City-Two Trains Collide, Fortu-

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Rioting was
the chief feature of the tailors' strike
on the East side to-day, and although
there were but few arrests made, acting
Captain Hogan kept his reserves ready
to quell any disturbance that might oc-
cur.
On account of the contractors asso-
citation deciding at a meeting Saturday
night to open their shops to-day and to
take union or non-union men to work,
the brotherhood of tailors had commit
tees in front of every shop at $50
o'clock in the morning, and as the men
came to work tried to persuade them to
join the strikers. In most cases the
committees were successful, but not
without several small fights, which the
police quickly stopped.
When leader Schoenfeld was seen and
asked what he thought the outcome of
the present situation would be, he re-
piled:
THE situation to-day is much better
than l ever expected after a ten day
strike, and my men are more deter
mined than ever since they went out. I
am almost positive that the contractors
will realize in few days that if they
continue to run their shops they must
settle the differences with the brother
hood of tailors''
During the afternoon 1t was figured
that about 1,500 non-union men who
were going to work this morning had
joined the strikers. All the shops that
signed the agreement with the brother
hood We're working during the day, and
took about l 300 of the strikers back.
From reports received from Brooklyn
and Brownsville it is learned that the
men there are still out.

GENERAL ZAYAS NOT DEAD.
A PARTY OF CUBAN OFFICERS
ARRIVES AT KEY WEST.
The Province of Pinar Del Rio, Ex-

of the Insurgents.

KEY WEST (F'la), August 2.-Thfs
afternoon about 2 o'clock the pilot
boat Glance returned to port, having
picked up small boat twenty-five
miles out in the gulf, with Commander
Joaquin Delgado, Lieutenant Fernando
de Velasco and a Spanish boatman,
they having left Cuba last Friday night.
Saturday morning they fell in with a
Norwegian bark, which took them on
board and brought them over. The
boat they left Cuba in being in leaky
condition, the captain of the bark fur
nished the men with better one.
Commander Delgado brings import
ant dispatches from Cuba. Being in
terviewed, he said that provisions were
very scarce in Pinar del Rio, but plenti-
full in the province of Havana. He said
that battles are of daily occurrence in
Pinar del Rio and which province. with
the exception of the Capital, is in the
hands of the insurgents.
Lieutenant Velasco is a member of
General Zayas' staff. Being asked about
the reported death of Zayas, he stated
that it was not true; that he left
Zayas on Friday, and that he was well.
Delgado and party left Cuba for Ma
riel. and just as they were about to
leave three Spanish soldiers came upon
them, when a hand-to-hand fight took
place. Deigado and his companions
killed the assailants and their arms are
in possession of a Cuban club of this
city.

What is your opinion of the ulti-

Everything depends on the manner
in which this campaign is waged. To
my mind there is but one test of pros
rerity which can be applied to coun-
try, and that is the rate of wages paid
to labor. There can be no prosperity
where low wages are paid. There can
be no distress where the rate of wages
is high. 1t can easily be determined
that this whole free silver Is con-
spiracy against wages, and If the cam
paign is fought on this line / have no
doubt that every Northern State-that
is to say, every State of the Union In
which it is practicable to hold free
