AGAINST GUATEMALA.
Award In Favor of the Claimant In the
 May Case.

Washington, November 26.-It is unoffi- cially but reliably reported to the Depart ment of State that MT. Kenner, the Brit ish umpire in the arbitration of the case of Robert H. May, an American citizen, against the government of Guatemala, has rendered a Judgment in favor of the claim ant to the amount of s140OO0 American gold. May entered into contract with the Qua temalan government to operate and inn prove a railroad for which he was to re- ceive monthly subvention of $35, ,00O keep the revenues of the road, and be paid for certain extra work. He began his work in April, 1898, but in October of the same year was dispossessed by military force. The subventions due at the time had been only partially paid and Mays claim was for payment of these subventions for money expended in extra work and compensati ton for his general losses. The basic claim was for 900 and there was to be an allow ance for profits over and above this sum-

SYMPATHETIC STRIKE.
Declared in Tampa Due to the Cigar
 makers trouble.

Tampa, Fla. November 26-In spite of the agreement made last night to hold the gen. eral strike in abeyance until the commit tees from the Resistancia organization and the International Cigarmakers' Union could get together the general strike was de- clared this morning. Nine local unions obeyed the order of the Trades Assembly and refused to go to work.
 It Is estimated that 400 men have an swered the first call and are out. This in- cludes box-makers, trimmers, plumbers, carpenters, brick masons, timers, inter- national cigarmakers, strippers and paint ers The electrical workers, stationary en- gineers and marine engineers, barbers and plumbers are expected to quit but the In- ternational Typographical Union has been ordered by its executive board not to go out The leaders claim that by tomorrow they will have at least 5000 men out.
 Work on at least 400 houses has been stopped by the strike. It Is proposed by the strikers to make an. effort to get railway unions to refuse to haul out the output of the Tampa factories.
 The Resistancia people, with their seven or eight thousand men, are all at work, and in no way affected by any of the strikes against 1t.
 If any attempt is made to drive these people from the factories there will be a serious conflict, as all interested arc heavily armed. The International Cigar makers Union went out at noon, adding to the number already out.

TELLER Is STILL
 TRUE TO SILVER Colorado Senator Says the QueS-
 ton is Not Dead WILL CONTINUE THE FIGHT Discusses Prospective Legislation in Congress, and Does Not Believe That Much Will be Done at
 the Short Session.
WILL CONTINUE THE FIGHT I

Denver, Col, November 26-Senator Hen- ry M. Teller of Colorado, who leaves for Washington tonight, speaking of the de- feat of Bryan, said that he did not intend to abandon the silver question because of the result of the recent election.
 "The silver question is not dead,'' he con- tinued, land will be live question in American politics for years to come, and am firmly of the opinion that we will eventually return to the bimetallic system in my judgment the only system that can secure stability of price and equity between the creditor and debtor"
 Speaking of important legislation to be enacted by Congress during the coming session, Senator Teller said:
 q anticipate that there will be an att tempt made to increase the regular army independent of any force that may be nec- essary for the Philippine Islands to the ex- tent of 100000 as a permanent army. doubt much whether such a measure can be passed during the short session. So far I am concerned, I am very much opposed to it, and will do all can to prevent it. I am quite willing, however, that the gov ernment should have all the forces in the Philippine Islands that may be necessary to bring about peace, if it Is the policy of the administration to dispose of that ques- tion in that way.
 "There will also be an effort to pass what Is known as the ship subsidy bill, which will impose a burden upon the people of anywhere from $10,0OO,OOO to $2O,0 600 year for a number of years to come. I do not believe it is wise measure, but rather ex- pect to see 1t pass during this session. For while there will be, think a great waste of money. It Is not as objectionable as the army bill
 "I think there will, as there ought to, be an attempt to reduce the present war rev. enue tax, and to get rid of some of the bills very objectionable features. I notice that action of the cabinet appears to have been in that direction. I hope it may be done.
 Aside from these matters, I doubt whether there will be very much other leg islation attempted during the short ses- sion"

days; but weeks have elapsed and none has appeared. The only explanation is that they either perisheu on the spot during that terrible night or were blown out to sea and drowned.
 'Tn speaking of the matter the other day an old fisherman told me of an al- most similar occurrence off the coast of Florida. He said there was a swall is- land below Cedar Keys that was for merly a great resort for buZZards; in fact, it was known among the natives as Buzzard's Cay.' For some reason or other the big birds made it their rep dezvous, and the spot was practically surrendered to them. One night, about ten years ago, terrific tropical storm came sweeping up the coast, and this little island seemed to be directly ip the path of the cyclone center At any rate, it was swept clean, and the whole colony of buzzards was drowned, The fisherman told me that scores of the1 were washed up on the mainland, and not another one was ever seen on tho cay. The new generation avoided it iQr sJinctively. Perhaps they have a way Of handing down such usaitlspss"

OLD CITY HALL
 SOLD FOR $SO6 Another Ancient Landmark Will
 Soon Pass Away F. G. SHEPPARD PURCHASER Bidding for the Old Structure Was Quite Spirited, Several Contractors and Merchants Taking Part.
 Alderman Thach Auctoneer.
F. G. SHEPPARD PURCHASER

The present city hall building was sold to F. c. Sheppard yesterday for $S65, and with in few weeks another reminder of the pioneer days of Birmingham will have passed away.
 finder the contract the old building Is to be torn down, and the rubbish removed within sixty days after the structure is vacated. Then will begin the erection of city hall of which Birmingham and the State of Alabama can feel justly proud
 In answer to the advertisement quite a crowd had gathered In front of the present home of the city officials when the bell in the tower of the fire department announced that the hour of noon had arrived.
 There were several contractors, real es- tate men and merchants present, and the bidding for the dlapidAted old building was spirited When Alderman Thach, the auc- tioneer called the meeting to order and announced himself ready for business, Rietta, the Italian vegetable dealer led, off the bids with an offer of s60O. MT. Harris immediately went him $10O better and said he would make 1t $70O. F. G. Sheppard, the contractor, came next Wllh oiu VI "''o' He soon raised this to $S65, and this being the highest amount offered, he was in- formed that the old shack was his, and he could soon begin the work of removal,
 As all the fixtures and most of the doors and windows are retained by the city, $S65 is regarded as a good price for the build ing.
 The old city hall originally cost about s14O0 and was erected in 1881 during the ad- ministration of Mayor Thomas Jeffers. Some time since 1t was discovered that the foundations were unsafe, and the old struc- ture was condemned.
 There were present at the sale; Mayor Drennen, City Attorney Lowe, Aldermen Graham, Kerr, Heidt, Thach, Camp, Ram bow and Meighan.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
 zone of the most curious rsults of the great Galveston storm," said gentle man who had lived for number of years in the tempest-swept city, was the total destruction of the buzzards. From time out of mind the lower end of the island has been favorite haunt of these birds, and they could be seen there any day by the hundreds. After the storm it was supposed they would flock to the scene of ruin, and the ap- pearance of the noisome creatures was looked forward to as an inevitable fin- ishing touch op the horrors of the great catastrophe. But, much to eurssurpriss none was to be seen, and since then have been all over the island, and find that they have completely disappeared. 4 good many of the dd.tihSrs said they bed taken refuge on the mainland, and would be back again ip a few

SHERIFF FREEMAN
Of Lincoln County, Coloraoo, Writes a
 Warm Card.

Denver, Col, November 26.-The Rocky Mountain News today prints the reply of Sheriff Freeman, of Lincoln County, to of Colorado Springs, Col, concerning the prosecution of the persons who burned the negro rapist and murderer, Preston Porter, at the stake at Limon. Col, recently.
 After telling of how he was influenced in taking Porter to Limon, upon the assur- ance of leading citizens of Lincoln County that he would be allowed to pass through Lmon unmolested to Hugo, where ne would be permitted to place Porter in the county jail, Sheriff Freeman says that it will be impossible to get jury in Lincoln or any adjoining county that would con vict any one charged with participation in the burning of Porter. He concluded as follows:
 q do not justify the cremation, but I do object to having you and Governor Thomas saddle the blame of this burning on me- ad I will not involve Lincoln Coun- ty in a needless and fruitless litigation against it's own citizens or give additional advertisement to the State of Colorado for the sole purpose it seems to me, of mak- ing political capital for somebody.
 q want to add that politics cut no ice in this affair. While Lincoln County Is a Republican county, the men who partici- pated in this lynohing were representatives of all political parties. When it comes to administering to brute who first rapes a child and then stabs and kicks her to death, I take it that true Americans lose sight of mere politics and remember only that they are fathers and brothers. It seems to me that we had peter let this episode rest where 1t now is."
