CARS RUNNING IN CLEVELAND.
The Union Men Make IL Unpleasant
For the Nonunionists.

CLEVELAND, June 26. - Only one
outbreak of violence attended the re.
sumption of traffic on all the lines of the
Big Consolidated street railway yestcr-
day. There was objection in some parts
of the city to the retention of the non.
union men who were kept by the com.
pany. a party of % men assembled
near the Brooklyn bridge, sjust south Of
the city, and whenever car came along
with II nonunon crew the passengers
were asked to disembark and wait for a
car manned by union crew. In most
cases the passengers did as requested.
Finally nonunion conductor undertook
to argue with the crowd and he was
promptly struck over the head with Il
club and he and the motorman driven
away. The mob refused to permit the
car to move until union crew came
along and pushed 1t to the barns.
As rule the old men were glad the
strike was settled, though there was
some grumbling because the nonunion
men were kept. 1t is predicted that all
the nonunion men will he glad to leave
the city within 30 days. though the COM
pany imposed as one of the conditions of
the agreement for the settlement of the
trouble that all the new men should be
treated with consideration by the old en-
ployees.

Awaiting the Sfax,

BREST, France, June 2S.-The delay
in the arrival here of the French cruiser
SfaX, which left the waters of French
Guiana June 10 with Captain Alfred
Dreyfus on board, increases the interest
in the landing of the famous prisoner.
All sorts of reports and suppositions are
current. For the moment attention is
concentrated on the putting to sea yes
terday afternoon of n lighthouse relief
steamer. Such vessels usually start in
the morning and return in the evening.
Consequently the departure of the steam
er has given rise to the conjecture that
she has gone to meet the Sfax and that
Dreyfus will be transferred on board of
her.

MANY PORTS OPENED
General Otis Raises Blockade
of Philippine Harbors.
ACUlNALDO'S ASSASSINATION DENIED
Ships which Have Been Tied Up
For Months VIII Resume Busi-
q ness at Once-Lively scenes
at the Custom House.

MANILA. June 2S. 49, Major General
Otis has ordered the opening up to trade
Of many important ports that have been
closed since the outbreak These include
San Fernando, on the west coast of Lu
zon; Aparri, on the north coast; Curimao
and all ports in the islands of Samar and
Leyte.
Many ships used in the intcrisland
commerce have been tied mp in the har
Dor here for months, and the shippers
and merchants have been urging the gov
ernment to raise the blockade. When
the decision was made known yesterday,
the scene in the custom house was as an
mated as the floor of an American stock
exchange. 1t was busy day. Ship
owners rushed TO get their clearance pa
pers.
There will be great boom in the
hemp business, which has been at
standstill. The ships will race to bring
the first cargoes before the demand weak.
ems. AS there is heavy export duty on
hemp this will greatly increase the rev.
enues. The interests of the natives as
well as the merchants and traders gen
orally led General Otis to take this ac-
ton. Delegations from the southern is
lands told him that the cessation of busi-
ness was bringing much suffering to
peaceful inhabitants.
Gunboats will protect the shipping in
some ports, but elsewhere shippers must
risk coniiscation by the insurgents, who
exact heavy tribute of all ships they per-
NIT to sail.
The rumor that Aguinaldo had been
assassinated was in circulation here for,
several days. 1t was not believed, but
its currency gave it definite form. Ac-
cording to the story General Pho del Pillar
called upon Aguinaldo on June 10 and
accused him of causing General Luna to
be killed. Aguinaldo denied responsible
ty and added that he deeply regretted
Luna's death. General Pho del Pillar, as
the story goes, called him a liar and
scoundrel, shot him twice in the head
with his revolver and walked away un-
molested.
The report finds no credence in Ma
Mia. A Filipino general, mounted on a
big horse, with a numerous staff, has
since been seen haranguing the Filipino
troops around san Fernando, in Pampan-
ga province, and this officer is supposed
to be Aguinaldo

APPEAL TO MOTHER COUNTRY
Two Englishmen Charged With Lar
ceny Want Protection.

George Lackey and Henry Hipps, the two
men who were arrested and fined In con-
nect.on with the larceny of an over
coat from an office In the Alabama Ma
tional bank building few days ago, have
appealed their cases to the British ambas-
sador at Washington, claiming to be the
subjects of her majesty, Queen Victoria.
A letter has been forwarded to Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the ambassador, who Is asked
to interest himself in behalf of the men,
who claim they are innocent of the charge.
The letter was written by Lackey, who
claims to be a tailor by profession and
who is indignant at the treatment he re-
ceived at the hands of Judge Feagin, who
imposed fine of 500 and thirty days ex-
ira on the streets. Both men are conf
dent that their cases will be taken up by
the ambassador, who, they say, will de-
mand their release.

PRIMARY SATURDAY.
Same Managers Who Held Last Elec-

All oil the managers of the primary cleo
ton which Is to be run day after tomorrow
between Robert j. Lowe and r. G. Hewitt
for the sixth place on the Jefferson dele
cation to the constitutional conveuEion
have been appointed, and nearly all the
other arrangements have been completed.
With very few exceptions, the managers
are just the same at all the boxes as they
were when the original primary was held
on March IS. Both Mr.. Lowe and Mr..
Hewitt consented to this, as all of the man
ayers were appointed at time when there
was no contest between these two gentle
men, and as they are still supposed to be
impartial in the matter.
One thing that has been decided by the
committee on arrangements in charge Of
the primary, is that no member of the
county executive committee shall act as
returning officer for any of the boxes. The
members of the committee, who are the
supreme Judges of the election, should not
have to sit in Judgment on their own ac-
tons while they were handling the boxes,
1t Is argued.
