Secretary Moody also reviews Admiral Sampsons work during the times of peace as teacher, administrator, organizer and commander on shore and at sea.
 The order further refers to the letter sent by President Mckinley to the ad- miral after the war with Spain in which the late chief executive speaks in the highest terms of the effectiveness of Admiral Sampsons plans while comman- der of the Atlantic naval forces.
 Tn conclusion the secretary says
 "As mark of respect to his memory flags of the navy yards stations and vessels in commission will be displayed at half mast from sunrise to sunset, and thirteen guns will be fired at noon from the navy yards and stations on the day after the receipt of this order.

GUATEMALA SHOCKED.
For Nearly Week Earthquakes Have
 Been Injuring Houses.

Guatemala. City, Republic of Guate- mala, April 24-For nearly week earth- quakes have been tumbling down cities and villages on the western slope of the Sierras in this republic.
 On the night of April IS, at the capital, a binding flash of lightning followed by thunder storm and torrents of rain, all in the space of few minutes, caused the people in the streets to rush for shelter. In an instant. however the earthquake was upon them. Rushing frantically into the darkness and through flooded streets, anywhere from the straining rafters and cracking walls, ran the multitude, cry- ing, praying and few trying to sing ths Salve Regina.
 The following shocks were less severe. and by l o'clock many of the inhabitants were wandering about examining the walls of the Cathedral of Santa Teresa, Rekeloction and other churches which were more or less damaged.

[. & N. LABORERS
 ATTACK ENGINEERS
PARTY OF SOUTHERN RAILWAY ENGINEERS HAD DIRT THROWN
 ON THEM BY L. G N. LABORERS. RESULT OF RAILROAD RIVALRY.

Knoxville, May s.-A special from Jel- lico, Tenn, says
 The crisis between the Louisville and Nashville and the Southern Railway for possession of the rights of way in the Mingo coal fields Is expected tonight or tomorrow. The 300 men brought by the Louisville and Nashville last night were this morning dispatched to Clear Fork valley, between Mingo and Log moun- tains. They carried twenty-five dirt carts, twelve wagons, half hundred mules and considerable camp equipment. Simultaneously, 1t is understood, a wagon train of men and wagons for the South ern Railways work left Middlesboro. coming down Tackerts creek to Clear Fork valley.
 Already the Southern Railway has two camps in the valley, one for laborers and one for engineers. The Louisville and Nashville has six camps.
 The Southern engineering party, headed by Charles Coffee of Knoxville, had words with a Louisville and Nashville "possession" party. it Is said. Coffee's psrty, it is claimed, passed over ground which a Louisville and Nashville pos session" force was working, and Coffee's men ordered the laborers to stop work until they passed but the laborers re- fused and threw dirt on CoffeeS party. The incident, however, was speedily closed, as the distance involved was only about fifty feet.
 Reports of fusillades and shootings are untrue There has been no bloodshed.
 Ed D. Condon, a Knoxville contractor. will go to work tomorrow on constructing the Louisville and Nashville road from the 'Narrows" to the main line. about three miles, It is about four miles through the "Narrows."
 A special from Jellico, Tenn, at mid night says that at the close of operations today it is evident that the crisis in the hercluean struggle for the Clear Fork coal fields, between the Louisville and Nashville and Southern railroads, is rap idly approaching, and there Is no dis guising the fact that there may be seri- ous trouble in the Jellico district. Reports from Jellico are to the effect that both sides are armed and local hardware men admit that they have shipped arms, but not in alarming quantities. as they express 1t.

 It is believed here that means of set ting the question involved without re- sorting to a strike has been arrived at.
 The afternoon session of the miners convention lasted less than half an hour. Up to 2 o'clock no answers had been re- ceived from the operators on the proposal to arbitrate and the meeting was ad- journed until tom orrow
 It is the prevailing opinion here that unless the operators agree to arbitration or make counter propositions, which will contain substantial concession, the com mittee of miners will declare a strike to- morrow.
