OIL STEAMER BURNS AT SEA.
Crew Thought to Have Been Rescued
by Passing Vessel.

Charleston, S. c., March 24.-The
unknown steamer reported afire yes
terday by the crew of.the Oregon Inlet
life saving station in North Carolina
was identified as the oil steamer Ma
jor Barrett, bound from Sabine Pass,
Tex, to New York. 1t is believed some
passing vessel rescued the crew of the
fire-stricken ship. though no definite
information to this effect has been re-
ceived here. The news of the fate of
the Major Barrett was brought here
by Captain Jonathan of the steam
ship Navahoe, who reported that on
the 22nd, while between Hatteras and
Bodis island, N. c., he passed the
steamer Major Barrett, which was on
fire. He cruised around the steamer,
but saw no sign of life. The sea was
smooth and as two empty boats were
adrift in the vicinity, 1t is believed the
crew were rescued and the boats then
abandoned

nue. Obligations.

Washington, March 26.-Secretary
Root yesterday afternoon made public
his order to General Wood directing
him to turn over the control and gov
eminent of Cuba to its people on Nav
20 next. The order requires the Gu
pan government to assume all treaty
obl1gat1ons and directs General Wood
to continue a small artillery force to
avoid leaving the island and city de-
tenseless until the Cuban government
Shall have organized it's own
force. General Wood also is directed
to convene the Cuban congress before
May 20. He also is directed to con-
suit with President-elect Palma, and
substitute such persons as he shall de-
sire for those now holding Official po-
sitions in Cuba
Ihe change of date was made with
the full approval of President-elect
Palma. This date should be memor-
able one in Cuban history, for it will
not only mark the acquisition of full
independence, but will be the Cuban
Inauguration day, it having been de-
termined that President Palma shall
be inaugurated on the same day that
American control of the island ceases.
All but the smallest details of the
change in Cuba have been planned,
and these remaining details were un-
der adjustment at a meeting held at
the war department, yesterday. Be-
sides Secretary Root, President Palma
and Senors Tamaya and Quesada, Cen
eral Wood attended.
Besides the final selection of May
~ as Cuban independence day two
other important conclusions were
reached. The first was that General
Wood should Immediately upon his re-
turn to Cuba issue a call convening
the first Cuban congress in session on
May 15, in order that the body might
employ the ten days following that
date in supplying any legislation nee
essary to the assumption of full pow
ers in the island.
The other conclusion was that there
should be no halfway evacuation of
the island. The present disposition
is to move the entire United States
contingent. civil and military, away
trQpS.the Island not -.eJsar -Jaasxtpe~r-
diers in any of the camps. This, how
ever, does not apply to the coast de-
fenses at several points in the island.
These will be garrisoned by United
States troops, under command of Col
onel Haskin.

Expect Strike at Lowell.

Shamokin, Pa, March 25.-Unless
the efforts of the Civic Federation are
effective with the coal operators it is
more than likely that repetition OF
the struggle of 1900 will occur in the
anthracite region. In that year 14O,-
600 employees of the anthracite mines
were on strike for six weeks. The
convention yesterday of districts /, Z
and 8, United Mine Workers, which
districts comprise the entire anthra-
cite field, made a provisional strike
declaration, leaving the date to be de-
cided by the executive boards of the
three districts. This was practically
the last official act of the delegates
and the convention adjourned sine die
The adoption of the resolution con-
tanning the ultimatum of the mine
workers was followed by a scene of
wild enthusiasm and the opera house
rang with the acclamations of the dele
gates, who, with lusty cheers, approved
the work of the special resolutions
dence in President Mitchell The con-
vention at it's session showed a dis
position to insist on the adjustment
OF the mine workers grievances, but
the delegates were willing to relin-
quish the question of recognition pro-
viding other more important conces-
slons were graLted. This fact is evil
denced in the resolution adopted,
which states, as the chief demands, a
shorter work day, a minimum day
wage scale. a, uniform increase in
wages and the weighing of coal wher-
ever practicable.
The Civic Federation is regarded
by the delegates as the last hope of
the mine workers in their demands
for improved conditions and the gravity
of the situation is manifested in the
words of President Mitchell: "I am
free to say that to me strike seems
imminent"
The district executive boards met
last night to select the IA delegates.

luton, are to comprise the committee.

Should strike occur over 144,000
