CLEVELAND STRIKE.

No Outbreaks Of Violence : Some OF
tho Car Lines Well PatrOnized,
Soldiers Hold Up an Ice Cream
Wagon.
CLEVELAND. o., July sn-Not-
wIthstanding tie fact that big crowds
were upon the streets to-day there were
no outbreaks of violence. and nppar-
eutiy very little attention was paid to
the Big Consolidated cars, which ran
on all lines on schedule time. On tho
South Side and out Broadway to New
burg the cars were run practically
empty, but the East Side lines, espee-
tally those running to the parks, were
well patronlzed, though they carried
fewer passengers by far than usual on
fair Sundays.
Adjutant General Axline, speaking OF
the fear OF the people to ride on the cars
in certain sections Of the city at night
said to-day: ''ThIs state OF Affairs Is
likely to continue for several weeks OF
more unless a settlement Is reached.
The only way to put stop to 1t Is to
declare martial law. That will require
four or 1--we thousand soldiers, and
Every street will be patrolled. Every
body will be required to remain indoors
after a certain hour, and nll who are
out after that time without permit
VIII be arrested. But martial law would
put an end to the trouble efreetually.
The only exciting incident on the
South Side was the hoid-up Of an ice
cream wagon by crowd OF soldiers,
who took from Il four gallon freezer
full OF cream. They offered money for
the cream, but the driver OF the wagon
refused to accept It, saying he could
not sell It The soldiers say they or,
dered the cream several days ago and
the dealer promised TO deliver It, put II
did not come, probably because OF the
boycott. When the soldiers saw one
of the company's wagons coming to-
day they stopped 1t, took the cream and
offered to pay for It. The people in the
neIghborhOOd looked upon this as a
great outrage. but the soldiers only
lnughed and treated 1t Us joke.
Business Agent Pratt, of the union
of the Big Consolidated strikers, Issued
a statement to-day In reply to the tnti-
nation that there was breach be-
tween the strikers and the employees OF
the Little Consolidated. The latter
have Orginazed separate union ana
have decided not TO take part In q SYM
pathy strike. Pratt thinks they should
have Joined his union, and he says IN
his statement that the motive which
prompted the organization OF the sep
arate union was not pure. He accuses
certain OF the Little Consolidated em-
ployes OF trying to head on the strike
on these lines, and he intlmates that
It Is unwise to divide the funds and en-
ergies OF the two unions.

now the various factions are uniting
throughout tho country. He himself

ban afralrs by Cubans henceforth.

KINGSTON, jamaica, July SO.-A
prIvate cable dispatch received here by

crossing favorably. The dispatch says
that the real reason for the detention

who, abandoning their plan of occupy
ing Moca as base Of operations, are
continuing to attack Porto Plata, which
is feebly garrisoned.
Great excitement prevails owing to
the fact that the government has not
been able to ascertain the extent Of the
ramificadons Of the revolution and Is
growing demorallzed through the death
OF the president. In the event Of the
revolution succeeding, stu according to
the private cablegram, It Is probable
that Jlmlnez and Jitenes, the reputed
leaders of the revolution, will agree 10
retire, Offering the presidency to Gen.
Maxine Gomez, who would prove ae-
ceptabie to all parties. A deputatIon.

Admiral Dewey at the white house,
when the latter arrives in washington
At first he was in doubt whether re-
cepuon or dinner would .be more mp
proprlate, but the former is likely to be
decided on for the reason that It would
be more popular In character and
would grant to q multitude of people
IN opportunity to meet the naval hero

The management Of the reception Will
be very simple and will differ in no i'm
portant respects from regular affairs OF

cept that the admiral will occupy q
place in the line OF receiving party, the
President coming first, Mrs. Mckinley
next and then the admiral, the intro

Later on the expectation is that n
