120 State street,
Sacrifice sale of clothing still on,
Pittsburg, Aug. 13. 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.

welcome from 30,000 throats, W. J.

scene around the city was animated
during his inarch from the depot to

every window where u view could bo

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
