BUFFALO STRIKE
GETTING SERIOUS
Strikers Refuse Proposition of
Carriers Association
1000 More to Go Out.

Buffalo, May 6.-The Lake Carriers as
sociation tonight abandoned its efforts to
settle the dispute between Contractor VIII
liam J. Connors and the grain shovelers.
The state board of mediation and arbitra-
ton will remain here for some time to in
vestigate, but it has lost hope of ever be-
ing able to bring the contractor and the
men together.
Contractor Connors was called before
the conference committee and requested to
state what concessions he would make to
the men. Mr. Connors said he would do
anything that was fair, but that he would
refuse to abandon his contract in COM
pliance with the request of the strikers.
Finally an agreement was reached and at
5 o'clock tonight the proposition in type
written form was laid before the grain
shovelers assembled at their hall. 1t was
submitted first to President Mcmahon, of
the Grain Shovelers' association.
The proposition was to the effect that
Mr.. Connors would agree to abolish the
saloon boss system; dummies would not
be placed on the pay rolls that a repre-
sentative citizen of Buffalo would be ap-
pointed with power to investigate all COM
plants made by the men in the future,
and that the men would receive $1.S5 per
year.
President Mcmahon declared Immediately
after reading the proposition that he re-
jected it, and would refuse to submit it 10
the men. The committee of labor men
urged him to permit the men to vote ON
it, but Mcmahon refused. Instead he walk
ed to the front of the stage and said: -
"a fake proposition has been submitted
to us by the Lake Carriers Association. As
il provides for continuance of the con-
tract system I have rejected 1t in your
behalf" ~
The grain shovelers cheered the an
nouncement enthusiastically.
A final effert will be made tomorrow
through Bishop Quigiey of the Catholic -cfio-
eese here to make terms with the men.
1t was announced tonight at the monthly
meeting the men at the elevators and coal
beavers docks would go out Monday. This
will add nearly 1890 to the ranks of the
strikers.

troit with minister win proceed immediate-
This IS the first report the navy depart
ment has had from the commander of the
Detroit, with one exception, since she ar
rived at Bluefields. 1t is pleaded by the
Nicaraguan authorities, in answer to our
complaints against the tampering with our
cablegrams, that the wires were unservice-
able. Port Limon is about a days run
from Biueflelds. The Detroit will probably
reach Colon by Monday, and return to her
station at Bluefields by the end of next
week.
The minister referred to as being aboard
is United States Minister Merry, who came
down to Bluefeds from Managlla to adjust
the dispute between the American mer-
chants and General Torres, and the fact
that he feels able to leave Bluefields at
this time is taken here as an indication
that no crisis exists there.
The change in the order of the move
ments of the Detroit was probably brought
about by the receipt of the cable message
from Minister Merry, which indicated that
through the transfer to the field of diplo-
macy of the questions at issue between the
government of Nicaragua and the Ameri-
can merchants at Bluefeld, there is NO
longer the same necessity for the constant
presence at that place of an American
warship: So the Detroit will not return to
Bluefields, but instead will, after taking on
coal at Colon, proceed northward to Grey
town. and there take on board the remains
of the late General Daniel McAuley, the
agent of the Nicaragua Canal company,
who died on the isthmus.
The Detroit win soon arrive at Fort
Monroe and the remains sent to Washing
ton and inferred at Arlington.

GERMANY HOT
AGAINST UNCLE SAM
Belief Prevails That England
and America
HAVE BEEN DlSCOURTE0US
---------
And Have Brutally Disregarded Ger
man Interests in the Samoas-'Press
Charges Emperor With Being
Too Friendly to America.
HAVE BEEN DlSCOURTE0US

Berlin, May 6.-The belief has taken
complete possession of the public mind in
Germany that German interests in Samoa
have been brutally and ruthlessly disre-
garded by both England and the United
States. 1t seems this view is steadily
gaining strength. The gsvernment press
has been strangely silent upon the subject.
The matter of claims for damages, both
in Samoa and the Philippine Islands, for
German property destroyed in recent en-
gagements has also been injected into the
press discussion with singularly growing
excitement, the assertion being made that
the United States meant to disregard these
Gust claims" The imperial foreign officer,
however, has done nothing to create or fos-
ter this condition of public feeling.
The Vossische zeitung and other journals
have reproduced two of these letters, taxi
ing for granted all that was therein claim
ed, and arguing on the lines presented by
the writers of the letters, who, among a
number of alleged facts, asserted thatFGen-
eral Otis at Manila had bluntly declined to
recognize any German claims for damages
When United States Ambassador White
was asked about this matter by the CORE
spondent he was very reticent, only say
ing: "Of course the reports of General
Otis on any of these cases would have
great weight with the state department,
but in any event the final adjustment OF
such claims must be made at Washington
and not at Manila"
The North German Gazette, mentioning
reports that English and American mer-
chants in Samoa express a desire to see
Germany annex the whole of the group,
bitterly attacks the imperial foreign office
for suppressing this statement and keeping
it out of the press The agrarian Deutsche
Tages Zeitung, in the course of a severe re-
view of Germany.s attitude towards the
United States during the past year. blamcs
the imperial foreign office with knuckling
down to the Americans in every case, even
recalling the instance of Admiral Won Die
derichs at Manila, 80 as not to hurt the
feelings of Messieurs the Americans"
The article concludes as follows:
"Only by now showing a bold and I'M
yielding front can the prestige of the em-
pire. which has suffered so seriously lat
terly, be re-established."
The same newspaper and a number of
others blame the emperor for showing TOO
much friendllness toward Americans, and
charge President Mckinley with a gross
want of tact in not replying to Emperor
Williams telegram of congratulation on
the new Atlantic cable in Germany. and
thus outraging all International courte-
sy"

SCOTTSBORo
Revenue Officers Destroy Large wild
Cat" Still

Scottsboro, May ESPECIAL )-Deputy
United States Marshals Henry Arnold and
Bedford Shelton, of this place, and Lanier,
of Huntsville, raided and captured a still
of Tilden Walker, three miles north of
Hollytree In Pain Rock valley, this county
yesterday, also taking prisoner Tilden
Walker, the owner.
Young Walker, his son, who was badly
wanted here, succeeded in effecting his es
cape. The still was a large one and was
running at it's full capacity, which was
thirty gallons per day. They destroyed
three big fermenters, the capacity of each
being 500 gallons The officers have been
endeavoring to catch this moonshiner
for quite while. They destroyed about
three months ago a part of the same fix
lures, but it was subsequently rebuilt and
has been in full operation ever since.

MILES WILL BE
KEPT IN COMMAND
Mckinley VIII Approve Findings
of the Court.
WILL NOT COURTMARTIAL
The Commanding General or Supersede
Him -Alger Much Displeased, Be-
cause He Asked His Remov-
WILL NOT COuRTMARTIAL

Washington, May 6.-(Special)-Th pres
ident will approve the findings of the court
upon the beef inquiry, but he will neither
order courtmartial of Miles or supersede
him in command by anyone else.
1t is learned today that Secretary Alger
will demand the removal of Miles, but the
president will not accede to the plan.
Should the secretary take up this course
he will create an interesting situation; for
should he ask for the removal of Miles
from command an issue would be raised
which would result either in the removal
of Miles or In the secretary's resignation
The president would then have to make a
direct decision between the two. 1t IS
surmised by some that the presidents Hot
Springs vacation, leaving Miles and Alser
tied together, officially, may have been
planned to result in an interesting depars-
ment crisis that will force Alger out.
Miles could be disciplined later and the
administration thus would be relieved of
further responsibility for both. The sec
rotary will return to Washington on Sun
day night, before the report is made pub
1c and his friends say that he will insist
that he is justified by the report in asking
for the assignment of a major-general to
command the army who will work In har-
mony.
Change in Rations
AS a result of the presidents considera-
ton of the report of the Wade court OF
inquiry the following instructions were to-
day cabled to the military commission
the Philippines, in Cuba and Porto Rico:
General Otis, Mania:
General Brooke, Hayana:
General Davis, San Juan:
"By the presidents direction you have
from time to time been requested to make
suggestions as to change of rations for
your troops, which you have complied with,
but to better enable the president to deter
statutes, what alterations, if any, in estab-
lished ration would be conducive to the
better health of troops serving in tropical
climates, acting secretary of war directs
that you institute board of three officers,
noted for their ability and experience serv-
ing respectively in the line, medical and
subsistence departments, to fully examine
into subject of any desired changes in the
rations for the troops of your commands,
and that you submit substance of report
of its investigation byscable and full report
by mail with your recommendation. Refer
to board previous correspondence and other
available information to dietetics. particu-
larly should the experience of officers and
enlisted men of long service in the tropics
receive full consideration.

Collapse Expected

Washington, May 6-The officials of the
} state and war departments look for a
speedy collapse of the instruction in the
Philippines. Net only is this expectation
based on the private advices that 4Iave
come from the Philippine commission as to
the negotiations that have been going on
between that body and the insurgent rep
resentatiyes, but also upon the successful
development of MacArthur's and Lawton's
campaigns .s
So far as the government reports are
concerned, they indicate that the insur-
gents have at last recognized the inevita-
BILE breakdown of their struggle, and are
simply striving by protracting their resist
ance to secure the most liberal terms pos
sibfe in the erection of a government in
the Philippines. They have not in any
diplomatic sense acknowledged the SOW
ereignty of the United States, but have
recognized the physical domination of our
military force, and while they have talked
more or less of independence even at the
last moment, without doubt they will ac-
cept readily any proposition looking to a
protectorate.
The presidents instructions, however
are clear on this point, and the cdmmis-
sion understands that II is to take no ac-
ton in a way of making promises that
will deprive congress of a free hand in
disposing of the future of the Philippines.
