carrying surgeons and assistants was im
mediately Bent to the scene.

3MINE SUSPENSION SUCCESSFUL.
Creditable AImi, Mr. Ilntchford Says,
Because of Its Peaceful nes.
Columbus, Aug. 3. President Tarms,
of the Ohio Miners, is here in conference
with President Rntchford, having just
come from We-t Virginia. He does not
speak very hopefully or the prospect there
Notwithstanding the great effort that Is
belug made by the miners there, there
are still a gicat many mines in operation.
When President Hatch ford was asked about
the strike condition and the prospect of
success, howeer, he said:
"The miners' suspension Is not onlv a
success, but a credit to thoRe engaged
In It. It ip successful because of the large
number engaged in it. and the good
feeling which has marked their actions
throughout, aud creditable because of the
peaceiblc manner In which they have con
ducted themselves, even under the most
trying circumstances. Every indication
points to the fact that the movement has
not yet reached Its greatest force neither
In public Interest in it nor in numbers
engaged In it.
"Organized labor everywhere has taken
up the fight, and unless a settlement is
reported within the next two weeks, a
genera' paralvsts of all branches of trade
may be expected. Mills and factories de
pendent upon a coal supply must, of ne
cessity, closn down, and it is impossible
to tril what the end will be, as all
brai.ches of labor is discontented and
have grievances of their own. Injunctions
will not prevent them from asserting their
rights."

Chicago, Aug. 3. The Journal today

letter written by Senator Cullom to a
prominent Illinois man: "I have not been
able to get the President in a single in
stance In the selection of consuls to listen
to what I had to say and carry out my
wishes.
"1 am utterly disgusted at the way
things have been going here In the way
of consulships. I have never known any
thing Uke It. I believe the appointments
that have been made for Chicago were
all promised byllanna aud McKinley before
llieelection, probably before the convention.
"I have labored with the President,
talked with him and told him the gaug he
was appointing wa& not worth a snap
either for politics or anything else.
"He had never allowed the State Depart
ment to settle a single consulship. He
gives his orders to the department for the
selection of his men, and they cairy out
his program "
A lr-tter written by a prominent resident
of Washington to the same IllinoWan cred
its Cullom with sajlng: "McKinley seems

Havana, Aug 3j-4The proposals for
peace made by GenVweylerto Gen Gomez
to discuss which thg captain general asked
the privilege or aniantcrvicw, which Gen.
Gomez icfused to grant, were embodied in
the lollowing four articles-
riist. The insurgents to lay down their
anis in the six provinces of the island.
Second All insuigents now In arms to
be pardoned by Spon, and facilities af
forded them to leave the Island or to fix
their residence In any part or Cuba where
they may -wish to jive.
Third Cubans abroad in sympathy with
the rcolution, or engaged in foreign coun
tries in helping the insurgent army, to
be pardoned by Spain and means given
to the poor among them to return to their
native land. i
FdUrth Home rule to be granted by
Spain to Cuba. Under this new system,
the Cuban municipalities will be authorised
to control their .finances. A general as
sembly, in which, the six proInces shall
be repress nted, according to their popula
tion, will have the control of all municipal
and proincial arf airs.
The captaln-generalf will preside over
this l)od;, and lra.e a right to veto its de
cision", but ull decisions shall be finally
submitted to the minister of tl'e colonies
a, Madrid. The captain-general will elect
all civil eniploj es except heads of depart
ments, but he will in all ca-es submit to
the ministry three names of candidates t
for each inipmtanfr position. The minister
at Madud v,-ill appoint one among the
thr-.-e proposed. Cuba villpay tkeexrenses

service in Cuba, the extent of the scivlco
to be decided by the ministry of the colonies.
All possible efrorts will be made to tatlsfy
the lalms of Cuban comtnei ce andindustry
with regard to thetaTiff-
The above plan is said to be a step
in advance of the earlier scheme of re
forms proposed by the government. Not
a word is said in this scheme about the
debt or nearly $500,000,000, but Cuba
is made responsible for this debt, after
the conclusion of peace, In all the con
tracts signed by the Spanish government
with money lenders. Furthermore, the
whole plan leaves the fate of the Cubans
absolutely in the hands of the captain
general and the Madrid government, as
it hasalways been.
As The Times' correspondent has al
Teadv announced, Gen. Gomez rejected
the proposals with scorn, and there is
not a Cuban in'he field who would accept
them'. , Z
In Havana, tile uncompromising Span
iards: and the Majcouis of Montoro, a Cuban
by birth, but.. retired in Madrid and full
of Spanisn syipthiee, are the only per
sons to weleomevthe so-called home rule

that Canoa.s and Sagasta have agreed
to stop thelt political dissensions with

Amiricau minister is going to do. Ac
cording to i- dispatch from Madrid re

Honolulu. July 27, via San Francisco.
Aug. 3. In high official circlta It in un
derstood that next week will see the
Stars and Stripes afloat over Honolulu?
for the first time since Paramount Blount
hauled down the flag raised by Minister
Stevens. The story, apparently weil au
thenticated is that, in case the steam
ship Moana, due from the coast tomorrow.,
brings news that Congress had adjourned
without taking action upon annexation,
Minister Sewell has Instructions from hi3
Government to rah-e the American pag.
over th governmeiit buildingi aneCde
tlare the Republic ot Hawaii under 'the"
protection or the United States. The
story comes rrom theiunermost official
circles, and it -was said to your corre-,
spondent that the thing would rarely be
done on August 2.0 . T
Admiral Beardsiee will be oirkand with
bis marines and bluejackets, to add pres
tige to the occasion. The Hawaiian na
tional guard will also be under arms and
ready for action, and the citizens guard,
still a larger body ot trained men, will be
notified to be ready to respond if called
upon.
A protectorate is to be declared, so the
Mory g-jes, because the Hawaiian govern
ment iIoph not feel that it can stand alone
during the long months that must elapse
before Congress meets again In pecemher.
Tbe opinion is. however, almost universal
here that the Moana will bring news that
annexation is victorious. Everything la
in readiness Tor a grand celebration ot the
event.
Ex-United States Minister Dun, who is
on his way home from Japan, passed
tnrough here tcdayon the steamer Belglc.
He expressed the opinion that the islands
aie too small and unimportant to consider
when annexation might cause the rupture
or friendly relations between the United
