weeks and this is taken to indi-
cate the purpose of the combine to
force the small dealers into line.

NOVEL QUESTION RAISED.
CoIorado's Position Regarding Status
Of Aliens.


Washington, Aug 9-The case re.
ported from Denver, in which the
Italian authorities complained that
the local courts have refused to con-
slider the case of an Italian on the
ground Of being a nonresident alien,
presents some new and rather novel
features, although the state depart
ment has not had occasion to consider
the matter, as the papers have not
been received. Article XIII Of the
treaty between the United States and
Italy recites that "the citizens of
either party shall have free access to
the courts of justice, in order to main
tain and defend their own rights. with
out any other condition, restriction or
taxes than such as are imposed upon
the natives" AS a general principle
the provisions of a treaty are binding
upon states as we'll as upon the federal
government. Whether, however, this
treaty guarantee of free access to the
courts Of justice" is sufficient to over
come any specific local laws has never
before been brought in issue, and it
may require mature consideration of
the various interests involved to de.
termine just how far the local statutes
or the treaty provisions are para
mount,

Bad COLLISION IN IRISH BEA
Big Liner Oceanic Sinks the Steamer
Kinkora in Collision in Irish
Sea.
Ill Fated Vessel Had Crew of Four
teen and Seven Perish with the
Sinking Ship.
Oceanic Escapes with Slight Injury
and Proceeds on Way After Land
ing Survivors.

Queenstown, Aug. 9.-The White
Star line steamer Oceanic, Captain
Cameron, which sailed from Liverpool
Wednesday for NeW York, via Queens
town, arrived here during the morn
ing and reported having been in col
lision in the Irish Channel with the
steamer Kinkora of Waterford, Ire
land. The Kinkora sank. Seven per-
sons were drowned.
The collision occurred in fog. The
bow of the Oceanic was damaged. The
Kinkora was a coasting vessel trading
between Waterford and Limerick. She
had crew of IA men. The Oceanic
brought the seven survivors to this
port. The damage sustained by the
Oceanic will not prevent her proceed
ing on her journey.
When later details of the collision
were obtained it was learned that the
only damage sustained by the Oceanic
consisted of few dents in her port
plates. She proceeded at $3.50 p. m.
The collision occurred this side Of
Tuskar, at about 1870 in the morning.
The fog was very dense. The Kin
kora was struck amidships All the
passengers on the Oceanic were in
bed at the time and there was some
commotion until the captain assured
them that there was not the least
cause for alarm. Headway was kept
on the Oceanic after she struck the
Kinkora in order to give the crew Of
the latter chance to Chamber on
board the Oceanic. The boat of the
White Star liner were lowered to res
cue every man possible. The Kinkora
sank very rapidly. The Oceanic re-
mained in the vicinity of the collision
until daylight, but nothing was then
visible beyond some floating wreckage.

ter at San Francisco, showing that a
serious condition exists there as re-
suit of the strikes. 1t has been found
impossible to procure skilled labor
and almost impossible to find labor of
any kind to work on the ships. For
this reason the government will turn
the transport Lennox over to her own
ers without removing the government
fittings. Heretofore, it has been the
custom to have transport refitted
upon the expiration of the charter as
she was when the government took
it. Colonel Leg says that the COM
merce of the port of San Francisco has
been practically tied up, and that the
strike situation there is more serious
than at any time since it began.

ONE MILL STARTS WORK
Steel Combine Succeeds in Opening
the Lindsay and MoCutcheon
Plant Today.
Amalgamated Officials Say the Comp

Keep it Operating.
President Gompers of the Federation
of Labor is Comforting with Strike
Leaders.

Pittsburg, Aug. 9.-Events are NOV.
Ing quickly in the steel strike ROW and
unless there is some unlocked for in.
terruption the contending sides will
soon face each other in the full meas
ure of their strength. The United
States Steel corporation has succeed
ed in opening the Farm mill of the
Lindsay & McCutcheon plant and
President Gompers Of the Federation
confer with President Shaffer. The
Steel corporation counts the opening
of the Lindsay & McCutcheon mill a
great victory over the strikers, while
the latter claim the company has not
sufficient men to keep the mill in op
Grafton. There was no disturbance
over the reopening of the mill. Most
of the men who struck at the mill
have found positions at other plants
and when the opening was made
there was no one on hand to offer op-
position. The Steel corporation Off
cials are exultant at the starting of
the Wellsville, Hyde Park and Clark
mills and say they will soon open
other plants. They say they can open
the Painter mill at any time. There
is no evidence yet of any trouble, but
If the general strike order shall be-
come effective state troops will be
ready to move so as to preserve Or
der.
President Shaffer and President
Gompers were in conference during
the morning. The latter came here
from Atlantic City, accompanied by
Secretary Morrison, and reached the
strike headquarters unobserved. The
results Of the conference are of the
greatest Importance to the strikers.
Thousands Of Federation men work
side by side with the Amalgamated
association men and their policy as to
the strike will be vitality important
Besides, the Federation has a vast
membership and it's financial assist
ance is an important consideration.
Not Much of Victory.
President Shaffer, when shown the
report of the starting Of the Lindsay
& McCutcheon plants of the American
Steel Hoop company, said:
There is nothing in it. I have a
report from Vice President Gibson in
forming me that there are only two
men at the works One is a. roller and
the other common laborer. 1t will
do them no good and will do the COM
pany harm to take men from other
mills and put them there as they
would only break the machinery and
spoil the metal"
At McKeesport the Wood company
doubled its guards and the report that
non-union men were to be brought to
town stirred the strikers to excite
ment. No men were brought in, how
ever. Some of the men employed at
the National Steel plant, an adjunct
of the National Tube company, have
formed new Amalgamated lodge
Reports from Leechburg, Apollo, Salts
burg and Vandergrift, where the
Amalgamated association has had but
few friends since the Homestead
strike, say there is a feeling of rest
lessness since the general strike or
der was issued, and that division of
sentiment has been created. The
steel officials say they fear no trouble,
however.

THE STATUS IN CHINA.
Authoritative Statement of the Pres
ent Situation.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The following
the Chinese negotiations is given from
authoritative sources in order to cor.
rect some misapprehension which has
arisen from pub! ID reports as to the
possible causes for delay in signing
the protocol at Peking:
All the negotiators are agreed on
the tariff matter. The present ad
valorem tariff is to be converted into a
specific tariff at the average rates of
the present treaty tariff, 7 per centum,
and articles now On the free list are
to be included in the new specific
schedule. The details of this arrange
ment are to be left to a special COM
mittee, to sit hereafter, probably at
Shanghai.
The details Of the arrangement for
the prohibition of the Importation Of
firearms, munitions and materials for
their manufacture were settled some
months ago. They provide for the
seizure by the foreign warships Of any
Chinese Of foreign ships entering Chi
nese waters- with the prohibited ar
ticles on board, and also for such steps
as each of the several foreign govern
ments may deem it proper or be in a
position to take, in order to prohibit
the expectation Of arms and supplies
from their respective countries to
China. The state department is not
officially advised of the provisions of
an amendment to this article of the
protocol which is reported to have
been recently introduced, but it's OBJ,
ject would seem to be to require the
Chinese authorities to actively co.
oprate in enforcing the prohibition
which the Chinese negotiators already
have accepted in principle.
