The much-talked-of injunction against the United Mlncworkers was filed In the county court by counsel for the New York & Cleveland Gas & Coal Com pany. The defendants named are: The United Mlncworkers of America Patrick Dolan, pucsldent; Edward Mc Kay, vice-president; William Warner, secretary and treasurer, others. The plaintiff company sets forth that it Is a corporation under the laws of Pennsylvania, with a capital of $1,000,000 invested in coal lands of Pennsylvania. Three of their mines, employed 1200 men, arc the Plum Creek, Turtle Creek and Sandy Creek. The bill then recites the conditions prevailing at their mines-since the strike was b"gun and alleges the strikers have paid no attention to the sheriff's warnings, and that the lives of miners and oroperty of tho company are In danger, Judge Collier granted a temporary injunction, restraining and enjoining the defendants from assembling, marching or encamping in proximity to the mines and houses of the miners for the purpose by intimidation, threats and opprobrious words, of pre venting the miners of the plaintiff fiotn working. It further restrains tho defendants from Inducing or compelling any employe or miner to quitwoik. A hearing was llxed for August 10. The Injunction Is regarded us thr most sweeping yet issued. President Dolan expressed surprise when in formed it had been granted" and added: "It will make no difference to us. We will go along as usual until! the matter is tested In the courts' Wc will stay there legardless of every Judge on Alleghany county, and If they attempt to entorce the injunc tion they will have to tulldjuiore Jails to accomodate tho men." WILL FORCE THE ISSUE. Pittsburu. Aug. 13, The striking miners at Cannonsburg have deter mined to force the injunction Issue by continuing their dally marches and meetings in the neighborhood of tho McGovern and Cannonburg mines jn spite of the order of Judge Mclllwayne forbidding marches on the roads lead ing to tho mines. The purpose Is to have the men arrested in order to test the legality of tho injunction. Patrick Dolan stated it had been determined to keep up tho marches, and as fast as one group was arrested another one will take Its place until there will be so many of them in Jail that opinion will -bo aroused on the question of urging a new reform of injunction. In these movements the support of all the leading trades unions in the country are said to have been pledged at it secret meeting Jn Columbus dur ing the last 10 days, presided oyer by Samuel Gompers. Information has been recelyed by the Pittsburg operators that the min ers of the Bell, Lewis & Yates Co. have struck in Reynoldsvllle, and the rest of the mines of the company are idle. The company is ono of the heaviest tonnage producers In the northern field. About 8000 men are employed. The usual march of miners was mado at Turtle Creek at 4 oclock this morning, but more men went into the pit today than yesterday. Firms from all sections are coming to tho rescue of tho strikers. A cer tain cereal company at Akron, O., sent a dispatch offering to donate two tons of corn meal. Tho offer was ac cepted. Tho Fishermen's Protective Association, of Astoria, Or., has started cast by fast freight 100 cases of canned salmon for the miners.

St. Louis, Aug. 13. A special to the Globe-Democrat from Washing ton says: Mr. Ethan Allen Hitchcock, or St. Louis, has accepted the Russian mis sion, lie was In no sense a candidate. Uis name was not suggested to the president by j anybody. Tho llrst mention of Mr. Hitchcock In connec tion with the appointment came from the president. -. When the offer was llrst mado Mr. Hitchcock was disinclined to accept. Before iinally deciding, he commuci catcd with the president, at Lake Champlaln. After a full exchange of views with tho president, Mr. flitch cock decided to accept. Information to this effect readied Washington. Mr. Hitchcock started on Monday tor St. Louis to put his affairs In or ner, to go to St. Petersburg. It may be several weeks before ho is ready to qualify and Bail. Bryan in Butte. Butte, Aug. 13. Amid the screech !ng of steam whistles and shouts of welcome from 30,000 throats, W. J. Bryan was received In Butte. The scene around the city was animated during his inarch from the depot to the Butte hotel. Housetops sagged under the weight of thousands and every window where u view could bo obtained was crowded with faces. Mr, Bryun was met at Silver Bow Junc tion bym reception committee, The crowd at the depot was so dense tho police was unable tocope with It. On reaching the hotel lie made a brief address. New York, Aug. 13. A special to tho Herald from Havana via Key West says. Further details have been received of the battle near A.tucato which Is near the Matanzas line. Tho lighting It was first reported, was in Matan zas province, but it was Just on this side. There Is no doubt of the. result ot the battle, however, and a conser vative estimate places tho number or Spanish killed at 200, while the rcoel loss was comparatively trilling. Preparations for General Wcyler's arrival at the palace were mado on Monday, but ho has only just returned from the Held. He left Matanzas oti Sunday and reached Aguacate tho next day. It was there that a rumor came that ho was wounded in tho big fight near there, but the statement has proved to bo false. The excitement In Havana Is in tense. VTlic tjiccrtalnlty regaidlng the new minl-ny In Spain is paitlj to blame, and on top of this there comes news of a big Insurgent vlutoiy between Agucate aud Madruga and also of a pitched b title In the Vicinity or Sagua la Grande. The advance guard of General Gomez has crossed into Matanzas. Whether he lsdoc cannot ho ascer tained, but It is u-puitwl that he de clined the fight at Sagua la Grande. The largest battle that has taken place In several months was the one fought as Aguacato It is known that tho battle was the result of an attempt to capture General Weyler and kill him. The caotaiu-uencral had mado preparations to return on I horseback from Matanzas to Havana. Along tho road ho had posted Jiree columns of Spanish soldiers. Gen eral Castillo learned of Ills plans and gathered a force of fully 15000 icbcls Tills forco he hurled against the Spanish lines near Aguacato whore General Weyler was supposed to be. General Cast'llio commanded the in surgents in person and tho Spanish were under General Mllita. Tho in surgents dispersed, but later accounts ate that botli Colonel Alde.tand Gen eral Mollno were wounded. The battle began about 4 o'clock In the afternoon and continued till night. Tho Spanish were ranked along the open road nnd tho rebels approached them from tho rear, com ing from the hills. A body of cavaljy was stationed about a quarter of a mile down the road to cutoff Weyler If he should bo thcio and attempted to seek safety. The details of tho actual lighting are meagre, but many reliable persons who passed near tho place, which Is besldo the railroad station, 6ays that from carriage windows they could sec many dead soldiers along the road. The rebels Ubed rapld-llrlng guns. When darkness came tho Spaniards retired, lo return the next morning with heavy reinforcements, but the Insurgents only opened lire for ubout half an hour and then disappeared. They divided into small hands and sutbequent pursuit wis futile. Information has also been received of tho big light near Sagua la Grande. It Is said the town was attacked aud that a portion or It was burned, hut this has not been verified. Correspon dence from the Held, however, proves that there las been a little battle there, Gomez In person it Is salt, di recting the insurgentopcratlons. After tho light at Aguacate, Gon earl Wey'er fell back upon Guanaba under General Rodriguez. Rodriguez's plan was to force General Weyier to give battle and pursue him into the hills, where the captain-general stood a good chance of being cither killed or captured. Tho rebels fired several volle s from tho hills along the road side, killing 17 and woundlug a largo number of the Spanish, but Weyler refused to give light and kept on his march to Guanabacoa, driving 300 headofcattlo that ho had collected along tho line. General Rodriguez followed In Weylcr's rear to within sight of tho town. After tho rebels withdrew tho Spanish troops com menced a heavy fire, tho nolso or which awakened E.nd rrlghtened tho residents of Guanabacoa. A train running from Mariano In navana province was ilred upon recently. The American vice-consul, Mr. Springer, was on the train. Bul lets struck near him, but he escaped unhurt. THE DAUNTLESS FIRED UPON. Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 13. The slippery Dauntless has mado another attempt to get out, and the Wilming ton had to lire a gun to stop her. She waited until the Brunswick, a big passenger stOHiucr cauio along, whan she got on the outside closo to her and moved as noiselessly as possible. Justus they passed the Wilming ton the Dauntless slipped back a Utile by some mischance exposing her stem. Instantly there was a commotion on the Wilmington. Without a hall a puff of smoke burst from the foreward gun while the heavy report came oyer tho water a second later, added to tills, there were two hoarse whistles and the Dauntless' officers knew the effort was a failuie.
