STRIKERS ISSUE STATEMENT.
Cripple Creek Miners Say No Trouble viii
Occur in That Camp.

Cripple Creek, Colo, Aug. 14-The
strike committee today issued the fol-
lowing statement:
''No notice will be paid by union men
or others to the big bluff gotten out by
the Mine Owners association last night
calling the men back to work on Mon
day morning. The statement of the
suffering endured by the poor business
men and themselves over this strike
will not appeal very strongly to the
miners, especially so after tie action
of the Business Mems association in re-
fusing credit to men who have been
bills promptly for years. The men who
quit work did so for principle. Tue
of this district are not boys.
They know why they laid down their
tools and why they quit. They will
not go back to work till told to do 50
by the proper officials whom they have
elected to manage this fight. Regard
ing the offer of protection for the men
who desire to work. no protection will
be necessary because miners are law
a abiding men and no trouble is anffci-
pated. Everything is quiet in the dis
trict, and no imported thugs are want
ed, whose business is to create strife
where none exists; and, furthermore,
none will be tolerated. Proper officials,
assisted by law-abiding citizens, will
take care of these gentry should they
appear"

GER Of the evening was Ex-Governor l..
Bradford Prince, president of the So
ciety. In his Introductory address
Governor Prince told of the object of
the meeting and the aims of the society
and spoke of the events of yesterday
that have recently proved of greatest
moment to the people of Santa Fe. 1T
would be hard to imagine two more
widely different events than those of
today, one is so commercial in it's char
acter and the other of a most esthetic
nature. refer to the completion of the
Santa Fe Central and the driving of the

and this meeting this evening. Yet one
can readily see how closely they are
allied and how dependant the one is on
the other for the one has made the
to the object of the society the speaker
Mrs. Bascome who presented
the portrait to the society. Mrs. Bas-
come said:

COLOMBIA WANTS MORE MONEY.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 14-Another
cablegram has been received from Min

that no final action has yet been
reached on the canal treaty. While
the cablegran is not very definite, the
impression at the state department is
that one of the principal amendments
to be acted upon is in regard to an in
crease in the amount of money to be
paid by the United States to Colombia
for the canal concession.
