To Reduce Force Ia Cuba.

General Randolph, chief Of artillery,
has recommended to the Secretary OF
War that four companies OF artillery
now doing duty in Cuba be brought
back to the United States and assign
ed to service at Portland in connection
with the Joint maneuvers to be held
next summer. Should Secretary Root
adopt the recommendation, this will
mean reduction OF the force OF the
United States soldiers in the island to
about 500.
These troops were left in Cuba for
the purpose OF manning the artillery
deienses of the island until the new
Government organized all efficient force
OF its own. Reports received iron!
Cuba indicate that under the careful
instruction OF American officers the Cu-
bans are now rapidly getting in such
shape that it will be no longer neceS-
sary for the American soldiers to stay
there to take care OF their guns and
show them how they should be handled.
The eight companies OF coast artiI-
lcry now stationed in Cuba are distriD-
uted at Havana, Santiago and Cleniuc-
Cos, but should the proposed reduction
take place the remainder will prooaoly
be distributed to the new naval stations
at Guantanamo and Bahia Honda.

KILLED 100 MOR0S.
Captain Pershlng Captures Stronghold at
Bacolod.

Manila (By Cable Captain Perish
ing's force captured Bacolod, Island OF
Mindanao, on Wednesday, killed a hun
dred Moros and wounded many others.
Three Americans were wounded.
The force consisted of Shaw's battal-
ion of the Twenty-seventh Infantry, Xii
patrick's troop of the Fifteenth Cavalry,
and McNair's battery.
Captain Pershing was surveying the
west shore lands when the Bacolodians
opposed his advance and provoked the
fight. Pershing surrounded and at
tackled their stronghold, first Smelling
them, and then, rushing his troops tor
ward, charged CALAMITY. After crossing
a deep moat and entering the tort the
Americans engaged the Moros, bayonets
against krisses. A hundred of the de-
tenders were killed, including the Datto
of Panandungan, and many were wound
Cd Only three Americans were wound
ed After the capture of the fort 1t was
destroyed.
The Bacolod leaders and the majority
of the people of that district had been
hostile to the Americans and encouraged
attacks on the American camps. They
rejected tenders of friendship:
1t is expected that the defeat OF the
Eacolodians will result in all the MoroS
acknowledging American sovereignty.

FOUR KILLED IN EXPLOSION.
Passenger Express AMI Fast Freight Trains
Crash Together.

Halifax, N. S. (SpeciaD Pour per-
sons dead, two fatally hurt, at least one
missing and several others slightly IN
iured, is the record OF head-on COLI
sion on the Intercolonial Railway,
which occurred just before midnight
near Windsor Junction, seventeen miles
from Halifax.
The poles and telegraph lines along
the roadside were wrecked and this city
was cut off from communication with
the outside world for hours.
The trains in collision were the "a
madam Pacific Railway express, IRON
Montreal and Boston for HALIFAX, and
a fast freight, from Halifax for Mon
treal. The conductor and driver OF the
freight had orders to take the siding
at Windsor Junction and let the ex-
press pass, but for some unknown rea-
son Driver Copeland OF the freight
ran past the junction on the main line
and met the express two miles beyond
1t is thought that Copeland may have
lost control OF his train, which wa, was
made up of seventy-hve cars. Inc
freight was running twenty-five miles
an hour and the express, which was

BILLION DOLLAR COAL FIND
A Great Discovery of Anthracite in the
Wyoming Region.
COMPRISES TWO THOUSAND ACRES.
Will Give Work, 1t Is Estimated, to 5000 Men
for 200 Years-The Marketable Value at the
Present Time Is More Than $1,000, 600, 900
Altogether About 3OO,OOO,OOo Tons Can Be
Mined

Wilkes-Barre, Pa. (SpeciaD.-Velns
that indicate the greatest discovery OF
anthracite coal in Pennsylvania since the
first general discovery was made have
Just been uncovered by the Lehigh and
Wilkes Barre and the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Companies near this
city.
Two bores, one of 1000 and the other
of 300 feet, have been completed. They
passed through p veins, one OF which is
a continuation of the celebrated NAM
moth vein of the Hazleton district.
Eleven veins not previously marked on
the geological maps of the State were
among the ~ pierced, and these lie
closely from so to 700 feet below the sur
face. The other veins are deeper.
The discovery was made at point
three miles below this city. The district
comprises an area of more than 1000
acres. reaching from the river to Sugar
Notch and Warrior run. 1t is the hig-
est point in the basin where bore has
ever been started, the next highest being
at Askam, several miles away.
Of the upper veins in the first 100 feet
of the boring the experts knew nothing
although they discovered indications
some time ago that there was coal there;
The borings have been conducted
secretly. =. , :.
The fact of chief interest directly III
the region is that enough coal has beer
found to give work to 6,oco men for zoe
years. The marketable value at the pres
ent price is more than $1,000, ooo,o 600 II
/ is estimated that there would be, II al
the veins were put together, about I5(t
feet of coal spreading the whole WIDTH
of the basin in that part, making alto
gether about 100000 tons. The eSti
mate is that it now costs about SI.5o &c
produce a ton of coal and put it on the
track ready to send to market, and a a,
that rate the men who mine the tract vii
earn about $45o,ooo.ooo.
This discovery sets at rest all the re
peated assertions that the coal i'll tn
Wyoming Valley will be mined Out in s.
