Chicago. May 15.-Esther Dowie,

a student at the University Of Chica-

tendants were excluded from the room
and Dowie sank to his knees in prayer.
His supplications lasted all day. He re-
fused to cease even to take nourisl1-

SPAIN'S NEW ERA.
National Energy Aroused as Result
of The War.

Madrid, May 15.-"The American war
was one of the most unjust in history,
but it is bearing good fruit for SPAIN
declared the reactionary deputy, Ro-
nero Robledo, at a political meeting
last night. Spain has discovered how
far she is behind the times. and has also
perceived reasons for going to work to
find a remedy" Robledo's Introductory
remarks were greeted with Kisses and
groans, but hundreds of the progressive
party cheered the sentiment. The coun-
try is waking up, whatever the cause
may be.
Other speakers at the meeting. which
was held under the auspices of the So
ciety of New Spain, declared that Spain
would soon be on a level with other
modern civilizations, from business
standpoint, the Spaniards having finally
learned that they really must work IN
order to live. They also said that IL
was necessary to admit however, re-
luctantly, that the war with the United
States was the cause of this rev1vlf1-

MITCHELL HAS A Plan
President of the Mine Workers
Submits His Report to the
Convention.
Action OF the Miners Not Yet
Made Known to the
Public.
Strike Sentiment Is Still Strong,
But Is Said to Be
Waning.

Hazleton, Pa, May 15.-The conven-
called to decide the matter of making
permanent the present suspension OF
work in the hard coal field, resumed
its session at nine this morning. The
question was not reached at yesterdays
session, owing to the inability Of the
credentials committee to complete lts
work. The committee made its final
report this morning and after few
unimportant matters had been disposed
troduced by President Mitchell. This
was in the form of an exhaustive re-
port of his negotiations with the civic
federation and the president Of the
coal companies.
The same impenetrable veil OF Sc
crecy surrounds the proceedings of the
convention today and no forecast of
the result can be made with any de-
gree of accuracy. The belief born
with an Interview with President
Mitchell yesterday that he has a def
mite plan that will help the miners
in their fight is stronger than ever
today and many delegates hope the
national president will bs able to lead
them out of the difficulty. Strike SEN
timent is still strong, but it can not
be said that it is as strong as it was
yesterday. Those who advocate per-
manent suspension, if no concessions
are granted by operators. are contins
uing their campaign trying to win
votes for a strike. One of them said
today I'VE must work out our own
salvation. 1t is strike now or never
We have delayed it long enough and
we can not now turn back"
1t was reported this morning that
President Fahy, of district No 8, who
was said to be against strike, has
finally decided to stop pleading for
peace and let the miners do as they
please. President Fahy's position, it is
said, has met with considerable opposi :
ton in his district.
President Mitchell reiterated today
that he would advise the miners what
course to pursue when the proper time
comes. He declined to indicate wheth-
er this advice would be in the nature
OF welllaid plan, saying he would
not like to give his ideas to the news
papers in advance of their presentation
to the convention.
The convention took recess at noon.
No information was given out relative

After the delegates had reassembled

in favor of strike. None of the ma

PLAN GREAT GAME PRESERVE.
English Syndicate Buys Tract in Which
Wild Animals Abound.

Phoenix, Ariz., May 15.-An English
syndicate, headed by Lord Thurlows
which recently purchased the Baca land
grant in Yavapal county, is planning
the establishment there of an immense
game preserve.
The grant is very heavily timbered
and the country is the most picturesque
in Arizona, abounding in wild game of
of all kinds.
The wild hog, or peccary, roams thru
the forests in thousands, and there as
an abundance of deer and wild turkey.
while mountain lions and sometimes
the cinnamon and black bear are found.
1t is Lord Thurlow's intention to es-
tablish such game preserve as eK-
listed in the early days of England, and
establish guards who will allow no
hunting on the grant except by the
owners or their friends.
Lord Thurlow is now en- route to
London, and intends next winter to
bring over a large party of sportsmen.

Cruiser Cincinnati Arrives.

Fort de France, May 1o.-The cruiser
Cincinnati arrived here yesterday ana
Commander Mclean at once dispatched
Lieutenant Mccormick, on the naVal
tug Potomac, TO the island of st. Vim
cent to ascertain the needs OF the sur
vivors of the recent disasters there. He
informed Consul Ayme that, if neces-
sary, the Cincinnati would go to st.
Vincent.
Business in Fort de France is at a
standstill. The city and it's environs
are crowded with refugees, all of whom
must be fed. The wharves are already
piled with tons of provisions and sup.
plies, but all that has been brought SO
far is hardly drop in the bucket con-
pared with the great needs OF an lsiano
full of famishing people.
Americans here complain that the
French soldiers are doing nothing. But
the soldiers are protecting the supplies
already beginning to arrive here. But
for this riot would run rampant in this
part of the island.
The military and civil hospitals are
filled with mer, women anc children
who had been burned by the eruptions.
Their appearance was horrible and ap-
palling The flesh had been burned
from their bodies, and their faces were
beyond recognition. Some of the bodies
were charred and the bones exposed.
1t is now comparatively easy to visit
ST. Pierre, where the work Of burning
the dead bodies of the victims is stead
lily proceeding.
The destruction there is appalling
The streets are two feet deep in ashes
and cinders. which cover thousands OF
dead bodies, scorched black and shiny
as if they had been plunged into boiling
pitch. Many of the dead were never
touched by the volcanic fire and some
of the houses and woodwork destroyed
show no signs of burning.
At Moudlage, in the southwestern
rortion of st. Pierre, the town hall is
still standing as high as the first story,
while at the fort, in the northwestern
part of st. Pierre, the most massive
stone work is calcined.
The church tower. built by the Jes-
uits two centuries ago of solid mason
work, is now like a hugh heap of old
metal.

Nebraska Peoples Fears Quieted.

Ponca, Neb., May 15.-The fear en-.
tertained that there would be an erup-
ton of Mount Iona,, located near this
town, because of the renewed issuing
of noxious gases and smoke, has qui-
eted down. Altho the gases continue
to pour out, no sounds have been
heard since Tuesday morning.
The news of the Martinique disaster
caused some alarm, and few families
were considering the advisability of
moving away, but have been dissuaded
from doing so.
The real cause Of the disturbance
in the hill has never been known, but
is supposed to be caused by an UNDER
lying formation of limestone becoming
heated by contact with moisture.

nothing to it but technicalities
sprinkled with some question as to who
has been doing the lying. 1t is a case
from Adair county, where two persons
were going to put down a sidewalk or
do some other little thing and the town
asked for an injunction to prevent 1t.
There was the temporary order, the
hearing. taking 1t under sement,
the denial of the injunction appeal
and restraining order from 3; upreme

Judge Applegate had denied in1unc-
tion and before his decisio q as filed,

Judge Gamble fined the me : apiece
for contempt of Applegatt rder OF
contempt of the supreme q t order.
The chief question at issu q s when
the temporary restraining = er was
denied. The attorney for tn, endants
had talked with Judge Applegate at his
home over the long distance telephone
and the Judge had told him the injunc-
ton was denied and the order would be
Immediately forwarded to the clerk.
Immediately and before the order could
get there or the town Of Greenneld take
an appeal, the defendants went ahead
with the work they We're doing. The
question is whether an injunction can
be dissolved over a long distance tele-
phone or is it necessary to wait and do
it by mail in the good old way. There
were also other questions in the case
equally trivial, but good lawyers have
had printed many pages of argument
and evidence and have spent much
fiY,,o arp11inp the entire case.
In regard to the position of R. w.
Clayton. of Oskaloosa, on the repub-
Iican state committee, it is learned here
that he expects to be back in Iowa
within a few months to remain. He is
now holding a federal position in
Washington. but it is the agreement
that he will be transferred to position
that will bring him back to Iowa and
he will still remain on the government
pay rolls. In this case he will be quite
as we'll able to take care of the work
of the central committee as before.
