Havana, Sept 27.-"There will not be
a general strike" said Gen. Ludlow
last evening. II have sufficient assur-
ances to satisfy me on this point"
To all intents and purposes the city
is under martial law. The military gov
ernor has issued long proclamation,
which is in part as follows:
''The United States of America is
pledged to the establishment in Cuba
of q stable and orderly government.
"A pledge made alike to the Cubans
and to the world will surely be full
filled. The working men of Havana
are being tempted toward a fatal step,
which, if taken, Will set back their ex-
ercise of liberty and enjoyment of
rights of man for an indefinite period.
They are being urged to a genera
strike, to the total suspension of ac-
customed occupations and iabors,
which are essential TO the common
welfare and upon which depend ever
the very lives of the people. The rea-
son assigned is the demand for work.

fact such a demand has not been made
No body of employers has been
asked to shorten the day TO eight hours
No petition has been submitted to an
ayuntamiento or to the American au-
thorities.
AT the instigaton of n few self
seeking demagogues backed by the
more numerous element that prefers
idleness to labor. and excitement of any
kind to the calner life of thrift ana

Of Havana are urged to forego all la
Dor to extinguish the lights that pro-
tect property and discourage crime, to
close the bake shops that furnish food,
and If that could be accomplished. to
cut off the water supply. Meanwhile
the trades and occupations are to be

food Is to fail. Upon whom would this

Washington, Sept PA Washington
special to the Kansas City Star says:
Vice President Hobart, 1t is now we'll
understood among leading republicans,
will not be a candidate for re-nomina-
ton and reelection. His health does
not improve and his physicians have
given him to understand that he must
drop politics. The only contingency
which can change the determination
reached is material and speedy inn
provement in the vice presidents con-
dition, with the assurance of the ply
sicians that he will recover from the
trouble now affecting him. Along with
the statement of Mr.. Hobart's retire-
ment the statement is made that Gov
ernor Roosevelt of New York, will not
be a candidate for the vice presidential
nomination.
Mr.. Roosevelt's desire apparently is
to be re-nominated and reelected gov
ernor and then lay his wires for the
republican nomination for president in
1904. New York will, however. present
candidate and believes that it will
succeed in nominating him. Senator
Plat has his eye on the man he thinks
should receive the honor. 1t is prob
able that Elihu Root. the present Sec
rotary of war; is the man. Senator
Depew could have the nomination, so
far as New York is concerned, If he
should express the desire, but he has
not yet intimated this.
Vice President Hobart may have a
great deal to do with naming his own
successor on the ticket. He may want
the honor to again go to New Jersey.
and the state may fight hard to carry
out his wishes. In this case the favor
lite would probably be Attorney General
Ciiiggs, if he cared for the nomination.
The president is a great admirer of his
attorney general and would no doubt
be agreeable to such Il nomination.
1t is minated that the western re-
publicans, in case of the withdrawal oil
Mr.. Hobart, will demand the place.

CIVILIZED WARFARE.
Capt. Grozier Thinks Conference a
,rhe uapIIe KeDlly NNas Fruitful.

Washington Sept. 2I.--Capt. Croziei
of the ordnance bureau, who was a.
member of the International confer
enca AT The Hague, has returned to his
duties in the war department. Capt
C,roZier is we'll pleased With what wa!
accomplished. He says that II Was
known as soon as the conference as
seubied that there would be nothing
done regarding the decrease of armies
and the cessation of invention and
progress in the matter of offensive and
defensive warfare, but the subject vas
considered and given attention, though
nothing approaching an agreement was
ever reached.
To Capt. CroZier the most important
and interesting feature of the confer
ence which was agreed upon is the
treaty for an International code of civ
iliZed warfare. The basis of the code
was the celebrated order issued in 1867
By the United States during the civil
war in which code for the treatment
of prisoners, non-combatants. spies
women, churches and property was
provided.
The most serious point of difference
| in this matter was the treatment of
those citizens in an invaded country
who. without officers, organization or
uniform. fought in defense of their
| homes and country.
| 1t was finally decided that men in an
invaded country should be considered
as soldiers if they complied with these
| provisions:
| Were organized under responsible
officer; carried arms openly; wore
some distinctive badge or emblem and
observed the laws and customs of war.
These regulations are not required In
/ case of sudden invasion, so that they
Icannot be complied with, provided the
combatants observe the laws and Gus.
toms of war.
1 The protection Of NOM mbatants, OF
women and children and of property is
/ provided for and the treatment and
definition of spies is one of the articles
| Works of art are no longer considered
spoils of war, and are not to be carried
away or destroyed. The destruction OF
public buildings and other public prop
elty is not allowed unless it is abso-
llutely necessary for military purposes
4 Private property is not to be seized
4 and held except in cases of necessity
and is not to be taken unless absolutely
Il needed; church property is to be re-
spected and the rules Of the Red Cross
now used on land are extended to mari
time warfare.
j The action of the United States il
taking the lead in the matter of tn,
humaneness in warfare back in 1856
was favorably commented upon by {
, number Of the delegates.

New York, Sept 27.-From a source
which is considered to be a reliable
general outline of the Will of Cornelius
Vanderbilt has been obtained, Accord

life of the family mansion at Fifth ave

haps, small legacy.
Each of the five children will receive
probably $l0,000,0O0 and the remainder
of the estate viii be divided between the
Two youngest sons, Alfred G. and Regi-
maid. Cornelius. Jr., the eldest son.
therefore. will receive the same amount
as is given to his sisters, Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney and Gladys.
Mr. Vanderbilt provided in his will, II
is said, that the shares of the two
youngest sons and Gladys shall remain
in trust until they reach certain age,
and that trust fund should be created
to provide for Mrs. Vanderbilts annui-
ty. William X Vanderbilt, Chauncey
NJ Depcw and Edward v. Rossiter are
named as trustees and executors of the
estate. The will was drawn by Mr..
Vanderbilt and was modelled after that
of his father.
1t is expected that there will be no
contest and that no question about the
document Will be raised. It is felt by
long time friends of Mr.. Vanderbilt
that the will leaves no real ground for
a contest on the part Of Cornelius, Jr.
and it is believed that his father-in-
law. Richard T. Wilson, would moi
countenance such course.
1t has been decided not to offer the
will for probate, however, until aftel

It Races for Safety but
Goes Down in Harbor's
Mouth.

Chicago. Nov. 16.--The steamer
Conemaugh of the Anchor Line,
sank at the mouth of the harbor
early this morning, after having Il
race for safety. The steamboat
bound for Chicago from Buffalo, in
the dense fog that hung over Lake
Michigan, ran into the halfway
crib. mile and half out from the
harbor entrance, and Il great hole
was stove in her bow.
The boat commenced TO fill with
water fast, and there was a DISPOSE
ton to rush for the boats. But the
captain gave orders to turn on all
steam and make quick run for the
harbor and commanded the men to
stand at their posts. The engineer
had the steam at full head and the
timbers groaned under the unwont-
ed strain. and there was danger of
an accident from the extreme pres
sure and speed. But Captain
Cronkhite felt that lives depended
upon the quickness with which he
could reach the shallowcr water of
the harbor entrance.
As the mouth Of the harbor was
reached the mouth of the harbor
floods of water poured into the hold
and put out the fires.
