WASHINGTON, July 22.-Pressed
by European powers, the United
States government has about lost
patience with the various elements
in the republics of Haiti and San
Domingo and will demand a restora-
ton of peace on threat of armed inter-
vention. Secretary Bryan will con-
fer tomorrow with Secretary Daniels
about a possible movement of mar
ines into Haiti. Already large dis
cretionary orders have been given

but final decision as to whether force
IS to be used by the American gov
ernment has ben deferred.
Reports from Cape Hatien of fur
ther fighting with added danger to
foreigners were regarded tonight as
forecasting prompt action by the
marines nav being concentrated at
Guatanamo.
Not only have the military forces
in Haiti refused to heed the warnings
OF the American government that
fighting must cease and property
protected, but dispatches reported the
failure of attempts to settle the
Dominican revolution by diplomacy.
Secretary Daniels decided today

Dominican waters.
Captain Russell of the battleship
South Carolina sent the following re-
port by wireless:
"At o'clock this morning the rebel
forces, about 500 strong under the
leadership of Charles Salnavo, gained
entrance into Cape Haitien before
they were discovered The govern
ment troops, consisting of about 900
men, were concentrated near the
point of entry and successfully
stopped the advance. Each faction
stood it's ground and a rapid and con-
tinuous rife fire was kept up for about
one hour, when Forts St. Michael and
Bellaire opened up with artillery.
This had demoralizing effect on
the rebels and a disOrderly retreat
was begun. The rebels left their dead
and wounded on the field and many
threw their arms away. The fighting
lasted about two hours. The latest
information gives the killed as 81 on
the revolutionists side and on the
side of the government
Cape Haytien is quiet tonight.
After the fight this morning a proc
lamation was published by the gov
ernment stating that number Of the
rebel forces, which gained entrance
into the town last night, were known
to be hidden in buildings inside the
town and that whosoever should har-
bcr or fail to deliver over such per-
sons should, upon discovery, suffer
death.
"The houses of the town were
searched and number of concealed
rebels were discovered and shot. Some
estimate the number shot as high
as 5O.''

ment, During Strike Of Mine Workers, Extending
Over Seven Counties and Continuing Three Months

Early in the year 1902, differences
occurred between the operators and
the mine workers in the anthracite
coal regions of Pennsylvania, which
resulted in a cessation of work on the
part of the mine workers. Almost
every colliery closed, and both parties
to the controversy settled down to a
prolonged contest. In the beginning nc
lawlessness or disorder was INDUCED
in, but in July meetings were held
more frequently, assemblages of men
indulged in lawlessness. terrorized
communities, and in some instances
threatened the lives of individuals.
On July 10, 1902, the Governor OF
Pennsylvania received from the sheriff
of Carbon county a telegram asking
for assistance.
An investigation of the turbulent
district was made by officers detailed
Tor that purpose, and they reported
on July IL, 1902. that the condition
of affairs had improved, and that the
local authorities could control the sit
uation.
Between July 10 and July 80 there
were numerous infra actions of law and
order, but none of such magnitude or
violence as to be beyond the control
Of the local authorities.
At 40 p. M, July 80, the follow
ing telegram was received by the Gov
crnor from the sheriff of Schuylkiil
county:
