YORK, April 12.—At the meet- ing of the sub-committee of the anthra- here today the representatives of the em- ployes offered the mine-owners the choice of two propositions in their en- deavor to come to an amicable agree- ment, and the employers made an in- formal reply, in which they intimated that they were not likely to accept | either of the offers. The operators will | make an official answer to the miners' l.tect proposition by letter, and there be no further meetings unless IO ething develops. The meeting today did not bring the contending parties .closer together. It the operators should decline to entertain either of the propositions submitted by the miners it is probable a convention of miners will be called, at which the delegates will declare that a strike exists. Briefly stated, the offer made by Pres- ident Mitchell today was a resubmission of the miners’ original demands, with two amendments, and in case they are not accepted he proposes that the whole controversy be placed before the strike sommission. In one of the amendments to the original demands President Mitchell drops the request for the recognition of the union and provides that the pro- posed agreement be made’ between the operators and the anthracite mine work- ers, instead of the United Mine Workers of America. The other amendment pro- vides that only employes who are will- ing shall be assessed a certain sum each month to defray the expenses of carry- ing out the proposed check-off agree- ment, instead of union and non-union men being called upon to contribute. ————— Date for Royal Marriage Is Fixed. MADRID, april 12.—The marriage of King Alfonso and Princess Ena of Bat- tnberg has definitely been fixed for June 1 COUAT THROWS OUT THE CASE Suit Conceming.the Fanita Filibustering Expedition Is Dismissed After Trial S AR NEW YORK, April 12.—United States army officers and Government officials were mentioned today in testimony con- cerning the 1897 Fanita fillbustering expedition of General Jiminez, former President of Santo Domingo, which started from Mobile, Ala., and proceed- ed to Monte Christl, Santo Domingo. The testimony was given by Joseph L. Cunningham, who sought in the Su- preme Court (o recover 325,000 from |, " established in Santo Domingo by Jiminez for services which he claimed he rendered to the expedition. He tes- tified that he offered both to Jiminez and to General Morales, who was killed in the expedition, to see several United States officials and politicians, to obtain aid for the fillbusters. The real object of the expedition, he said, was the capture of Santo Domingo by the insurgents with a view to ob- taining Samana Bay as a coaling sta- tion for the United States, a scheme which had been a favorite one of Gen- eral Grant. Cunningham testified that he had sent in a bill to General Jiminez for $65,000, which the general said he considered was rather large for what were ser- vices really rendered to the United States, and offered him $25,000, which he said he never received. Cunningham said he was not em- ployed by the United States Govern- ment in securing arms for Jiminez. “Did you inform the United States Government what the real purpose was for which these arms were to be used?” “I told the Government officials they were to be used to help Gomez.” After further testimony Justice Fitz- gerald dismissed the complaint on the ground that one of the conditions by which 1t was alleged that Jiminez agreed to pay $25,000 was that payment was con- aitional upon a regular Government be- the revolutionary party within two months, and that no proof had been presented to establish that fact.
