I Strickers Daughter And
I Rescue Was Preuented
Lgho TROUBLE IN PAP-
L ail ial La" Has N ° l Yet Been
Declared.
? Pa na. Uh. O ct - 8.-From dark
Lt night until dawn tms morn,
[he hours were fraught with awful
Lpensetotbe hand of strikers
Lo had captured the train dur-
L t he afternoon and secured the
hvasbington (Ind.) negroes who
Lad been started for Pana to take
Ithe place of the striking miners.
I Before 9 o’clock came rumors
that the negroes at Pana, reinfor-
Led by many deputies, had secur
ed arms a.id ammunition and were
Li. route to Tower Hill, to rescue
the Washington negroes.
Th* strickers prepared grimly
f.r a battle. Every road leading
into the little town was guarded
by a sentry, to give the alarm of
the approach of the enemy.
The guard around the captives
was doubled, and plans to resist
the attack were made. Then eu-
I sued a wait.
A train steamed into the little
town, and from one ot the coaches
leaped a girl crying:
•The negroes and deputies have
started out Lu tight you. They have
turned back the wagons sent to
bring you home, and if they do
not c< me to Tower Hill- they .day
lay in wait for you by the road>
side. Don’t start back till day
break.”
The girl was the daughter of a
ramer,
Early in the evening, while
walking through the business por
tion of Pana, she heard that the
negroes and deputies had started
after the miners. Her warning
came in time, and the strikers
started for Pana this morning,
after loading the imported negroes
on a train bound for Indiana.
The attacking party in wagons
and on horseback did not attempt
to enter Tower Hill but scouted
around the country near by and
stopped everyone who drove by at
the point of Winchesters .
Later they withdrew to the mine
camps. No violence wag offered.
Martial law has not been de
clared here.
Mar ial law has not as yet been
declared here, Captain Craig, of
Galesburg, commanding officer of
both battery and two companies
of State guards, having no orders
to that effect. At present the
Sheriff and Deputies are in charge
of the town, and Craig has in
structions to protect citizens and
pioperty, but not to assist oper
stors in starting mines.
Hid I known last night that
the negroes and some of the dep
ohes had left Pana to intercept
doion miners, as I am told this
morning was their intention, I
B(| uld have taken my men and
slopped them ” said Captain
Craig.
Sheriff Coburn requested Cap
tain Craig to arrest the strikers.
f aig refused and said that he
Wa9 n it there to aid the operators.

we kept only a fruit store. Our
real line is fine groceries, but
we make a special feature of all

The human system soon . be
comes sluggish without fruit,
but if you trade at our store you
will never have any trouble
getting your favorite kind, and

Dr. 11. R. Allen’s proposition
to use oil in christening the Il
linois seems to have been made
in seriousness, and not to throw
ridicule upon the attempt of the
Woman’s Christian Temperance
Union to have water used. Hair
oil would be inappropriate, and
it lard oil were used the cere
mony would be commenorative
of Chicago’s greatest industry ;
but so far Gov. Tanner has made
no reply to Dr. Allen's letter
making the suggestion.

Is Condition of Spanish at
Iloilo.
(W’Y RESIST NATIVES
•
Await our Action. Littie Atten
tion Paid to Aguinaldo
Iloilo, Philippines,via Manila,
Oct. 3.—ln order to avoid the
Spanish censorship this dispatch
was marled to Manila, whence
it was forwarded by cable.
The Saniards at Iloilo are
greatly pertube lby fear of the
insurgents, and the wildest ru
mors are in circulation concern
ing the action of Gen. Rios, gov
ernor of the Viscayas.
Since the surrender of Manila
to the Americans Cen. Rios has
sent to Mindanao 500 addition
al troops, and it is now suppos
ed that they have 2,000 there,
but this is belieyed to be an ex
aggeration- The preparations to
resist the insurgents are very
feeble, and the Spaniards feel
that they are helpless against
natives.
The Spanish gunboat El Ca
no is out of repair and useless,
and two smaller ones there are
even in worse condition. It is
understood that the natives and
negroes on the other Viscaya Is
lands are waiting to see if the
Americans take the islands. With
this they would be satisfied, but
they would not submit again to
the rule of Spain.
If the Americans shall leave
they will start an insurrection
which will sweep the islands.
One or two Spanish posts on the
Island of Panay are surrounded
by natives, but nothing further
has been done.
Business men are showing the
keenest interest in the situa
tion. Many of them have been
here 20 years or more and are
unanimous in their conviction
that if the Americans do rot
take and hold the islands they
will all be ruined. Englishmen
of experience among the bu.-i
--ness" men say that the people are
docile and easily managed.
No attention is being paid to
the ratification of the Filipino
declaration of independence by
the Filipino congress at Maloslos
on Thursday.
There is some smallpox here,
but the health condition is not
serious. The United States war
ships Boston and Raleigh have
returned to Cebu.
SPAIN’S GREATEST NEED.
