CUBAN ELECTIONS.
National Party for the Most Part suo-
cessfuI-Rodrig Elected
Mayor of Havana.

Havana, June 1S.-Gen. Alexandra
Rodriguez, nationalist, was on Satur-
day elected mayor of Havana, polling
1905 votes, against 6,O34 cast for
Senior Estrada Mora, independent.
The total vote fell about 1880 below
the registration. The national party
elected its entire ticket-1s council
men. the treasurer, one correctional
Judge and three municipal judges.
The otter correctional judgeship fell
TO ahindependent candidate, as did
also the fourth municipal judgeship.
Of the six other councilmen four are
republicans and two nationalists, who
ran Independently. Reports from
every part of the island go to show
that perfect order prevailed at the
polls. Not shot was fired, nor was
there any sign of disturbance any
where.
To an American observer of the cleo
ton here it seemed as il the people
regarded the whole matter with abso-
lutte Indifference. There was not even
I crowd in waiting to hear the result
declared. Not cheer was raised, nor
were there any of the ordinary indi-
cations of election excitement. The
victory of the nationalists is chiefly
due to the fact that they were first
in the field and had the benefit of q
well-disciplined organization.

Organised Labor to Espouse ST. Louis
strikers Cause-Long strug-
gle Promised.

81. Louis, Mo-, June 1s.-The long
drawn out controversy between the
St Louis Transit company and its
striking employees has now simmered
down into struggle between capital
and labor along the lines of boy
colt. The submitting of the question
OF the reinstatement of the former
employees of the company to arbitra-
| ton has been the bone of contention
in the recent negotiations for set
| tlement of the strike, but, like all
former contentious, it has resulted in
nothing, the railway officials demand
ing an unconditional surrender on the
part of the men.
| AS result of the company's &C
| ton President Gompers, of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, has de-
clared that he will do all in his power
to bring the influence of the whole
body of organized labor in America
to bear upon the local situation in an
effort to win the strike for the union.
Mr.. Gompers urges the strikers to be
law-abiding, but advises them to make
the operation of the cars as expen-
sive as possible by refusing to patron
ize them. The boycott to be declared,
strike leaders say, will apply not only
to the st. Louis Transit company, but
to every person, every business man,
every association, and, in fact, any
corporation or individual favoring it
i in any way.
| Mrs. Eva DOMAIN was roughly handled
by a mob at Marion street and Broad
way Sunday. AS she alighted from a
Transit car she was quickly surrounded
| by crowd of girls who shouted ''scab"
at her. A large throng soon joined the
girls. Mrs. DOMAIN ran down several
| streets with the mob in hot pursuit, and
sought refuge in Joseph a. Bene's sa-
loon in South Broadway, but Bene
| pushed the woman back into the street.
| \ woman living over the saloon sue
ceeded in getting Mrs. DOMAIN 10 her
| apartments. but not before both had
| been pelted with mud and stones. Mrs.
| DOMAIN was escorted home by police
! officer. The police arrested Bene,
charging him with assault and bat
terry.
Chief of Detectives Desmand sent a
| dozen of his men to the neighborhood
of Broadway and Marion streets to lay
IL wait for other crowds that might at
| tack women. An hour later two de-
| tectives were sent to the locality with
a woman as decoy. As soon as the
woman stepped off the car she was sur
rounded by a crowd. The detectives
lsed their clubs. doing much damage
Il. the heads of those in the mob. The
crowd broke and ran. The police did
no. attempt to arrest any of the mob.

THE END APPROACHING.
Indications Tint Lord Roberts Ex.
poets Tint the War VIII
Soon Close.

London, June 1S.-There are some
indications that Lord Roberts consid-
ers the wars end in South Africa not
far distant. One of these is the fact
that the Natal volunteers, who had
seen hard service, were dismissed to
their homes by Sir Redvers Butler Sat-
urday. They were cheered as they left
camp. Another indication is the report
current in authoritatively informed
military circles in London that a COM
plete division of regulars is to be with
drawn from Gen. Buffers army and en-
barked at Durham for China. The
troops drawn from India will proba bly,
go next.
Mr.. Steyn, in consequence of Lord
Roberts annexation of the Free State
by proclamation. has issued a counter
proclamation declaring that the Free
State still. exists. is independent and
does LOT acknowledge the authority of
Great Britain.

Celebrate cots Day"

Rochester, y. Y, June 16. "Otis
day" was memorable occasion for
Rochester and the people of western
New York, who joined in extending a
welcome back to his old home of the
man who for two years ruled the Phil
ippine islands. There were at least
100000 strangers in the city, most of
whom came by rail. Gen. Joseph
Wheeler reached the city about noon,
and was given an enthusiastic recep-
ton at the railway station. The cele-
bration began with the firing of a
major generals salute at sunrise, and
reached its climcy in the parade which
took place in the afternoon.

killed, eight so badly burned or MANNED
that they are in the hospital and three
other men are missing, as the result
of fire in the cooperage establishment
of Paul Weidmann, at North Eleventh

WORK OF BOXERS.
They Have Murdered over 100 Chris
tian Chinese Thus Far-situn-
ton Grows In Gravity.

Moscow, June 16.-According to .
dispatch from Port Arthur, the Box
ers have killed, up to the present, 1,764
Chinese Christians. They have de-
stroyed the telegraph line between Pc
king and Kiachta, on the Trans-Baikai
| frontier, whence communication was
had with Irkutsk and st. Petersburg.
This leaves Picking isolated until the
| international force succeeds in restor-
ing telegraphic communication be-
| tween Tien-Tsin and the capital.
The same dispatch declares that the
Chinese government recently acknowl-
edged Russia's right to increase her
armed force in Picking for the pro-
lection of Russian interests.
Shanghai, June 16.-News OF the
safety of all the foreign ministers in
Picking was received here Friday.
None of them has been murdered. The
legations have been barricaded and
the foreigners within will thus be able
to resist any attack by mobs. If, how
ever, the Chinese soldiers should
storm the barrieade the diplomats and
refugees would be powerless, and
many lives would be sacrificed.
The Picking government is defiant
on demands made for the suppression
of the Boxers. Proof of this is seen
in the appointment of four anti-for-
eign ministers to the tsung-li-yamen.
The powers, however, are not in
clined to allow mobs to menace for
eign lives and interests further. A
myriad of foreign troops has been
landed at Tien-Tsin.
Tien-Tsin, June 15.-The New York
| Journal correspondent cables: Box
ers control Tien-Tsin, The native
| city officials have been burned at the
| stake The foreign settlement is en-
pecting an immediate attack.
| The allied forces under Vice Adj
miral Seymour, now marching on Pc
king, are short of provisions and wa
ter, and the railway has been de-
stroyed behind them. They are eX-
pected to encounter strong opposi-
| ton. The authorities fear a massa-
ere of foreigners and native Chris
tians at Picking.
| China is gathering munitions of
war. More requirements are de-
manded by the commanders of all for
eign forces. A great panic prevails
among the Chinese. Most important
news is expected every moment.
Yokohama, June 16.-The murder of
the japanese chancellor of legation at
Picking by the Chinese imperial troops
! has aroused keen feeling in Japan.
The press urges the government to
exact ample reparation. Eight war
| ships are to be sent to Taku.
| Shanghai, June Is. = A dispatch
from Chung King says that riot has
taken place at Yan-Na-Fu. The build.
| ings of the China Inland mission were
partially destroyed and those of the
Roman Catholic and Bible Christian
missions were utterly demolished. All
/ the missionaries are safe.

RETIRE FROM LAINGS MEX.
Beers Forced to Evacuate n strong
Position by BuIler-Klerks-
dorp surrenders.

London, June 15.-The war Office is
sues the following report from Lord
Roberts, under date of Pretoria, June
10, afternoon:
''The enemy evacuated their strong po-
sition during the night and have retired
to the eastward. Buffers force and mine
have afforded each other mutual assist
ance. Our occupation of Pretoria caused
numbers of Beers to withdraw from
Laings Mex. and Buffers advance to
| Volksrust made them feel their rear
would be shortly endangered"
London, June 15.-That Command
ant Gen. Louis Botha should have
been able to stand for two days
against Lord Roberts and then to re-
treat without losing any guns or hav-
ing any of his men captured is taken
to mean that he has a force which
the British must still reckon as for
midable when acting defensively.
The pacification of the whole OF the
Transvaal, especially the wide spaces
far from the railways, is looked upon
as a business requiring months rather
than weeks.
London, June 16.-The war office is
sues the following dispatch from Lord
Roberts:
Pretoria, Residency, June H.-Klerks-
dorp surrendered on June to an armed
party sent on by Hunter.
"A messenger from Klerksdorp reports

termined to surrender as soon as he knew
