THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED MINE WORKERS OF AMERICA DECLARES THAT THE STRIKE IS I AT AN END AND THAT 75,000 MINERS RETURNED TO WORK YESTERDAY -HE STILL lANTICI j PATES SOME TROUBLE IN THE WEST VIRGINIA FIELDS. Washington. 'Sept. 21.?M. D. Hntch ford, president, of the United Mine Work? ers of America, who is here to attend a nprcial meeting of the oflicers of the American Federation of Labor, to-day gave out the following statement: "To-day will see about 70,000 miners resume work in the bituminous coal fields ot the Central States. The strike sener ally ends to day. This is the middle of the twelfth week of its duration. It was brought to a close at our convention held at Columbus on the 8th to the 11th of the present month?ten days time beiug given t > allow the miners and operators to come together, Illinois and West Vir? ginia to meet the prices fixed?05 cents a ton in the Pittsburg district and 50 cents a ton in Ohio and Indiana, the same to continue until the end of December. "The mining situation is not likely to become disturbed again until the begin? ning of next yeiir. at which time we will be able to set tie all differences niuicably without the necessity of a strike. "It is well understood that the light will continue froni^tbo "present time in all the fields and against all operators who refuse to meet the fixed rates. "The greatest trouble is expected In West Virginia and portions of Illinois. I am still hopeful, however, Jthnt the oper? ators of those fields wilPput their mines in full operation with union men. Fail? ing to do this we'will fight them as we have done until the beginning of next year, nt which time, it is said, tlielr pres? ent contracts expire." WILL SURRENDER TO NO MOB. Assistant Postm: ster General Rjlstow's Remarks on the Hogausville Incident. Washington, Sent. 21.?"The Govern? ment of the United States will not sur? render to any mob, great or small," said Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Hristow to day. He added: "This de? partment has appointed a postmaster for Hogausville, (la. He is of African des? cent, lie bus been murderously assault? ed. If he lives he will retain his office." On December lb, 1870, President Grant discontinued the Presidential postollice at Grenada, Miss., because the people tbeie would not permit the Rerubliean postmaster to fulfill his duties. It is probable that the Hogausville postofiice will be discontinued unless the citizens there cease their flawless efforts to pre? vent the postmaster from attending to his duties.* In spite of the la\vlessness~at Hngnnf vllle, Judson Lyons, a colored man, is here pressing his candidacy for the post mastership at Augusta,"Ga. *He says that ho is willing to take his life in his hands If the President will 'appoint him. <*. >i.

At CATOGNPS. OS, VA., WEDNESl HAZLETON STRIKE ENDED. Victory for the Operators?War? rants for Deputies. Hazleton, Pa., Sept. 21.?Unless un? foreseen developments occur, the anthra? cite coal strike in this region is ended. To-day 12,000 men?half of tho full com? plement?went to work at the Honey Brook coll'ery of tho Benign and Wilkes harre company, as cid ;30O of the 1,300 at Pardees Latimer mines, while the Cran berry, Crystal ltidge aud Harwood col? lieries, of the same company, uud the Coxe ccllieries are also at work. j The employes of the Hazel mines of the Lehtgh Valley Company are to-uight con- j sidering the question of returning in the i morning, and will probably do so. Nearly 5,000 strikers have returned, or will do so to-morrow, and a little less than that number are st'U out, with indications in favor of their joining the workers. The only incidents of to-day were small outbreaks at Latimer aud Rckicy, both of which were quickly subdued by Sheriff Martin and his deputies. At Latimer the women attacked the workers with stonea and clubs. The raid looked forb'd'Mng for a time, until three companies of the Thirteenth Regiment, with fixed bayo? nets, had pressed back and dispersed the crowns. A number of Butler Valley miners who wanted to return to work tit Latimer were tlrlveu back by a body of armed strikers, who met them as they came over the mountain, a mile or more from camp. The disturbance at'Eckley was an attempt by strikers to intimidate the men who wanted to work, and was also quieted down by the troops without violence. The brenk of the- strike is practically a victory for the operators, as In only one or two instances have tho demands of the men beim granted, although several com? panies have promised to consider the grievances. 'J he warrants fcr the arrest of Sheriff Mnrtin and his deputies vrere issued to? day by Judges Lynch and Bennett at Wllkesbarre. They were served here to? night, and uo resistance was made. The writs contain seventy-eight names, in? cluding the sheriff's, and .the latter has agreed to( deliver all th<? deputies for a hearing to-morrow. A company of the Ninth Regiment will escort them to Wllkesbarre. General Gobln permitted the service of the writs,because he thinks the civil authorities are now ab'e to keep the peace.

Judge Jackson Makes Comments in De? ciding Against Debs. Wheeling, W. Va., Sept. 21.?The fea? ture of interest iu tho openiug session of the September term of the United States court for the ^district "of West Virginia was tho application of ex-Governor A. B. Fleming, of Fairmont.^to make the in? junction against Eugene V. Debs and others perpetual. The governor was act? ing for his client, the Mouougah Coal Company, and, as there 'was no appear? ance for any of the defendants, the in? junction was made perpetual. In the course of his reninrKs iu making this de? cision, Judge Jackson said that if a like case were presented to him now ht would mike the same kind of order he hail made at Parkersbnrg, where the temporary injunction was issued re? cently. Continuing, be slid: , "There is no reason why tho rights of property owners should not bo protected by t he courts. These owners invested large sums of money in their plant at Muuongnh, and the bill for injunction alleged tbe defendants were about to do things that would lessen the value of the property, and possibly destroy it. The injunction abridged no right of the min? ers, did not interfere with tho right of free speech, and was a carefully prepared and well considered^order. "I instructed my oflicers, iu taking that injunction to serve it, to stand be? hind it like the"soldier 'behind the for? tress, but to keep within the lines of tbe injunction, and not t'? extend or step be? yond it, and do nothing except exactly that which was required."

London, Sept. 21.?The Glo!)* this af? ternoon, iu an editorial on the futility of arbitration with a power "which disre? gards alike the legal prescriptions an 1 ordinary courtesies of civilized nations," says: IV Lord Salisbury has treated the United States with a kindness they .do not de serve.always wearing the silk glove.until America has forgotten the existence of the iron hand beneath It." In conclusion tbe Globe remarks: "The idea of our being afraid of a fourth-rate power like tho United btates could only have occurred to suflerers fron, a severe attack of swelled head. sYmerica has lost all ?tnse of proportion and has forgotten she plays only a minor role iu the affairs of the world. We hope on- relations with America will hereafter be distinguished by a lirmer tone,as the only way to avert I ttouble is to make her plainly understand that we are determined not to be shouted out of our right"."

JAY, SEPTEMBER ANXIETY JN SPAIN. Powers Not Likely to Aid the Mad? rid Government. WOODFORD AND DUKE OF TE TUAN?THEIR CONFERENCE OF SUNDAY LEADS TO A REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES HAS DELIVERED AN ULTIMATUM RE? GARDING THE WAR IN CUUA. THIS IS AUTHORITATIVELY DE? NIED IN WASHINGTON. London, Sept. 21.?A dispa'ch to the Standard from San Sebastian says: ''The government will 'take its time to reply to United States Minister Wood ford, and will probably lay the case be? fore the European powers in the shape of an exhaustive exposition of the whole matter. Hut last year tho foreign oflico ascertained that the sympathies uf tho powers were not likely to go beyond pla tonic censure of the conduct of the Uni? ted Stat'-s. Much anxiety is noticeable in court and official circles." Paris, Sept. 21.?A dispatch from San Sebastian to the 'Hemps, of this city, says that in his interview Sunday with the Duke of Tetuau, the Spauish Minister of Foreign Affairs, the United States Min? ister to Spain. Gen. Stewart L. Woorltord, did not present any claim for indemnity, but con lined ?he interview to a moderate phrase in the statement of the great In? juries commerce and industry had suffered in the United States through the prolongation of the Cuban war. Gen. Wood ford is said to have added that Sec? retary Sherman had deslied him to de? clare to the Spanish government that it was evidently impossible for Spain to end the rebellion in a reasonable time, and further, that if the war was contin? ued Cuba would be devastated and of uo utility to Spain or to the Cubaus. In conclusion, the United Stntes minister is reported to have insisted, courteously but firmly upon the necessity ol terminating the war, declariug that if it was not ter? minated by the end of October the United Stntes would feel justified in taking measures to secure tho independence of Cuba. The Duke of Tetuan, according to tho dispatch to the Temps, while protesting against alleged~Ameriean "pretensions," said he would reply officially to the Uni? ted States minister when the Spanish court returns to Madrid. Madrid, Sept. 2.?In oflicial circles here the greatest secrecy is maintained regard? ing the United States [ultimatum, which is looked upon as bound to cause a great sensation iu Europe? and to have the greatest consequences for Spain. While not intending it, it is .believed the action of tho United States has greatly facili? tated a solution of the ministerial crisis, and there will be a reorganization of the Conservatives under Gen. A'/carrntia, the premier, and Don Francisco Silvella, the leader of t he Dissident Conservatives. Washington, Sept. 21. ? United States Minister WoodTord has reported to tho fttiUe Department the fact that ho had a conlerence in Madrid on Sunday with the Duke of Tetuan, Spanish minister of for? eign affairs. The State Department de? clines to make known the nature of Min? ister Woodfor?"s report. It can be stated authoritatively, how? ever, in reference to the Pails publica? tion, purporting to give the substance of General Woodfonl's communication to the Duke of Tetuan, that there has been n misapprehension on several important po'nts, notably in respect to an ultima? tum and the setting of a time limit for the conclusion of the war. Instead of fixing the end of October next as the date for the termination of the war, that par? ticular date was mentioned [as the time when the Spanish court would return to Madrid from San Sebastian, and when, consequently, it might he iu order to re? turn an answer (o the latest representa? tions of the United States Government thtough Mr. Woodford. It is declared at the State Department that while Mr. Woodford did, according to the. original idea of his instructions, set out the deep interest tho United States bail In wit? nessing a cessation of the deplor.iblo con lltctin Cuba, ho did not deliver himself of an ultin atum, but simply made a state? ment of our deep interest in a settlement of the Cuban war as a reasonable expla? nation for intervening iu any manner at this time. Mr. Woodfonl's telegram regarding his conference tvith the duke of Tetuan is now before President McKinley. That nothing so important as .iii ultimatum has been delivered to Spain is evident from the fact that President McKinley anil members of the Cabinet are going away to-nleht on a vacation. If a crisis were believed to be Impend'ug t his exo? dus would hardly occur. Sandy I?. FlffKUt iV Co. NEW MINISTER TO ECUADOR. Archibald .1. Sampson, of Arizona, Ap? pointed to Fill the Post.
