CUBAN LABORERS STRIKE
Demand Sl.80 Per Day, an Advance of 55
Cents.
Gen. Wood Threatens to Import La
bOrers From Jamaica-Road and
Other improvements.
Correspondence Associated Press.


SANTIAGO DE CUBA, December A.
The boon of employment at fair wages is,
seemingly. not appreciated by Cuban labor
ers. few days ago the dock laborers
struck for a raise of - cents a day. They
were getting S1.25 day. which is 25 cents
more than they were getting under the
Spaniards Now they refuse to go to work
under $3.50. General Wood told the ring
leaders that if they did not instantly go
to work he would import all the negro
laborers from Jamaica that were required
for government purposes. AS a result
several returned to work and enough were
obtained to unload the Port Victor
Twenty miles have SO far been completed
of the road between Santiago and Holguin,
a distance of about 130 miles. This road
When finished will be of great value to
the military department of the province,
as well of inestimabie advantage to the
country districts.
During the Spanish rule there had only
been the merest semblance of a road. moth
ing, in fact, but mountain trail in many
places almost impossible for man and horse
to pass through. The making of this road
me ans that a large body of troops can be
massed at any point in about one-tenth
the time it would formerly have occupied.
General Wood has ordered that in future
no heavy wagons will be allowed on the
public docks, which have just been put in
excellent repair. Railroad iron has been
laid to the extreme end of the docks, and
in future freight will be transferred from
vessels into cars, which at present will un-
load down the road into wagons, but in
the near future ii is probable that the line
will be extended all along the water front
so that merchants in that vicinity will be
able to get their goods transshipped direct
from the cars to their warehouses.

WARNING TO CANADA,
Ffe Toronto World Fears Annexation
to the United states

dispatch from Toronto Ont. last night
says:
The Toronto World, which opposes the
present liberal government at Ottawa. has
a startling editorial today. under the head
ing Canada on the Brink" in which it
warns the people of this country that times
are critical, so far as the maintenance of
Canada as free, Independent and integral
portion of North America is concerned
Unless Canadians" declares the World
ARE fully alive to the situation and speak
out in no uncertain way, they will find
themselves between a grasping annexation
movement in the United States, having for
its end the domination of the whole CONT
nent, and great party in England. pre-
pared to make almost any sacrifice to the
United States in consideration of some kind
OF support of England in her race with
Russia, France and other European pow
ers.
The World then refers to the recent
speech at Macon, Ga. of Maj. Gen. James
H. Wilson of Delaware. in which that gen.
tieman expressed the hope that he would
see the day when our starry flag shall
float everywhere. from the frozen north to
the sunny cline of Central America"
I'VE believe the World proceeds, that
these words of Mr.. Wilson only show too
well the opinion of great number of
Americans when once their appetite for ex-
pansion is aroused in the direction of the
north, ard if once they get it into their
heads that they only have to go far enough
in their great game of bluff, which seems
to be their best and their strongest card in
diplomacy, will force Canada, willy nilly,
into annexation"
In conclusion, the paper says: I'VE are
nearer to absorption than ever we were
Do Canadians realize it?'

chamber the new justice stopped at

it in a distinct voice, and then
was escorted to his seat on

justice by Marshal Wright, the
court remaining standing. He was
welcomed by a cordial shake of the
hand from Justice White, his nearest

CURRENT TOPICS.
THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
]FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS-.

IN the senate, on the 10Th, Mr.. Morgan I'm
ished his four days speech on the Hawaiian
treaty, closing to empty benches. The Teller
resolution providing for the payment of bonds
OF the United States in silver, at the option OF
the government, was then taken up by the de-
ciSive vote of Al to 25....In the house the qVeS-
ton Of reduction in wages was warmly dis
cussed and the cause explained by Mr.. Dingley
as due to the sudden and unexpected fall in the
price of cotton. catching almost all of the large
manufacturers with many months supplies on
hand.
c IN the senate. on the 2lSt, an agreement was
reached to take a final vote on the Teller reSo-
luton, providing that the bonds of the United
States may be paid in silver dollars. and all
pending amendments thereto, should be taken
on the eth before adjournment. The greater
part Of the day was spent in executive ses-
sion ......I In the house the bill TO extend the
publicland laws Of the United States to the
territory of Alaska and to grant a general
railroad right OF way through the territory was
passed. The urgent deficiency bill was sent to
conference with the senate amendment Strik-
ing out the provision requiring the depoSitors
of bullion at government assay offices to pay
the cost OF transportation to the mintS elimi-
mated.
IL the senate, on the 22d, an amendment to
the pension appropriation bill was offered, pro
Viding that hereafter no pension shall be paid
on power OF attorney from pensioners residing
in foreign countries. The Teller resolution,
providing that the bonds of the United States
may be paid in silver dollars, was taken up
lin the house, after the clearing up Of
some odds and ends of legislation, and the
passage of several unimpOrtant measures, Il
resolution was adopted calling upon the state
department for information relative to the mil
itary execution of Col. Ruiz, a Spanish envoy
to the inSurgent camp.
IN the senate, on the 2ith, the proposed an
nexation Of Hawaii was extensively reviewed
by Mr.. Morgan (Ala.). Mr.. Turpie Qnd) de-
livered an elaborate speech in support of the
Teller resolution. The pension bill was de-
bated three hours, but WIS undiSpoSed OF at the
hour OF adjournment. .....In the house two
hours was spent in tranSacting business relat-
ing to the district of Columbia, the remainder
of the day being devoted to consideration of the
Indian appropriation bill
IN tie senate, on the 18th, the open session
was characterized by a heated discussion of the
financial question, with the Teller resolution
for a text, several prominent senators taking
part for or against the resolution ......1n the
house, under the parliamentary fiction of dis
GUESSING the Indian appropriation bill, almost
the entire day was devoted to a political de-
bate, in which the main question was whether
prosperity had come TO the country as a result
of the advent of the present administration
The bill itself received very little attention.

Several weeks ago, it was alleged,
John and Daggert Dial, father and son,
made false atfidavits to the recorder at
Lamar. and procured Il marriage license
for young Dial to marry Lizzie Neither
ly, aged 10, whose parents were opposed
to the marriage.
Netherly attempted to stop the proceedings.
and while away from home for that purpose,
young Dial secured the girl and they went to
Moundvllle and were married. The grand jury
indicted the Dials for making false anidavits
and they were placed in Jail. Their trials we're
held at Lamar, and the jury acquitted
young Dial. The fathers trial resulted in q
hung jury. The Netherlys were at the trial,
and late at night, before starting for home, the
