IMON MINERSJEPORTED
Torn By Soldiers From Their Weeping
Families.
MILITARY IN ENTIRE CONTRNL.
Train Dears 76 Union Miners, I'nder Military
fluard, Outside the Limits of Colorado, ;
Others W ill Follow Until All Are Out Judges j
and Other Afhcials Said to De In Sympathy
With Union Are Exiles.
Colorado Springs, Col., (Special).
Acting under the orders of Adjt. Gen.
Sherman Hell of the state national
guard, a special train was made up
shortly after noon in the Short Line
yards at Victor for the deportation of
seventy union miners. The train was
composed of a combination baggage
car and two day coaches. Almost im
mediately the work of loading the men
began. They were marched to the
train between heavy lines of military
and deputies.
A crowd of fully 1,000 persons had
collected to sec the men placed on
board. Among the spectators were
the wives and sisters, fathers and
mothers, of the deported men, an.l the
scenes were very affecting. Mothers,
sisters and sweethearts cried good
by and tried to push through the lilies
for a parting handshake.
Mayor Harris of this city had been
informed of the decision to deport
the men and immediately took steps
to see th.it none of them landed in
Ccdorado Springs. Under his in-1
struction a large force of officers and
deputy sheriffs met the special train i
at 6.10 P. M. for that purpose. No at-
tempt was made, however, to unload j
the men here, arrangements having !
previously been made to send them to I
the Kansas state line over the Santc
Fe railroad, because of protests made
against taking them to Pueblo or 1
Denver and leaving them there.
The train stopped long enough at j
this place to give the soldiers time
eat. The deported men had rations 01 ,
beans and bread on board. j
Sixty men confined in the Cripple 1
Creek bullpen were taken to the I
county jail and charges of murder
were placed against them. J
Operations Resumed. 1
Cripple Creek. Col., (Special). The;
excitement throughout this district is
gradually subsiding. Work was re- j
Mimed at mines employing non-union
men which had been closed since
Monday, the Stratum Independence i
being the first to reopen. 1 he Fort
land mine remains closed by order of
General Hell, and its 500 employes
will be compelled to abandon the
union or leave the district.
Employers in all branches of busi
ness in this city, without an exception
so far as known, have signed the
agreement proposed by the Citizens'
Alliance, "not to employ help of any
kind that is in any way connected
with the District Trades Assembly or
the State Federation of Labor, the
American Labor Union or the West
ern Federation of Miners or any
kindred organization." This agree
ment of the proprietors has caused
consternation among the clerks tnd
employees in shops and stores, as
all will have to resign to hold their I
positions. )
The war against unions is to be i
extended, the organizers of the move-1
mcnt say. to every city and town in .
the district. i
Says He Has the Culprits.
Cripple Creek, Col., (Special). Gen. 1
Sherman Hell made the following
statement for publication: j
""I have indisputable evidence which j
will lead to the conviction of a num- j
ber of union men for the murder of;
the non-union miners who were killed 1
in the Independence Depot explosion.:
e have between 35 and 40 men in
the bull pen who will swing for this
crime. We are only waiting to capture
two or three more men before we tell
what our evidence is."
Another battle is possibly being
fought in the mountains. Early in
the day Major T, E. McClelland and
a detail of 1(1 men went to Clyde,
eight miles east of Victor, to round up
35 miners reported to be intrenched in 1
the mountains near there. Having!
failed to hear from them, Major Gen-j
eral Hell is becoming apprehensive, j
There is no telegraphic communica
tion with the camp.
"I ordered Major McClelland," said
General Hell, "to take no chances and i
shoot down the first man that re
sisted: hence I fear it has been a
repetition of the battle of Dunville.
Of course. Major McClelland 'may
have captured the men and, in the ab
sence of railroad communications, may
be walking them to Victor. However,
as the miners are said to be heavily
armed. I am fearful that a battle has
taken place."

An Englishman Suspected.
Havana, (Special). The Governor
of Santiago telegraphs the secretary
of the government that rural guards
have arrested James Stewart, an Eng
lishman, who is suspected of having
caused the dynamite explosion which
wrecked two engines and a large sec
tion of the tracks of the Cuban
Eastern Railway at Guantanamo.

the road, but was discharged.
Live Wirt Kills Huibaad and Wife.
Norfolk, Vs., (Special). About 2
o'clock the other afternoon Elisha II.
Jones and his wife were instantly
killed near their home, on Eighteenth
street, Berkley, by a live wire. Jones,
who was a motorman on the Berkley
street railway, was leaving his home
when he saw an electric wire which
had fallen partially in the street. In
drawing the wire out of the street he
received a shock that killed him. Mrs.
Jones saw her husband when he fell
with the deadly wire about him. She
rushed let him and endeavored to
take the wire off, when she, too. re
ceived shock and died instantly.
LIVE WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.
Army Declines Navy's Offer.
The joint army and navy board has
postponed until next fall the con
sideration of the question of control
of wireless telegraph systems operat
ing on the coasts of the United States.
The army members of the board in
formed the naval members that they
were not ready to make a report at
this time, owing to pressure. of other
duties. The proposition came up in a
request ot the Navy for the co-operation
of the Army for the control of
wireless systems, to be under the
direct supervision and management of
the Navy. While the army ollicers ot
the joint board did not submit any re
ports. General Greeley, the chief sig
nal officer, has submitted his views
to the general staff advising against
any interference whatever with com
mercial line systems of wireless tele
graph, maintaining that in case of war
the government would take control
of such systems, as it would of tele
graph and cable lines operated in or
to and from the United States. Gen
eral Greeley also points out that the
Signal Corps is now introducing and
operating a satisfactory system of
wireless telegraph at different points,
which it was proposed to use as a part
of the Signal Corps' regular work.
The indications are that the Army is
in no hurry to accede to tlie proposi
tion of the Navy.
Islands for Filipinos.
When William II. Taft, Secretary
of War, greeted the 4.) distinguished
Filipinos constituting the Honorary
Hoard of Philippine Commissioners
to the World's l air he took for his
text "The Philippines for the Filipi
nos," He said lie intends to vi-it the
Philippine next year for the purpose
of seeing w hat progress is being made
in the government of those islands.
The intelligent body of Filipinos
who are now the guests of the nation
were early in the morning received at
the War Department by Secretary
Taft, formerly Civil Governor of the
Philippines. After the reception, at
which some highly interesting speech
es were made by Dr. Tavira, one of
the native commissioners, and by
Secretary Taft. the party was turned
over to the several ollicers of the
army detailed to show them this city.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon they
were entertained at luncheon by the
President, and following the luncheon
the visitors were given a reception by
Mrs. Roosevelt, when thev were
formally presented to officers of the
army, navy, Marine Corps and to
many distinguished oincials of the
United St iles.
Canary Lands Are Costly.
In a report to the Department of
Commerce and Labor United States
Consul Berliner, at TenerifTc, Canary
Islands, says he thinks that nowhere
else in the world is land held at as
high figures as there.
He declares good lanj with water
facilities has been sold at $4,800 an
acre. The Consul says that in order
to help the farmers the Spanish Gov
ernment has compelled the tobacco
regie in Spain to take from the Ca
nary Islands each year for the next
four years 220,000 pounds of tobacco,
at present the crop amounts to 132,
000 pounds, but more wis! be planted
in the future. The Government also
has sent an experienced horticulturist
to see to the cultivation, and what
improvements can be made, so that
at some future day Spain may be in
dependent of Cuba in regard to certain
qualities of tobacco that are at present
bought there.
Appeal to the President
President Roosevelt received a tele
gram from W. D. Haywood, secretary
of the Wei-tern Federation of Miners,
urging him to institute an investiga
tion of the present serious condition
of affairs in the Cripple Creek mining
district of Colorado.
Beyond the mere statement that
the telegram had been received and
that no answer yet had been sent to it,
no official information is obtainable at
the White House. What action, if
any at all, the President may take is
not even intimated.
At least twice heretofore in the last
six months the President has been
requested to interfere in the Colorado
troubles, but declined, after mature
consideration, because he had no legal
power to take action in the matter.
It is regarded by those in close touch
with him to be unlikely that the Presi
dent will interfere in any way with
the action of the constituted au
thorities of the State of Colorado.
Chinese Government's Regrets.
Secretary Hav received a call from
Mr. Chow Tszchi, the first secretary
of the Chinese legation here, who ex
pressed the deep regret of his govern
ment at the reported killing near
Niuchwang of the American news
paper correspondent Etzel by Chinese
soldiers, who suspected him of being
a pirate. The legation has received no
details, but was able to assure Sect
tary Hay that his government would
make all proper amends for the un-
fortunate affair if
true.
the reports were

MENACE TO CIVILIZATION
Doctors Have
a Symposium on Pneu
monia. CONVENTION AT ATLANTIC CITY.
The Dread Disease Declared to De on the
Increase in Every City In the Union Except
Washington Dr. Sternberg, Discoverer ol
the Pnucmococus, and Dr. Fulton Take Part
In the Discussion,
Atlantic City, N. J., (Special).
Pneiimonii, which, in the words of
Dr. Edward I". Wells, of Chicago, "is
a new menace to civilization," was
the subject of much earnest discussion
by the members of the American
Medical Association. At the session
of the section of higiene and sani
tary science the disease was dealt
w'ith in a paper read by Dr. Wells,
who stated that it Was virulently corn
municipal, and the section of materia
medica, pharmacy and theraputics held
a symposium for the discussion of the
subject. Among those who partici
pated in the discussion were former
Surgeon General Sternberg; Dr.
George Dock, of Ann Arbor. Mich.;
Dr. Solomon Soli Cohen, of Philadel
phia: Dr. Nathan S. Davis, Jr., of
Chicago; Dr. J. M. Anders, of Phila
delphia; Dr. George M. Kobcr, of
Washington; Dr. J. S. Fulton, of Hal-
limore- and many other distinguished
physicians.
Dr. Weils said that the prevalence
of pneumonia is remarkably on the in
crease, lie quoted 30 cases of com
municable ciruleney. He recom
mended the use of moistened cloths
before the lac; and nose when sneez
ing and coughing. He staled that the
pncumococcus was present in the
throat and nose of many persons an.l
that it may be communicable by
coughing or sneezing.
Dr. Sternberg, who is the discoverer
of the pneuniococcus, or pneumonia
germs, doubted the practicability of
any method of fumigating or steri
izing a room in which the perms might
haificn to be. ' lie discovered the
germ in himself in 18,-no, and went to
j Philadelphia to complete his experi
! merits, and verified them in Europe.
I Dr. George M. Kober, of Washing
! ton. said that Washington was the
' only city not showing an increase in
i pneumonia, lie said tha alcholish in
I vites the disease, and that the negroes
I of whom there arc many in Wa'hing
: ton, arc not heavy drinkers, and to
' that fact he attributed the proportion
ately small number of pneumonia
' cases.
The symposium was held in an en
deavor to nun a way ot securing a
specific, either synthetic or serum, for
the treatment of the disease. The
speakers slated in most cases that
while pneumonia was not on the in
crease the mortality had not been
reduced. Having discovered the
germ, however, the medical profession
has had better understanding of the
disease and beneficial re-ults in its
treatment are anticipated.
Another matter of importance de
veloped at the meeting of the Section
of Pathology and Physiology. Dr.
M. Miyashima. of the Imperial Japan
ese Institute for the Investigation of
Infections Diseases in Tokio. who has
been sent bv his government "1 attncl
the St. Louis Exposition, delivered an
address on mah-.ria. He said that he
had investigated malaria in Japan and
Formosa, and ha. I discovered that
there is a moscuiito which conveys
only one f the three var:eties f ma
laria, and this is the malignant type.
The doctors of this country have al
was held the theory that all mos
ciuitoes carry the parasite of all va
rieties of malaria.
Dr. William 11 Welch, of Haiti
more, stated tint the inl'c rma'ion
furnished by the Japanese doctor was
of great importance, as it ripened up
a new line of observation and study
in malaria.
AMBASSADOR OSTRACIZED.
Mr. McCormick Badly Treated By Society In
Russia.
Berlin- ( Ry Cable). Reports from
a reliable source state that American
Ambassador McCormick -has been
severely persecuted by St. Petersburg j
society, owing to American sympathy i
w ith Japan. The ambassador has,
since his arrivan in the Russian capi- j
tal, resided in Lcuchtenburg palace, one '
of the most magnificent residences in
the city. Now, however, he has re-
ceived notice to quit. The owner of '
the palace is related to the Russian
imperial family and is reported to
have said : - 1
"My ancestors would turn in their
graves if ihey knew the family home
was inhabited by the representative
of a country which has tchown itself
hostile to Russia."
Society, according to the report, is
boycotting the McCormick family in
every way possible. Mrs. McCormick
is quoted as having expressed a desire
to leave Russia as soon as possible.
Russian anger is said to have been
increased because the American am
bassador and consuls undertook the
caring for Japanese interests after the
outbreak of the wa' with Japan.
Complaint is also made because
McCormick ostentatiously escorted M.
Kurino, the Japanese ambassador, to
the railway station and bade him an
effusive farewell.
In addition to all this, the con
clusion of treaties with regard to open
ports in .Manchuria on the very eve
of war is generally regarded as an
unfriendly act.
