New 0RL.a1s, October 7th- Picawne
special from Key West, Fla, says: Havana
advices by steamer to-day state that the
cigarmakerS' strike there, which has con-
tinued for seven weeks, will probably as
sumo a very serious aspect before settle
ment is reached. The strike originated in,
and was confined until Monday, to facto-
ries working inferior tobacco but in conse-
quence of no settlement being reached at
the immense joint meeting the manufactur-
ers and operatives held last Sunday, the
manufacturers of Vuelta Abajo tobacco
ioined issue with the others and closed
their establishments, in order to prevent
their operatives contributing toward the
support of the strikers. The strike has ex-
tended to San Diego de las Vegas, -sejucal,
San Antonio. Gueges and other interior
towns. 1t is estimated that 90 600 persons,
! who derive a livelihood from the tobacco
industry throughout the island, are idle,
and considerable distress prevails among
them. As usual, the rough element, TAX
ing advantage of the general excitement,
is committing depredations. Highway
robberies and assassinations occur daily. A
riot has been apprehended for several days
by the authorities of Havana, who have
taken precautions to keep all available civil
guards under arms, while a mounted
! guard patrols the city. 1t San Diego de Las

The Bulgarian Crisis.
New YORK, October 7th.-The T]iJuae's
cable special from London says General
Kaulbars' performances at Sofia daily be-
| come more portentous. Not content with

| poster, i'll plGcarding all over Bulgaria what
| the BulgarIans call 1.-The Cars twelve COM
mandnents," he has now taken the stump.
Europe looks on with disgust Kaulbars is
diplomatic agent who violates every dip
! lomatic precedent and every rule of good
manners. His tour through the chief towns
of Bulgaria to harangue the people is here
considered to mean one of two things. 1t
| is an avowal of the failure of the effort to
dragoon the regency, or deliberate attempt
to invite an insult, so as to furnish a pretext
for Russian interference by arms. The re-
gency appear now to be acting under the
| inspiration of Tisza's speech, supported by
| the advice of Austrian agents. Tie Aus
trian official press has already adopted a
strong anti Russia Ese. English good will
and counsel they have had all along, and
even Germany seems to be lending a hand
to Austria. There ere significant indica-
| tions that Bismarck thinks he has gone far
enough with Russia. His one object is
peace. Austria and England rave practi-
! cally warned Russia that the military occu-
patton of Bulgaria will be resisted. Peace,
therefore, can only be secured by stopping
| Russia on her present downward course.
Stop she must if Germany. Austria and
England are agreed.
