a GENERAL MINERS STRIKE
throughout Great Britain Unless the
Coal Tax is withdrawn.

London, May 1.-At a meeting of the
Miners Federation held in London
this morning and attended by delegates
from all parts of the United Kingdom,
it was recommended that all miners
quit work unless the coal tax is with
drawn. Another meeting was sum-
moned for May 7th to finally decided
the matter and to fix a date for the
stoppages of work should that step be
resolved upon.
1t is understood that the recommen-
dation of the Miners Federation will be
submitted to the miners forthwith and
that in the event of the men approving
some 100000 miners will lay down their
tools when the signal is given. Wheth-
er or not the miners will actually strike
depends largely on the trend of the
discussion of the coal tax resolution
which comes up in the house of COM
mons tomorrow.
Although it is generally supposed the
coal owners have been backing the
miners with the object of bringing
pressure on the government to modify
the coal taxation project there are
signs of division of opinion since the
federation reached it's decision, and
some of the influential owners, espec-
tally those not exporting coal, are coun-
selling prudence. The miners reason fol
advocating a strike appears to be based
on fear that the owners will recOur
themselves from the tax by an eQuiva-
lent reduction in wages.

der will be Immediately repealed if yel-
low fever makes it appearance. Fol-
lowing is a part of the order:

marine hospital service. Health certi-
ficates will be furnished passengers and
second-class and other doubtful bag
gage will be sterilized and vessels dis

TROOPS NEEDED IN CHINA
Answer of the Foreign Generals to the
Ministers.

Pekin, Tuesday, April 30.-Field
Marshal vop Waldersee, in the letter
which he sent to the ministers today,
as the reply of the generals To the
views of the ministers regarding mil
itary questions, says a garrison of g.
900 men should be left at Tien Tsin and
the adjoining district, Great Britain,
France, Germany and Japan to con-
tribute 1,40O men each and Italy to
contribute 400
To garrison Shanghai Kwan, France,
Russia, Great Britain and Germany
are to contribute 800 men each and
Italy one company until the forts are
raZed. So long as any forces occupy
Chinese territory the foreign military
commanders must exercise the full au-
thority of civil administration, accord
ing to the principle established at The
Hague in 1899. The Chinese may re-
main in office, as in the case of Pao
Flu, and, partly Tien Tsin.
Besides the 5000 men in Tien Tsin
be in the Peo. will preserve communi-
cation with the international fleet at
Taku.
Concerning the question of evacua-
tion, opinions were divided. The Brit
ish, Japanese and Germany command
erS were OF the opinion that the evac-
uation would not commence until China
had accepted the prescribed conditions
and paid the total indemnities.
The generals are convinced that O.
600 men at Pekin, 1.500 at Shanghai
kwan and 5000 men on the railroad
and altogether 1880 men, with the
fleets at Taku and Shanghai, will be a
fully sufficient force to compel China
to accept the demand for and manner
Of payment Of the indemnity.
washington, May 1.-The guard at
the American legation at Pekin will
not be subjected to the latest phases
Of the negotiations at Pekin as told in
press dispatches, and it is suggested
as possibility that the demands in
this regard of the international gen.
erals is not qualified. Still if 1t is, the
American legation guard will retain
its independence, even If it is neces-
sary to that end to remove it from Pc
kin and from China.
