Serious Dock .Strike In Cuba.
Havana, May 24. 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

A negro lad w.ife run over and in

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

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

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." Golden Penny.

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

A Piece of Lath.
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.

TEMPERANCE THEIR TEST.
Long; Island GlrU Won't Marry Men
Who Touch Liquor.
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."
