the knife and bloodshed perhaps with
it. The company started the FIRST
freight train in two weeks today, and the
battle may be said to have lust begun.
Deputies will be sent out ON all trains.
Late this afternoon the strikers sent
brief communication to President Hill,
Internationally rejecting his proposal
for arbitration and renewing their de-
mand for the old schedules, and giving
him to understand that it is their ultl-
matum.
Mr.. Hill sent a reply TO the men to-
night in which he says the sctlon OF the

will no longer recognize the American

Nobody on board tho steamer Santiago
knows what became Of Fotlro Bishora
an Arab who disappeared Thursday.
There is little doubt that the man COM
mitted suicide, although the officers did
not see him jump cTer the rail, as tho

an eccentric person who embarked on

schooner from Key West to Nassau.
The Arab acted queeldy, and Sopher bo-
oAmo afraid Of him The evangelist
went to Purser Howe and told him that
he was afraid that Bishora would COM
nit suicide. Sopher said that the Arab
was so wild and incoherent in his talk
that he was afraid to occupy the same
statmoom with him.
B.ehora was missed at dinner on
Thursday evening, and the steward was
sent 10 his room to call him and could
not f1Bd tie man. Purser Howe, in COM
pany with the chief officer and the chief
engineer, made q thorough search of the
vessel. They could not find the man.
Sopher said that the night before Bish-
ora had taken razor from box and
put it in his pocket The Arab seemed
to be insane He had teld q number OF
stories about himself at Nassau, Sepher
said, which proved to be untrue. The
Arab caused times Of his countrymen Ia
be arrested at Nassau, charging that
they had robbed him. The police justice
before whom the case was tried found
that the charge was unfounded, as Bish-

by his colored nurse to go out in the
front yard and play.
The child had been there only short
time when two gypsy women came along
who were ostensibly selling fancy colored
baskets. They boldly entered the yard
of the Deane residence, and one of them
asked little Harold if he wanted a pretty
basket. The child replied that he did,
when one Of the women handed the boy
u little basket, which he gleefully accept
cd. Then the women each took hold Of
one of tho cGiid'5 hands and led hi'n
gently out into nd up Cliff street. The
boy went cgis.ly and willingly. The
