Herald from GuimarO Camaguey gives
the following details of the death Of
Major Dana OsgOod, the foot ball
PLAYER. who commanded a Cuban bat
terry during the recent siege of the
town of GuimarO.
General Garcia then ordered Major
Osgood to open fire on the Spanish
forts Two hours later a. large fort
known as Fort MOnfau, located on a
hill about 700 yards from the town, was
abandoned by its defenders, who took
refuge in the town
on the second day Of the siege Major
Osgood, under heavy fire from the
Spaniards, was training one of his
pieces on the forts, when a Mauser
bullet struck him in the forehead. He
uttered the word We'll" and bending
forward on his cannon hugged it and
breathed his last in behalf of Cuban
liberty. The news OF his death deeply
impressed President CiSnerOS and the
commanding officers. all of whom had
great regard for the American officer
Winchester Dana OsgoOd. the Cor
nell student and foot Dali player who
went to Cuba and took commission IN
the Cuban army, is the son of a United
States army officer who was until re-
Gently stationed in St Louis, Mo. Os-

foot ball player and all-round athlete.

a game until the Cornell-CSicagO ath-
letic game in 1892. when a collision
with Snake" Ames knocked him out.
He was a fine wrestler and boxer
and had won many medals. His mus
cular development finally became such
as to render him almost muscle bound.

University of Pennsylvania, where he
plaved good foot ball He had the pO-
sitfon Of half back and did some phe-
nomenal playing against Harvard and
Princeton during the three years he

BRODERICK'S VIEWS.
He Favors an Extra Session-An In
ternational Agreement for Silver.

Washington, Dec. 4-Congressman
Hepburn of Iowa, chairman of the
house committee on interstate com
merce, and Congressman Broderick Of
Kansas, both of whom arrived today,
are IN favor of an extra session and
the immediate passage of a, Republican
tariff bill Mr. Hepburn fayOrs a mod
crate protective measure.
Mr.. Broderick believes that no silver
or financial legislation will be enacted
either by this or the succeeding con
gress. The house. he said, would
block legislation favorable to silver and
the senate legislation in opposition to
it. The only hope, he says. is an in
ternationaI agreement. He believes
that the Republican party Will carry
out the spirit of the St. Louis plat
form declaration in favor of an inter
national agreement and take an ag-
gressive stand in behalf of a commits
sion to accomplish such an agreement

the west is decidedly in favor of the
recognition of the independence Of
Cuba. but they are inclined to think
Congress having expressed its wish,
the question of decisive action rests

THE STRIKE
GENERAL.
Business of Port of Hamburg
Brought to StandstilI.
Quaymen, LabOrers, Engineers,
Bargmen Called Out at Noon.
ANTWERP is INVOLVED
Dock Laborers at Belgium's
Port Refuse to Handle
CargOes on All Vessels Loaded
at Hamburg.

Hamburg, Dec. AT a meeting Of
the central strike committee here today
it was decided to declare a general
strike and a pamphlet was issued call
ing upon all quay labOrers, engineers,
bargemen, Jumpers and carmen to quit
work in order to bring the business of
the port to a complete standstin- The
majority of the quay laborers obeyed
the call and the remainder quit work at
noon.
London. Dec "A special dispatch re-
eeived here from Antwerp announced
that the dock laborers there are refus-
ing to unload vessels arriving from
Hamburg. A general strike is feared.
New York, Dec. 4.-The Journal has
the following from its London cores
pOndent.
In Liverpool the Dockers' union
and Sailors and Firemen's union are
affiliated with the continental Organi-
zaIlonss ana reports as to the progress
of events are being constantly received
and the strike up to now has had no eff
feet upon Liverpool and 50 far has
principally concerned eastern ports.
Sailors ana hremen report that in Liv-
erpool they nave received an increase of
and 10 per cent on several cargo steam
ers trading to Baltic, Mediterranean and
western ports, and so far as the Allan
tic mail boats are concerned. the men
are satisfied with the amount paid to
them.
The result of the ballot which has
been taken among dock laborers sail
ors and fremen throughout Great Brit
ain and the continent will, it is believed,
be decided on Saturday.
Except in a few instances unionist
dOckers in Liverpool state that they are
not demanding an increase of wages
and the ballot there viii probably show
a large majority against a strike. The
union leaders do not anticipate an ex-
tension of the Hamburg strike to the
Alersey, but they admit that develop
ments may take place. the outcome
OF Whi-n cannot now be foreseen.. Their
efforts at present are being directed to
prevent the strike spreading TO western
ports Up to now the shipping fedora
ton has taken no action in the matter
and has not sent any free labOrers to
Hamburg to take the places OF the
strikers
Perhaps nothing sensational may
come to pass on this occasion but the
time is rapidly approaching when con-
certed action viii be taken among all
lockers. Every development in labor
troubles in Europe must be watched
European workers count on their Amer
lean comrades for help, and I firmly be
