A special to the PtatDlspatch from Marlon , 111. , eays : At 10 o'clock today as the train on the branch of the Illinois Central runnlne from Cape Ulrardeau to Johnston -City , carrylne a coach load of negroes from Pana to Brush's mine , one mile north of Cartervllle. stopped at the 1'Vertonla mine , three miles northwest of Cartervllle , a large number of striking union miners opened fire on the negroes , killing one woman and wounding about twenty others Before the bloody work could be carried further the train pulled out for 'ohnston City. When It reached a point one mile north of finish's mine the negroes were unloaded and marched across the country to their destination. It Is said that a majority of the rlutois weie negroes whom Brush bi ought here from the south about a year ago and have since joined the union. The latest news from Cartervllfe says there la great excitement In the neighborhood of the Brush mine and a battle between the working negroes , who are well armed , and the strikers , who are on the ground ready for n fight , may be precipitated at any mo ment Superintendent Brush wired for Sher iff Gray Immediately after the riot , asking for protection. The sheriff has gone to the ncene. but ho took no deputies with htm. He has no guns to arm them. A majority of Brush's miners have been on a strike for a month , though many of his Imported negroes have remained loyal to I him. The trouble Is the same old one , a I question of wages Had not trouble been ! expected when these Pana negroes ar- j rlvrd they would have been transported. . from Carbondale to Carterville over ! the usual and most direct route.

At 9 o'clock this morning Conductor William Bryan's train on the Johnson City branch of the Illinois Central , bearing forty-seven negro miners from Pana , was shot Into by a crowd of miners at Lawder , In Williamson county. One negro woman was killed by a bullet through her heart. The negroes were brought by Sam T. Brush , superintendent of the St. Louis and Big Muddy mines near Cartervllle , to work In his minethere. . The miners , fifty In number , -were armed with rifles and were hidden In grass behind the country depot. When the train started the leader , who was an Italian , got on the platform and commanded the negroes to get out. Conductor Bryan Interfered , but was stopped by a revolver In his face. The train began to move and the miners poured In a withering fire. Conductor Bryan yelled to the negroes to throw themselves on the floor. All escaped serious wounds save the woman , who was killed Instantly. Half a mlle farther on the negroes were unloaded and placed in charge of guards. They were then marched to the mine. Intense excite ment prevails 1n the Cartervlllo coal fields , and bloody riots are expected , as the feeling has been Intense for weeks.

WIlHnic to Yield Throne for the CJood of the Iitlnndcrs aiatnafa'n Party Tlren of the Fighting. ; APIA , Samoa , June 16 ( via San Francisco , and quiet now reign in June 30) ) . Peace Samoa , In marked contrast to the warlike scenes of two months agq. The arrival of the auxiliary cruiser Badger on May 13 with the International commission on board caused a distinct change in affairs here. The commission lost no time , but went to work immediately , electing Mr. Trlpp chairman and Mr. Morgan secretary. The commission ers held Interviews first with King Tanu and then with Mataafn. Tanu was not at first recognized as king by the commission. Tanu and his chiefs readily ngrcnd to give up their arms and stated that they were pre pared to accept any form of government the commission might recommend , even If the kingship was abolished. The following day Mataafa and his party came alongside the Badger , singing gongs and flying the Samoan flag. The rebels were ordered to take down the flag , which they did. The commissioners explained to the chief that they had come to make peace and Mataafa said that he was tired of fighting , as were his chiefs. He said his party would recognize any government fixed by the com mission , but be hoped to have a king of Samoa , as It wac an old established Institu tion. Mataafa readily agreed to give up the guns held by his party , but Insisted that as the weapons were the private property of the natives , they should receive compensation for them. The commissioners Issued a proclamation , stating that the guns would either be returned or proper payment made for them after all troubles had been settled. This , of course , means that payment will bo made , as It would be folly to return the weapons. Mataafa's party asked If they could be represented by attorneys before the com- mlcfilon , but their request was declined. After the Mataafa men had turned in 1,500 rifles and the Tanu supporters 2 000 more , Tanu was Invited on board the Badger. There he wan Informed that the commis sioners supported the decision of Chief Justice Chambers and that Tanu had been king of Samoa ever since the decision had been rendered. Tanu said that he was i willing to do anything for the good ) of Samoa , and at the request of the commis sioners resigned his kingship to them. I'oriiiulnlliiK n ( iueminent. .

Chief Justice Chambers wishes to resign his po sition and return to the United States , but at the request of the commissioners has de cided to remain. Clnlnm for Many claims have been lodged at the dif ferent consulates for damages to property during the last few months. While not em powered to take any action on these claims the commissioners agreed that real hardship bad been suftcrcd and It is understood that the commission will recommend that the three powers each pay the losses caused to Its own subjects. On the evening of the queen's birthday British representatives announced that never , under any circumstances , would Great Britain recognize Mataafa's claim to be the king. It Is stated that Baron Sternberg , the Ger commissioner . , is fully convinced that Consul nose acted wrongfully and Is respon sible for the late outbreak. Consuls Rose and Maxse are passengers on the steamer Marlposa for San Francisco. Some of the rebels , dissatisfied -with the proclamation ptovldlng for.a provisional gov ernment , have declined to give up their rifles. Mataafa disclaims any responsibility for this action and says it Is without bis consent. DEATH OF MRS. SOUTHWORTH U ell-KiMMvn Authored * Dies from lhc UnVetn of the Heat nt the ARC of heveiity-XIne.

WOOD STAYS WITH THE ARMY Drrllneit KillMerlliK Offer in CU II Life Talk * of the Nod of the CnlimiH. WASHINGTON , Juno 30. General Leon ard Wood has declined the presidency of the Washington Traction and Electric company of this city and will return early next week to his post as military governor of the prov ince of Santiago. The offer was a very flat tering one , but General Wood , after consid ering the matter for a week , decided to de cline It. In view of tlie outbreak of yellow- fever at Santiago ho decided that It was his duty to return there at once. Some time ago General Wood sought serv ice In the Philippines , but It was then be lieved , as It Is now , that his services could not be spared in Cuba. General Wood , In talking of the conditions existing In Cuba , Bald that what the people there needed wan good schools , good sanita tion In tbo cities and the enforcement of United States laws. General Wood says his advices from Santiago are such as to con vince him that there will be no serious outbreak of yellow fever. He says there has always been yellow fever there and In i tome of the low dives It will be Impossible to precnt-Infection , but he thinks It w/ill not be serious , as the best of precautions have been taken by the United States au thorities.

Afhlstant Sec retary of War Melklejohn has received n re port from Captain Edwin P.

The instructions delivered to the men were to proceed to Koglo City by the valley of the Madanuaka river. They were to pro ceed through such passes of the Alabkan range. , of mountains as might prove most practicable , and In case nbne were found west of Melklejohn pass they were to go through It. This pass , Captain Glenn thinks , can be easily reached from the- trail fol lowed by himself during 'the hc.ihon of 1898. Captain Glenn also reports that when the detachment under charge of Lieutenant J. S. Herron landed at Portage bay. in Prince William sound , the snow had disappeared to such an extent It was Impractlcablo to make use of his dogs and sleds to any ad vantage. On this account It proved Impos sible to go through to Knlk station , papolng the north nldo or Turnagaln nrm. The dogs , sleds and two men were loft In the cabin built at Portage bay by Captain Glenn's command during the last season , and ho states that they will be brought to the main camp at Tyoonook by the Urst boat that puts In at that place. It Is further stated by Captain Glenn that the last winter was a very mild one , the lowtHt temperature reported at Knlk sta tion being 33 degrees below zero , yet the spring baa been Into.
