NO SALE OF WEST VIRGINIA CENTRAL.
Baltimore, Jan. 9.-'The Evening News has a
statement from c. H. Livingstone, private
tary TO Senator Elkins, Of West Virginia in which
he is quoted reiterating that gentlemans denial
Of the alleged sale Of the West Virginia Central
Railroad either tho Pennsylvania Wabash
systems. He explains the reported sale follows:
The reports probably due the fact that the
company has undertaken to broaden the basis of its
operations. and in doing this has bought additional
coal lands and rights of way for extensions east
and west. In doing this have been negotiating
with different persons and, judging by reports
every fellow we have been dealing with has bought
the road. Our westerly extension will be the
Little Kanawha River. to connect with the Little
kanewha River Railroad The latter will take the
West Virginia Central to Parkersburg, where it will
meet the Wabash Railroad. The Wabash has com
pleied it's plans build 10 Parkersburg and has
let a contract for the construction of a bridge
scross the Ohio River at that place and approaches

MUTINY ON A SHIP.
MurderOus Plan to Secure $4,000 and

Murderous Plan to Secure $4,000 and
Wreck the Vessel.
New York, Oct. 15. - The little
steamer Dos Hermanos was sent out Oh
cruise among some of the southern
islands by trading firm a few days be-
fore the transport Sherman left Manila,
says dispatch from San Francisco.
The steamer reached Virac and an.
chored in the harbor there. Officers
and the few passengers on board we're al
dinner in the cabin when about 30 oI
the crew, led by the boatswain, rushed
down the gangway armed with knives
hatchets and clubs, and demanded the
money that was on the vessel. The
officers were caught unarmed. The two
women passengers fed to their rooms,
The captain and men passengers gave
the mutineers battle.
The Dos Hermanos was anchored
close to the shore and not far away
from the constabulary barracks. The
noise of the fight was heard at the bar
racks and officers put out to the vessel.
They succeeded in boarding after a
desperate struggle with the mutineers,
several of whom were shot and killed.
The others, numbering 81, were arrest.
ed, charged with mutiny and piracy.
1t is supposed the plan of the mutt
neers was to kill all the officers, run
away with the steamer, take the
$3.50 which was aboard and then
wreck the shin and declare all were
lost except themselves.

Archbishop of San Francisco.

The Hague, Oct. 16.-The albitra,
tion court in the pious fund case has
condemned Mexico to pay the United
States 81 APO, ,6S2 in Mexican currency.
The decision of the court was unani.
nous. The tribunal finds:
First--That the claim OF the United
States on behalf OF the archbishop oI
San Francisco is governed bv the prin.
cipal of res judica, in virtue OF the ar.
bitration decision pronounced by Sir
Edward Thornton, November IL, 1875,
and amended by Sir Edward Thornton
October "a, 1875.
Second That in conformity with
this decision, the government of the
United States Of Mexico should pay the
government OF the United States
81 ,420,682 in money OF the legal cur
rency of Mexico within the period fixed
by article 10 of the protocol OF Wash
ington. This sum will cover the total
payment of annuities due from and

lean republic, namely, the annual pay
ment of $43, $50 in Mexican currency

special dipomatic corps, their wives.
and representatives of the litigants.
DIR. Matsen, president of the court, who
declared that revision OF the sentence
was possible only in event of new
facts coming to light, thanked the rep
resentatives of the United States and OF
Mexico for their assistance in enlight-
ening the arbitrators. He added that,
while no single judge was infallible,
the unanimity of the arbitrators who
had so closely examined the whole
question at issue was a guarantee that
no mistake had been made President
Matsen concluded with expressing the
best wishes for the health of Queen
Wilhelmina and the prosperity of her
people, who had welcomed the mem
bers of the court so cordially
Mr.. Ralston, of Washington, one of
the lawyers in the case, and Senior
Paredo, in behalf of Mexcio, thanked
the court for the care it had taken in
the case. Senior Paredo said that he
was sure that as soon as his government
learned OF the courts award it would
accept il. He must, however, reserve
for his government the right to avail
itself of the provisions of the protocol.

TO INCREASE CUBAN ARMY.
Island Congress Is Now Considering Bill
for This Purpose.

Washington, Oct. 14.-The Cuban
congress is considering a bill to in.
crease the Cuban army to three or
four times its present strength, and
the impression prevails in the island
that the bill will be enacted. Should
Secretary Root heed the appeal of Pres
ident Palma, the legislation would be
looked upon as almost necessary, as the
Cubans are looking forward with much
anxiety to the time when their own
troops can form the sole garrison of
Havana, and when there will be no
other troops to dispute their title.
The natives Of the island, according
to mail sdvices from the Cuban me-
tropolis, have misconception of the
intention OF this government in leaving
handful Of troops in their territory.
Those that remain are in no way acting
as a garrison, and do not assert them
selves, or thrust themselves to the
front, as they did prior to May 20.
Officially, neither American officers
nor men appear at any functions.
Whenever they are invited, 1t is in a
personal and not an official capacity.
It is said today that an American uni
form is rarely seen on the streets of
Havana, there being practically no
evidence Of the presence of our troops
in that vicinity.

ALL DEPENDS ON MITcHEIsi-.
Miners do not Favor Proposition of Coal
Operators-Unfair They Say.

Miners do not Favor Proposition OF Goa
Operators Unfair, They Say.
| Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. Is. - From 9
thorough canvass OF the situation as il
exists tonight there is every indication
that the new arbitration plan proposed
by the presidents of the coal compan,
les for ending the miners strike will
not be accepted in its present form,
There is division Of opinion among
the strikers, but there is no doubt that
a majority feel that the offer to have
the president OF the United States
select an arbitration commission along
the lines suggested by the operators is
not fair, and that it unduly limits the
board. The miners, it is safe to say,
will abide by the advice Of their ma
tional president, in whose judgment
they have the utmost confidence.
President Mitchell declines to say
how he personally looks upon the prop
osition, but tonight he gave to the press
the following statement:
~ fully.appreciate with what anxiety
the people OF our country are awaiting
the end OF the coal strike. The coal
operators have not addressed the Min.
ers' union, or its officers, in making
their public statement. 1t is therefore
impossible for me to state the attitude
Of the miners at this time. am now,
as have always been, deeply solicitous
Of the interests of the public and the
Welfare of the mineworkers who have
been on strike for the past five months.
A formal statement defining Of position
and intentions will be issued Just as
soon as we are in possession of the full
meaning of the proposition of the
operators"
The rank and file of the miners view
the new proposition in different lights.
Those who are opposed to accepting the
new offer look upon the operators lat
& cSb AlONO as u COuuboI pIOpOSlblOu W
Mr.. MITCHELL offer to arbitrate made in
the temporary White House at Wash
ington. They compare the two offers
and pick out what they all agree to be
many flaws.
A great many of the strikers think
the proposition should be accepted, and
that the miners should trust to Presi-
dent Roosevelt to do the best he can
under the conditions laid down by the
coal-road presidents.
There is still third view held by
miners, and that is to refuse to accept
the plan proposed and make counter
proposition, embodying some of the
suggestions contained in the operators
offer. One proposition suggested is
that the operators, the Miners and the
president each select a number of men
to act as a board. This was mentioned
by President Mitchell, but he would
make no comment on it.

SLOW ON wARsHIpS.
Behind Contract Time In Construction
This Permits improvements.

Washington, Oct. 15.-" "Progres,
upon new vessels under construction
during the past year has not been salts
factory" says Rear Admiral Bowles
chief Of the naval bureau of construc.
tion, in his annual report to the secre.
tary of the navy. All the larger YES.
sells, he says, have been delayed by the
nondelivery of structural steel, while
the vessels building at San francisco
were set back by the 10 months strike,
and the holdout OF the workmen at Se-
attic prevented any actual progress on
the structure of the hull OF the battle
ship Nebraska building there. The de-
lay in the deliveries OF arinor for the
battleships Maine, Missouri, and Ohio
and the monitors Arkansas, Florida,
Nevada and Wyoming has retarded the
completion Of these vessels, concurrent
ly with other causes. The inability OF
shipbuilders to obtain a sufficient force
of skilled workers also has been in
many cases an important factor in the
slow progress.
The battleship Ohio is shcwn to have
been 29 months behind her contract on
the first Of July. The battIeship Mis-.
souri, is over 20 months behind. The
majority of the battleships and cruisers
are over 10 months behind, and some
of the torpedo craft are more than 40
months behind the date of completion
stipulated in their contracts. How
ever, Admiral Bowles says that the ex !.
tensive delays on the torpedo boats are
being terminated by the newly modified
conditions foi their delivery.
The contractors delay in beginning
construction of the Virginia, Pennsyl-
vania and st. Louis, the chief con.
structor points out, gave his bureau an
opportunity to make careful revision
OF the general plans of those vessels
which, he says, will result in a con-
siderable improvement In their military
value and in their habitabiIity. The
plans for the turrets OF the Virginia
class were developed in more detail.
An entire Encouragement Of the scheme
for the stowage OF ammunition was
made and particular attention was
given to an efficient scheme for coaling.
The ships added to the navy during the
past year the battleship IlliLois and the
Sorpedo craft Decatur, Perry, Preble,
Biddle, Thornton and Wilkes.
Substantial and encouraging progress
is reported in the Standardization Of
chip fittings, scheme to secure uni
formitY in the innumerable types OF
ships parts, which has long been fos-
tered by the construction department.

HOT BATTLE WITH ROBBERS.
Aged Men Killed Two Assailants, but were
Badly Injured Themselves.

Aged Men Killed Two AssaiIants, but were
Badly Injured Themselves.
Cleveland, o., Oct. 16.-In a farm
house two miles from the village Of
Rochester, in Lorraine county, a terrible
battle was fought tonight between aged
brothers named Meach and six desper-
ate robbers. AS result Of the battle
two of the robbers were shot to death,
one probably fatally wounded, and two
OF the Meach brothers were badly
beaten.
There are three of the Meach broth
ers, Loren, aged nearly 80 years; John,
about 20, and Jarvis, aged So. The
old men are said to be rich. While
John was in the barn, he was sur
rounded by three robbers and bound.
Going to the house they knocked Jarvis
Meach into insensibility. John Meach
worked himself loose from the bonds,
however, and seizing shotgun, eau
tiously stole upon the three burglars
who were working at the safe. He shot
two of them to death and fatally
wounded the third man. The three
companions OF the men, who were watch
ing the house, realizing their danger,
Immediately got away. The robbers
secured no money.
The wounded robber refused to make
any statement as to identity.
