of the Sudanese is one of his favorite
themes; yet it was from them he got his
story. Moreover, his tale is not In entire
agreement with what we know of Cor
dons habits. In the Chinese war he led
his troops IN person, and with undaunted
bravery, yet, If we remember, his only
weapon was a walking-stick. Stll, there

From the San Francisco Examiner.
Those who spend their time breaking

CUBAN LABOR TRC JULES.
Several Strikes Threaten to Occur IA
the City OF E4avana.

Havana, Aug. 2S--Ihe strike of the
mnsons continues. Chief of Police Car
dclas sent IL message to the ccln.H tee
asking them to call and see him for a
discussion of the whole matter, but the
committee did not respond.
The report that the men employed on
the wharfs had gone on strike was UNI
founded. The carpenters, however. are
expected to strike and it is rumored
that the bakers will also strike unless
they receive substantial advance in
wages. For some time the bakers have
been much dissatisfied
In anticipation of this strike the bread
sellers have raised the price from cents
to s cents a pound, and they pretend to
be confident of their ability to control
the market. 1t is doubtful, though.
whether the sellers can hold together if
the bakers strike, so badly are they or
ganiZed.
The coachmen again threaten to strike,
but the chief of police does not believe
they will execute the threat
At a meeting of members of the propa-
ganda committee Of the Cuban National
league at the Sporting club Senior Junco
sharply criticised the organizing com
mittee of the Cuban National party,
cha :,ing it with failure to keep it's agree
mtntS made at former meetings He
said the local committees had no power
to determine the methods and conditions
of electing delegates, as these details
should he settled once for all by the or
ganIsng committee, adding that if what
had been done was not rectified the re-
suit would be worthless.
Senior Remirez censured the organizing
committee of the National party. though
along different lines. He praised the
leaders of the revolution, to whom, he
declared belonged of right the power to
direct the destiny of Cuba. Turning
then to the duty of the Cuban National
league, he urged it's members to sacrifice
their personal ambitions of every sort in
order to allow reason and right to tri-
umph. In conclusion he proposed the
issuance of manifesto to the country
which should recount the dealings of the
league with the National party and set
forth basis upon which the principles
of the league might be worked out.
Senior Collazo said what was wanted
was that all should work for one end, no
matter whether they did or did not agree.
Lie suggested that the committee of the
league should make specific charges
against the National party with the
idea of compromise, remarking that he
had been elected delegate of the Cuban
National party and that even though no
compromise were made he would accept
the election.
Senior 'Junso, who spoke again, favored
the suggestion of Senior Collazo and the
latter's proposal was finally adopted
