HAVANA S STRIKE ENDED.
Much Ill Feeling Between the American
Soldiers and the Police.

Havana, April 11.--The united railroads
strike was ended to-day by the order OF
the military administration that trains
should be manned by second and third
class engineers. in order to carry the
mails and government stores. The strik-
ers. fearful of losing their jobs. absolutely
surrendered without conditions and trains
are now running on schedule time.
Patrick John Tighte, Company M. I'd
artillery. was killed by Policeman Ramon
Caesar at Elvedado last night. 1t seems
Tighte had been drinking and caused an
uproar on the train. The report was that
he insulted a woman and Policeman Cae-
sar dragged him off the train. This affair
and the wounding of Condor on Sunday
night, with several other minor rows be-
tween the soldiers and police, has caused
a good deal of i'll feeling. The citizens for
the most part take the side of the police.
The dispute over the management of the
cemeteries. the revenues from which are
large was settled to-day by General
Brooke. who issued decree that cemeter-
les purchased by municipalities would be
managed by them, while those owned by
the church and the municipalities cojont-
ly shall be managed by the latter, the re-
ceipts to be shared proportonately. With
respect to cemeteries exclusively owned
by the church, they are to be managed by
the church, but in respect to police and
hygiene are to be under the direction OF
the municipal authorities.

subsided enough to allow the governor
to be heard. Colonel Roosevelt spoke
highly of the college men in his regi-

his countrymen. Said he: Much has

to expect much from you in return.

detective told story q few evenings
ago which illustrates the ingratitude OF
criminals. The migrate, says a Chica-
90 exchange, was one ofthe principals
in the McGee murder, which was COM
mitted little over year ago. His
name was w. j. Willows, a well appear
ing youth, but the man who decoyed
the aged creamery agent into the IN
diana avenue apartment building where
Jacks killed him. Willows had "been III
trouble" before that, and the man who
came to the 'front.' for him was the
keeperof lunch counter near the Grim
inal Court building. The mans wife
had known Willows in his days of re-
spectability in a small Michigan towi.
She urged her husband to do what he
could for him, and, with money for at
torney's fees and few well placed
words of eommendation, Willows was
helped to get out of the scrape The
lunch-eounter man was aclose personal
friend of the old man McGee, and liked
him much. He talked to Willows about
him in their short acquaintanceship IN
the days of Willows trouble, and the
lunch-counter man told his acquaint
ance how much this friend had done
for him, yet, while in Jail, Willows me-
Jacks and the two of them formed thu
plan of robbery which led to McGee'i
murder. The lunch-counter man los
his best friend through a needless ant

BRAVE JAPANESE WOMEN.
How Count Ito's Wife Saved His
Life During a Rebellion
Many Years Ago.

A japanese lady is noted for her
courage, her strength of mind and her
self-possession. 1t is wonderful to
think what physical trials and dangers
these fragile little creatures will under
go in an emergency. The late prime
minister's life was saved ey the cour-
age and presence of mind of his wife.
Many years ago, when quite young
man, during a rebellion, Count Ito was
hiding from his enemies, who, having
tracked him to his house, send band
of .'soshis" to assassinate him. On
hearing his enemies approaching, and
trapped like rat in its hole, the count
drew his sword and prepared to die,
but the countess whispered: do not
die; there is hope still" and, removing
the "hibatchi," or fire box, and lifting
up the mats and the planks beneath, she
induced her husband to conceal himself
in the hollow space which exists under
the floor of all japanese houses. The
murderers broke into the room just as
the fire box had been replaced and de-
manded of the countess their victim.
In vain they threatened and cruelty i'll
treated her, dragging her about the
room by her long black hair. But It
was of no avail; they could not shake
her resolute fidelity Thanks to her
courage Count Ito escaped and has
lived to give to his country new con-
stitufion
