VIRDEN, Ills., Oct. 18.-The little town of Virden is now comparatively quiet after a day of riot ana bloodshed, the long expeoted clash betweeu the union miners and imported negroes. At 12:40 o'clock a Chicago and Alton speoial train bearing 200 negro miners from the South arrived at the stockade around the Chicago-Virden Coal com pany's mines and immediately a ter. rifio firing began. The list, as far as known, stands seven dead and eight een wounded. The dead are: ED WELSH, Springfield. FRANK BILYEU, Springfleldi ALBERT SMITH, Mount Olive. JOE KITTEHLIN, Mount O.ive. ERNEST KNUTNEK, Mount Olive. A. H. BIIENNAN, Mount Olive. D. H. KILEY, Chicugo and Alton deteo tive. The wounded, mostly miners, are as follows: Ansk Ankel, Mount Olive Gustav Weisevep, Mount Olive Ed Upton, Springfield Thomas Jennings, Spring field Joe Hainos, Girard Joe Runk, Girard George Runk, Girard William Hcrnan, Girard Joe Baston, Mount Olive Joe Sprim,. Mount Olivo Bart Tlgar, engineer, Chicago and Alton J. K. Eyster, superintendent, Climax Trad ing company. Miner. War* Awaiting Tbem. For the past two weeks rumors have reaohed Virden daily that a train hav* ing negroes from Alabama would reaoh the city and the Chicago and Alton depot has been surrounded day and night by vigilant miners determinedly awaiting their arrival. When the Chicago and Alton limited passed about 10 a. m., displaying flags on the rear indicating that a speoial was fol lowing, the word was spread and a dense crowd of miners lined the sta tion platform, while another crowd colleoted at the entrance cf the stook ade, a half mile north of the station. D. B. Kiley, a Chicago and Alton de tective, stood guard at the switch at the north end of the station platform to see it was not tampered with. At 12:40 p. m. the train appeared at the north end aud Bhots were fired from the south end announcing the special arrival. Immediately shots were fired from the train and tho battle was on. Soon the train had arrived at the north end 01 the switch where Kiley was standing. He was talking with two compun.ous when suddenly he threw up his hands und fell with a Ballet Through Hie lira In. He was the first man killed. The min* era were firing into tho train and the negro passengers were returning the fire. As soon as the train reached the stockade there ensued a desperate fight with firearms of all description. The negroes kept up a steady fire and the carnage of battle reigned. The miners and the train were enveloped in a cloud of smoke and the shooting sounded liko a continuous volley. En. gineer Burt Tigar received a bullet in his arm and dropped from his seat. His firemau seized the throttle, palled it open, and with a jerk tho train was under full speed, carrying the load of wounded negroes to Springfield. The tra'n stopped at the stockade only two minutes. Its departure did not cause the firing to ccase. The towor of the stockade was filled with sharpshooters, armed with Winchesters, and they kept up a steady fire into the crowd of union miners. Eye wituesses say tbe dead miners were killed af:er ihe train had deprated. It is not known how man men are stationed behind the walls of the stockade, but an estimate is plaoed between 26 and 80.

Louck, president, and Mr. Luikcns, superintendent, of the Virden Coal company have mado good their threats to land a trainload of imported laborers from the South and attempted to put them to work in their mines at .tho point of tho bayonet and the muzzle of the Winchesters, such laborers being drawn largely, if not entirely, from the criminal class, ex-convlcts who learned their trade while doing terms in tho peni tentiaries of Alabama, ufter having been fully advised and having full knowledge that tho binding of such imported labor ers would precipitate a riot. I had wired that if they brought these imported labor ers they did so at their own peril and un der the circumstances would be morally responsible and criminally liable for any thing that might happen. THE MANAGER'S OPTION. Governor Tanner Held Responsible bj Mining Company Officials. VIRDBN, Ills., Oct. 18.—Manager Luikens of the Virdeu-Chicago Coal company in an interview says: "The blood of these men lies on the liead of the governor. He is without justification whatever.

At the exposition grounds the presi dent was escorted to an immense plat form and addressed the thousands gathered there. After he had given doe thanks for his reoeption and had paid tribute to the aims and character of the Transmississippi exposition, he touched upon the war and its outcome, saying: "Confronted at this moment by new and grave problems, we must recog nise that their solution will affeot, not ourselves alone, but others of the fam ily of nations. "In this ago of friquent interchange and mulnal dependency, we cannot shirk our international responsibilities if we would they must bo met with courage and Wisdom, aud we must fol low du^y even it deBire Favored by Providence. "The faith of a Christian nation rec ognizes the hand of Almighty God in the ordeal through whioh we have passed. Divine favor seemed manifest everywhere. In fighting for human ity's sake we have been signally blessed. We did not seek war. To avoid it-, if this-oould be done in jus. tice aud honor to the rights of our neighbors and ourselves, was our con stant prayer. The war was no more invited by us than were the questions which are laid at our door by its_ re sults. Now, as then, we will do our duty. The problems will not bo solved in a day. Patience will be required patienoe combined with sincerity of purpose and unshaken resolution to do right, seeking only the highest good of the nation, and recoguizing no other obligation, pursuing no other path but that of duty. "Right aotion follows right purpose. We may not at all times be able to divine the future the way may not always seem dear but if our aims are high and unselfish, somehow and in some way the right end will be reached. The geniu of the nation, its wisdom, its humanity, its rocrage, its justice, favored by divine Providence, will make it equal to every task and the master of every emergency." MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. rreaence of Spaniards In Cuba Will Not Affect tbe Situation. WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—When the attention of the war department was called to the statement made in Mad rid that a strong force of Spanish troops would be kept in Cuba until the treaty of peace had been signed, it was simply stated that there had been and would be no change in the orders to the United States troops and that the instructions to the American military commission in Havana to take posses sion of the island Deo. ), irrespective of the preBcnce or absence of the Span ish officials, would be rigorously ad hered to. The Spanish troops may stay in Cuba for a time after that date if evacuation is not complete, but they will be no longer the masters of the island and United States offioials will administer all of its affairs.
