6everal points, and a settlement U-
jtween himself and the Miners' Union
j has been made.
j This ends the strike, and many

regulate unionism in tho mines. The
secretary is given the right to visit
the mine at any time, and can order
the measuring of the men's work
whenever he wishes, even though the
man has worked but one hour. He
can also order the payment of the
men at any time. The Liberty Bell

A TASTE OF FREEDOM.
That is All the Cubans Want. Savs General
Gomez, Then Annexation.
New York, July 9. A dinner was
given tonight at the Union League
club to General Maximo Gomez and
General T. Estrada Palma, by W. E.
D. Stokes. Mr. Stokes was formerly a
member of the Cuban league of Amer
ica, and was closely identified with
the work of the junta, of which Gen
era! Palma was the head. The Cuban
general made a brief speech, which
was interpreted by General Gonzales.
General Gomez said he was deeply
touched by the remarkable reception
he had received in the United States.
Cuba and the United States, said the
general, belong together. It is onlv
a question of gravitation when they
will be one. but at present, after the
great struggle in which thousands of
lives were sacrificed, and when men
returned to their homes only to find
their wives and children starved to
death in the restricted barriers in
which Weyler had them tinder his
policy of concentration, they felt that
they must have Cuban libre. Jt is
now fully realized. lie said that
Cuba cannot get along without the
United States, but the Cubans want
to feel freedom.
After dinner General Gomez said to
the newspaper men that he wished to
express his gratitude to the press of
the United States and of the world for
the great good they had dono to the
cause of Cuban libre. He was sure
that the Cubans would now establish
their own government, and would
show the gratitude they feel for the
help of the Americans in removing
the Spanish yoke.

RURAL DELIVERY ABUSES.
Carriers Served Interests of Private Indivldu.
a's Too Much.
Washington, July 10. Already
abuses have sprung up in tho rural
free delivery service, and prompt steps
aro being taken to prevent their
spread, if not stamp them out alto
gether. Under a recent order of the
postoflice department, carriers on
rural routes were granted permission
to deliver and carry packages for per
sons living along tho routes. Com
plaints soon piled in that many car
riers, acting under this order, have
been making it a practico to deliver
or sell goods along their routes, which
were furnished by merchants, grocery
men or liquor dealers, who sought
this means of reaching rural custom
ers. This manner of busincs, on a
small scale, would, perhaps, have
been unobjectionable, but in a num
ber of instances the carriers became so
industrious in attending to their out
side deliveries that they neglected
their mails, and in consequence a
second order has now been issued
prohibiting rural carriers from engag
ing in any other luminous whilo per
forming their duties as carriers. This
was merely a case of privilege abused
by the few, and in consequence de
nied to all. Thero wero many routes
where carriers conducted this outside
business in an unobjectionable man
ner, but they will bo affected.

UNION FISHERMEN OBJECT TO
EMPLOYMENT OF JAP0.
f raitr River Clihrrki the Scene of Trouble
The Japanese Are Now Armed, and Dt
brmined to Stand Their Ground Price
Pa d for riih U Point of Diiputc Miti.
Itary May Ui Needed.
Vancouver, II. C, July 10. Tim
threatened trouble in connection with
the salmon canning industry, reached
a climax today, The fishermen ami
the ciutiier have been tumble to
agree Uwn the remuneration to bu
paid to the former (or catching fish,
and, a was the cast last year, tho
fishermen, who are well orgauined,
have declared a strike. The fisher
men' union comprise all the white
uud Indian who, by reason of many
year of serv ice, have become expert
in working for the 60 canneries on
the Fracr river. The canners, iin
able to coino to term with the union
fishermen, have arranged to employ
Japanese to catch salmon.
When the Japanese started out Ut
fish today the union men orgnuiml
a system of pat ml IkmiU, ami every
Japanese found IWhiug was ordered to
desist uud to return to hure. , A
number of Japanese, resisted thi com
mand, and fight ooMtrrcd Utwcn
Japanese nnd union men followed,
resulting in five broken head for a
many Japanese, None of tho latter
are fatally injured, but all are pretty
well battered up.
Following thi incident the Jatun
cc held a iiihm met ting, at which it
was decided that their entire strength
should lie paraded tonight. Conse
quently l,2t)U bout, each containing
three Japanese, started simultaneous
ly thi evening from tho fishing vil
lage of Stevenston 14 miles from Van
couver. Twenty-five special jsdice
men were sworn in Iteside tho regular
force at Steveton, but these proved
inadequate to restrain the union men.
The union patrol of 300 Uwit i ar
ranging to follow the Japane at
midnight and both sides significantly
agree that the matter will bo settled
before morning. All the Japanese
are armed and so are the white.
There is talk of calling out tho -militia,
but it i likley that the trouble
will I- settled, whether with or with
out bloodshed, liefore a military force
could l got to the scene of the
trouble.
FRICTION IN LUZON.
Grave Charges Aalntt Governor Whltemarih,
of Benguet
Manila. July 10. The United
States Philippine commission ha
ordered 11. p. Whitmarsh, the gov
emor of Itenguet province, to com
to Manila and submit to an investiga
tion owing to the allegation that he
has lecn using his position to hi per
sonal advantage in acquiring land uud
mining right from the natives. He
is at present charged with violating
hi instruction. The com mission
particularly instructed Governor
Whitmarsh to cultivate the friendship
and protect the interests of the Igor
rotes, who suffered from Spanish ex
tortions und exploitations, Colonel
Duval, of the Forty-eighth rgiinent,
who formerly occupied the provinces
of La Union and ilenguet, and Dr.
Kiehr, the regimental surgeon, who
was prominent in the civil service of
the province, complained of Governor
Whitmarsh ' method of nd minister
ing his office. The commisitioii is in-
j clim.il to attribute the feeling existing
to military opposition to civilian
authority in Ilenguet. Voluntary
statements made by natives to Com
missioner Worcester while on n visit
to Itenguet form the basis f the in
vestigation. General Hell ha, for
warded similar allegations to Manila.
Two friars who wero invited to Cal
asiao, province of Pagasinan, to cele
brate a holiday, wero mobbed. A
native priest denounced tho notion of
the people, whereupon they attacked
the priest. The frinrs (led. The
native papers have since renewed their
attacks on the friars.1
General Chaffee and Wmlo are at
ilatangas. The removal of tho mili
tary heiidquatrers in Southern Ln.oi
from Manila to Lipa, in llatangiu
province, is contemplated.
Pardo do Tavera, who has been an
nounced as a future number of thi
civil commission, and General Cailles,
tho insurgent leador who recently sur
rendered in Laguna province, ure go

The Peace Negotiations ,
London,' July 10. The British
government has issued further South
African correspondence concerning

ernment July 4. This proclamation
affirms that Mr. Kruger and tho Uocr
deputation abroad make satisfactory
reports ; that peaco would bo worth
