communication with Jay Gould during
most of the week, the latter being in
Havana, and the cable between Cuba
and this country has been kept pretty
busy carrying dispatches between these
officials. Judge Ports general attorney
of the Missouri Pacific. says the formal
discharge of the striking men wipes out
all existing agreements between the
company and the Knightsof Labor
and that if any of the latter are re-
employed it will be under entirely new
conditions, or no conditions or obiiga-
tons at all. The general expectation
that the Missouri Pac ic would attempt
to move the blockadcd freight from
their yards in this city, last night, was

movements and this time. i-5O'
everything is quiet in that vicinity.
The company has been quietly hiring
new men ever SINE Tuesday nigni, and
it is anticipated they will to-day I'LL the
places of the striking Knights, and the
movement of freight will begin. Several
parties of these new men were being
conducted to the yards last night 10 re
ceiye their instructions, when they were
met by a delegation OF strikers who
persuaded them to desist from their
purpose. The Knights are very reticent
when questioned about The probable
result OF the attempt by the railway
company to move their freight trains
to-day, but the general opinion Is that
they will resolutely resist any such at
tempt. The company, however, are
said to have finally decided upon such
a course, and if any resistances are
offered by the strikers, they will call for
municipal and, if necessary, State pro-
lection.
