TRIAL OF ANGIOLILLO
How Canovas' Slaver Was
Sentenced to Death.
TRIAL MERELY A FORMAL AFFAIR
!
Th. Prisoner Qnailed Wli.B the Sen-
tenoe of Death by Strangulation
.Was Pronounced.
Nbw York, Aug. 17. A dispatch to
- the Herald from Veraga, Spain, gives
the details of tbe-trlal of Angiolillo, the
anarchist who shot Canovas and who
was sentenced to die by the garrote thi
week in prison.
All the members of the conrt, accord
ing to custom, first heard mass in the
cbnrch. Then they proceeded to the
hall of justice. The courtroom was
crowded, but was well lighted by several
windowB. At the upper end, with his
back to the wall, eat in the center the
president, the colonel of artillery,
Eliceqoi, a severe-looking officer, having
on liis right and left six captains of in-
fanirv and artillery, while the prosecu
tor, captain-auditor, sat on the right of
the judges. Counsel for the defense,
Lieutenant of Artillery Gorria, sat on
the left, looking grave under the difficult
task assigned him by ' the authorities,
because the prisoner refused to select
counsel from a list of six officers prof
fered him.
When brought in Angiolillo gazed de
fiantly around, bb if looking for some
body. The proceedings were conducted
rapidly. The deposition of witnesses
were read or rather mumbled quickly by
the clerk. The public prosecutor finally
asked the court to sentence the assassin
(o death by the garrote.
On hearing this the prisoner who ex
pected to be shot like other anarchists,
looked startled and horrified. The coun
sel for tbe defense read a brief argu
ment attempting to show that his client
was insane, and imploring indulgence of
the judges, who eat with hard, unmoved
faces. '
The president then asked Angiolillo
what he had to say. He stood up and
began in a clear voice with resolute mien
to show that he. had not been an ordi
nary murderer, bat a political agitator
and avenger of his fellow anarchists,
who were shot and tormented at Barce
lona. The guards then led him away to soli
tary confinement, from which he will
issue only to be led to death behind the
walls of Veraga prison. - Angiolillo will
hear nothing of the outer world or see
anybody but the priests.
MABTIAL . LAW IS DECLABKD.

' bars District.
Pittsbubg. Pa.J Aug. 17. Martial law
' to all intents and purposes has been de
clared in Plum, Patron and WilkinB
townships by Sheriff Lowry. ' The three
mines of the New York & Cleveland Gas
Company, also, are in these townships,
and all the roads leading to them will be

to break np the camp of tbe strikers nn
til the court has passed on the question,
but announced today that he is deter
mined to stop the marching and tres
passing od the companies property. -
There are now nearly 800 men in camp
at Plum creek. After the mutiny at
Sandy creek yesterday the camp at that
point was abandoned, and the men went
. to Plum creek. Last night it wa de-
cided to have tbe women march. . Sheriff
Lowry said he would disperse tbe wom
en as quickly as the men, as he inter
preted tbe court 8 order to enjoin not
only tbe men, but all who attempted a
show of force or interference with tbe
miners. - The women did not march.
Passengers on the morning train from
Pittsburg to Turtle creek say a man who
gave bis name as John Mohre said be
was from tbe Osceola mine, and an
nounced that he was going to kill Super
. intendent De Armitt, is under arrest by
the sheriff. . Neither he nor the eheriff
will say for what, but the strikers say
it is too prevent his arrest by any con
Stable. -.- " ,
'. At Turtle creek, 50 .' strikers marched
from Camp Determination this morning
on the Oakbill mines. . This was done
unexpectedly, and in Violation of the re
straining order temporarily-continued by
the court yesterday. '. Before reaching
the mines Sheriff Lowry and a posse met
the marchers and ordered them back to
camp. ' The strikers reluctantly .return
ed back. ; :
The mine officials express themselves
as well satisfied with the injunction pro
ceedings. . '
"According to the court." saidPresi
dent Dolan. " the lmonction only re
strains from doing things we have not
done and do not intend to do. The
camps willxontinue and will.be con
ducted as usual until further notice."
Gains In Wilt Virginia.
Wheeling, Aug. 17. The strikers
show material sains in all sections of
West Virginia today. In the Wheeling
district there is not a miner working,
while on the Ohio side of the river the
last man except those who are to furnish
coal for the water and electric' light
plants will be out tonight. - In the Fair
mont district the strike leaders -did not
succeed in closing tbe Montana mine en
tirely, but they made decided gains.
UTICA MINK IS BURNING.
A Serioua Conflagration at Angel. Camp
California.
Angels Camp. Cal., Ang. ' 17. Tbe
great Utica mine is on fire. Flames and
smoke were discovered issuing from the
200-feet level at 4 o'clock this morning,
It was with difficulty that tbe shift
made their escape. The fire is supposed
to have originated from spontaneous.
combustion, caused by lard and coal oil
It is impossible at present - to estimate
the extent of the loss that tbe fire will
cause, but it is safe to say it will amount
of hundreds of thousands.
Not only are the mineownera affected,
bat the whole town of Angels Camp,
are almost entirely dependent upon the
miners employed in the TJtica group of
mines. There are 100 men employed by
the company, and should the fire prove
as serious as reported these men will ' be
left in destitute circumstances. .
Eyery effort is leing made to quench
tbe hre, but gas and smoke is escaping
from ail the shafts, which are being rap
idly bulkheaded. While stopping tbe
Utica shaft several firemen were suffo
cated.
Tbe mine is being rapidly flooded with
water, and all tbe main pipes have been
cut and about 3000 inches of water are
pouring down tbe shafts. It will take
at least four days to flood the mine and
two months to pump out the water and
fit the mine for regular operation.
Tbe Utica mine is owned by tbe Ho
bart estate. It is estimated the net
profits of the mine exceed $1,500,000 per
annum.

Chbistiama, Aug. 17. Information
received here confirms the report pub
lished in a dispatch from Hammerfest,
Norwav, saying one of the eearchers for

about July 22, and was informed by her
captain that one of the crew had shot

Seven islands, on the north coast of the
island, bearing a message from the ex
plorer, addressed to the Aftonhladet, of
Stockholm, which read as follows :

The date of the message was illegible.
The pigeon also carried a letter also
addressed to tbe Aftonbladet, but the
captain of the vessel declined to sur
render either. Tbe captain is familiar
with Andree's plant, and is greatly in
terested in them.
The news arrived here ipdirectly,
The captain of tbe Aiken communicated
the information to the commander of the

A DECISION MADE
Injunction Against the Strik
ers Made Permanent.
DEPUTIES RESTRAINED THE MIXERS
Camp at De Armitt' Mine to
AbandonedSerious Fori Fam-
Ine at Wheeling.'
Be
Pittsburg , Aug 18. When court
opened this morning Judges Stcwe and
Collier banded down a decision in tbe
injunction proceedings of the New York
& Cleveland Gas Coal Company' against
tbe United Mine Workers of America,
Patrick Dolan, William Warner and
others. - Tbe preliminary injunction was
made permanent and the plaintiff - was
ordered to file a bond of $5000 to answer
for such damages as may be sustained
defendants by reason of the injunction.
Immediately after filing the decree,
and upon motion of Thomas ' Patterson
the court ordered a similar decree to be
drawn in tbe case against the Bunola
miners, in which the injnnetion was ap
plied for by Buf us C. Crawford. .
So Marching This Horning.
PiTTiBCRG, Aug. 18. The etriking
miners encamped at the mines of tbe
New York & Cleveland Gas Coal Com'
did not march this morning,'as they bad
planned to do. At Turtle Creek they
formed in line, but when ready to start
tbey beheld the deputies standing just
outside of the camp, so the march was
abandoned and small parties numbering
from two to six each were instructed to
patrol the woods in the vicinity of tbe
mine and report the number of men go
ing to work. They were instructed to
keep moving, and if approached by dep
uties to get away rapidly to escape the
service of an. injunction, if possible.
The leaders propose in this way to harass
the deputies and De Armitt. They eay
there are 20,000 men in the district, and
that injunctions will have to be read
20,000 times before tbe attacks upon tbe
mines at Oak Hill, . Sandy Creek and
flam Creek cease, unless the mines are
sooner closed down.
The men followed the instructions, but
were unable to learn just how many dig
gers went into the pit today. The out
put of the Oak Hill mine yesterday was
seven cars of lump coal and two of slack
and nut or about 180 tons. This shows
a gain for the company, though no claim
of increased force is made by De Armitt.
and tbe strikers claim tbat only 22 men
are at work.
A mass meeting of miners and citizens
has been called to be held at Monongha
bela City tonight. Saturday afternoon a
meeting will be held at Cannonsburg. '
Today the miners of Lawrenceville,
Butler, and Warner will hold a mass
meeting at the conrthouse at Mercer,
National Organizer Dameron Miller will
make an address. Heads of various
labor organizations of the city will hold
a conference with the miners' officials
tomorrow evening.
Tbe indications are that the camp
about DeArmitt'a mine will be aban
doned, and there will be no more march
ing. Uriah Bellingham reached Plum
Creek about noon and calling the men
together, told them of the adverse de
cision of the court. He told them there
would be no further use in remaining in
camp, as no more food would be fur
nished.
WANTS ANOTHER ISLAND.
It la Said
She Will Shortly Ann
Cllpperton.
San Francisco, Aug. 18. The arrival
of the steamer Navarro from Clipperton
island confirms previous rumors of possi
ble diplomatic complications with Great
Britain over the ownership of that Iso
situated 60. miles . west
otAcapulco. It seem9 tbat England
has never acquired a title to the island.
Several years ago it was discovered
that the island was rich in phosphite.
Tbe Oceanic Paosphite Company ot this
city, was then organized and since that
time the island has been owned here
and has practically been United States
territory. ' It is now asserted that Eng
lish capitalists propose to buy tbe . San
FrancifCJ company's interest, and hav-
ng acquired a commercial control, to
place the island under Great Britain's
flag.'. ; ' :
A gentleman familiar with the. matter
says: , ' ..' -
Mexico may assert a claim if Eng
land attempts to annex Clipperton, and
under the Monroe doctrine the United
States would be expected to support it.
If Mexico can show no title to tbe island,
the United States has a commercial
claim that is ahead of "any other. ' ;'
"Even though neither Mexico nor the
United States may want the island,' the
policy of tbe United States against the
extension of European dominion on this
continent may be exteuded to the coral
island. - Diplomatic difficulties- may
arise in any event unless England desists
from attempting to acquire ownership,

The Gtlea Mine Fire. '
Angels Camp, Cal., Aug. 18. The fire
in tbe Utica mine seems to have abated,
although it is impossible to assert to
what extent the fire may have spread or
to estimate the amount of damage done.
The cause of the fire is attributed to the
carelessness of a miner, who was filling
his lamp with oil.
There is nothing so thoroughly appre
ciated by the ladies during the hot wea
ther as a delicious dish of genuine ice

THE KLONDIKE RUSH CAUSES IT
Seattle Newspaper Man's Views Thirty
Millions in Gold Expected From
Alaska Next Tear. '
' Chicago, Aug. 19. C. M. Nettle ton,
of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, who is
visiting in "Chicago, says the conditions
on the Pacific coast remind the old set
tlers ot the palmy days of California in
1849. He has a number of specimens of
Klondike gold.
"I believe, said Mr. Nettle ton, "that
without question, $30,000,000 of the yel
metal will be taken from Alaska next
year, and it is confidently believed tbat
the steamer Portland, which is due to
arrive in Seattle on August 25tb, will
bring $3,000,000 in nuggets and dust.
, "One peculiar thing is that tbeminers
upon landing, seldom are willing to tell
the truth in reference to their success.
Nearly all of them expect to return, and
for this reason ao not give the facts as to
tbe amount of gold tbey have in their
possession. 1 asked one miner bow
much gold he had secured. He replied
that be had $3000 or $4000, when tbe
truth was he had about $112,000 worth
with him. Their idea seems to be tbat
if they underestimate the amount of
gold they had found, it will have a tend
ency io keep other people out.
"Only about forty square miles of ter
ritory have been thoroughly prospected,
whereas there are , hundreds of square
miles of territory which it is believed
contain gold in large quantities. Tbe
surroundings are the same as those of
the ground which has been gone over
and the conditions are tbe same. Never
theless, people should not attempt to go
to the gold fields this season, but should
postpone their trip until next spring,
when conditions will be more favorable
to travel and prospecting."

from ex-Deputy Adam , Baker, dated
Skaguay, August 7. He complains of
tbe hardship of getting freight from the

The passengers formed a company to un
load. Trouble ensued by one man as
suming to boss. The miners drew guns
and then took their individual goods
ashore.
The river but a mile from camp is 500
feet wide and swift, and there is con
tinued loss of goods by horses falling in
tbe current. Packs must be cut away to
save the norses. Jbeveral norses were
drowned August 6th - and 7th. Tired
men are selling outfits at les9 than cost.

Columbus, O., Aug. 19. The national
executive committee of the miners' as
sociation was called to meet here today.
The board adjourned until 1 p. m. to
await tbe arrival of absent members.
Being asked to foreshadow the pro
posed action of the board, President
Ratchford said. ' -
"The conservative policy adopted by
our board at the . begining mu9t nec
essarily be departed from because of the
extreme radical policy of the other Bide.
We would much prefer . a i attle along
peaceable lines, as we have been doing,
but our board will be obligpd to adopt
tbe tactics of the other side and also to
take steps to extends the fight In other
fields. We will have to adopt other
methods to meet the injunctions. We
do not propose to have the injunctions

tbe same place collided with a pile of
empty oil barrels which had been put on
the track and fastened with a heavy
rail.

ed in West Virginia today. The news
that the Pittsburg operators have de
cided to resume at all hazards, and re
ports that Dolan and representatives of
the operators have asked . President
Ratchford to come to Pittsburg with a
view to settling the strike had a depress
influence upon the West Virginia min- '
ers. In tbe New River region five mines
