STRIKING AGAINST THE MACHINE,
Chicago stonecu.tcrs Run Up Against the
Genius of Invention.

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-The stonecutters of
Chicago have gone on strike. The order
to throw down their tools and quit work
was sent out by the Stonecutters' union
of this city, and 800 workmen obeyed the
command. Every stone yard in Chicago
is involved. The trouble has been brew.
ing for some considerable time and is the
result of some mans genius. For years
the stonecutters of Chicago has been earn
ing good wages, averaging, it appears,
from 81 to ST. a day, according to the un.
ion scale.
OF late, however, the stoneyard pro-
prietors have been introducing stonecut.
ting machines, one of these engines being
capable of doing the work of several men.
They are of such simple construction that,
it appears, almost any novice can operate
them. AS IL result the regular trained
stonecutters We're being slowly forced out,
and common laborers employed at lower
wages Were set to work operating the ma
chimes. 1t seems, however, that few ex-
pert stonccuttcrs are needed in every yard
to oversee the work and run things and it
is just here the strike is expected to pinch

NO NEWS AT WASHINGTON.
State Department Gets No Information as

WAsHINGToN, Jan S.-At the state de-
partment it is said that no information
has been received concerning the reported
critical condition of affairs at Havana As
the navy department has no ships in
Cuban waters 10 Information comes from
that source. The intelligence from Cuba
Is of such an alarming character that some
surprise is expressed. even by officials, that
no word comes to the government rs to
the situation.
Minister De LONE, of Spain, has his
patience sorely tried at the reports, which
he regards as cxtravagant, and at the
constant inquiries coming to him. The
mention of the report that General Cam
pos has resigned. or that Havana has
fallen, is Indignantly resented by him.
He does not care to make denials for he
says these reports are such prcposterous
insurgent falsifcations that he will not
notice them.
