whatever trouble the caterer experienced
was due to differences with the Walters

NO ASSURANCE OF
CUBAN INDEPENDENCE

WASHINGTON, Aug 30.-President
McKinley's proclamation announcing the
taking of the Cuban census having been
published in Cuba to-day by Major Cen
eral Brooke was made public at the White
to find in this message a clear outline of
the policy of the administration in deal
ing with Cuba will be disappointed. The
message is very brief. 1t gives no eX-
plicit assurance of national independence
for the island. The Presidents reference
to the establishment of an efficient system
of government will generally be con-
strued as an indication that national in
dependence is contemplated, though it
might be interpreted as looking only to
local self-gOvernment under the supreme
authority of the United States. ms Is
the proclamation:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
To the People of Cuba: The disorganized
condition Of your island resulting from the
war and the absence of any generally recog-
niZed authority aside from the temporary mill
tarv control of the United States have made
il necessary that the United States should fol-
low the restoration of order and peaceful in
dustry by giving its assistance and supervision
TO the successive steps by which you will pro-
ceed to the establishment of an effective system
of self-gOVernment.
AS a preliminary step In the performance of
this duty. l have directed that census of the
people Of Cuba be taken and have appointed
competent and disinterested citizens of Cuba
as enumerators and supervisors. 1t is impor-
tant for the proper arrangement of your new
government that the information sought shall
be fully and accurately given. and l request
that by every means in your power you aid the
officers appointed in the performance of their
duties. WILLIAM MCKINLEY.

Curious Apparent Feature of the Great
Strike at Chicago.

Curious Apparent Feature of the Great
Strike ut Chicago.
Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE press commit
tee, composed of a representative each
from the striking brickmakers' organ
ization, the Building Trades council,
and the Contractors association yes
terday issued statement as to the rea-
son for the present strike in union
brick yards here, from which it ap-
pears that the men struck because the
south side brick manufacturers have
been at them for years to Organize"
the brickmakers in certain north side
yards. The press committee says this
has been yearly demand of the man
ufacturers of the south side and that
the strike was inaugurated for the pur-
pose of acceding to the wishes of the
manufacturers aforesaid.
There was a remarkable feature of
the strike announced by the union
managers yesterday. 1t was that all
the non-union men who have remained
at work on the north side had at last
agreed to join the strike, thus COM
pletely shutting off the supply of brick.
both union and nOn-union products. 1t
is for the purpose of forcing these men
into the union that the present move
ment has been begun. AT two of the
non-union yards it was said by an
evening paper that no work was going
on and at one of these, Week.-Mrs., it
was stated that the men had gone on a
strike.
William Weckler, president of the
Weckler Brick company, said: I'VE are
having no trouble with our employees"
and added: I'VE have no grievance
and have nothing to do with the I'M
ion" Incidentally Weckler took occa-
sion to deny the report that non-uniOn
employees of north side brick yards we're
arming themselves in anticipation Of
an encounter with the strikers forces.
Nothing could be more peaceable than
the non-union men," he said; but this
effort on the part of the Briekmakers'
alliance to force the north side yards
men into the union will fall fat"

Pig Bone bracelets.

The natives of the New Hebrides
islands, in the Pacific ocean, raise pigs
for bracelets. The upper canine teeth
of the pigs are removed. and that gives
the lower tusks n chance to grow as
much as they wish. The lower teeth
grow, and finding no resistance, attain
a good length. The teeth grow in 4
spiral, and the tip often lies beside the
root of the tooth Very rarely the
point grows into the root of the tooth
and makes n complete circle. 4 COM

MINE TROUBLES IN INDIANA.
What Pocket Mine Operator Says-Sit-

uation at Evansville.
Indianapolis, Aug. rs. w. Little,
one of the mine operators in the Evans
vile district, came to this city yester
day to confer with Governor Mount in
regard to the condition of the Evans
vile strike. AS the governor was at
Jacksonville with the state finance
board Little will remain until his re-
turn. He says he desires the governor
to hear heoperator's side of the strike.
He does not believe the governor has
heard this side of the question. If the
state is to diSarm any one, Little as
serts, it should disarm the striking
miners, and not those who are trying
to work in the mines. He says his
employees have violated their contract
with him by leaving their work before
any attempt had been made to arbitrate
the difficulty.
His employees left his mine, he says,
without giving him any notice of their
intentions or their desires, and he says
he is yet ignorant of what they want,
as he has received no official communi-
cation from them. He has three men
employed to watch his mine north of
Petersburg. few nights ago, he says,
they were assaulted and horribly beat
en-. 1t is said the assault was made
by fifteen miners who came from a
mine fifteen miles distant from the
place in which the three men were en-
plcyed.
Evansville, Ind, Aug monday
evening as the non-unioniStS were
leaving the John Ingle mine they were
nssailed by a crowd of boys, who threw
stones and clubs, the assault continu-
ing while the non-unionists made their
way to the boat for conveyance to this
city. Finally one of the non-unionists
used his revolver, firing one shot, which
few wild. AS a result of this dis
turbance there was clash yesterday
morning between Operator Ingle and
the deputy sheriff guarding the prop
erty. IHgle accused the officers of be-
ing derelict in their duty, finally order
ing them away. The deputies then
withdrew.
