force Demands.
Denver, Nov. 10.-More than 10000
coal miners in Colorado went on
strike during the day for an eight

fields, 1000 in the northern coal fields
and 1900 in Fremont county. One
hundred mines have been closed down.
A few Independent properties in the
northern coal fields and elsewhere will
not stop work since the operators
have agreed to concede the eight-hour
day and also to increase wages. Few
er than 1000 miners will remain at
work, according to reports from the
affected regions The announcement
comes that 900 men have gone out in
Colfax county, New Mexico. The
other miners in that territory are now
negotiating with the mine owners.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron, the
Victor Fuel and the Northern Coal
and Coke companies are the largest
producers. Nearly all their property
has been tied up by the action of the
miners. They are, however, making
efforts to continue operations under
the protection of a strong guard.
There are about 40 coal mines In
Colorado, with an output of some
100000 tons of coal and about 1,000,-
900 tons of coke a year.

Colon, Nov. 1.-THE avoidance of
bloodshed in Colon following the
proclamation of the independence of
the isthmus, the maintenance of per-

Colombian troops from the city are
looked upon as in great part due to
the courage and ability displayed by

tact of Colonel Shaler, superintendent
of Panama railroad. Colonel Black of
the United States engineer corps, and

and military governor of Colon, also
rendered signal service during the
critical situation which found it's
