BLOCKADE RAISED
At Washington So the President Will
Start for Boston Tonight.

New York, Feb. ia clear, sunny
sky, temperature 20 degrees above
zero at noon and a light breeze were
the weather conditions in Washington
large gangs of men were at work cart
ing away the snow The principal
street railroads were again in opera
ton, blockaded householders reappeared
on the streets and business in many
lines was resumed. The steam rail-
roads are making heroic efforts to clear
their lines and to limited extend traf-
fic has been resumed north and today
will be nearly in full operation to the
south.
The Pennsylvania road started its
first train out at $50 this morning, the
Colonial express. Its tracks east have
but the lines west are not yet in shape
to resume travel. Closely following the
Colonial were several other trains and
the company now hopes to maintain its
schedule for the east.
The Southern started the 11:15 a. m.
limited out on time. No train got in,
however. from the south during the
morning hours. On the Baltimore &
Ohio the tracks east have been cleared
and trains from Jersey City and inter
mediate points began coming in here
late last night. Several trains also were
started out this morning with the ex-
pectation of maintaining the schedule.
The st. Louis limited, which had been
stalled in a snow bank near Boyds,
Md, for two days arrived today, and
it is thought trains west Stbound will be
sent through regularly very soon,
though there were immense drifts in
cuts all along the line.
The Potomac river is still covered
with a 12-inch coating of ice and all
river navigation has been suspended.
No immediate resumption of water
traffic is in sight, the big Norfolk and
Washington steamers having suspended
operations entirely, so that passengers
for Fortress Monroe and the south must
choose the mail route.
President Mckinley and party will
leave here at o'clock this afternoon
on a Pennsylvania railroad special train
for Boston, where he will be entertained
by the Home Market club. The party
will consist of the president, Secretaries
Alger and Long, Postmaster General
Smith and Secretaries Bliss, Porter and

A FIERCE CONTEST
In the House Over the Nicaragua
Canal Bill.

Washington, Feb 15.-One of the f1ercest
contests of the session was in progress
when the house met today. The friends
and opponents of the plan to attach the
Nicaragua canal bill to the sundrY civil
bill were working aSSiduouSly and every
argument which could influence members
one way the other was being bSCught
to bear. The fate of the canal bill al this
congress was in the balance.
Mr.. Sherman of New York, who has
been snowbound between New York and
morning He was designated as chair
man of the committee of the whole by
the speaker when the Sundry civil bill was
taken up, but in his absence MIR. Hopkins
of Illinois occupied the chair
Ordinarily the member originally deSig-
mated would resume the chair upon his
return from such an absence, but owing
to the fact that Mr.. Hopkins had heard
two hours of the debate yesterday upon
the points of order raised by the chair
man of the appropria tions committee
cided that he should properly hear the
mainder of the argument and make the
ruling.
Some time was spent at the opening of
the session with routine matters. Just
before the motion was made to 20 into
committee of the whole Mr.. Hepburn of
Iowa, who is conducting the fight on be-
half of the Nicaragua canal amendment,
asked unanimous consent that the canal
next. but objection was made.
The house then went into committee of
the whole, Mr. Hopkins in the chair, on
the sundry civil bill, the pending question
being the point of order raised against the
canal amendment

UGLY AND
DESPERATE.
Cuban LOngshOremen and Steve
dOreS at Havana
Threaten to Strike For Ameri-
can Day and American Pay.
BLOODSHEDIS LIKELY
Unless General Ludlow Can Ad-
Just the Trouble.
He Has Settled One Strike in
Favor of Strikers.

New York, Feb. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
strike which will involve from 5000
to $500 longshoremen and stevedores is
threatened which the authorities believe
will bring Cuban affairs to an early
crisis. These men are desperate and
ugly, and strikes in the past have in
variably resulted in serious bloodshed
AS the strikers will be largely Cubans,
it can be readily understood that a col
lision between them and the American
soldiers would have most serious con-
sequences, coming at this time when
each side views the other with sus-
piciOn. The longshOremen have been
working fourteen hours a day for an
average pay of $1.75 in Spanish silver.
They demand 50 for ten hours a day
and will probably make trouble if their
demands are not met.
The men fear and respect Gen. Lud-
low and he may be able to prevent the
strike. which now seems inevitable.
Gen. Ludlow compelled the Western
railroad last week to deal fairly with
the engine drivers who struck and the
men believe he will now right their
wrongs
On the other hand, Gen. Ludlow said
that rioting would not be tolerated, and
even the CubanS who dislike the Amer
lean general know that he can not be
bluffed and are slow to give him cause
to call upon his troops.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Collision Between the Etruria and the
Marblehead Seemed'Imminent

New York Feb. .15.-The Tribune says:
The passengers of the Cunard liner
Etruria, which arrived yesterday had
the exciting experience on Monday
morning of narrowly avoiding coils
ion with the United States cruiser Mar
blehead.
At 10 o'clock on the morning named,
When about 40 miles from Sandy Hook,
the officers on the bridge of the Cum
arder were startled by the apparft1on
as captain Ferguson described it, of a
large vessel looming out of the thick
clouds of driving sleet and snow on the
port bow only a few lengths ahead of
the Etruria and making directly across
the bows of the latter vessel. Chief Of
fcer Barr was the officer on the watch
and was on the bridge with Captain
Ferguson. Instantly Mr.. Barr, divin-
ing the danger that threatened, signal
led to reverse the engines. Then, when
the EtTuria had slowed down to a
Standstill. the order was given to go
full speed ahead and with the helm
hard a-starboard, the Cunarder passed
closely under the stern of the Marble
head. So close in fact were the two YES
sells that, despite the mist, the officers
on the bridges waved their hands to
one another, in thankfulness, no doubt,
of the escape from the collision which
for a few minutes seemed so imminent.
At the time the cruiser was headed to
the eastward. She left Boston for Ha-
Vana about the middle of last week.
On Friday, however, the Marblehead
covered with ice, was reported to have
sought shelter at Provincetown, Mass.
That she was in the path of the incom-
ing liner would seem to indicate that
she had resumed her long journey
southwark but had been caught by the
blizzard and was riding it out the
Long Island coast.
Captain Ferguson of the Etruria was
averse to saying much about the es-
cape, but he remarked that if his ves-
sci had struck the Marblehead abeam
would have happened undoubtedly
h6Rn
the cruiser must assuredly have gone

Americans Had a Lieutenant
and a Private Wounded.

Manila, Feb. 15-11:55 a. m.-Col. Pot
ter {Ldeutenant Colonel c. L. Pooster OF
the signal corps) arrived from Iloilo
yesterday evening with dispatches from
Brigadier NJ P. Miller to Major General
Otis commanding the United States for
ces in the Philippine islands.
On Sunday afternoon Gen. Miller or
dered a reconnaissance in force to aScer-
tain the enemy's position. Major Cheat
hams battalion of the Tennessee Volun-
teer regiment marched beyOund MOlO
without finding the enemy and returned
to uoilo.
Keller's battalion of tAe Eighteenth
United States infantry with two Hotch-
kiss guns and one Gatling gun marched
towards Jaro. Midway between IIoilo
and Jaro this battalion encountered
large body of the enemy, occupying both
sides of the road who met the advance
OF the American troops with a severe
and well directed fire. The Americans
deployed and returned the fire with a
number of vOlleys. The troops advanced
steadily supported by the Hotchkiss
and Gatling guns and drove the enemy
through Jaro to the open country be-
yond. The town of Jaro was found to
be deserted and all portable property
had been removed. When the Ameri-
cans entered the place there were only
a few Chinese there.
At 4:1O o'clock p. m. Capt. Griffiths
raised the American flag over the pre-
stdencia-
During the fighting outside of the
town Lieutenant Frank Bowles of the
Eighteenth infantry while working the
light battery was shot in the leg. In
addition one private was seriously
wounded and two were slightly injur-
ed. The rebel loss was severe. All was
quiet on Monday when Col. Potter left
Iloilo. Two natives attempted to slip
past the United States cruiser Olym-
pia during the night in a boat. They
failed to respond when hailed but kept
padding along. After a warning shot
a sentry fired at the boat and killed
one of the occupants and wounded the

fired from houses bearing white flags
on the American outposts, Colonel Smith
with Companies L, D and K, of the
California volunteers, proceeded to clean
out the enemy along his front. The
FilipinOS opposed him from the
brush and several skir1nishes occurred
during which nine of the Californians
were slightly wounded before the enemy
was driven out. The work proceeded
today in a systematic manner, a gum
boat sheiling the villages and working
their rapid fire guns very effectively on
the jungle.
The entire California regiment with
the exception of two companies, four
companies of the Washington regiment,
two companies of the Idaho regiment
and battery of the Sixth artillery were
engaged. The insurgents were driven
towards Lake Laguna de Bayo. They
held their fire, apparently being short
of ammunition, but they fought des-
perately.
The American outposts in this direc-
tion are now fully u miles out

Walk Out Along the Entire

RELATIONS STRAINED
Between the Company and the
Order of Telegraphers.
Originated Over Discharge of a
Texas Operator.
The Story Is Somewhat Dis
credited at Ft. Worth.

Fort Worth, Tex, Feb. 15.-The
strained relations existing between the
Santa Fe Railway company and the
members of the Order of Railway Tele-
graphers is likely to soon culminate in
q strike. The chances are said to be
favorable for a strike being ordered on
the entire Santa Fe road of 5000 miles.
The present trouble had it's origin
April last when an operator was dis
charged in Paris, Tex. The grievance
committee of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers has several times at
tempted to patch up the difficulty by
comforting with officials of the Gulf,
but the committee received no satisfac-
ton Recently President Ripley was
appealed to by the grievance commit
tee, but he also refused to consider the
matter until recently, when he appoint
ed a meeting of himself and the COM
mittee, to take place in Chicago this
week ]. w. Hickey of Fort Worth

Just the matter if in their power.
These men will be joined at Peoria,
