NEW Om.EANS , larch 12.-The thick fog
early thIs mornIng was the veil behind which
teslerte ) white levee laborers gathered , and
which they penetrated with' WInchester rifle
bnls aimed at the colored non.unlon worle-
men on the ships loallng at the docks. The
attack was made nt poInts several miles
apart just heforc the arrival of the police , and ,
. as a result , there are haU I dozen corpses
I and a dozen or so wouuded men The police
' saw the attack , but 10 arrests were made ,
they claiming they were too few to cope with
the unexpected outhreale. The day before
the mayor sall all was quiet and the gov-
crnor saw no grounds for Interference , hut
today the business men are denouncing both.
The militia Is In readiness to move , an appeal
to the federal government has virtually bee !
made , and even : the ( foreIgn consuls have dc-
chled to join In the 10\'e for peace at any
11rlce. The causes whIch led to the trou-
4 tiles have heen , ot long standing , and grew I
out of thc nterpt or ! ship agenls and others
Interested to reduce rates. The whIte screw- I
men calm ] that the colored men , who were
gIven n share of the work under nn agree-
.
' mont , made secret cuts and violated ] the
agrcement In order to obtain more work all
gradually crowd the white men off. The
white associations then sever d all ties with
the blacks and refused to worle with thom
or for the men who employed them. The
white 'longshoremen joIned the screwmen In
this. Since then the steamship lines have
been gradually goIng over to the negroes.
Lately the whie screwmen quit work on the
lines still loyal to them , stating they would
not work until the whole affair was straigilt-
ered out. Several more lines then tool on
negro laborers from necessity.
RETALIATION ON VEDOUES.
'fhe white nnlon fnaly determined to relaI-
late upon the stevedores by offering to reduce
rates ant deal with the ships direct. Ships
In haste' accepted the offer . but the agents
stood by the stevedores. TIn ? later offered
to pay more than the screwmen asked , but
t the screwmen refuse to teal with them
1 , 1 . 'fhe agents offered to pay the screwmen theIr !
wages and place the stevedores over them '
as superibtendents , but the screwmen again
declined. Then the stevedores began Im-
porting colored screwmen from Galveston ,
and the whites , growIng desperate , broke
loose In rIots. Tile dead are :

Colon to New York on the morning ot the
Gth Inst. sighted a barleentne steamer Iller
the land oft Cape 1110) ' , the easter cdce of
Cuba , which headed directly toward her. At
7 o'clock , when about two unl one.hal 110
distant , she hoisted t1 Spanish fag , whIch
Was saluted by the hoIstng of the American
ensign und dipping I , which act at courtesy
was answered b ) the SpanIard. At 7:15 : she
frell n blank cartridge to leeward , which
was soon followed by anotiuer The MacrI-
can ensign was again hoisted and dippel . ,
but the ( course anti speed ot the shIp was I
not changel , as no hosle demonstration was I
anticipated , as the Alanca was more than i
six mies off the land at the tIme. The
Spanish man.of.war was not satIsfied , how-
ever , wllhcn the double salute to her fag ,
but proceeded to chase the American at her
full speed , judging from toe smolee that came
from her funnel anJ . seeing that the Allanca
was drawIng away she came to , bringing her
gun 10 bear and fred a so\d shot , which
struck ] the water less than an
eighth of n mlo awny from
the Alanca all directly In line. This was
followed by two more sold shots , which
fortunately did not reach their mark ! , though
they struck the water II plall sight of the
I ship. At each shot however. the Spanish
ship 'awed to get the range 01 the American
shIll before firing on her plainly showIng the
Intention to hit her If she could , Captain
Crossman ot the Alanca , knowIng he was
more than two leagues from land and al the
high seas , ( hill hot Ionslder It his duty to
detaIn his ship to fnd ( out the reason for
such al outrage even for so summary a
demand , anll so ordered fu\ stoma and gradu-
ally drew out or range. Tile chase was kept
lp for more than tweruty-tive miles , however ,
before It was nbamloned. H the Spaniard
had more speed or her gunners had been
better marmnel ! no doubt the inciiieiitVOiull (
not have ended so fortunately for the Amrrl-
can.
Captain Crossman was unable to pet the
name of the Spanish gunboat. "We were
six miles oil the shore on the high seas , " he
said , "ond I do not think we were responsible -
hIe to the Cubans or anybody es ! for being
II these waters The shots were fred doubtless -
loss by some conceited Spaniard , who has an
Idea that he can stop anythIng that floats.
However , he was dIsappointed , as It never
occurred to me for n moment 10 lay low.
"It Is customary fcr lS to run within half
a mile ot lie ( Cuban coast and tiia ! time sva
were further away from It than ever , and I
really cannot tel why the shots werE fired . "
In answer to a question IS to whether or
not the shots might have been fred by the
gunbol : with the Idea that hIs boat belongs
to the revolutionists. In Cuba the captain
smiled : "They might have been practicing
on us , " was the response. The AJlanc has
been running between this ! port and Colon torn
n number of years , making one trip each
month. She leaves here on the 2Gth cay of
each month and starts on her return trip on
the fth of Ihe followIng month , She carries
the United States mal and has passenger
accommodations for 150 cabin passengers. Including -
cluding the officers , she carries a crew or
sixty men

rang out. Four of the prIsoners , whew
names cannot he learned on account ot the

a young American boy who was drivIng the
