Washington, March 25.-The birth
day of a republic was decided upon at
the white house Monday night. At
dinner President Roosevelt, on behalf
of the United States, and Senior Es-
trada Palma, the president-elect of
Cuba, agreed upon May 20 as the date

THE MINERS.
Numerous Resolutions Are Adopted
by the Convention in Session
at ShamOkin.

Shamokin, Pa, March 21.-The most
important feature of Thursdays ses-
sion of the convention of districts Nos.
i, z and 9, United Mine Workers of
America, was the adoption at the after
noon session of several resolutions.
These were the result of various al
legged grievances announced in the con-
vention by the different delegations,
and were presented by the committee
on resolutions. Most of them were
of sectional, rather than general inter-
est, but their tone was not less en-
phatic. The first resolution adopted
demanded an eight-hour working day
in all the collieries of the anthracite
region. Others were adopted as fol-
lows:
Demanding the recognition of mine COM
mittees by operators in the adjustment of
disputes resulting in local strikes; declar-
ing opposition to working with men not
members of the mine workers union; ia
voring arbitration of trade disputes; pro-
viding for systematic examination OF
working cards; requesting the state bureau
of mines and mining to print not less than
5000 copies of the mining laws in the Eng
lish language for distribution among the
mine workers; condemning the system of
blacklisting by companies of discharged
employees.
Shamollin, Pa, March 25.-Unless
the efforts of the Civic Federation
are effective with the coal operators
it is more than likely that repeti-
ton of the struggle of 1900 will occur
in the anthracite region. In that
year 100000 employees of the anthra
cite mines were on strike for six
weeks. The convention Monday of
districts Nos. 1, and 9, United Mine
workers of America, which districts
comprise the entire anthracite field,
made q provisional strike declaration,
leaving the date to be decided by the
executive boards of the three dis
tricts. This was practically the last
official act of the delegates, and the
convention adjourned sine die at four
o'clock Monday afternoon

Who Assaulted Aged Lady
at La Junta, Col.

La Junta, Col, March 26.-W. II. Wal
lace, a negro sleeping car porter, was
lynched at eight o'clock Tuesday night
in a corner of the courthouse square,
being hung to an electric pole by a
bowling mob of 1000 people who had
been wildly hunting for him all day.
After the hanging the body of the
negro was riddled with bullets. Wal
lace had been kept out of town all day
by Sheriff Farr in an attempt to save
him from the mob. The prisoner
made no resistance to the lynching and
died protesting his innocence.
At late hour the body had not been
taken down. The coroner lives at
ROCKFORD. Sheriff Farr said that
Wallace steadfastly maintained his in
nocence, but the police declare that
when they arrested him in his car
there was blood and gray hairs on his
clothing and other evidence which sat
lsfied them he was the guilty man.
Mrs. Henrietta II. Miller, gray
haired woman aged CT, going from Los
Angeles, Cal, to Denver to visit rela-
tlves, was brutally assaulted in the
Santa Fe railroad yards here Monday
night by Wallace, a porter on Pull
man car running between Denver and
La Junta. After leaving the Chicago
limited train here Mrs. Miller asked
Wallace, whom she met on the sta
ton platform, where the Denver Sleep
er was. The man offered to conduct
her to the car. After going with him
considerable distance Mrs. Miller be-
came suspicious and started to return
to the station. She was then knocked
down by blow on the head, and after
struggle with her assailant was
choked into insensibility. When she
regained consciousness about an hour
later she crawled back to the station
and gave an account of the assault and
description of her assailant. Wal
lace was arrested in the ear of which
he had charge. He was identified by
Mrs. Miller, whose condition is critical.

MILES DENoUNcEs ARMY BILL.
General Uses Strong Terms and
Threatens to Resign If 1t Passes
Statements Cause Interest.

Washington, March 21.-Gen. Nelson
A. Miles Thursday told the senate COM
mittee on military affairs that if the
bill introduced by Senator Hawley at
the instance of the war department.
for the organization of general staff
Tor the army should become a law he
would decline to longer hold his COM
mission. The reason he gave for the
statement is that the bill is utterly
subversive of the interests of the mill
tafy establishment, and he said he
would not be party to such a proceed
ing to the extent of even continuing to
hold the place.
The news of Gen. Miles statements
before the military committee of the
senate excited great interest at the
war department, and it is thought he
has exposed himself to military dis
cipline by his statements.
Washington, March 22.-The state
ments made Thursday by Gen. Miles
before the senate committee on mil
ltary affairs We're discussed by the
president Friday with a number of
NAA' SoiiSA .. 1ASIG is llltlc uOuDU
that these statements will ultimate
ly lead to Gen. Miles retirement by
the president. In discussing the
matter Friday with his callers,
among whom were senators and rep
resentatives, the president took the
position that the lieutenant general
of the army should entertain toward
his superiors the same respect that
he would expect and demand from
his subordinates.
No action will be taken by the presi-
dent until he reads the testimony
taken by the committee.
Gen. Miles said on Friday:
The newspapers have misquoted my
statements before the committee. 1 did
not say l would resign from the army if
the Root bill became law. l did state to
one of the senators that 1 might as we'll
go on the retired list If the measure under
consideration We're enacted by congress.
This is quite different from saying that l
would resign. have no intention to ask
for retirement. I do not expect to be
forced to make such a request. That is
something l hear of periodically, but do
not fear such an action merely because I
expressed my views on pending legislation
to congressional committee at its re-
quest. There is no crime in this, and shall
continue to exercise what I believe my
right, and discharge what feel to be my
duty, whenever the occasion presents it.
self I did not make the foolish statement
which has been attributed to me-a sort
OF boast that could name the favorites of
the president and the adjutant general who
would be appointed under this new bill"

Cabinet Talks of Cuba.

Washington, March 26.-Ihe Cuban
question occupied nearly the entire
time of the cabinet meeting Tuesday,
the details of the transfer of the is
land to the new government being
considered at great length. 1t is the
desire of the administration to pro-
vide as fully as possible for the alb
solute and complete turning over Of
the government as soon as the Cuban
flag is raised.
Considerable time was taken up in
reading in full the instructions given
Governor General Wood for the with
drawal of United States sovereignty.
This government is anxious to main
tain the big million-dollar dry dock at
Havana, to establish and maintain one
or two naval stations, to continue the
system of weather stations which al
ready have proved of great efficacy in
giving ample warning of storms APP
preaching the United States, and vice
versa, and other important meteor
illogical work, but these details, while
fully discussed, are matters subject to
negotiation and discussion between
the representatives of this govern
ment and the Cuban representatives
who have been in conference here dur
ing the day. The postal service is one
important branch whose transition in
to absolute control of the Cubans will
occasion no difficulty. The chain of
post offices now in operation are in
public buildings belonging to Cuba,
and the postal service of this govern
ment has no property worth mention
ing on the island. The postmasters,
except possibly at Santiago, are ma
tives, and there will therefore be no oc-
casion for changes in thepersonnel I'M
less the new Cuban government has
reasons for them not now ANTICIPATED.
