IMPOSSIBLE TO CLOSELY 4P-
 PROACH THE VOLCANO.
Ne Person Has Yet Been Able to Get Within Eight Miles of tho New Crater --SCIentistB Predict Another Eruption Damage Already Done Much Greater Than First Estimated.
Than First Estims 8 led.

1<ingstown, Island of St. Vincent, British West Indies, Tuesday, May 13.- No person has yet been able to ap- proach within eight miles of the new crater of the Soufriere volcano, but judging from what can be seen from a considerable distance the old lake at appeared. The numerous Assures in the mountain sides continue to throw out vapor and the subterranean mur- murings indicate continued unrest During the afternoon of Monday a dense volume of steam and smoke rose from the volcano and the whole island was covered by q peculiar mist. The inhalation of noxious vapors here is in creasng the spread of sicknesses.
 An ambulance corps from the island of Barbados has arrived here.
 Starvation threatens the poorer classes ofthe afflicted district.
 Nearly every remaining negro hut in the Carib country contains dead bodies and the horrible stench is driving peo- pie away Mutilated bodies are tied with ropes and dragged to the trenches where they are buried. Sometimes they are cremated.
 The local government is feeding and sheltering about 5000 refugees.
 Subscriptions for the relief of the suf- ferers are being raised in all the Brit ish West Indian islands.
 Kingstown, Island of St. Vincent, British West Indies Monday, May 12.-- Scientists who have come here from the British island of Trinidad predict an- other volcanic eruption on St. Vincent within short time.
 The damage done to St. Vincent by the volcanic eruption is now known to be considerably greater than was at first estimated. The present uneasiness of the inhabitants of the islands is in creased by the continuous agitation of the volcanic craters. Friday morning, May g, large stones and volcanic dust fell in the neghborhood of Georgetown fort wo hours. A cloud of hot vapor then passed over that port. Two erup- tons of less magnitude than the first occurred Saturday, May 10, and from thu until to-day fire and smoke have been ascending at intervals from the craters.
 Owing to the great heat it is still im- possible to approach the Soufriere vol cano from the leeward side.
 Interesting discoveries have been made in regard to the physical changes on St. Vincent resulting from the erup- tions. Several Assures have been ob- served on La Soufriere. The estate of Walibou has disappeared and has been replaced by an inlet of the sea. Rich mond, an estate formerly adjacent to

DEEERlIINED TO SUICIDE.
Derby Man Invites Death from Railroad
 Train.

Derby, May 15.--James Hissey, aged siXty-f1ve years, a resident of this town was to-day particularly persistent in his attempts to commit suicide Late this afternoon Hssey went out onto the tracks of the Naugatuck division of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad, which are almost exactly in front of his home, and laid down on the ground, putting his neck on the rail, with his head inside. He was discover ed in this position by two neighbors, and they Tagged an approaching freight train. The train was run along slowly to where Hissey lay on the tracks, and he was told to get up. He refused and calmly asked the engineer to kill him. The train crew took charge of the man until the train had passed. Shortly af- terward Hissey was again discovered prostrate on the rails waiting for a freight train due in a few moments. He was arrested and placed in jail

CUBAN REPUBLICAN FETES.
To Open Tonight With Banquet to
 Governor General Wood.

Havana, May 15.-The round of fetes which will mark the inauguration of the new Cuban republic will open to-mor- row night, when banquet in the vast Tacon theater to Governor General Wood and his staff will be rendered by the veterans of the two wars for Cuban independence. This promises to be picturesque affair. The remainder of the programme has not yet been com pleted, but it will include masses in the churches, festivals, displays of fire works, water regattas, processions, banquets, balls and nightly illumino- tions, both before and after the inau- guration ceremonies. Governor Gen eral Wood will give reception at the palace Saturday night. On Sunday commemorative services will be held in the churches on the anniversary of the death of the patriot Jose Marti, and in the afternoon a, big public dinner will be given on the Prado. At this dinner six pensions of $500 each will be pse- scented to six orphans of the country.
 The inauguration ceremonies will be held in the palace at noon Tuesday. They will not be public and will be brief and formal. The judiciary of the is land, the members of congress and the consular corps alone will witness the formal transfer of the government, which will consist in the handing over by Governor-General Wood of a docu- ment, prepared by the United States war department announcing the Amer ican rellnquishment of the reins of gov- ernment and the delivery of President Palma's inaugural address. Then will follow the public spectacle. Six hun- dred dismounted American troopers will salute the American flag as it is lowered and the Cuban flag as it is hoisted to the booming of artillery and the crash of Cuban bands stationed in the Plaza, at Morror Castle and on the Malecon. General Wood, his staff and the cavalry will then be escorted by bands and procession to the harbor. where they will immediately embark and sail for home. General Wood will be transferred at Key West from the Brooklyn to the Kanawha, the govern nent yacht, and will proceed north ward leisurely.

TO CONTINUE COAL STRIKE
MINERS DECIDE TO FIGHT TO
 THE BITTER END.
Result of Vote in the COnveution-A
 Msjority of Over One Hundred for a
 tho History of the Country if Not of the World-Fight May he Carried Into
the World Fi
Bitumfn ous Districts.

Hazleton, Pa, May 15.-The anthra- cite mine workers in convention late this afternoon decided to continue the strike of the 145,000 men against the mine owners and to fight it out to the bitter end. The matter of calling out the engineers, firemen and pump run ners will be decided by the delegates tomorrow. The vote to continue the suspension was as follows:
 Total vote cast, s11; for strike, 46lM, against strike 349% majority for strike, 1111a. President Mitchell, however, in compliance with the rules of the United Mine Workers, announced to the public that the action of the convention was unanimous.
 The step taken to-day by the miners after practically considering the matter for two months has wiped out the un- certainty of the situation, and 1t is freely predicted that the most serious labor struggle in the history of the country, if not the world, is about to begin. That is the view taken by nearly every miner. While the leaders are cautious and will not forecast their actions, it is not unlikely that the min CTS fight will be carried into the bitu- minous coal regions and into other fields of industry. Mine workers for eighteen months have been looking for ward to the strike that is now upon them They have saved their money and are considered to be in better shape to-day for fight than they were in the great strike of 1900. That strug- gle ended in the mine owners giving the men 10 per cent. advance after six weeks suspension. The operators are on record as being unalterably opposed to granting the men any concessions end they have personally informed the mine workers leaders of that fact. The workmen fear that the present fight may mean the destruction of their or ganization because they believe the mine owners are bent more on wrecking their union than they are in opposing the demands for higher wages and shorter work days.
 President Mitchell's advice to the miners was peace and he gave it to them in the plainest and most forceful language. He was ably assisted by President Fahy and Secretary Hartlin of the lower district and Secretary Dempsey of the upper territory. Pres- ident Nichols of the first district was the great champion of the strike advo-

Action in New York-Another Suit in
 Missouri.

Albany. N. Y, May 15.-The effort of the legal department of the state to prevent the western packing houses al legged to be members of a combination whose object is to increase prices and restrict competition, doing business in this state, was inaugurated here to- day, The proceedings took the form of preliminary examination of wit nesses before Former Supreme Justice Landon as referee. No material evil dence was developed because of the fact that the chief witnesses upon whom Attorney General Davies relies to prove his case have also been called in the proceedings begun by Attorney General Knox for the federal govern ment and MT. Knox desires that they be examined by him first. Tomorrow the representatives of the various firms who do business in this state as for eign corporations will be examined be- fore Justice Chester D. Latters Cham bers in this city. This means that two separate and distinct proceedings have been begun by Attorney General Da- vies and he said tonight that he ex- pected if one failed by reason of in- junction or otherwise the other would continue.
 Jefferson City, Mo-, May 15.-Attorney General Crow tonight instituted an custer suit in the supreme court against the Swartzchild & Sulzer Packing Co, charging the firm with being mem Der of the alleged Beef Trust. This was left out of the proceed ings last week on the belief that it was a co-partnership and not corporation.

CANAL AGREEMENTS MADE
WITH CENTRAL
 AMERICAN STATES.
Concluded by Secretary Hay With Colombia, Nicaragua and Costa Ricn- Sent to the Senate-Acqutrsme of Necessary Rights to Construct a Canal Along Either Route.

Washington, May 15.-The negotia- tions between Secretary Hay and the ministers from Colombia, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. looking to the ac- quirement of the necessary rights for the construction by the United States government of either the Panama or the Nicaragua canal have at last been concluded and the agreements were sent to the senate this afternoon. They are engagements to enter into treaty relations with the United States upon the basis therein stated after congress president shall have been duly author ized. In view of the department, there ing, treaties, but in the view of the other negotiations they are practically conventions of a treaty character and are so regarded by them.
 The draft treaty or agreement sub mitted by MT. Corea, the Nicaraguan minister, to-day, was a revision of a protocol drawn up by Secretary Hay. This document embodied the views of a number of senators, as to what con- sessions Nicaragua should make in the canal matter.
 The Nicaraguan agreement provides for the lease of a strip of land which shall be ten miles wide while canal is in course of construction, and after ward shortened to six miles. The price stipulated is $6,000,000, together with an annuity of $25,000, nominal sum in- tended merely to serve as a material re- hinder of Nicaragua's sovereignty over the leased land.
 The treaty empowers the United States to use the civil police for to pre- serve peace and good order within the belt No provision, it is stated, is made for the judicial administration over the canal belt.
 In case the canal is in time of war threatened by any government the United States is given full power to send either her military or naval forces, or both, into the canal belt to protect 1t and to fulfill the guarantee of sover- eighty over the belt which this govern ment would warrant to both Nicaragua and Costa Rico.

CROKER SPEAKS FROM AF4R.
Thinks Ex.Mayor Van Wyck the Man
 to Lead Tammany.

London, May 15.-In an interview at Vantage to-day Richard Croker said that if he was In New York he would certainly vote for Robert A. Van Wyck as grand sachem of Tammany Hall and that MT. Van Wyck, in his opinion, was as fine a man as ever drew breath and a good mayor MT. Croker said that Thomas L. Feitner had been his life long friend but that he had been grand sachem many times. in fact for too long a time.
 Michael Keenan, John Fox, John J. Scannell John w. Keller and Randolph Guggenheimer were all his good friends, he said, but in voting for MT. Van Wyck they had acted upon their own responsibility. MT. Croker said he saw saw his own friends split up, some of them voting for MT. Van Wyck and others for Feitner.
 He exressed himself as very sorry that Lewis Nixon had resigned as chairman of the finance committee. He said he had given no orders but that he had left the mater entirely to the leaders to decide. MT. Croker said he had cabled MT. Nixon last "Wednesday to do just as he pleased and that Eff MT. Nixon could not control them it was not my fault
 MT. Croker explained that to begin with he did not know until Wednesday that MT. Van Wyck was candidate for the grand sachem. While MT. Van Wyck was mayor of New York, MT. Croker said, he had appointed Keenan, Fox, Scannell, Keller and Guggen- heimer to office and that they were all under obligation to him. MT. Croker expressed also his belief that if MT. Feitner thought that MT. Van Wyck wanted to be grand sachem, the would resign in his favor.
 MT. Croker said he had no inteitnon of returning to New York nj August and that he could not say when he would go back.
