EXPRESS MEN STRIKE.
Ten Thousand Employees of the
Adams Company May be
Affected.

New York. May 1.-THE Herald this
morning says: THE initial step has
been taken by employees Of the Adams
Express company in strike that may
possibly affect the 10000 men employed
by that corporation. Eighty porters in
the immense freight house of the ex-
press company in Forty ninth street, adj
joining the New York Central freight
yards, walked out in a body recently.
The action of those men will be sup
ported by the company's men in Wash
ington, D. c., where they will stop work
as the result of a heavy cut in wages
and increase in working hours.
"A committee representing clerks,
drivers, pOrters and stablemen will at
once call upon L. G.. Weir, president
Of the company, with a list of griev-
ances. The committee men will insist
be attended to 1Tithin a reasonable time
or else a general strike will follow. The
trouble is attributed by the men to Pres
ident Weir, who has, they say, largely
reduced the working force and cut down
wages, but failed to curtail working
hours. )
Another innovation was made last
night when the drivers, freight handlers
and helpers were compelled to furnish
bonds for $500 each. The bonds were
handed to the employees to sign. Some
of the men refused to comply with the
request. The employees of the company
were compelled to sign an agreement
several weeks ago whereby they released
the express company from all liability
in case they were injured while on duty.
A deduction Of the mems wages is made
now for every day they are absent on
account of sickness or accidents

A CUBAN EXPEDITION.
Pedestrians on Atlantic City's Board
Walk See a "LoW, Rakish
Steamer"

New York, May A special to the
World from Atlantic City, n. j., says
shat while the board walk and beach
were crowded with visitors last night, a
large rakish steamer stopped within
mile of shore and lowered four boats,
which made for the ocean pier AS they
neared the pier, a large crowd gathered
there. When the boats came up a score
of silent, swarthy men forced their way
to the front, and as soon as the boats
touched the landing stage they leaped
into them and were Immediately rowed
out to the steamer, which had not an
chored, but kept circling about with all
steam up. Just as soon as the strangers
were put on board, the mysterious craft
made off with all speed to the southwest.
The general opinion among seafaring
men here is that another Cuban eXped-
ton has successfully gotten away and
that the steamer already had on board
arms and ammunition.

BIG REBEL VICTORY.
Munoz Made a Futile Attempt to
Prevent the Rebels Cross
ing the Cauto.

Key West, Fla, May IA notable
victory has been won by the insurgents
commanded by Gen. Calixto Garcia, in
the province of Santiago de Cuba. Adj
vices received here from Cuba state that
Garcia's forces fell upon the Spanish col
umn commanded by Gen. Munoz and al
most annihilated them. The battle oc-
Cured near Zanja, on the banks of the
river Cauto.
Gen. Garcia was moving west with
1900 men, intending to cross the river.
Munoz, who was at Manzanillo, decid-
ed to try to, prevent Garcia's crossing.
He led $500 Spanish soldiers out of
ManZanillo and ordered gunboats to pro-
coed up the river to cooperate. Garcia
heard of Munoz's movements and eff
fected a junction with the columns Of
Rahi and Rolingheus, thereby increasing
the forces under his command to nearly
5000. Garcia stationed his men near
Zanja, and when the Spanish column I'M
der Munoz appeared, struck it in front
and flank, doubling it up on the river.
The Spaniards were taken by surprise
and many of them rushed into the river
and were drowned. The fire of the in
surgents also did great execution.
When the humiliation of Munozs col
umn seemed certain the gunboats ap-
peared and saved the remnants. Over
surgents bullets or drowned and about
400 were wounded. The Spaniards re-
treated down the river to ManZanillo,
protected by the gunboats. The insur-
gent loss was small. Gen. Garcia then
crossed the Cauto and is now proceed
ing west.
The news of the advance of Gen. Co
mez has been confirmed. He has entered
MatanZas province at the head of 1900
we'll armed men. He has seven pieces of
artillery and plenty of ammunition. 1t
is said that TIE field pieces are in charge
of expert American artillery men, who
served in the Pennsylvania National
guard and left Philadelphia for Cuba
several months ago. Gomez's forces are
advancing westward rapidly and in a
short time will be in Havana province.
Il is said in Havana that Gomez is
moving to attack the Trocha from the
east while Maceo hurls his column
against it from the west.
Gen. Weyler is evidently expecting a
simultaneous assault on the Trocha by
the forces of Gomez and Maceo, for he
is hurrying to the line every soldier not
needed for garrison duty. In the next
Jews days hot fighting is expected on the
Trocba

lister of foreign affairs, was present, be-
side the Emperor and Mr.. Uhl. At the
conclusion of the audience of twelve
minutes, Mr.. Jackson and the suite of
the embassy were admitted and shook
hands with the Emperor, who conversed
pleasantly for a few minutes with all of
them. He then led the way to a smaller
room. Mr.. Uhl was thereupon sum-
moned to an adjoining salon where the
Empress and the ladies of the court
waited. Baron yon Mirbach, as The
Empress court marshal, introduced Mr..
Uhl. The Empress conversed affably
with Mr.. Uhl for few minutes, apd
next received and conversed with the
suite of the embassy. Altogether, thir-
ty-fye minutes were consumed within
the schloss. Then, in the same car
riages and with the same elaborate cere-
mony, the members of the embassy re-
turned to the Kaiserhof.
A representative of the Associated
press had an interview with Mr.. Uhl
after the audience. He said that his
audience had been very pleasant, and
he was very well satisfied with the re-
suits, but he declined to divulge the sub
ject Of the remarks which had been
made on either side

was so marked that [ felt certain she

gested itself was this: Did she know of
Gladys, or had her discovery to do with

We have cut the oak down in our Isle.
And 7 said: Eye have bereaven
The song-thrush and the bee,
And the fSher-boy at sea
OF his seamark in the even;
And gourdS of cooling shade, to lie

And the old Sheep-dOg' saffron eye
of sleep on duty's ground;
And poets OF their tent
And quiet tenement.
All, impioust who so paid
Such fatherhood, and made
of murmurouS immortality cargo and a

For the hewn oak a century fair,
A wound in earth, an ache in air.

THE ILL FArED srRArnNEvIs.

An Address Presented Captain stott
by the nIowera's Passenger. 4,
The Miowera's passengers pre-
sented Captain Stott with the
following address in recognition
of his efforts to save the i'll. fated
steamer Strathnevis:
"To Captain Stott. r. M. s. Mo
vera:
"The passengers by your steam
er from Vancouver, B. c., to Sgd
ney, Ms. W., on her December
trip, feel it their bounden duty to
testify to the courageous and
heroic endeavors of yourself, off,
GERS and crew to save the Inflated
/. Strathnevis.
Although your efforts, for six
days, were unavailing, owing to
the unusual severity of the
weather, they most sincerely be
lieve that you are deserving of all
commendation. They have been
deep.y impressed with the fear
lessness and faithfulness displayed
by you during this most trying
ordeal, and feel confident that all
that human energy and wisdom
could devise was done with the
characteristic daring of British
seamen. They believe also that
you continued your efforts until it
became evident that any further
sacrifice would have simperiled
the safety of your own ship.
"In conclusion they JOIN with
you in what must even be most
painful regrets that such noble
and self sacrificing efforts should
have been of no avail"
While those on board the Mo
vera seemed to have little hope
that the Strathnevis survived the
storm it must be borne in mind
that it WAS A o'clock in the morn
ing when the last OF that steamer
was seen and she was then only
forty or fifty miles from land. If
she kept ahoat until daylight it
would seem hardly possible that
she would have been missed by
the numerous vessels in search of
her. According to the latest San
Francisco dispatches there were
on the 2Ist If December five big
steamers searching for the Strath-
nevis; the steamship Danube, the
collier Costa Rica, the steamship
Tacoma, China bound, the Cana
dian Pacific liner Empress Of
China and the tug Mischief and
Others including H. Nj. S. Royal
Arthur were to leave in day or
two. In addition every tug and
pilot boat on the coast was on the
look out for the vessel.
