There was no alternative orrerea in

Li the session was consequently very
Iripf. The American commissioners
Lie received dispatches from Wash-
biton Indicating tnat tne administra
tes Is irritated and Indignant over
lie delay of the Spanish commissioners
I The Paris correspondent of The
trate says: At the sitting of the
ice commission Monday afternoon
be American commissioners officially
Lad It would seem definitely re)ect
M the Idea of accepting sovereignty
Irer Cuba for the United States. The
Vnulsh commissioner thereupon re-
kvked that Spain, having abandoned
tck sovereignty under pressure from
1 United State and the United
lutes having denied that aoverelgnty
ftenceforth belong to them, Cuba Is
tfarto in a state of anarchy, as an
ittnnlislon f sovereignty cannot b
iewed lnahy other light.
The American commissioner rejoined
it, without acoeptlng sovereignty.
be United States considered them-
Tc-'eputed and botind to maintain
tty for all the Inhabitants, that
jtj would not fall to Introduce and
I'ptiold order, and, in short, that they
ould do all that was necessary to
jral the Island as speedily a possible
to 1 state of normal organisation, to be
transformed at the earliest moment
Into a legal regularity satisfactory for
the security of all.
Upon this the Spanish commissioners,
with what seems striking logic,
promptly replied that by the fact of
the declaration Just made them and for
the United States undertaking to re
store legality, order and security, the
United States were Invested with ver
itable sovereignty, and consequently
could not refuse to accept the conse
quences of such aoverelgnty, seeing
that they admittedly placed Cuba un
to their supervision and direction.
notwithstanding these striking ob
jections the American commissioners
pmlited in their refusal, and officially
felared that tbe United State can
not be considered invested with sov
trelgnty and that they (the commis
loners) could not deviate from this
declaration. .

STtOE HOT AT VIXCEIf,
Foarteeo Killed In Battle) Between
Miner and Deputies.
Vlrden. OcU It. The Uttle town of
Vlrden la comparatively quiet after
Wednesday' rioting and bloodshed, the
long expected clash between the union
miner and Imported negroes. At 11:40
o'clock the Chicago and Alton special
train, bearing 200 negro miner from
the south, arrived at the stockade
around the Chicago-Vlrden Coal com
pany's mines and Immediately the ter
rific firing began. The list stand 14
daxd and Z0 wounded, including 11
miners.
Wednesday the Chicago and Alton
limited due to pass here at 10 o'clock
shot through en route to Chicago an
hour late, displaying flags on the rear
indicating that a special was following.
Immediately the word was spread, and
a dense crowd of miners collected at
the entrance of the stockade' a half
mile north of the station. D. B. Klley,
a Chicago and Alton detective, stood
guard at a switch at the south end
of the station platform, to see it waa
not tampered with. He wa the first
man killed when the firing commenced.
When the train arrived in sight shots
were fired by a miner as a signal to
the strikers in waiting. Immediately,
It is said, the deputies on the train
fired at the crowd of strikers, and then
the firing became general. The train
remained but two minutes at the stock
ade, and no attempt waa made to un
load the Imported miners. When En
gineer Burt Tlgar received a bullet In
his arm and dropped from his seat his
fireman opened the throttle and ran
the train to Springfield, carrying eight
wounded men.
Governor Tanner declaren that the
company la responsible for the massa
cre, as hhi warning against importing
men had been Ignored. The company
holds the governor responsible, "as he
incited the strikers to acts of violence."
Last night the company brought two
more carloads of negroes to the mines.
but Captain Fevier, In command of
tbe militia, refused to allow them to

STEAMER BURNED, NINE LOST.

Margate, Eng.. Oct. 18. The British
ship Blengfell, Captain Johnston, from
New York for London, was destroyed
by a sudden fire off this place early In
the morning. Nine of those on board.
Including the captain, pilot, the cap
tain's wife and child, and the first and
second mates lost their lives. The sur
vivors were landed here and at Dover.
The Blengfell was passing here, In
tow, on her way to London, at about
8:30 a. m., and was about four milea oft
the coast. Suddenly she was enveloped
In flames, and smoke poured from her
hatchways. Two lifeboats Immediately
put off to her assistance, but before
they were able to reach the burning
vessel her masts fell and she wa burn
ed to the water' edge. Her hull event
ually drifted upon the Goodwin Sanda
The Blengfell had a quantity of naph
tha on board, and the smell of It was
strong during the voyage, especially
aft, so much so that the officers of the
ship had to shift their quarters. An
rx plosion occurred Just as the captain
of the Hk'MKfrtll had engaged the ser
vices of n tug, which saved the sur
vivors. The vessel burned so quickly
that her crew had no time to lower the
boats.

TQE WRECKED MOHEGAN
Ninety-five Livos Lost Off -Britain's
Stormy Coast.
TEE BBAVEET, OF TEE SAILORS.
None of Them Made any Effort to Es
eape In the Lifeboats, and the Gal
lant Officer Went Down With Their
Doomed Veaael.
London, Oct. 17. The steamer Mohe
fan, of the Atlantic Transfer company,
was wrecked last Friday evening. Of
the 144 person on board. Including 61
passengers, (6 were lost The total num
ber of bodies thus far recovered Is C6.
Many persons undonbtedly were kill
ed by being dashed on the rocks who
would have escaped It cast ashore on
an ordinary coast. Some of the bodies
are horribly mangled.
The cause of the disaster remains the
profoundest mystery. Nobody attempts
to explain how the Mohegan got so
far north of her true course from six
to seven miles. There was no fog at
the time, while the wind on her port
quarter waa not sufficient to prevent
her answering the helm. It has been
suggested that the compass was faulty,
but daylight lasted long 1 f ter Eddy
stone light waa passed. The sailors
say the fact that the Lizard light was
not visible should have served to give
the alarm.
Remurkable stories of rescues con
tinue. Robert Barrow, a seaman, per
formed the feat of swimming unaided
through the roughest water to Cove
rack Point, a distance of two and one
half miles. He climbed up the ragged
cliff, where a searching party found
him early the next morning completely
exhausted. A. C. L. Smith, of Oregon,
a passenger, surrendered to a woman
In the water wreckage that was sup
porting him and swam ashore unaided.
The wnmn was saved.
The crew, in a chivalrous effort to
save the women, made the mistake of
undermannlng the boat. There were
only four sailors In one boat, which
capslsed as soon as it was launched.
Messrs. Bmlth and Bloomlogdale say
that Captain Griffiths had appeared 111
all day.
The heroism of the English mast
patrol and the discipline of the Saxon
sailors eftmnd out boldly. The Mohegan
smashed -upon the rock at the Man
acles off the Llsard at 7 o'clock Friday
evening while the passengers) were at
dinner.
From trie best evidence obtainable at
St. Kewrlne It appears that the Mo
hegan frmndered five ml notes after she
struck the rocks. She was going at
full eipeed, struck twice, stopped and
rapidly eettled Into the water. As the
captain and the executive officers of
the steamer went down with her it has
been impossible thus far to ascertain
how she got out of her course, as Fal
mrmft fJtfrht and the coast were vis
ible. ITXsTxT was ready and Captain Grif
fith was about-to proceed to the sa
loon when a sudden crash made tt ap
parent that the steamer had gone
ashore. The captain Immediately went
on deck, end the survivors say they
saw him on the bridge doing all In his
power to lessen the disaster.
There waa a rush for the boats, bat
the officers stood firm and put the
women aboard first. Captain Grtfflt
stuck to his post on the bridge shouting
orders through a trumpet until he went
down with tne ship. One passenger
cut away the (alls of a lifeboat with a
razor and thtm saved several Uvea.
As soon as the Mohegan struck the
shrieks of the passenger, were wafted
ashore and the Port Houstock Ufeboat
