nent confidential letters from busi-
ness men, not only in Havana, but in
all the other large cities of the is
land, begging this country not to
leave them at the mercy of the adj

amounts almost to panic.

nitely located the exact position In

corps of divers will be set to work
within few days to release from the
vessel all of the bodies which may be
entangled in the rigging or impris-
oned in the cabins Of the steamer.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 25.-The Com

the industrial east, with its railway
and other interests largely dovetailed
with the anthracite collieries, is look
ing forward with dread anticipation
for the advent of April as the day ON
which another great miners strike
may be called, the body of the United
Mine Workers Of America is standing
on conservative platform which Is
reasonably certain to obviate any
thing of the kind, Even If the an
thracite operators refuse to meet the
miners in joint wage conference, it Is
barely possible that a strike can be
avoided. Consent in any form, even II
only tacit, to allow the present an
thracite agreement to continue, thus
opening the way for the miners to
correct various local conditions.
promises to close the matter with all
its complications. In a conference
the miners have little TO gain save
recognition for their union.
Miners of the bituminous fields are
naturally vastly interested in the out
come Of the proposed wage confer
ence In the anthracite fields. After
discussing the matter with a number
Of representative miners in the Pitts
burg district the consensus OF opin-
ion would seem to be that since the
bituminous fields have settled their
wage scale at last years rates, barring
local complications, the anthracite
wage question might be settled on
the same basis.

SWIFT RkIhIbUTION.
Negro Who Murdered Miss Finkel.
stein Lyncbed at Terre Haute.
The VICTIMS CORPSE Is BURNED.


Terre Haute, Ind, Feb. 27.-Justice,
swift and terrible, was meted out yes
terday to George Ward, the negro
who murdered Miss Ida Finkelstein,
the school-teacher, by shooting her
with shotgun and cutting her throat
Monday afternoon. He was arrested
at the car works, where he was EN-
ployed as a laborer, and after being
fully identified by two citizens, made
confession, His only excuse for the
murder was his allegation that Miss
Finkelstein called him dirty mig
GER and slapped him in the face. Be-
fore the sheriff called on the militia
the prisoner was in the hands of the
mob and was dead.
A; noon the crowd outside the Jail,
numbered several hundreds. Po-
lice arrived at the Jail and tried to
dispense the crowd. but with poor
success. 1t kept on growing and the
excitement increased and at 1895
o'clock another crowd of irresistible
numbers attacked the Jail, batterng
down the outer doors, securing pos
session of the keys and entering the
cell room. The cell was quickly
opened and Ward was dragged forth,
fighting with all his strength, but a
blow from heavy hammer felled
him to the ground. A moose was adj
justed to his neck and the mob start
ed with its victim toward the Wabash
bridge. The feeble resistance made by
the wretched creature after that blow
with the hammer was soon quoted
by the savage blows Of the mob.
Face downward, he was dragged
through the street to the bridge and
across the rough planking from the
driveway to the drawbridge. Many
are of the opinion that the negro was
dead before the scene Of the hanging
was reached. However, the rope was
thrown over one of the upper beams
and the body drawn up. 1t had been
swinging in that position but a short
time when some one suggested burn
ing. Immediately a fire was kndled
on the bank of the river near the
bridge and the body of the wretched
murderer was rapidly consumed.
There was no attempt at disguise
on the part of any member of the
mob. Women came to the scene by
scores and elbowed their way into the
inner circle of spectators apparently
unnoved by the horror of the spec
tacle.

no search for the missing young man

Negotiations with this end in view
lave been pending since Friday, and
were completed late Saturday evening,
when Mr. Van Camp, the agent of the
United States Fidelity and Guaranty
Company, of Baltimore, left the city.
Mr.. Anda Morse, father Of clyde w.

shortage and stop criminal prosecution
If this could possibly be Dome for the
sake of Mrs. Morse, who has been pros
trated since her sons disappearance. He
has been making an effort to dispose Of
his property at a sacrifice in order to
co this. The bond company did not de-
sire to go to the expense Of a search and
TO prosecute If their loss was made good.

that the company stands ready to pay
