Speculation is keenest over

Wushit-y on, Sept. 2.—A copy
of Adm r«l iMontojo’s report of

u»v n rec ived at the Navy De

The A'ltn' nl <*ays that, in ad

h’s do cat to lack of gunne s.the
inaptitude of the machinists and
the scarcity of rapid sing can
non.
F the .he w ite .: “The
A meric ■ns fired most rapidly,
and my flagship, the Crist ni,
received a constant rain of fi-e.
One shell put uut of action four
rapid-fi' og gu»s ; another ex
pl aled in the ammunition room
.nd urced me to flood the mag
azines . The steam and hand
st<‘oi ing gear we e shot away in
turn.
‘•The broidside guns continu
ed firing until there was only
on g inner and one seaman to
m m them. The ship beingout
of control and liddled with shot,
I gave orders to sink her, end
signaled the Cuba and Lt* sen to
assist i<> saving the reminder
of the crew. .
•‘Tiie Ulloa, wi'h on’y two

un il sunk by a shell that put
ut of action her commander and
half the crew at the two guns.
TbeCastilly kept fir ng withone
stem gun till sinking and on
fire, when she was abandoned in
good order. After the renewal of
the attack by the Americans at
10: BO in the morning, and the
final destruction of my remain
ing armament, I gave orders to
sink each ship, and reacheed the
shore, taking with me the Hag
and pennant, the money in the
safe and the breech plugs from
the guns.”

'1 lie iwo <?lfi a s w< re taken
out of their buggy |>y the mob
and carr.ed in the d ectiou of
the mines.
Rev. Dr. M’dard, a mini ter
of Pana, made a p'ea to the
Di ners to rele.-se the Overholts
and was kne *ked on the head
with a revolver for bis pains.
Ihe two officers were drugged
from their buggy in front of the
Baltimore and Oh'o Southwes
tern depot The seizure wf •
made for the purpose of demand
ing the of negro min
ers who had been working in
the union men’s places.’
The miners were overtaken
by the state officials a-nd a com
mitte of the mineis’ union and
haTed. D. J:<-Lew.s Overholt
gave the committee an order to
send for a committee of the ne
gro miners. Sheriff Coburn re
fused and rep’ied, demanding
the reluse of the Overholts.
John Mitchell*, national vice
president of the union, sent back
a no .e saying the Overbolts were
in his keeping.
Tne Overholts were kept in
custody by the miners until late
in the afternoon when they were
released and allowed to make
their way back home. They
reached here late last night foot
sore and fatigued. They say the
strikers vot?d several times to
hang them, but were prevented
by tiie leaders from coalmining
violence.
A conference was held here
between Sec etary Ryan, V'ce
President Mitchell, of the aim
ers’ union, a id David Riss and
x. D. Kel'iger, of the state labor
bureau, and later they conferred
with I >‘wis Overholt, who agreed
to meet the committee tomorrow
morning and submit the cou
ce. n’s books, lo< king toward a
settlement.
Eighty six Mount O' ve and
8 annton miners Lave arrived
I
here .and sm; Her detachments
from other points are coming in
by every train. The union offi
cials express doubt whether they
w ill be able to prevent a demon
stration t.gainst the mine. The
leaders declare fire arms will not
be u c ed, but nearly ah the union
miners are a; iT'ed and a demon
stration could hardly fai' to Je
suit in bloc ’shed.
John Mitchel’, n : i.mal v’.e
