ABOUT NEXT MONDAY
Struggle is Over Pump
Men--C1airnS of
Both Sides.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. May 27.-Tt is still
matter of conjecture whether the
mines i'll the anthracite region will be
completely shut down next Monday,
when the order issued by the United
Mine Workers, governing the hours
of labor and wages to be paid engi-
neers, firemen and pump runners, goes
into effect. The operators claim that
they will have all the help necessary
to keep the pumps and engines in run
ming order. The United Mine Workers
and the officers of the Stationary Fire
mems association, on the other hand,
assert that unless the coal companies
grant the demands made upon them
the great bulk of the engineers, fire
men and bumpers will quit work.
There seems to be no question but
that both sides are Straining every
nerve to make the best showing pos
sible.
Fight Now Is Over the Pump Force.
The operators are bringing all the
influence they can to hold the men
now at work, while the striking min
erS are also doing missionary work.
Many of the engineers do not like
the predicament they are placed i'll.
Ii they quit work they will displease
be reinstated, while if they remain
at their posts and the miners should
win their strike they would probably
find that things would mot he so
pleasant for them ut the collierieS in
the future. In order to reach those
who are waverinG call was issued
last night for Il mass meeting of all
engineers, bumpers and firemen in the
Wyoming region, in this city next Fri
day evening.
Position of the Firemen Known.
While the position that will be
taken by a great many of the engi-
neers and pumpmen is not known, it
is known for certainty where the
tiremen stand. They will strike almost
to 4 man, and the operators will be
compelled to secure green hands to
take their places. State Secretary Null
lahy, in statement issued last night,
says the entire brotherhood of Sta
tionary Firemen will quit work next
Monday. Sunday night he gave it out
that 80 per cent. of the men would
quit work. but now he says he has re-
ceived returns which justify him in
making the prediction that the entire
body will go out. AIullahy also de-
clares that 90 per cent of the engi-
neers and pumpmen will strike.
Mysterious Fire at a Breaker.
The engineers. fitiremen and pump
men who were discharged ut the BoS-
ton cOlliery of the Delaware and Hud-
son company because they refused to
do work which was formerly done by
the strikers, We're reinstated yesterday
\ mysterious fire occurred at the old
Empire breaker yesterday morning
The breaker has been abandoned for
some time. but there is a watchman
on duty. The striking miners say the
fire was of incendiary origin,~and that
some enemy of the strikers was guilty
of applying the match. Some body fir
ing from ambush yesterday wounded
Duncan Moorehead in the arm. Moore
head had refused to quit work at the
Carson washery, Yorktown.

MISTAKEN IN HIS SUBJECT
Hypnotizer Fails to Get the Upper Hand
of Bull.

Racine, Wis. May 27.-Bert Peter
son, of Milwaukee, wagered a compan-
ion 500 that he could enter cornfield
on farm north of this city and bring
n ferocious bull under subjection by
hypnotizing it. The animal chased
Peterson. but he managed to dodge it
until he reached n high board fence,
which he was unable TO scale.
The bull rammed him and forced
him through the fence, with probably
fatal results. Three ribs were frac-
tured. his shoulder dislocated, and his
face badly cut. He was removed to a
Milwaukee hospital in an unconscious
condition. When he regained his senses
he said he would pay the bet.

.DELIBERATE LIE" SAYS MrDONALD
Officers Did Not Behave DisSracefully at
a Native Dance.

a Native Dance.
Regarding O'Brien'S statement that
Mcdonald and other officers had de-
meaned themselves disgracefully at a
native dance at San Joaquin. Captain
Mcdonald said: That statement is a
deliberate lie from beginning to end.
Major Cook, whose name is given as
that of one of the officers present on
that occasion. was on duty at the town
of JarO. sixty miles distant, at the
time the dance is said to have oc-
Cured, and L was on duty at MiSoon."
This dance was said TO have Oc
Cured at the home of the preSidente
of the town of San Joaquin. and the
mention of that individual brought to
the mind of Captain Mcdonald an in
cident which had occurred when he
first visited the town. The preSidente
had invited him to breakfast, and after
he had partaken of that meal he be-
came violently ill. a physician pro-
nounced the symptoms to be due to
poisoning, but as some of the mem
bers of the presidente'S family also
were similarly sick it was supposed
Rt the time that the poisoning was ac-
cidental and the matter was dropped.
"I state that as Il reason why could
not have been at the Dance" he said.
and he added that he later had received
evidence that this native official was
contributing to the inSurgent cause.
Captain Mcdonald also fatty con-
tradicted O'Brien's statement to the
effect that he or any other officers of
the company had withheld from the
troops the rations to which they were
entitled. In that connection he called
attention to the fact that the captain
of company never handles the fund
for the purchase of the supplies need
ed by his command. He also declared
that it was not true that the bread re-
ceived for the company had been sold.

bread every day in the week that we

timony. He admitted having seen the

Denies Violation of Women.
Witness said he went to the Phil
ippines in 1899 and had been there
eighteen or twenty months. The one
case named was the only time he ever
saw the water cure administered.
Senator Lodge-Do you know any
thing of the violation of the person of
a Spanish woman by American officers,
as testified to by O'Brien.
Captain McDonald-NO such circunl-
stance as that ever occurred at that
time or any Otner, from the beginning
TO the end of my stay in the Philip
pines. and l have never known of
Spanish woman or any other woman
being violated by an American officer.
Quite n Different Sort of Case.
The witness went on to say that he
supposed the woman that O'Brien had
in mind in this connection was the
wife of a son of the mayor of Igbaras.
4 brother of the woman'S huSand, he
said. had been made Il cripple for life
by MontOur'S band of LadrOnes, and
the body of the husbands father,
when he died. had been dragged about
the streets by Montour himself. This
woman. he said. had given valuable in
