Aug. tween United States Minister Woodford and Embassador Porter and Embassador White has failed to arrive at any definite decision. Gen. Woodford's task is extremely delicate. He has been instructed to put the screw upon Spain, but to avoid any step leading to an open rupture. Much depends, therefore, on Spain's attitude and upon the amount of support she receives in Europe. On both these points the reports of Embassador White and Embassador Porter were unfavorable to the American case. The Spanish government is forced by public opinion to continue the policy of Canovas and the senti ment of both France and Germany is decidedly hostile to American interference. Under these circumstances it is probable that until Minister Woodford is able to feel his w ay more clearly the American policy will be watered down to the maintenance of the claims of American citizens in Cuba, set off by Spain's claims with regard to filibus- i.

This was also refused by the miners, and they said they had been 5ooled too often to trust the operators again. They declined to work for a month, giving the operators the output that length of time without knowing what wages would be paid.

Coal operators of the Pittsburg district have made a decided change in front. Internal dissensions, mixed with fear on the part of some, caused a split in their forces and a change of base. On its face the move looked to many like a temporary surrender to the United Mine Workers of America. This, however, is denied in most emphatic terms by the most prominent lake shippers, who say they are going to start their mines and supply the demand from the northwest and not stand idle and let a large volume of trade go to operators of other states. They publicly state that they are willing to to wait for a week or ten days before a decided move is made. They claim that this will give them ample time to get the lake trade. Some of the operators in the meeting are frank enough to state that the situation at the present time in all branches of labor is critical and they have no desire to make any move that wonld cast odium on the operators of Pittsburg district.

The president was also authorized to negotiate a foreign loan of 2,500,000. The new loan will go into effect within two months. After it becomes operative, all customs will be payable in gold.

The operations of cattle thieves in Cassia and Owyhee are becoming so extensive that the. cattle business is becoming unprofitable. A strong organization of the cattle growers in that section has been formed, and a meeting will be called for the purpose of forming a state association. The primary object is to check cattle stealing, but incidentally an effort will be made' to cluck the encroachments of the sheepmen on those ranges. Cattle stealing is becoming so extensive that many many men are going out of the business. This, aided to the fact that sheep are detiling the range and that poison weed is growing in considerable quantity, has induced many of the cattle their herds, the company having moved their cattle into Nevada, and Sweet-ze- r .v.
