canes on the estates whose proprietors re-
fused to accede to their demands and night
after night cane fields were destroyed. FL
nally a general increase of wages was
granted, but this did not satisfy them and
further increase was demanded This
was not given and the burning of the cane
helds continued. On the 18th of February
the boatmen struck and refused to permit
small boats to go off to vessels in the har-
Dor.
