Dire Results.

Insurgents Use Dynamite at Havana With
Dire Results.
HAVANA, June 16.-This city was
startled at 9p. m. by the noise of two
successive explosions which were heard
for several miles. CONSERVATION pre-.
vailed for time, as it was feared that
this was prelude to an attack or a
series Of similar explosions. Excited
throngs rushed to the streets, while an
armed party proceeded in the direction
from which detonations had been
heard. 1t was soon found that the
stone bridges of Cristina and Concha
and the aqueduct of Fernando Septino
were the points that had suffered from
the dynamite. The bridges were par
TALLY destroyed, and the pipes on the
aqueduct, upon which the city is de-
pendent for its water supply, were
much damaged. 1t cannot yet be stated
how extensive is the damage done or
how long it will require to remedy It.
The windows in many houses in the
city We're shattered by the reverbera-
ton of the explosion. There is no doubt
that the dynamite which caused this
wreck was
Placed by Agents of the Insurgents.
It has been their determination, an
nounced some time since, to cut off the
water supply Of Havana and so serve to
make it as nearly uninhabitable as posi-
BILE. The greatest apprehension is felt
on account of the secrecy and effective.
ness with which the insurgents have
been able to carry out the outrage. 1t
is believed that the insurgents are bent
upon investing Havana by cutting off
as much as possible the supply Of
necessities, though not by actually be-
sieging it. All fruits. vegetables and
fresh meats are unprecedently high
priced and difficult to obtain Many
are suffering from measles and there is
much intestinal trouble among the in
habitants owing to poor and insufficient
food. The failure Of the water supply
under these conditions is q dire ca.
lamity.

More than SOC. 900 railroad employees

whom are members Of organized bodies,
representing their different callings,
demand that plank be inserted

no one who opposes it.
1--WE deplore strikes and strife and
urge that all means possible be employed
to bring about an amicable settlement OF
disputes by arbitration. We believe the
bill now pending in the national house
of representatives, and known as the
Erdman arbitration bill,' is a long
stride in this direction, and we ask the
