'At one time Austin stood very well in

He was excluded from the conference
which he had already injured by his un

Important Prosress Itcportsd by Mexi
can Forces In Yucatan
Oaxaca, Mex., Sept. 2S. Government
troops bave made important progress
in their campaign against .the Maya In
dians in Yucatan during the past two
weeks. A large body of General Bravo's
forces has occupied the bay of Ascension
which is only about eight leagues from
Chan Santa Cruz, the stronghold of the
Indians. This force is now slowly mak
ing ats way toward that stronghold. It
has to cut its way through a dense for
est and guard against ambush. The In
dians bave continued to strengthen the
fortifications of Chan Santa. Cruz and
its capture will be a great military
achievement.
It is charged that these fortifications
have been made under the direction of
expert engineers who came from Brit-is-h
Honduras, which adjoins the Maya
territory.

Coal Magnates Want to Know How He
Placated His Workmen.
Hazleton, Pa., Sept. 28. The only im
portant happening here this morning was
the sudden and mysterious departure of
John Markle of the firm of G. B. Mar
kle & Co., for New Yolk at an early
hour. He left Jeddo on a special train
at 2 o'clock on the Lehigh Valley Rail
road, making connection with the Black
Diamond Express at Mauch Chunk at 4
o'clock for New York.
It as alleged that Mr. -Markle was
asked to attend a conference of coal
operators and railway magnates, having
in view a settlement of the present
strike. No confirmation of this supposi
tion is obtainable here.
William Smith, Mr. Markle's general
superintendent, while
had gone to
mentioned
suance of private business affairs and
that he hiid not been summoned to any
conference. The impression prevails
here that Mr. Markle has been asked
to appear at a meeting of coal road offi
cials in New York to explain the means
by which he made his arbitration scheme
acceptable to at least a sufficient pro
portion of his men to allow him to op
erate his collieries: for, although with
a reduced force, there can be no ques
tion that they are Inking operated and
that there has been a small but steady
increase in his force during the last few
days.
i mimn, Mr. .uaiKie s general i
ident, while admitting that 1- j f.b( command is
to .New York at the early hour hht of disasl

The Strike Going Ahead
Pottsville. Ta Sept. 2S. No hoed was
paid to the reports of a prospective set
tlement of the coai strike in the Schuyl
kill mining region today. The strike is
going ahead, and more men quit work to
day, although not as many as had been
expected. All the mines in the west
end continued at work. The collieries
at Minersville resumed short-handed. All
are tied up at Ashiand except the Potts.
About 400 cars of coal were mined to
day in the twelve collieries in opevation.
Labor leaders say the strike can only be
settled by recognizing the miners' union.
All is quiet at Shenandoah and Mahanoy
City. The Trevorton colliery has resum
ed under the protection of deputies.
Force of Workers Greatly Reduced
Shamokin. Pa., Sept. 28. With the
closing of the . Bast colliery near Ash
land last evening, followed by 05 per
cent, of the men refraining from work
this morning at tne Potts colliery, two
thousand more men and boys were add
ed to the ranks of strikers. President
Fahy has a large staff of speakers in
the Minersville and Panther Creek dis
tricts, and as 75 per cent, of the em
ploves consist of Hungarians. Poles and
Lit'hunians, there is a jMissibiiity of ll
the collieries in this secton being tied
up before the middle of next week. In
that event out of a total number of 52,
XJO men and boys in the ninth district,
comprising the counties of Northumber
land, Schuvlkill, Columbia and Daupbo,
less than 3,000 will be at work.
General Gobin's troops at Shenandoah
maintain a close watch over the Ma
hanov and Schuylkill Valleys, but thus
far have had nothing to do.
JUMPED ON THE MAYOR
flVgarded as a Disaster
WaslWn-rton. Sent. 28. The capture of
the command is regarded almost in the
tcr at the War Depart-
ounter took place, in a
hitherto peaceful region, and shows, it
-iis said, that the dnsurgeuts are active
! all over the archipelago.
Marinduque is a large island south of
Luzon and west of Tayahas. Santa
Cruz is the most important town in the
island and is at the extreme northern
point. It is supposed that Captain
Shields relied upon the strength of his
command to make a successful expedi
tion across the island, and was met by
a strong force of Filipinos and captured
after desperate resistance. The fact
that all of the forces . returning from
China will be sent to the locality by
Gencral MacArthur shows that the situa
tion is extremely critical.
In addition to the 3,500 men from
General Chaffee, Colonel Anderson and
two companies of the Thirty-eighth In
fantry have been ordered to Marinduque
to pursue the insurgents relentlessly un
til Captain Shields and his men shall
have been rescued alive. This force
is to be aided by the gunboat York
town and the transport Logan, which
has just arrived at Manila from San
Francisco.
With the commanders in northern Lu
zon demanding reinforcements and ad
mitting their inability to cope with the
eiKmy, and severe reverses in the south
which demand the presence of all avail
able forces. War Department officials are
in a quandary as to how to deal with
the situation. The department is anx
iously awaiting a detailed report of the
casualties at Santa Cruz, and will issue
it as soon as received.
Captain Shields entered the army at
the outbreak of the Spanish-American
war as lieutenant-colonel of the Second
Mississippi Volunteer Infantry. At the
close of the war he accepted a com
mission as captain of the Twenty-ninth
Volunteer Infantry and proceeded with
his regiment to the Philippines, where
he has since been stationed.
North Carolina Men in tbe Company
Washington, Sept. 28. The Twenty
ninth Regiment was recruited in the
South and is composed of men almost
entirely from the States of Georgia,
Mississippi, Alabama, North and South
Carolina. In Company F, which is re
ported captured or killed, were the fol
lowing privates, all from Bryson City,

urged the crowd to disperse and
.promised to take the .case against the
negro up in court tomorrow. On this
.promise the crowd broke up, and it was
thought there would be no further at
tempts by the mob. Two hours later,
however, a fresh outbreak was made by
the mob, who advanced to the jail with
an iron battering ram.
D. .S. A. Harmon and Paul Sloan,
depunty sheriffs, warned theim to come
no further, and then shot over the heads
of the crowd, when some one in the
mob fired at the deputies. Paul Sloan
was shot and fatally wounded. He died i
early today. The sheriff and deputies
then dispersed the crowd at the point of
their pistols.
