STRIKE AT HAVANA.
Serious InconVenience to Ship-
ping Caused by Lightermen.
TROOPS WILL REFUSE OUR MONEY.
At— the Memorial Day Service General
Lee \Vill Deliver the Address—The
Victims of the Maine Disaster
Will Be Remennbered.
HAVANA. May 25.—The continuance
of the lightermen’s strike is causing se-
rious inconvenience to shipping. The
great inrush of vessels, unable to un
load, finally led Collector Bliss to cable
Su1gcon General W‘sma .1, a: king per-
mission to lay the vessels: .t the w harfs.
The surgeon general replied that this
might be done between La Machina and
Caballeria, but only between those
wharfs. Outside these limits the Amer—
ican sanitary regulations prohibit the
landing of vessels owing to the filth
which the sewers deposit along the har-
bor shores. ~
Nine hundred lightermen are involved
in the strike. They admit that they
have been earning $60 per month and
the difference between them and their
:mployeis is small. They lefuseda p10—
posal to submit the matter to ar‘bitia-
tion.
The Munson steamship line‘is the on-
ly one not affected, that company hav
ing its own lighters and men. The po—
lice and military guards at the wharfs
have been increased, and Commodore
B. J. Cromwell, captain of the port of
Havana, has ordered the marines to
hold themselves in readiness. He will
himself prepare for any possible trou-
, me on board steamers that are loading.
General Maximo Gomez has received
a. telegram from General Sanchez, in
Santiago province, saying, “Division
will not accept money.” He has replied,
“W'ill use every effort compatible with
dignity-and honor.” The ,Havana pa-
pers consider this answer evasive, and
the Cubans generally, especially those
belonging to the fighting divisions,
which are chiefly westerners, say that
most of the soldiers will accept the
money, as $75 apiece is better than
nothing. Probably there will be a large
attendance on the first payment as
well as upon those that follow. A mem-
ber of the staff of Gomez said yesterday
that not more than 20 per cent would
refuse.
Major General Fitz-Hugh Lee will de-
liver the Decoration day address over
the remains of those who died and are
buried at Camp Columbia. The victims
of the Maine disaster will receive ape
jpropriate memorial honors in the mom“
lng, and the Seventh corps ceremony
will take place during the afternoon.

teacher at the end of that time he is

duct.

A Wedding Instead of a. Funeral.
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., May 25.—
Edward McIntyre, 23 years of age, went
from here to VVallaceburg, Canada, two
years ago. Tuesday an unsigned tele—
gram came to his parents, saying: “Ed-
ward to be buried Wednesday. Come if
you can." Supposing his son-to have
died, John McIntyre, the father, started
for Canada to bring the body home,
while the mother and sister ordered
mourning gowns and made arrange-
ments for the funeral. Yesterday a tel-
egram came from McIntyre, Sr., saying
that the word “buried" in the first dis-
patch should have been “married" and
announcing that he arrived in Wallace
burg just in time to give his son and
bride the parental blessing. Mrs.‘ Mc-
Intyre fainted when she heard the good
news.
Coast Blocked With Ice.
ST. JOHN’S, N. F., May 25.—'I'he
whole northeast coast of this island has
been blocked with ice for the last six
weeks, the result being that navigation
along the coast has been practically im—
possible. The people in many sections
are now destitute of provisions, owing
to the inability to replace their sup-
plies, and the commercial operations 01
almost 80,000 people have been virtually
suspended. Fishery outfitting for Lab-
rador and the offshore fishing grounds
will be quite out of the question until
the ice blockade is raised.
