reported since the beginning of the
present outbreak. One of the deaths
occurred in the Fifth infantry. The
other four fatal cases were civilians.
Captain Fabricius, a popular medical
officer, died to-day
For three days the Cubans have been
conducting a patriotic demonstration,
the festival of San Juan, in honor of
the victory won there by the American
troops over the Spaniards. The cele-

better class OF the Cubans themselves.
One Spaniard was nearly killed by the

CLEVELAND o., June 25.-Only
one outbreak of violence attended the
resumption of traffic on all the lines OF
the Big Consolidated street railway
this morning. There was objection in
some parts of the city to the retention
of the non-,rnion men who were kept
by the company. A party of twenty
five men assembled near the Brooklyn
bridge. just south of the city, and
whenever car came along with a nom
union crew the passengers were asked
TO disembark and wait for a car man
ned by a union crew. In most cases
the passengers did as requested. Fin
ally a non-union conductor undertook
TO argue with the crowd, and he was
promptly struck over the head with a
club. and he and the motorman driven
away. The mob refused TO permit the
car to move until union crew came
along and pushed it to the barns.
AS rule, the old men were glad the
strike was settled. though there was
some grumbling because the nom
union men were kept. 1t is predicted
that all the non-union men will be
glad to leave the city within thirty
days, though the company imposed
as one of the conditions of the agree
ment for the settlement OF the trouble
that all the new men should be treated
with consideration by the old en-
ployes.

No English Alliance.

Whenever Che Democratic party
has nothing else upon which to exer-
else itself and whenever issues are
running short, as they are at the
present time, it generally gives the
tail of the British lion twist. This
pleases a large number of the mem
bers of the party, and helps to divert
their minds from other subjects. The
Democratic party Of Ohio, ever
watchful Of American liberties CD,
protested against the alliance which,
according to their platform, has been
formed between the United States
and England.
The Hon. John Hay, recently Am
bassador TO England, and now Secre-
tary OF State, in a letter to Chairman
Dick, Of the Republican State Com
mittee. emphatically denies that any
such alliance exists, either with
England or any other power under
heaven, except the treaties of ordi-
nary international friendship for pur-
poses Of business and commerce"
II any man is in position to speak
authoritatively upon this subject, il
is Secretary Hay, and his stirring
letter will prove a convincing argu-
ment that this last effort Of the
Democracy TO find an issue will meet
the same fate as has befallen all their
efforts up to date.
The United States does not need to
form an alliance with any foreign
power. She mas taken her place in
the front ranks Of the nations, and is
abundantly able TO take care Of her
self. At the same time it is the desire
of every true citizen that there shall
exist a bond of friendship between
our country and the nations Of the
world, and with no government
should we be on better terms than
with that country whose people speak
the same language and who are most
nearly like ourselves, but all Of this
we can do without any formal alli'
anee.
The Democratic party in its search
for an issue will have to try again.
