Kingston. Jam, Nov. 4.-The British
steamer Trent arrived here yesterday
from Colon, Colombia. She brings re-
ports that the Colombian rebels are
still to be seer in the vicinity OF the
isthmus and that they occasionally ap:
near in the towns along the railroad
line.
Considerable indignation is felt by
the Colombians because American
guards are still maintained on the line.
officials of the Colombian government
claim that what they term the inter-
ference OF the Americans prevents
them from dealing effectively with the
rebels, who occupy certain towns
where they collect taxes and make
seizures of property. The revolution
lists, in their turn, claim that the pres
ence of the Americans prevents them
from bringing about a final coup In
the revolution. There is much suffer
ing on the isthmus and the position OF
civilians there
Is Becoming intolerable.
The steamer Libertador, which was
formerly in the service of the Ven
ezuelan revolutionists and which has
been acquired by the Colombian gov
eminent and named by 1t the Presi-
dente Marroquin, is reported to be
coming from Carthagena to Kingston,
where she will undergo extensive re-
pairs. She will be used by Colombia
as a gunboat. Representatives OF
Colombia have been sent to Port OF
Spain, Trinidad, to procure another
gunboat for their government.
1t is reported that the terms OF set
Element between the revolutionists and
the Colombian government are at pres
ent under consideration, and 1t is be-
lieved that those terms provide for an
armistice of ninety days, during which
time a joint commission composed OF
members of the governmental and rev.
clutionary parties are to frame a new
constitution which is to give equal
rights to al! persons. When the Trent
left Colon last Friday 1t was consid-
cred doubtful whether the terms of
the proposed settlement would be
agreed to.

the miners and their employers was
taken yesterday when 1t was an

Are Perfectly Agreed,
however, with the decision OF the COM
mission. The strike has been OFF on J
one week, and most of the men have
not worked more than four or five
days. The commissioners spent h
entire day in continuing their inspec-
ton of the mines and the mining re-
gion about Scranton. The commits
sion will spend Saturday in the vicin-
ity of Wilkesbarre, returning here in
the evening.
II is possible that the commission
may make a preliminary report on
three principal strike questions. They
are the increase IN wages, a shorter
work day and the weighing of coal.
After these have been decided the
commission can take up all other ques-
lions without undue haste. 1t is
known the commissioners have this
feature under consideration, and it is
very likely a preliminary report will
be made.
The commission has not yet decided
when it shall begin taking testimony.

shaft, Foreman Mulroy was the first
to reach the surface, a distance of
fifty feet, and gave the alarm. George
