Miners of the Anthracite Region May Battle With Capital. Shamokin, Pa., March 25.?Unless the efforts of the Civic Federation are effective with the coal operators it is more than likely that a repetition of the struggle of 1900 will occur in the anthracite region. In that year 40,000 employes of the anthracite mines were out on strike for six weeks. The convention today of districts Nos. 1, 7 and 9, United Mine Workers of America, which districts comprise the entire anthracite field, made a provisional strike declaration, leaving the date to be decided by the executive boards of the three districts. This was practically the last official act of the delegates and the convention adjourned sine die. The adoption of the resolution containing the ultimatum of the mineworkers was followed by a sceno of wild enthusiasm and the opera house rang with the acclamation of the delegates who, with lusty cheers, approved the work of the special resolutions' committee and expressed their confidence in President Mitchell.

Chicago, March 25.?The citizens of th? south end of Austiunengaged the employes of the Union "and Consolidated Traction company in a hand to hand fight for universal transfers, which Judge Hall has'dccided must bo given. Eighteen men. headed by W. E. Golden, a druggist, rode back and forth on the West Madison street lines, demanding transfers from the trolley to the cable and back again. They were refused, as had been expected, and the efforts of the street car crews to eject them from the cars resulted in two pitched battles, which tied up both lines for some time. In the battle Golden's back was sprained and he was otherwise injured. None of the others were hurt. A large number of suits against the .companies is one of the results threatened as a result of the fight. ALLEGED TO HAVE 13 WIVES. C. C. Nelson to be Tried at SL Joseph, Mo., for Bigamy.

Washington, March 25.?May M, 1902, 1b the new date fixed for turning ever the island of Cuba to its Deoole. The change of date was made, if not at the suggestion then with the full approval of President-elect Palma and his advisors, Senors Tamayji and Quosada, who were with him at the war department today. This date established a memorable one in Cuban history, for it will not only mark the acquisition of full independence, but will be the Cuban inauguration day, it having beon determined that President Palma should be inaugurated on the same day that American control of the Island ceases. All but the smallest details of the change In Cuba have been planned, and these remaining details were ander adjustment at a meeting held at the war department today. Besides Secretary Root, President Palma and Senors Tamaya and Quesada, General Wood attended. The meeting occurred in the secretary's office.

If this program is not executed it will he for the sole reason that the Cubans themselves, through their authorized officials, request that the departure of the United States troops be delayed for a time. ?

CHINESE REBELS ARE DEFYING THE DRAGON Revolution Spreading to All Parts of Empire; BRISI3 IS FAST APPROACHINQ Psr.ign Domination Has Displeased the Boxers?They Also Allege Domestic Treachery and Have Threatened to Overthrow the Powers. Victoria, B. .C., March 26.?Marcus O. Hill, a Yokohama merchant, who arrived on the steamer Kago Maru, Is said to be carrying orders to New York for arms and ammunition for the rebels in southern China. Mr. Hill, In an interview, says that if the cable reports of the capture of six cities by the rebels is correct, tho movement, which is under Dr. Sunyatsen, will be successful. Before leaving for America Mr. Hill saw tho rebel leader and was told by him that 60,000 troops were all readv to loin the rebellion and would bring with them modern arms and ammunition. Recruits are flocking to the rebel standard and their hope is to reach the city of Canton. Hero they ex- j pect to get sufficient ammunition and arms and treasure to caiTy on the rebellion, which will eventually result in the overthrow of the reigning pow- ' er in China. Dr. Sunyatsen believes j the time opportune for the rebellion, | the Chinese being dissatisfied with the foreign domination of the country. When the Kagu Maru left thousands of refugees were flocking into Kwang- j tung in advance of the rebels and the following dispatch describes the condition prevailing in Kwansl: "According to statements of refugees arriving at Kwangtung from Nannlng Fuh and Yulin Chow, the whole province of Kwansi is in a state of revolution, the number of insurgents I being estimated at 50,000. The various Tillages undor the jurisdiction of Yulin Chow have been sacked and burned down. The imperialist section ia devoid of Influence. The insurgents are possessed of arms of the new model. "Since the return of the Chinese court to Peking 9,000,000 taels, the aggregate sum of the tribute from different provinces, has been exhausted.

The waters of the river Watarase, In Japan, have been polluted through the working of the Ashaio copper mine and some 300.000 people who draw their supply from this river are in dire distress. Recently a mob of 4.000 men, women and children started for Toklo to demand redress of the minister, but the majority were stopped on the way by the police and soldiery and only 100 reached the capital.

SIR GOLDIE TALKS OF I SOUTH AFRICAN WAR Real Difficulty In the Pathway to Peace. THE QUESTION OF AMNESTY Vague Promises of the British Government Have Not the Slightest Weight With Fighting Burghers In Their Present State of Mind. London, March 25.?Sir Georgo Goldle, vice president of the Royal Geographical society and founder of Nigeria, who has just returned from a thorough investigation of South Africa, where he conferred with Lord Miiner, Lord Kitchener, Cecil Rhodes, Sir Walter Hely-Hutchinson, the governor of the Cape of Good Hope and numbers of other inlluential men, brings home rather pessimistic ideas of the general situation from a British point of view. The conditions in Cape Colony he regards as especially dangerous, and he considers that the most serious British dillicultics will he encountered there in the future, as at present. In the course of an interview with a representative of the Associated Press Sir George Goldie, while recognizing J the possible independence of Acting President Schalk-Burger, said he was convinced that the question of peace or war rests in tne Hands of President Steyn and that Mr. -Kruger and the other Boers in Europe no longer represent Boer opinion. Tlie real difficulty in the path of peace, he believes, is the question of granting amnesty to the Cape and Natal rebels, and Sir George says the vague promises of the British government have not the slightest weight while the fighting burghers are in their present state of mind. Sir Georgo advocates granting amnesty to the rebels, hut he insists that every one must be disfranchised for life. This, he declares, would go far toward allaying the bitterness of the loyalists. Sir George deprecates any attempt te permit the use of a dual language. He says English alone must be the official language, and adds that the fact that practically the whole of the rising generations of the two republics are now In the concentration camps and are rapidly learning English will be of great aid in this direction. He estimates that at least 100,000 armed men will be needed in South Africa for some years after the conclusion of peace. Sir Georgo failed to meet any Boers who yet recognized that they had been finally beaten, though some of them admitted that they had been temporarily overweighted by numbers. Amsterdam, March 25.?Abraham Fischer, the Boer delegate, in an interview today, gives a variety of reasons why the Boers in the field should be in a mood to continue the war rather than accept terms less advantageous than previously demanded. The latest report from President Steyn, received under date <*f Feb. 15, says: "Last year we fought hopefully; now we are fighting with confidence, not to the bitter end, but to a happy end." The Boer forces have plenty of eyerything except clothing. Wolvenhoeck, Orange River Colony, Monday, March 24.?The train having on board Acting President Selialk-Bur. ger and his party passed this place, on its way to Kroonstadt, yesterday. The Transvaal government officials were accompanied by Captain Marker, Lord Kitchener's aide-de-camp, and five other members of the staff of the British commander-in-chief in South Africa. The impression here is that the Transvaalers favor a general surrender of the Boer forces. Plenty of Tarpon. Port Lauderdale, Fla., March 25.? Fishing is at Its height here now. L. H.

New York,-March 25.?With her coal and wator supply almost exhausted, the steamer Nord America has arrived here. She had been forced to put into Bermuda on her way from Genoa and Naples, much to the relief of her 42 cabin and 1,300 steerage passeng<^*^ who had lived for days In fear of aTsT aster. Among the passengers was Frederick Taylor, a fellow of the Royal Geographical society, who for the last 16 months has been traveling in Borneo, Japan, China and Hawaii. "We were but one day out from Naples when the first storm struck us." said Taylor. "The heavy sea washed over the vessel's decks. The ship had a small cargo and rolled heavily. I "The immigrants were lounging al?| over the decks, exposed to the elements. and mothers with babes in their arms were drenched to the skin by the seas which kept breaking over the decks. "On the night of March 18 the vessel was able to make small headway against the furious storm. Every sea that struck the ship shook her from stem to stern, and the crying and wailing of the immigrants, who were panic stricken, made it a night of horror for us all. jta "The captain did his best to calm--*> tne immigrants' fears, hut it was of no avail, an<l after a consultation of the officers it wns decided to steer for Bermuda. When the America reached Hamiltou the coal had run short and the fresh water supply had nearly given out." CUBAN POSTAL FRAUDS. Rathbone and His Pals Are Heavily Punished for Same.
