DOCK LABoRERs CONFIDENT.
Masters and Men Speak Hopefully
of Success.

Hamburg, Nov. 29.-The strike of the
dock laborers and others employed in
the shipping trade continues, and both
masters and men express themselves
as confident OF success. There is no
sign of a break in the ranks of the
strikers, Notwithstanding the importa-
ton of foreign labor. The leaders of
the strike are working hard to secure
the adhesion of all the dock, harbor
and warehouse employees, and have
succeeded in gaining many accessions
TO their numbers. The warehouse men
and the men employed in the granaries
decided at meetings held today to join
the strike in order to procure better
wages for themselves and incidentally
to help the men already out
The strike is causing much delay in
the shipment of water-borne freights.
The sheds are more than full of goods
awaiting shipment, but there is no tell

that have been employed are not at all
skilled in their work, and this adds
very materially to the delay in loading
and discharging vessels. 1t is believed
that the claim of chartered vessels for
demurrage will be large and if these
are conceded or enforced, a heavy adj

shipping men.

There is liable 10 be some business
of more than ordinary Importance
transacted at tonight's meeting OF the
fire and police board. This is not
mere surnise, because during the long
wait for the reorganization OF the
board. actien on many things has been
DELAYED. The indications all along
have pointed toward Encouragement
TO some extent, at least, of the two
departments under the supervision or
the board. and the time seems to nave
arrived for carrying out the pro-
gramme of the new board, Whatever
it may be.
Since the appointment OF the Two
new members but one meeting mas
been beld-last Monday night 1t was
hardly expected that anything IN the
way of making contemplated changes
would be inaugurated then; the mem
bers had all they could do TO attend
to the business which had accumu-
lated during the summer months. 1t
may be different tonight.
Probably the first matter OF import
ance will be the appointment OF po-
lice captain. In al probability the
man will be named tonight Or the
aspirants for the place, ex-Sergeant

Ingerf out of the race, but as such IS
not the case, the terror to ev1l-doers

AS to any action affecting the heads
of either department, the meeting this
evening may or may not be productive
of developments. Rumors have been
rife the past few days to the effect
that Chief Pratt's head will drop into
the basket. Whether there is more to
this than rumor remains to be seen.
There has been much speculation all
along on this subject, and Should
there be such d change the chances
are brighter for W. ]. Lynch than for
any of the other candidates. Like
Eslinger, he is in close touch with the
administration and is supposed to be

that changes are to be made, be per-
mitted to wear his uniform for few
weeks longer, unless something unfore-
seen in the way of changes should turn
up against him. AS matters within
his department have gone a peaceful
course, apparently, at least, for some
time, nothing of this nature may be
looked for.

WAR IN CUBA.
WEYLER's SOLDIERS ARE STILL
KILLING WOMEN.
Old Men Shot In the Alleged Battles
Which Are Exploited by Drunken
OHcers-Maceo Still at Large.

Key West. Nov. 29.-On the night of
Nov. 20 Colonel Struch and his men
drank heavi.- and then followed one
war. Infamed by drink the Spanish
soldiers rushed u1on their helpless
prisoners and subjected them to treat
ment which cannot be described in
print Finally Colonel Struch signifi-
cantiy tod his men That it was no
use to be longer bothered by the Cuban
cattle"
The soldiers took the hint and imme-
diately began firing on the old men,
women and children. Volley after vol
ley OF lead was fired at the covering
and shrinking Cubans who had so
lately been the victims of Spanish
cruelty, until not one was left alive.
The bodies of the victims were left for
the vultures and Colonel Struch
marched his command bach TO head
quarters and reported to Captain Gen
eral We-'ler that several insurgent
camps had been raided ard about 300
rebels killed.
Colonel Struch and MANI of his Of
ficers were given furloughs in con-
sideration of their success and returned
TO Havana
Since going to Havana Colonel
Struch has been drunk all the time
and has openly boasted of the awful
slaughter OF innocents. This story is
not in the least exaggerated, as it is
made ur3 OF statements which have
fallen from the lbs of Colonel Struch
as he staggered out of the cafes of
Havana.
From other provinces come stories
OF massacre of innocents. but none so
well authenticated as the one referred
to above. Weyler's edict offering par
don to those who surrender is proving
to he simply a device to lure Cubans
to death.

New York, Nov. 29.-With the aid of

Newark, n. J.. to see, after having
been totally blind for two and one-half
years as the result of a fall from the
piazza of her fathers house, which
crushed one of the bones of the skull
and, it was thought, caused a pressure
on the optic nerve, paralyZing it. The
child was taken b. her father to the
laboratory on Tuesday and Mr.. Edison
consented 10 see if the X rays would
enable her to see. He says:
When the little girl arrived l asked
her if she could see anything. She said

and she said 1t was a plate A little
while later she said it was a yellow

ability to distinguish color. l believe
this is a new feature. This experiment
was not made with the microscope. 1t

following account of a report soon to
be published in a German medical jour
nal by Professor r. PfeiDper and Dr.
w. Knolle. two well-known bacteriol-
ogists of Berlin, giving the effect of a
number of experiments they have made
with a "tyDhuS anti-toXine"
IF their hopes are confirmed says
the consul. the science of theraDeut-
les in infectious diseases will have re-
ceived another most valuable acces-
sion in this new discovery. The two
eXperimenterS believe that exemption
from typhuS germs like immunity from
Cholera germs and contagious diseases
OF ike character. may be traced back
to the existence in the blood of anti
typhoid substances. and from this
standpoint the very successful results
OF the Investigations have been gained.
That this theory is most important
and practical is realized when the vi
tally of the typhus bacillus as dis
covered by Koch. Eberth and Klebs, is
given consideration. The typhoid bac-
clllus Is known to exist largely in we'll
and spring water and the fact that
they are frequently the direct cause
or infection is widely recognized by
authorities on bacterriology. Conse-
quently this latest very important dis
covery is to be greeted with Joy. as it
may prove in the future the means of
preserving numberless lives from I'M
timely demise, particularly as man is
susceptible to attacks from these bac-
Gil during the best years of his de-
Velopment-2O to 25 years. The inocu-
latlons OF 'typhus anti-toxine' can be
easily ana quickly executed and will
prove of great value and benefit es-
pecially in times of epidemic, when the
need OF prompt and efficacious life
saving remedy is most urgent. The en-
tire fruits of the experiments will soon
be published for the benefit of the
medical world ,,
