BIG STRIKE AT HAVANA.
Serious Trouble Threatened By Three
Thousand Stevedores.

Thousand Stevedores.
New York, Feb. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says: 4 strike
which Will involve 5000 to $500 long
shoremen and stevedores is threatened,
and should it come the authorities fear
that it will bring Cuban affairs to an
early crisis.
The men are desperate and ugly, and
strikes in the pasa have invariably re-
suited 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 suspi-
cion. The longshoremen have been
working fourteen hours a day for an
average pay of s1.T5 in Spanish silver.
They demand So for ten hours a day and
will probably make trouble if their de-
mands are not met.
The men fear and respect General
Ludlow, and he may be able to prevent
the strike which now seems inevitable
General Ludlow compelled the West
ern railroad last week to deal fairly
with the engine drivers, who struck,
and the men believe he will now right
their wrongs.

news may come of four simultaneous bat

General Walker, are leaving Kimberley
for the sodth, it Is regarded as not impos-
sible that Col. Kekewioh is already

a number Of officials today, and IL was
stated that the Manauense was In fist

on Octoter 26. Her engines had been

were said to lie In the best Of condition.
Her hold was said TO bs full Of supplies
for the soldiers and the officials here are
At loss to explain the alleged shortress
of the food supplies That she was undes-
manned IS absolutely denied. because had
she been. clearance pagers from this port
would not have teen issued. Regarding
the alleged unsea worthiness Of the vessel,
IL can lie stated that she was inspected by
the treasury department and was passed
as In first class trim before she left this
port. Lloyds local inspector, Captain
Metcalf, also inspected the vessel and
passed her. The local inspectors OF hulls
and boilers, made an examination and
found her engines In excellent condition
The local Inspectors of hulls and toilers
say they made thorough examination
and found her engines In excellent con-
ditiUn, and In fact that ths Manauense
was generally credited with being one
of the best fitted vessels in the transport
service. The officials further say that the
only source OF foundation for the report
that she was under -provisioned may have
boen with regard to her supply of fresh
meats, OF which she took Il good supply
from here, but which may have been
spoiled from some accident to the refrig-
Grating plant which gave trouble al
Honolulu. II the typhoon through which
the Manauense passed was severe one,
they say, 1t is not at all unlikely that
some aosident might have happened to
her machinery, necessitating its shutting
down for several days so that repairs
should be effected. This Is the only ex'
PLANTATION given regarding the reported
rotten condition of her machinery and
they assert that the fact that the MAnau-
snse lived through the typhoon 10 enougs
to contradict the story Of her unsea-
wershiness.
