PRESSnEN AND PRINTERS.
Aided by Bookbinders, They Are on
a Strike In Chicago.

Chicago. Dec. 7.-One hundred and
fifty pressmen, compositors, bookbind-
ers and press feeders are now out on
a strike at the printing establishment
of Donohue & Henneberry. Thirty press
feeders went out in sympathy this
morning. The strike originated with
the compositors because the firm re-
fused to discharge an Objectionable
foreman, but the company is also ac-
cused of breaking its contract with the
Typographical union relating to the
employment of a certain number of
union men. Non-union men were put
to work in the strikers places, and a
large number were brought from other
cities.
Several fistic encounters occurred
during the day and more trouble is
expected.

IS FORMIDABLE.


So too, the Spanish force in the field.
in garrison on the island, or on it's way
thithcr from the mother country is large
ly beyond any military display yet called
for by a Cuban rising, thus affording an
independent measure of the strength of
the instruction.
From every accessible indication it is
clear that the present rebellion is on a
far more formidable scale as to num-
bers, intelligence and representative fea-
lures than any of the preceding revolts
of this country; that the corresponding
effort of Spain for its repression has
been enormously augmented; and that
despite the constant influx of fresh
armies and material of war from the
metropolis, the rebellion, after nearly two
years of successful resistance, appears
today to be in a condition to indefinitely
prclong the contest on its present lines.
The nature of the struggle, however,
deserves most earnest considera ton The
increased scale on which it is waged.
brings into holder relief all the appalling
phases which often appear to mark con-
tests for supremacy among the Latin
races of the western hemisphere Elk
ccsses before confined to portion of the
island become more progressive when
wrought throughout its whole extent as
now. The insurgent authority as has
been seen, finds no regular administrative
expression; it is asserted only by the
sporadic and irresponsible force of arms
The Spanish power, outside of the larger
towns and their immediate suburbs. when
manifested at all, is equally forceful and
arbitrary.

APPARENT AIMS.

The only apparent aim on either side is
to cripple the adversary by indiscriminate
destruction of all that by any chance
may benefit him. The Dopulous and
wealthy districts of the center and west.
which have escaped harm in former con-
tests. are now ravaged and laid waste
by the blind fury of the respective par
tisans. The principles of civilized war
fare, according TO the code made sacred
by the universal acquiescence of nations.
are only too often violated with impun-4
ity by irresponsible subordilates, acting
at a distance from the central authority.
and able to shield themselves from lust
censure or punishment by false or falsi-
fed versions of the facts.

In regard to the Samoan question, Mr.
Olney makes no recommendation and
gives no intimation of any recent action
having been taken. He simply says:
THE situation in Samoa is practically the
same as stated in the last annual mes

communication to the senate of May, 1894
A possibility of more effective harmony
in the insular administration may be sug-
gested by the resignation of the presi-
dent of the municipal council and agree
The chief justice of Samoa has also re-
signed, and as he is an American citi-

naturally fall to the United States, which
necessarily continues TO exercise all stipu-

partite general act of Berlin during the
continuance of that compact, however
