AFRAID OF THE AMERICAN.
Swedish Army officer After Chal-
longing an American for "a Duel
Fails 10 Show n.

Stockholm, Sweden, July IA great
sensation has been caused in military
circles here by the conduct of Captain
Arvid Wester, who. after challenging
an American, William Casper, to fight
la duel, failed to appear at the spot
selected for the encounter.
Last night in the Grand Arena
Palace, Wester, in the full uniform Of
la captain on the general staff and
wearing his decorations, disturbed the
lSeance of a mind reader. Casper. the
manager of the establishment, remon-
strated and demanded an apology. This
Wester refused and Casper said the
Iofficer's conduct was ungentlemanly
and disgraceful. The captain then
challenged the American, who accepted
and repaired to the meeting place at
O'Clock his morning with his seconds.
Including the secretary of the United
States legation Joseph MUIR. Wes-
ter, who vas a war correspondent in
Cuba and South Africa. failed TO APP
pear and as a consequence will un-
doubtedly be forced to retire from the

Claims He Had the Right to Say
Anything in n Personal Letter to
dent.

Washington, July lin the case Of
General Bragg, United States Consul
General at Havana, the state depart
ment has heard from Minister Squiers
and also Indirectly from General Bragg.
The general takes the ground that this
is a purely personal matter and that
he is not therefore open to official crit
icism, that he had a right TO say any
thing he pleased to in a personal letter
to his wife and no had a right to
question her respecting the publication.
Thus the general neither admits nor
denies the accuracy of the quotation.
AS the matter has been formally called
to Mr.. Squiers attention by the Cuban
government it is expected that General
Bragg's reply will be sent to the presi-
dent for action.

ers or Not.

Indianapolis, Ind. July 1.-THE ma
tional convention OF the United States
Mine Workers will assemble in Tomlin-
son hall tomorrow to discuss the ad-
visibility of calling a strike to aid the
anthracite men who have been out in
the east for several weeks. The action
Of the convention is uncertain, although
the situation tonight indicates that
there will be no walkout of the soft
coal men. There are many circum-
stances, however, that may change the
situation.
If President Mitchell controls the sit
uatfon absolutely, he said, this after
noon, that the convention would take
action which would result in the win
ming of the strike by the anthracite
men in the east. that the strikers were
~contendinS for a principle, to which
the United Line workers a beer long
committed, and that it was the duty of
the parent body TO aid them by every
means in its power. When asked
whether these utterances could be con-
structed into meaning that he was in
favor of a strike, Mr.. Mitchell was
seized with a paroxysm OF reticence.
