I ho continu anco of the lighterman's strike is caus ing serious inconveniences to ship ping. Tho great inrush of vessels, un able to unlaad, finally led Collector Illiss to cable Surgeon General Wy man, asking permission to lay the ves sels at the wharves. The6urgeon gen eral replied that this might be done between La Machina and Caballeria, but only between these wharves. Out side these limit? the American sani tary .angulations piohibit the landing of vossels owing to tho filth which the sewers deposit along the harbor shores. Nino hundred lighter men are involved in the strike. They ad mit they have been earning SGO per tuonth, and tho difference between them and their employer is small. They refused a proposal to submit the matter to arbitration. The Munsnn steamship lino is the only one not affected, that company having its own lighters and men. The polico and military guards at the wharves have been increased and Commodore B. J. Cromwell, captain of the port f Havana, has ordered the marines to hold themselves in readi ness. General Maximo Gomez has re ceived a telegram from General San chez in Santiago province, saying: "Division will not accept money." He has replied: "Will uso every effort compatable with dignity and honor." The Havana papers consider this an swer evasive and the Cubans gener ally, especially those belonging to the lighting divisions, which are chiefly westerners, say that most of the sol diers will accept the money, as $75 is better than nothing. Probably will be a large atter dance on the first payment, as well as uron those that follow. A member of tho staff of Gomez said today that not more than 20 per cent would refuse when the money was actually in sight. Havana today bas been alive with flags in honor of the queen's birthday and all the ships in the harbor have been gaily decorated. The banquet tonight at the Hotel Inglaterra was attended by eighty representative people and passed off with great en thusiasm. Addresses were made by Governor General Brooke, Major General Ludlow, Senor Fedcrko Mora, Mjpromo court fneal;Senor I'or fector L ieosto. the mayor, and others. Major General Fithugh Leo will deliver tho Decoration day address over those who died and are buried at Camp Victoria. Tho victimes of the Maine disaster will receive appro priate honors in the morning and the Seventh corps ceremony will take piace in the afternoon. One of tho objects of the meeting on In no 1 between tho governor general and the department commanders is to to promote unity of action in dealing with similar situations in tho various provinces. For instance, General Carpenter, military governor of the department of l'uerto Principe, has never conferred with tho yovornor general arid Major Wood of tho Sati ago department had only ono confer ence with him. Neifni Trami Killed From Thursday's Dally. A negro lad w.ife run over and in stantly killed at Union about 4 o'clock this morning. As near as could bo learned the accident happened in this wise. Tho negro was4riding tho bumpors on a Missouri t'acilic freight train bound south, and shortly before tho train reached Union was discovered by a brakeman, who told him to get off at tho next stop. Just before tho train stopped at Union, poonlo stand ing beside tho track noticed his body beneath the wheels, where it was literally cut to pieces. Tho coroner was telephoned to and went down, but has not returned at tho present writ ing, llo telephoned up for a colli n to bo sent, however, and it presumed that nothing was learned as to the boy's identity. 1.

President (Jonzaga of the Philippine, commission, previous to his departure, said: "Wo greatly appreciate the courtesy shown us. We have spent some time with your commissioners, incidentally considering the Ameri can constitution. Its principles itn press us profoundly. "The pian of government offered the 1 luiippines scenic in theory a good colonial system. Hut why should a nation with your constitution seek to make a colony of a distant people who havo been so long fighting against Spain to secure tho same rights your constitution givos?

From recent observations of an ex pert collector of birds' eggs it became r.j rnrent that there was in existence a person who made a living by imitat ing nature in the rjroduction and col- I'ing of birds' eggs. It ? as traced to a J'arisian dealer, and some interest ing details as to the n thods used fiave come to light. The unscrupulous 'it ingenious Frenchman was at one time an assistant in a large museum, and here he learned the value of many are eggs. Ileing of an enterprising rtrre lie started business on his own : cunt and made numerous experi r;s before he came to perfection. lie generally uses the shell of some ommon egg. chosen for its likeness in izc and shape to tho one desired, but when that is impossible gypsum is used, this, when properly colored, be ing undistinguishable from nature's :ardivork. The coloring process Is not costly, but a very lengthy and ten ons operation, for each variety of rgg has its distinctive marks and spot. N'iphtingalps' eggs which are finely narkod are worth good prices, and rowing this the dealer finds no dif ficulty in obtaining larks' eggs and coloring them to resemble the genuine article. Specimens of his un doubted but misplaced skill have foend their way to collectors in all parts of the world, and yet so com pletely and carefully has the work been done not one of the buyers has ever discovered them to be "manufac tured."

Several Hundred Hcfuse to iive Vp Arms or to Accept the (iratnity. Havana, May 25. Major General Fitzhugh Lee, military governor of the Havana-Del Rio department, wired Governor General Brooke at El Vedado today that 200 Cubans of the command of (icneral Rodriguez, near Mariano, dispersed yesterday, after resolving not to tako the $75 per man. Somo of them sold their arms and others took them to their homes. Telegrams from different points say the Cuban army in the western pro vinces will adopt tho idea of the troops in tho orient, declining to give up their arms or to accept American money. According to these reports tho government employes will con tribute a percentage of their salaries in order to givo tho soldiers an amount equal to that offered bv the United States.

A story is told of a former mayor of Birmingham, England, that he gave orders to have his robes of office lined with "vermin." When the late Alder man Sturge was mayor he received a royal command to dine and sleep at Windsor. This of course meant court dress and sword. The court dress was reluctantly submitted to, but as a mem ber of the Society of Friends, and, moreover, one who had greatly distin guished himself in the cause of peace, for he had formed one of the peace deputation to the czar before the out break cf the Crimean war, Mr. Sturge woult' not consent to wear a lethal weapon. A compromise was happily effected. A scabbard and hilt of the usual kind were at his worship's side when the presentation to royalty took place, but the sword was a mere lath of wood. Fortunately the worthy Quaker was not called upon to draw In defense of his sovereign. It Is the Only Six-Column Daily in the City. Larger Than Any Other Local Daily.

The white ribbon is the badge of a little settlement on Long Island and temperance rules the town. "We do hereby severally and collectively agree never to marry men who drink. They must sign the pledge before they ask us for our hands." This platform ha3 been adopted by the girls of the little Long Island town of Greenport. The men have dropped their drinking ways and they are all eating cloves. The saloonkeepers, seeing nothing but ruin in sight, have appealed to the girls to change their minds, but they declare they will not. The girl trust for the suppression of drunkenness was organ ized at the home of Mrs. S. B. Horton in First street, Greenport. A total abstinence society was formed and the members announced that they had agreed to boycott drinkers matrimon ially. Mrs. Cora E. Sherry, the late secretary of the woman's work depart ment of the W. C. T. U., made a speech paving the way to this stand. Mrs. Horton said that the only pledge ab solutely required from them was that of total abstinence, the other agree; ment being optional. The young men of Greenport, it is said, are not es pecially bibulous, but more of their earnings go in liquor than the girl trust thinks right. A story will be made of the results of alcoholic mar riages and lectures will be given show ing the dreadful endings of homes in which the husbands are drinking men. Mrs. Horton declares that the men must stop altogether, and would not admit that they could just take a "wee little sip." crj 7Z m L-sr-,r" o C)E if) 7A cz o 30 UCKEYE PILE -iiO 00 r-i t gS3gr; K.iPILE TUBE CURE A New Discovery for the Certain Curs of INTERNAL and EXTERNAL PILES, WITHOUT PAIN.
