crcARMAKERs TO LEAVE CUBA.

A Novel scheme Adopted by the Strikers
to Bring Employers tn Terms.
New YORK, Oct. 12.-The Worlds Tampa,
Fla, special says the striking cigarmakers Of
Havana, Cuba, have determined upon plan
of action which threatens to destroy one Of
Cuba's greatest industries. They propose to
depopulatc the island of every striking cigar
maker. The proposition has been placed be-
fore the American manufacturers, who are
now encouraging the movement Every CT
garmaker in Key West and Tampa,
it is said, have agreed to pay 81
per week toward the support of
the strikers, and hundreds have agreed to
receive and house families coming from
Havana. Two hundred families viii arrive
this week, and others viii follow as fast as
transportation can be secured
A statement made by the Cuban trust to
the effect that American manufacturers viii
cooperate with them in reducing wages is
Indignantly denied here.

NEW York. Oct l2-Judge O'Brien, in

were taken completely by surprise when the
former real estate manager Of the law firm
of Shipman. Barlow, Larocque & Choate,
who hal been called for examination, posi-
lively but olitely refused 10 answer any
questions that were put to him.
However, Bedell was called to the witness
stand. Witness declined to state upon what
ground he declined to answer. Mr.. Root
asked Bedell If he had had an interview with
Frank Palmer. president of the Broadway
bank. and If the latter requested witness to
keep his mouth closed. Witness de-
clined 10 answer This alleged inter-
view was the subject of further questions by
Lawyer Root until the opposite counsel inter
posed an objection tn the line of inquiry as
being immaterial This led Mr. Roos 10 re.
tort in very emphatic language thu - had
sworn testimony TO thu effect tina. Pr si,leat
Palmer, OF the Broadway bank, had called
upon Bedell and had asked him t. keen his
mouth closed. The judge did not thin,l the
inquiry was improper.
Mr.. Root exhausted every means to get the
witness to answer, and finally Bedel was
committed for contempt in order to prevent
his release.
The examination was adjourned for a week
on bail or otherwise. Bedell was then taken
to the court of general sessions to plead to the
indictment for forgery. The case was, how
ever, postponed until Monday when he viii
put in plea of guilty.
