James Wilson. military governor of the
department of Matanzas- Santa Clara, in
the course of an interview today regard
ing Cuban affairs, said to the correspond
ent Of the Associated Press: Trouble is
absolutely out of the question. The
future depends largely on agricultural
prosperity, and where work Is plentiful
wages are good and a country prosperous,
no sensible man wishes to alter condi-
lions. The cattle industry yields enor-
nous profits, particularly as respects
working cattle, which can never be re-
placed by mules, because the peculiar
conditions are better adapted to cattle.
Coffee, timber and fruit also offer great
inducements to capitalists, and tobacco
planting yields almost immediate returns.
] suggest supplying cattle for working
purposes on time basis, accepting regu-
lar rates of interest. which should be
about ! per cent month. Cattle can be
landed here at a cost of $40 a yoke, which.
once here would bring more than $50,
Large numbers of working cattle are re-
CURED by reliable and hard working
men who are anxious to obtain them

NiNE-HoUR DAY
Is the Demand by the Machinists
and Woodworkers,

PHILADELPHIA, March 4.-Twenty- four
delegates representing the Machinistsi
union in this vicinity and all the towns
in the radius OF thirty miles of Philadel-
phia met today and decided to make a
demand on June l for a nine-hour day.
They also decided to demand the aboll-
tion, if possible, OF piece work in all
shops. 1t is possible the manufacturers
may lock out the men before they formally
make the demands. This Is part of the
movement started in Chicago, and may
mean fight between the National AS
ISOLATION OF Machine Manufacturers and
the International Machinists union.
The Manufacturers Association OF Wood
Working mills have refused the request
OF the wood workers TO reduce the days
labor from ten to nine hours with an in
crease In the rate of wages per hour,
making nine hours pay equivalent to ten
hours of present wages. 1t is believed

Kansas City, March 4.--Mr. John Dillon
Irish leader in the English parliament was
invited to send message to be read al
the recent banquet OF the Marquette club
Of this city which developed enthusiastic
endorsement. Mr. Dillons reply, which
was delayed In transmission, has just been
made public. 1t is dated Dublin, Febru-
airy 70. and says In part:
In Ireland we regard the war now
being waged by the British government
against the two republics In South Africa
as the most unjust. criminal and c5wnr,lly
war OF the century. In order TO deceive
liberal operation In Great Britain and
abroad pretext was put forward that the
object OF the attacks on the republic was
10 secure equal rights for the outlanders
The falsity OF the pretext has been exposed
by the fact that the ortlanders OF all races
except English are fighting In the armies
OF the two republics. To use the word OF
Secretary Reitzs great manifesto TO the
Free Stasers. According 10 the colonial
secretary England has constituted herself
champion OF all the outlanders. And what
do we find! On the borders, side by side
with our burghers, are these same out
landers. Germans frlshmen. Freuchmen
Belgians and scandlnaylans and even Eng
lishmen ready to lay down their lives in
order TO rid themselves OF their self con
stituted champion.
"All the civilized world now sees that
the real object OF this conspiracy and war
against the republics OF South Africa has
been and IS to deprive the republics OF
their liberty, to steal their gold mines, 30
increase dividends by reducing the wages
of laborers Ia johannesburg ana to estab
lish the ascendancy OF the English race
over all other races in South Africa.
Was war ever urged for such Infamous
objects?
In pursuance OF this conspiracy against
the liberties OF South Africa the press Ia
Great Britain and South Africa. which Is
financed or controlled by spectators and
mine owners who are chiefly responsible
for the war, has assailel the BOer people
with a torrent OF calumnies and lies I'M
paraleled Ia human memory.
THE irish people, vito know from ex-
perience the bitter fruits OF race ascend
apcy and the denial OF liberty. stand today
for liberty and justice In South Africa as
they stood in i775 for liberty and justice

THE LEADERS INSIST ON PEACE

CUR ~ CHICAGO
Between strikers and Non-union
Men--Others May Be Called Out In
sympathy with the Machinists.

Chicago, March 4.-President James
o'Connell. OF the International Machin-
lists union delivered an address today at
the meeting OF the Chicago Federation OF
Labor, having been granted the hoor to
make report on the machinists' strike.
He deprecated the tendency to regard the
present labor troubles as beginning Of
serious strife.
While the utterances of the leaders OF
the machinlsts are peaceable there is lit
tie hope that the building war will be
carried on without trouble. Fights be-
tween non-union men and pickets are ez-
pected tomorrow. Sympathetic strikes Of
building material trades unions may be
called although the officers Of the
Building Trades council nave expressed
the belief that this is unnecessary at the
present time.
Secretary Davis Of the Building Trades
council. declares they need no help in
their fight and not enough non-unlon men
will be put to work to justify strikes IN
material factories. Several OF the build
ing material trades business agencies,
however, have declared thai attempts TO
deliver material 10 non union Jobs Will re-
suit in strikes.
Plans for starting to work many more
non-unlon men tomorrow at various,
points throughout the city were COM
pleted today by the United contractors.
Ii the weather is favorable it is estimated
that perhaps as many as 1000 men will be
put to work. To protect them a large
number of special officers have been put
on DUTY.
At meeting held tonight it was de-
oided by $50 union machinists en- ployed
at the Illinois Steel works and 125 ma
chinists at the Chicago, Lake Shore and
Eastern shops, to join the strikers to-
morrow. Extra forcee of police have been
sent to these places to prevent trouble.
