SINK FIRMIN'S BOAT
GERMAN WARsHiP SENDS CRETE.
A-PLEkRoT TO BOTTOM.
Admiral killek 10 Given Fifteen Min.
utes to Surrender and Remove His
Men, After Which Thirty Shells
Shatter Craft to Pieces.

Port au Prince, Sept. 8.-The gun
boat Crete-a-Pierrot, which was In
tho service of the Firminist party,
has been sunk at the entrance of the
harbor OF Gonaives by the German,
Crete-a-Pierrot left her before she
went down.
The German gunboat Panther ar
rived here Sept. S, and received in.
structions from the German govern.
ment to capture the Firminist gun
boat Crete-a-P Pierrot. She left imme-
diately for Gonaives, the seat of the
Firmlnist government The Panther
found the Crete-a-Perrot in the harbor
of Gonaives and the commander of the
German gunboat informed Admiral
killick of the Crete-a-Pierrot that he
must remove his crew and surrender
his vessel in five minutes. Admiral
Killick asked that this time be ex-
tended to fifteen minutes. This re-
quest was granted on the condition
that the arms and ammunition on
board the Crete-a-Plerrot should be
abandoned when her crew left her.
The crew of the Crete-a-Pierrot left
that vessel amid great disorder. At
the end of fifteen minutes the Panther
sent small boat carrying an officer
and twenty sailors, who were to take
possession of the Firminist gunboar.
When these men had arrived at
point about thirty yards from the
Crete-a-Pierrot flames were seen to
break out on board Of her. She had
been fired by her crew before they
left her. The Panther then fired on
the Crete-a-Pierrot until she was com
pletely immersed. Thirty shots all
told were fired
There is much feeling here against
the Firminists, and their cause is con-
sidered to be bad one. Soldiers are
leaving here to attack st. Marc.

UNCLE SAM WILL AWAIT REPORT
Monroe Doctrine Does Not Figure in
Haytien Trouble.

Washington, Sept. S.-The destruc
tion of the Crete-a-Pierrot without
doubt will be made tee subject of an
official report to this government by
United States Minister Powell, who is
now at Port au Prince. Pending the
receipt of that report there is in the
opinion of the officials here who have
kept in touch with affairs little likeil-
hood of any action by the state depart
ment, and. indeed, judging from the
character of the instructions trans
mitted through the navy department
to Commander McCrea OF the Machias,
there will be little disposition to ques-
tion the justice of the treatment ac-
corded Admiral Killick. The United
States naval officer was specially in
structed to prevent interference with
commerce and in the execution of
those orders he was obliged to warn
the rebel admiral that he must not
search foreign shipping, else the
Machias would use her force against
him. The threat was effectual only
SO long as the Machias remained in
Haytien waters, and as soon as she
headed northward Killick held up the
German steamer Markomannia and
seized her cargo of arms.
While the state department has not
adopted the German view that Killick
was pirate. it has. on the basis or
its own instructions to Commander
McCrea. never admitted his right to
interfere with foreign shipping. 1t.
however. did entertain a doubt as to
whether killick was not privileged to
operate as he did in the case of the
MarkomGnnia. provided the seizure
was made within the three mile limit,
and SO within Haytien waters.
However, any question that might
arise as to the legality of the action
of the commander of the Panther Is
one that the state department proba.
bly, will regard as solely between the
governments of Germany and of Haytl,
and as the latter government already
has denounced Killick as a pirate,
and had besought Commander McCrea
to seize his ship--the "Crete'-it is
certain that it Will make no issue In
this matter. AS there has been no at.
tempt on the part of the German com.
mander to seize any Haytien port. of
course the Monroe doctrine cannot be
regarded as involved in this incident.
which. after all. in the opinion of Off
cials. may tend to speedy settlement
OF the internecine troubles of Haytl.

BERT PROBABLY DEFEATED.

Reported That insurgents Have Won
Decisive Victory at Aqua -Dulce.
Panama. Colombia. Sept S.-The
government general, Morales Berti,
who has been besieged by the insur-
gent forces under General Herrera at
Aqua Dulce has probably been defeat
ed. The government gunboats re-
turned here last night from an explor-
ing expedition officers of the expe-
dition report having landed at Yegua-
ta, where the insurgent garrison was
defeated after a slight skirmish. A
few insurgent prisoners were cap
tured and it is from these men that
the news of the governments defeat
at Aqua Dulce has been obtained.
General Berti had been besieged since
July 2S. The troops of his command
must have suffered terribly from lack
of supplies during the last days of the
siege and it is said they were COM
PEELED to eat horse flesh. Up to Aug.
80 General Berti had not surrendered
but since that date he is believed
either to have done so or to have
forced his way out of Aqua Dulce.
General Berti's brave and heroic de-
fense of Aqua Dulce has been ad-
mired. even by the insurgents. as one
of the most brilliant pages in the his
tory of the present revolution.

Deadwood and Lead the Next Meet

Butte, Mont, Sept. C.-Judge ]. Fl.
Richards Of Boise, Ida, was elected
president of the International Min
Ing congress. Irwin e. Mahon was
reelected secretary. Deadwood and
Lead. s. D., were selected for the
next meeting places of the mining
congress In 1903.
Much excitement was injected into
yesterdays session. An effort has
been made by a numerous faction
OF the congress to reorganize 1t into
a new body, having for its objects
different lines of effort than those
along which the old congress has
been working. Among these new
lines were the changing of its namo
and scope. from an International to
an American basis and the injection
of more commercial and less con
gressional feature into the association
The special committee on organiza-
tion spent part of the night in an ef-
fort to mollify and harmoniza all fac.
tions and filed unanimous report,
which Professor Holmes, in present
ing, explained in detail
Mrs. Ella Knowles Haskell of Mon.
tana led the fight against the pro-
posed reorganization plan. While ap-
parently slightly in the minority, her
skill as a parliamentarian and debat.
er served to block all efforts at con.
sideration of the committees report
and was productive of much bitter.
ness upon both sides. It is freely
stated that new organization may
result, whatever the action of the
congress on the report may be.

eIoHTEEa-A WEEK OF STRIKE.
Lines Between Miner and Operator
Are Still Tightly Drawn. 4


Philadelphia, Sept. 8.-The mine
workers strike entered upon it's.
eighteenth week today. with the lines
between the miner and operator drawn
almost as tightly as when the suspen
sion was inaugurated on May H.
There were many predictions that the
contest would be over by the first
week in September, but If the mem.
bers Of the union are to be believed
the struggle will continue for months,
unless the coal companies grant con.
cessions
Some Of the operators looked for
serious break in the ranks of the men
weeks ago and admit that they are
surprised a. the way the strikers arc
holding out. Rumors are current that
the strike will be ended this month.
President Mitchell maintains ne
knows nothing of possible early end.
ing of the trouble. The only move
now in contemplation is the sugges.
ton that Governor Stone call an es,.
ira session of the legislature for tho
purpose of passing law that would
have the effect of amicably and speed
lily ending the deadlock
Last week more coal left the mining
region than in any previous week
have been made by mining officials

ing days aggregated 100000 tons
The normal weekly output is little
more than 100000 tons.

STRONG POLICY is PURSUED,
Vigorous Measures Adopted by Com
mander McCrea in Hsyti.


Washington, Sept. 6.-The navy de
partment has received from Com
mander McCrea of the Machias a re
port. under date of Cape Haytien,
setting out in detail the steps taken
by that official to prevent interfer
ence with the worlds commerce as
a result of the bitter insurrectionary
struggle now in progress in Haytien
waters.
Commander McCrea was. from the
nature of the case. obliged to move
without opportunity to consult the
state or navy departments. but it is
stated that his vigorous measures are
thoroughly approved. II appears
from the commanders report that he
took under his charge the commerce
of nearly all the European countries.
in addition to that of his own.
His attitude toYard Admiral XII
lick. the insurgent commander, as re
vealed in the report. is significant. as
indicating the adoption OF a stronger
policy than has been pursued hereto
fore in the treatment of South and
Central American revolutions. which
injuriously affect the commerce of the
world While not interfering in the
least with the revolutionists, right to
fight. he took firm stand against any
interference with foreign interests.
