A riTCIIER BATTLE
Between . Striking I'nlouj ITIiuers and.
Negro Miner More Trouble Feared.
Pana. 111., ;Sftflember , 28. Striking
Union1 voal miners, and . Imported ne
groM engagel nr a pitcned battle In
the main street of. this fclty tonight;
Several hundred, shotls were exchanged
None ! were wounded in he -ranks bf
the union men. jThe negroes were driy-"
en from the city to their stockades
carrying with them, it is believed, la
number of wounded comrtades. One pf
the negroes Is -i reported to have i dled
soon after reaching the stockade. Des
ultory firing continues at : midnight
in the vicinity of the stockades. " : ;
Xhe trouble,: which has been, narrow-;
ly averted bet-Ween ?the striking coal
miners of this 'city and negroes im
ported from' the south to work the
mines, was precipitated at. 8:30 o'clock;
this evening. ;, i .1 ; . -I in
i As usual, the negroes from the stock-;
ades at the Springfield and Penwtfih
mines were making demonstrations on
ffcfrond and Locust streets, ; the prin-.
cipal streets of ' the cj.ty, by -parading
heavily armed. IvThe union miners were
in session at ; their hall, where a Chi
cago labor leader was speaking. - One
of the negroes appeared sit the foot Ot
the miners' hall land engaged in la
quarrel with a; anion whit$ miner. Of
ficer Samuel Smith immediately ar-
rested the black roan and was escort
ing him ; to jajl when he j was closed
in by, a posse,; of Inegroes, fwho, points
ing thein revolversi at Smith, threatens
eo to kill; nim u ne did not release the
prisoner; Smith continued on his wary
to the jail with the man.. Union min
e.rs and ; others;, meanwhile went tlo
Srftith's assistance anH the negroes
were driven back, j
i Smith took his (Prisoner
to Operatcnr
Georgei V. Penwell's store
and upon
renwelj s standing tor - the negro's
fine, he was released. Before Jh
had released the prisoner, however; thift
negro posse had been ; re-ehf orced and
assumed a threatening attitude td
ward the white men, Iavid McGavici
leader of the; union . miners, clubbed
one of the blacks; over the head -with'
a; revolver, it is said, i'or- itiait a block
McGavlc forccW-r; the negroes to re
treat and then a few shotsl were firedi
i The negroes; retreated .double quick:
to their stockades, secured rifles, re-f
turned to Locust street and challenged
the miners -to fightj. . The' opposing
forces lined up in the, street, the ne4
groes with Winchesters,, arid the min-f
ersi with Bhotgunsj rifles and revolverst
Neighboring business houses : were im
mediately closed, ; lights exttnguishedi
and citizens generally - sohght ; theiar
homes. At the word of command fir
ing commenced. The. first Volley, it us
said, came frorn.the. negroesL The union
men responded with a volley and heavy
firing continued .for five minutes. Much
of the shooting; was wild and entirely
harmless to tha white men -who finally
drove their enemies tn full! retreat to
the .stockades.. The ? negroes, are
thought to have carried several men
with them and one is reported dead.
A .second encounter' between whites
and blacks occurred twenty minutes
after the first battle,' near the Penwell
stockade; but the: firing was scattered
and it is not; believed to have ,beei 'a
serious engagement.- . The miners had
full 'charge, af the business! streets at
midnight Desultory, rifle reports could
be heard from the Penwell and Spring
sides stockades, hut no person would
venture into the streets near the mines
and very few -are loitering! about ; the
business o residence sections. ;
The union miners say the battle of
tonlght lu only a foretaste o what majy;
be expected to follow. Theyi blame On-1
erator Penwell for the trouble, and say
they will tomorrow swear out warrants
charging turn wun inciting tonigntls

Dr. Congosto said: ;"The e'vacualtion
of Cuba by Spain is a matter ofrtime,

fact that we have over 6,000 sick who

"The problem of the future of the

studied it without prejudice, and as a
result of this study of years ll -believe

HWhen;asked as to the establishment
of a new navy for Spain, Dr. Congosto
said; "Spain is still a great country,
and she ought to have a great navy-rand
probably will." : t ' ; "i ;
; Discussing the fall of Santiago and
the surrender of General Toral, Dr.
Congosto said:There Vere brave sol
diers .at Santiago and if; then leader
lacked courage he deserves to be pun
ished. Santiago should not have fal
len as it did and if Toral had not en
tered into negotiations with the enemy
it is likely that there would have been
a different story to tell today, j It; is
not true that the Spanish army there
lacked Isupplies and ammunition, for
they had plenty of both, which ; they
turned over to the Americans. If iToral
had puslied forward instead of'retreat
ing toward the city, he certainly would
have caused a repulse. These, are
things: W hich he will have to explain."

' London, September 28. The newspa

thatt thie government take the public
into -its! confidence in regard;! to the
Fashoda affair, having been informed
that General . Kitchener's report has
reached;: the foreign office and i that it
makes interesting developments. They
appear to be deeply disappointed that
diplomatists are to have the settlement
of the; question, 1 and express the fear
that Lord Salisbury will- prove isuscep
ti-ble tbi French blandishments.
: iThe foreiern office has issue! at formal
refusal. to make public any iurtner cie
Mails of the affair, some of which, how
ever,, are leaking out. .The Sidar, ac
cording to these, after Major Marchand
refused ; to furl the French nag, for
maljy 'announced that he had come to
raise the Egyptian flag, but before do-
'ifig- so; desired to know whether Major
Marchand wished to enter; a protest.;
The Frenchman replied. in the nega
tive, and the. Sirdan then planted the
Egyptian flag alone not the Egyptian
and British,: as 'at first reported 500
metres .from1 theFnench flagscaff.' Xe
gotiaticins relative to the matter were
begun at Paris today, the British am
