In Havana-Weyler's Great Mis-
sion-Cuban News.

Havana, Dec. 20.-Dr Zertucha, who
was the physician of the late General
Maceo, has been appointed mayor Of
Bejucal, this province. Zertucha has
belonged in his day to all the political
parties in Cuba. AT one time he was
bandit in the Vuelta Abajo and his
record was very discreditable. 1t was
quite inexplicable to the friends of
Maceo that he kept the physician on
his staff for so long a period, notwith-
standing the warnings given I'm.
Maceo used to say that Zertucha's fault
was his drinking habit. At the time
the famous Cuban commander was
killed, Zertucha was charged with lead
ing him and his party into the fatal
ambush, but he issued long state
ment, in which he tried to show that
Maceo met his death in battle in the
usual way. zertucha also bitterly as
sailed the honor of the Cuban leader.
After the killing of Maceo the dis
honored physician was allowed to go
free by the Spaniards, and it was said,
and generally believed, that his pock-
cts were we'll lined with Spanish gold.

Out of Employment.
New York, Dec. 2O.-According to the
World, of 297, $50 workers in this city,
the records show that 92,O75 are out of
work. Last year at this time 125375
were idle
Ernest BOehIn, secretary of the Cen
trail Labor union, estimates that fully
100000 persons are in enforced idleness
now. This estimate is probably very
near the truth, for, if to the 90 900
shown to be idle by the Worlds figures,
be added the many clerks, ook-keep-
ers, accountants, etc, who are seeking
work, the total would surely reach 10O,-
600.
Comparisons show that so far as the
number Of unemployed is concerned,
the situation is marked improvement
over that of q year ago. More men by
the thousands are at work.
This is particularly true to men en-
gagged in the building trades. Within
several years there has not been so
stances walking delegates have been
made to find sufficient number of
workmen for employers.
The increase of employment has come
for the most part to skilled labor. The
only striking incident in unskilled labor
has been IN Ele ranks of labor in street
contracts. The story is told at labor
bureaus. The most interesting compari-
son in this line is offered by the figures
of the free labor bureau of the Asso-
citation for Improving the Condition of
the Poor. This shows that in Decem-
Der this year S41 persons secured en-
ployment through this bureau. while
in December, 1896, 263 places were Sc
-ured.

On Thursday the transfer of the Utah
Central to the Rio Grande Western will
be made.
This IS settled.
Although very little definite infor-
nation has been printed concerning the
transaction, except that printed in The
Herald from time to time; although
none of the officials here seem to know
ANYTHING of the matter and the re-
ceiyer himself declines to give away
enough information to make brlet OIL
inside information received IN the Guy
Yesterday direct from Denver, is TO the
effect that the change will be MADE on
the 23rd, and that as soon Thereafter as
pcssible the Western will have branch
or its system, leading up to the great
est silver camp in the state.
While the papers will no DOUBT be
executed on the day alluded to, and
the transfer legally made. it Will be
some time ere the preliminary arrange
ments for active operations Will De
completed. To begin with, the traffic
manager and the passenger depart
ment have not received any 1nforna-
ton from Denver of change. during
the visit of Colonel Dodge TO this city
Mr.. Babcock was engaged on the red
to consult with the general manager
as much as he would have liked. AS
a result, he is not in possession OF as
much information as he would nave
liked to have obtained.

fortunate General superintendent
Welby has received a letter from Col
onel Dodge, in which the announcement
is made that the road will be taken
~ IN
date mentioned.
The road was sold on the Sth of May
last, Messrs. Henry Graft and Anthony
J. Dittmar of New York City, being
the purchasers. The price paid was
S272, 600. The sale was confirmed some
time Later by Judge Hiles.
The Western people took an option
to buy the road, which expires with the
limit of redemption, the 23rd of this
month For some time it has been
thought perhaps the company would
not take the line; that it would decline,
and by avoiding close traffic relations
with the Central, would force the value
down to q much lower figure than the
option calls for, but it would seem from
the above that such is not to be the
casa.
The story, as related to The Herald,
is to the effect that no new lncorDora-
ton Will be entered into, except III ~
far as is required by law, and that the
Central will be taken and operated as
a portion Of the Rio Grande Western
system.
Whether employees now engaged by
the Central will be retained or not, can
not at this time be stated, as the traffic
manager is not IN a position to state
what action will be taken.
Of course, arrangements will be made
to run trains to the Western depot on
Fifth West street. which will be an
advantage, and in future all repairing
will be done at the shops of the COM
pany. There is a good bit of the latter
to 90. and a whole lot of old equip
ment will have to be repaired and fixed
up, to meet the demands which will be
! imposed by the change.

fered as a Substitute to Free
Coinage of Silver.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 2O.-When the

postal savings bank system was pre-
scented by the committee on resolutions.
The resolution which endorses the bill
pending before congress favoring the es-
tablishment of postal savings banks with
the clause relative to the national banks,
stricken out, was adopted.
A resolution expressing approval of the
national legislation for the publication of
primary elections was adopted.
RESOLUTIONS We're adopted that an effort
be made to organize tiremen; that special
instructions for the organization of jour-
neymen bakers and their local unions be
issued; that efforts be made to organize
the brick masonS who are as yet unor-
ganiZed.
Several resolutions relating to boycotts
Were acted upon.
At the afternoon session the st. Louis
convention and President Gompers' action
in regard to it continued to be discussed
James O'Connen said heattended the con-
vention, though he had not in fact, signed
the call. He also claimed that men who
had been most active in attempting to
disrupt the movement during the miners
strike We're being paid out of funds con-
tributed by the American Federation of
Labor.
]. c. Burnett then offered a resolution
approving the reasons given by President
GomperS for not attending the st. Louis
convention, which was adopted

action and declaring against injunctionS

thor of the resolution; Kreft Yarnell and
Brennock and after defeating an amend
ment offered by Kreft, the resolution was
adopted.

age of silver at 16 to l was taken up and
a substitute on the Gage bill was adopted
as follows:
Resolved, That we declare ourselves
most positively opposed to the Gage finan-
cial bill. recently introduced in congress
by the secretary of the treasury. It is a
measure that if adopted as law, will
only all the more firmly riVet the gold
standard on the people of the country and
perpetuate its disastrous effects in every
form.
Resolved, That we pronounce the Gage
bill an undisguised effort to retire our
greenback currency and all government
ton OF national bank notes in their stead
and thus fasten the national bank system
for years upon the American people,
The fraternal delegates from foreign
countries were given privilege of voice

change goes into effect Feb. / 1898 The

morrow and adjourn.

St. Louis Workmen Denounce the
American Federation.
St. Louis, Dec 20.-The first meeting
of the National Building Trades council
was held in this city today and was
marked by a scathing denunciation of
the American Federation Of Labor for
having passed a resolution at Nashville
opposing the formation of the national
council.
The Federation of Labor opposed the
new organization as tending to create
a further division in the ranks of labor
The call for the convention was issued
by the Buildings Trades council of St
Louis Fiftg-fOur accredited delegates
responded. The session was executive,
reporters being refused admittance.
1t is said, however, that the attitude
Of the Federation OF Labor came in for
a great deal of discussion and denun-
citation. A resolution was adopted de-
ploIing the action of the federation as
indicating q willingness to 'injure kim
bred organizations at the time it most
needs friends" An organization will
be perfected tomorrow.
At toda3's session resolutions were
adopted denouncing the bin before con-
gress to prevent the pooling of railroads
and favoring the proposed postal saw
ings bank system.

These Soldiers Will Not Go Back On
Cuba.

New York. Dec. 2O-Copies of a
statement signed by the officers of the
Fourth army corps of the Cuban army,
operating in the department of Las
Villas, renewing allegiance to the Gu
ban cause and forswearing autonomy,
were received in this city today. This
action by the officers of the Las Villas
department makes the opposition to au
tonomy practically unanimous among
the Cuban officers. The statement says
in part:
I'VE are convinced that the promul-
cation of reforms is an evidence of
weakness on the part of Spain and is
in itself a triumph for our arms Our
fighting attitude will continue, just as
it is today, until our unfortunate coun-
try is made free.
1--WE will accept no other settlement
than that based upon absolute indie
pendence, which must be agreed to
with our government and the assembly
of representatives"
Among the signers are Juan Maso
Para, brigadier general of the First di-
vision, and Calixto Garcia, adjutant.

Chicago, Dec. 20.-The Times Herald
says: Trades unionists are required by
the Chicago Federation of Labor to
leave the national guard at once. This
was the unanimous decision reached by
the delegates at their regular weekly
meeting. 1t was said without contra
diction that a union man could not con-
sistently serve in the militia and incur
the risk of being called out to shoot
down fellow trades unionists who We're
on strike for a betterment Of their
economic condition. So every trades
unionist who is now member of the
Illinois national guard viii be re-
quired to secu.e a discharge from mill
tary service at once.
Delegate 2. ]. Hassett started it all
with q motion to compel trades union
lists TO leave the national guard. An
amendment by AIcPhee was offered to
have every workman enlist and learn
how to handle a gun. This was lost
and less warlike substitute was Of
fered by Delegate B. B. Williams,
THAT a request be made to all union
men now in the militia to get out Of
the service"
A second motion was offered by Dele
gate Williams, and passed, urging all
union men who are not members of the
militia to refrain from enlisting.
General Miles suggestion of guns for
the pOstoffice was denounced and cited
as a shadow of coming events. The
tocsin was sounded that capital was
organizing and that labor should be
prepared.
The delegates later declared their op-
position to the creation of the proposed
new cabinet position of secretary of
commerce and industry. The adverse
report OF the committee to which the
subject had been referred was sus-
tanned. A motion was passed favoring
the creation of cabinet department
OF labor Reports from Nashville, in
dicating the triumph of a movement
for an eight-hour working day evoked

Thrown Down Shafts Being
Investigated

Some two years ago, a deserter from
Fort Douglas disappeared out in Mer-
cur, and now the claim is made that
the man was murdered and thrown
down q shaft. The sheriffs Of Utah
and Weber counties are working on
the case and it is believed that the
men arrested in Ogden recently for

Yesterday the Utah and Weber
county sheriffs conferred regarding this
matter at Ogden and decided to pro-
coed with an investigation.
At the time of the mans disappear
ance it was reported TO the military

soldier had fallen down a shaft, but a
little later. it was rumored that the
man was thrown down.
