General Ludlow Criticised.

In Havana it is well known that the
Heraldo is the personal organ OF General
Ludlow. He merely echoed here what his
begun in Havana.
There is no man more disliked by the
people, more unpopular anywhere than is
General Ludlow in Havana. He has done
more to make the name American often
sive than can be understood or appreciated
Ivy our people. This too. among all classes.
In truth. he has made few. IL any friends
among the Spaniards. and has alienated
the sympathies of the Cubans. He seems
to possess the adaptability OF doing the
wrong thing at the right time. and saying
the simplest things in the most offensive
manner.
There can be no doubt but tat Cen
eral Wood is regarded with marked favor
in Cuba. Ii is believed that he is svmpa-
thetically inclined toward Cuban jnde-
pendence. In the interview which he
courteously accorded me. we went over
this and kindred subjects. He expressed
the opinion that the people in Cuba had
been so long accustomed to authority be-
ing exercised by those in power without
regard to the wishes OF the people that
it was somewhat difficult TO impress upon
the inhabitants a system OF government
by which the people would have the right
20 enact laws and elect their own repre-
sentatives to enforce them; that he had
great hopes through the effort now being
made 10 establish municipal elf-g0vern-
ments that would soon develop into their
adaptability to apply the principle gene
rally.
In discussing with him the elght-hour
strike OF last September. | Insisted that
the eight-hour gOrk-day in our own ell
mate was regarded as a physical necessity
ana economically sound, and that II this

The Arrest Of Roca.

"On the evening of the strike General
Ludlow was guilty of another outrage Upon
not only the rights Of these men. but upon
a man entirely far removed from that field
Of action. Mr.. Pedro Roca. president OF
the EstivadOres (LOngshOremen Union,
was taken in charge near midnight by an
armed guard. and brought before General
Ludlow and threatened with dire results
unless he (ROcal declared the strike cff
He pleaded that he had no authority to do
so. but consented to visit the eight i'm
prisoned men for the purpose of consult
ing them with that end in view Under
guard he was taken TO the Jail, where the
prisoners were brought TO him, and after
realizing that they might be incarcorated
during the Governors pleasure they is
sued recommendation to the wOrkmen OF
Havana 10 declare the strike of. Mr. Roca
informed me that for several days he did
not dare visit his home for fear Of being
arrested. The imprisoned men were con-
fined in Jail three days even after the is
suanCe OF their manifesto.
When the outrageous conduct Of Cen
eral Ludlow was communicated to me and
proven beyond question of a doubt. it
seemed to be not only my right but my
duty 10 criticise him and urge upon the

was so that the eight-hOur WOrk-day was
more essential to the workers in a trOp-
ical climate such as obtains in Cuba. 1
tried to impress upon his mind that. from
what ] could learn the action of General
Ludlow was not caused by any military
necessity, WAS a political mistake. aud
economically unwise. l was pleased at
General Wood ; rejoiner on the general
eight-hoUr proposition. He said that since
the United States had enforced the eight
hour wOTk-day on public work in Cuba.
the reports showed that the men We're
doing more and better work under the new
rule; thus in this instance, as in all 9TH
ers. bearing out the position which organ
lied labor has taken upon the proposition
and necessity of a shorter wOrk-day.
1T is my pleasure to record the fact
that I found the people of Cuba ge-
NAL courteous. and although impulsive
yet warm-hearted. They are uncompro-
misingly devoted to independence. There
are many Americans there who, associa-
ting with the more wealthy SpaniaUds,
take for granted everything said disparag-
ingly of the CuGHns Their ability for self
government is questioned. but the best
answer to that is hat they cannot demon
strate their ability to govern themselves
unless they have the opportunity to do So
Whether the Cubans will want to become
part OF the United Sttes after securing
independence may be question: but upon
one thing We may all rest assured. that if
they are to remain under the American
military control or if they should be an
neNed, that there will always be turbulence
or discomfort.

The evening times., 1900-03-01

To try to bring a satisfactory result
out Of this strike with its attending
causes, more especially without offending
anyone. was By no means an easy task.
Before my coming some Cubans thought
that l. like many other Americans. had
changed from being an advocate Of Cuban
independence TO Cuban annexation. and
the Spaniards regarded me as opposed TO
them.
"On my arrival I learned that General
Ludlow Military Governor Of Havana.

Samuel Gompers President of the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor. has returned to
Washington after a two weeks visit to Gu
ba. He has written detailed account Of
his experience in the island. He says in
part:
There were about 1900 cigarmakers
and about 1 200 bakers on strike when l ar
rived in Havana. l was asked to aid the
cigarmakers. The bakers made no re-
quest OF that kind. and | felt that an Of
fer Of assistance to them might carry with
it the appearance Of gratuitous interfer-
ence. Every day and almost every evening
Of that first week in Havana, where had
gone 70 seek rest and renewed health, was
taken up in meetings and conferences. The
cigarmakers' strike originated from a very
pee Iliar cause.
Before the Ten Years revolution for
Cuba Libre' the cigar trade was nearly all
in the hands of the Cubans. During that
revolution the cigar factories belonging, to
Cubans were conhscated by the Spanish
authorities After the failure Of the Tevo-
luton TO accomplish Cuban independence,
the then Spanish employers placed every
position Of responsibility in the hands Of
Spaniards. These in turn gave every en-
cOuragement TO Spanish boys to learn the
preferred branches Of the trade Oeaf Sc
lecting and cigar packing. At the time of
tie strike there was not a Cuban holding
the position OF superintendent or foreman
in any cigar factory and but about two out

1O0 in the orphan asylm. AS a matter OF
right as well as sympathy and justice &c
was held that these boys should have an
equal chance to learn the trade. Though
there are different versions as to the origin
of the strike. il developed into a demand
on the part of the Cubaus for an equal op-
| portunity for their boys TO learn every

SOME NOTES ABOUT
THE MODERN WOODME1

Only three Woodman camps wer
chartered in the new states last Wee
one at Chestertown, Md, one at
Chester, n. Y, and one at Middle
burg, n. Y.
Last month did not show up any
too well for gain. Only o,97l benefit
certificates were issued and 149 camps
chartered. However. this is about "a
per cent greater gain than any other
society made during the month.
October starts in well. During the
week ending the 9th there were z. 0l5
certificates issued and 20 new camps
chartered.
The preparation of the records for
the next county and state camp meet
ings has been started. in the way of
printing list of camps by congress
sional districts. This list, which in
it's present form is entirely new, will
also be of material aid to picnic asso-
Citations next year.
During last week 81 deaths were re-
ported to the head clerk, aggregating
sos, 900. A light death rate during
the balance of the month is antici-
pated, owing to the fact that those
who die will lose their vote, both in
this world and the next.
Malcolm f. Post. who became a
member of Camp No. 2, located at
Fulton, H., in June 1888, died Sept.
3, 1900, of pneumonia. He held a
certificate for 81, 600, payable to his
wife. The duration of his mem ber-
ship was II years, 2 months and 2
days, and his payments to the benefit
fund totaled sl44.9O, for which his
wife receives 81 600 This case illu-
trates the absolute necessity for wise
action by the membership when they

KILLEEN CASE REVERSED
BLYTHE APPELLATE COURT,

The suit of Williams Killeen VS.. the
Tri-City Railway company, carried
up by the defendant, was yesterday
reversed and remanded by the appel.
ate court. Killeen was an employe of
The Central Union Telephone company.
On June "a. 1897, while working on
Twentieth street, a wire that he was
h indling came in contact with an
electric cross-wire of the street rail-
way company and he received a shock
that he claims permanently iRjured
him. He brought suit for $4,000
damages, alleging negligence against
the street railway company; that his
injury was due to the failure of the
company to have its wires properly
insulated. The case was heard at the
Septem Der, 1899, term of the Rock
Island county circuit court. and the
jury gave the plaintiff verdict for
81 500. The attorneys were Jackson
& Hurst for the railway company and
}. Il. Kenworthy for the plaintiff. The
defense claimed the accident was due
to Killeen's carelessness.
