'THE CLAIM. DENIED._’_
Manila Railway, a. British Concern.
In Hard Luck.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. ~Acting Sec-
retary Meiklejohn of the war department
' has denied the application of the Manila
- Railway company, limited, for payment
by the United States of interest on the
capital i111csted in the railway owned
and operated by- said comp: .,nv pursuant
to guarantee of said interest by the Span-
ish government.
The Manila Railway company, limited,
a corporation organized under the laws
bf --.reat Britain-obtained a concession
from the Spanish government for a rail-
road 'om Manila to Dagupan, in the is-
land of Luzon, a distance of about 130
miles. By the terms of the concession
the Spanish government gua1antee‘d a re-
turn of 8 per .cent' per annum upon the
capital invested in the railroad. The
claimants represent that the amount orig
inally so inve'sted- wa.~ $4,904,400, but
that the amount was subsequently in-
creased, with the concurrence. of the
Spanish authorities, to $5, 353, 700. 89. ”
The Spanish government up to the time
of the Spanish-American war fulfilled its
obligations under this contract by paying
quarterly installments of the subvention
as they accrued, the. amount varying
with the. earnings of the railway.
The. railway company contends that the
United States by assuming sovereignty
over the Philippines in accordance with
the terms of the treatv of peace with
Spain b‘ec’ame bound to respond to the.
obligations of the Spanish government
under said concession and should pay to
it the amounts due 011 the subventiou
11l11eh have accrued since the date of the
treaty of peace, aggregating $.- 37068.
Polish Miners Discharged.
SI—IAMOKIN, Pa., Jan. 12.—One. 111m-
dred Polish miners employed at the Hen-
ry Clay, Burnside and Bear Valley col-
licrics of the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Ironcompan’y have been dis-
charged becausc they failed to report f01
work Wednesday. Last Monday a Polish
miner was killed in the Bear Valley
shaft. He was a member of two bene-
ficial societies, as are. also most of the
Polish miners employed at these collier-
ies. The rules of the societies require that
all members must attend the funeral of
a dead brother if possible, and the men
asked for' leave of absence to attend the
funeral of the'miner on VV-‘ednesday. The
request was refused, and the men were
told that their positions would be lost it
they did not go to work. About 100,01
them attended",the obsequies, and when
they appeared for work they were told
that their services were no longer desired.
