May 16.—The tug Spray with Colonel Gay nor and Captain Greene on board, arrived In Montreal at 3:10 o’clock this morning.

The detectives agreed to allow Colo nel Gay nor and Captain Greene stay at the Windsor until the court proceedings began, when application will be made for their release on bail Donald MacMaster, who represents the United States government, arriv ed at the Windsor about 6 o’clock and held a hurried consultation with Pc tectivr* Caipenter and Marlon Erwin, the Georgia district attorney. It was agreed that Detective Car pentor should keep In seclusion until the prisoners had been brought into court, as ho, being charged with tlu execution of warrants, would be the one upon whom the writ of habeas cor pus would be served. No one has been allowed to speak to the prisoners thus far. At 7 o’clock the regular Quebec boat arrived, bringing the Quebec de tectives and lawyers and Mrs. Gavnor who. when they saw their chase or the river was fruitless, took the rogu lar Montreal boat at Sorel. Several of the detec tives, including Chief D< tective Walsh, came to the Windsor to sec that the prisoners were not spirited away again, and others, head ed by High Constable Gab', went in search of Chief Carpenter to serve the writs of habeas corpus on him.

Hazelton, Pa., May 16—The great coal strike was inaugurated perma nently last evening and is now’ in full Torce. There wore no developments previous 16 the reassembling of the convention in secret session shortly lt'tr 0 o’clock this morning. From the gossip of the dedegates, it ig expected that the proposition to call out the mine engineers, firemen and mmp runners, thus endangering the •»afety of the mines, will meet with as nuch opposition as did the motion to nake the strike permanent. Those who advoc ated the continued suspension of work are as a rule of calling out the se men. The nore c onst i vative mine* workers feai hat to call out the protectors of the nines would be a boomerang that night prove extremely costly to the nin«*rs. it is argued by them that he United Mine Workers’ organiza tion has all along followed the policy _>f assisting the companies in protect ;ng their property. If the convention decides to call out 'ho engineers, firemen and pumpmen ind runneis. it is not certain that the irders will be obeyed by all this class if min*' workers. President Mitch-11 stated most cm phaticaily today that the report that x telegram lrom Senator Hanna was read in the convention hcfoie the vote was taken on the strike question is absolutely untrue. Mr. Mitche ilso brands as false the statement that he had been -visited by a ropre senfative of .Senator Hanna with th proposition that the miners accept a per cent Increase in wages. The miners’ convention adjourned sine die at 11:15 a. m. The delegates voted to leave the question of calling out the engineers, firemen and pump runners to the dis trict officers. A TEXAS WONDER.

There are a hundred injur ed people in the hospital at George town. Gangs of men are searching for the dead or rapidly burying them in trenches and all that can he done un der the circumstances is being accom plished. Tho British cruiser Indefatigable brought 25 tons of supplies here and returned to the island of Trinidad to day for more. The governor of the Windward islands. Sir Robert Llew ellyn, is here supervising the work of the authorities. While the outbreak of the volcano on the island of Martin ique killed more people outright, more territory has hern ruined in St. Vin cent, hop re there is greater destitu tion here. Tho injured people were horribly burned with hot grit, which was driv en along with tremendous velocity. who sought refuge in a room in feet by 12 were all killed. One person was brained with a huge stone 0 miles from the crater. Rough cofilns are being made to ro- ceive the remains of the victims. Tho hospital hero is filled with dying peo ple.

They expect to receive government nations, but there have been instances where they have refused to bury their own relatives. It is estimated that the sea has en croached from 10 feet to 2 miles along the coast near Georgetown, and that a section on tho north of the island has dropped into the sea.
