CIGAR MAKERS
 SETTLE STRIKE
They Returned to Work With outHaving Made a Gain
 Gompers Speaks.

Havana, February 1.-The strike of the oigarmakers was settled this morning. The men asked on what conditions they could return to work, and the masters replied that they could return on the conditions ex- isting before the strike. This reply they accepted, and on Tuesday they will return. The cost of the strike to the manufacturers has been practically nothing. The strikers themselves have lost $10O,O 600. The Heraldo tells Samuel Gompers to return to the Unit ed States, declaring that he came here with the intention of creating disturbances.
 At a meeting of workmen held today at the headquarters of the worKingnien union one man said that worxingnen should not vote for independence, but with a view of changing the existing social arrangements between labor and capital. He asserts that the only enemy of independence was the capitalist class Other workinghmen who spoke objected to this line of argument, taking the ground that there was nothing to be gained by busying themselves with present questions, but that they should con- fine their attention to attaining different social regime. One man remarked that the workingmen had been three years at war. only to return to the same slavery. In h-s opinion they ought not to listen to dema- gogues, who were coaxing the men to vote for independence.
 The cIhabran of tbe meeting explained that the workfngmens union looked upon inde- pendence as a social reform, and should therefore strive ito attain it.
 Mr. Gompers, who addhesed the meeting through an interpreter, eounseled the men ito combine A prominent Havana lawyer, who numbers among his clients many sugar planters says that a great scarcity of la Dor exists in the provinces and that many estates will probably be forced to stop grinding In the province of Pinar del Rio s3.5O per day is paid for ordinary manual labor in the tobacco fields, and this indus try cannot stand bhe expense. He suggests that the means of communication between the labor centers be cheapened and that immigra tlon be unrestricted, although this would be too late for the present crop.
 As a reedy for the evil the Dia of Gel bairen suggests compulsory labor. It de clares that there are hundreds of loafers in the country towns gambling and other wise wasting their time and that it was they who were making the greatest out cry against the Spaniards.

ONE OF THE JURORS INTERVIEWED

New York, February u.-Roland B. Molineux, convicted of the murder of Mrs. Kate J. Adams, was said today by Warden Hagan to have slept as calmly on Saturday night as he did on any other night since his incarceration in the Tombs beginning nearly a year ago. The verdict of the jury, pro- nounced late Saturday night, the warden said does not seem to have in the least af- fected Molineux, so far as his outward ap- pearance was concerned. The warden said that Molineux's demeanor is in striking contrast with other prisoners who had been in his charge and who had within the last three years been convicted of murder in the first degree.
 "He slept like child" was the way the warden put it, referring to Molineux after his return to his cell from the court room on Saturday night. To-day he arose at the usual hour, took exercise for one hour in the prison yard and the usual breakfast supplied by the prison caterer, and read with apparent eomposure the morning

CHATTAHOOCHE
 RAPIDLY RISING All the Bridges Are Threatened River Shows Rise of
 26 Feet.

Columbus, Ga., February 11.-By tomor- row morning the Chattahooche river will be higher than it has been before in twenty five years. The river showed a rise of 26 feet at g o'clock, and the guage showed it was still rising at the rate of eighteen inches per hour. It is raining hard here to- night. and advices from up the river show that it has rained all day as far up as At lanta.
 Fears are entertained for the safety of the steamers down the river. Considerable damage has already been done to work on the big dam of the Columbus Power com pany at Lovers Leap. The two wagon bridges in this city are considered in dan ger, in which event 10000 people who live across the river al Phoenix City and Girard and at least 2,OOO mill operatives and la borers who work on this side, will be cut off temporarily from making living.

THE COMING CONTESTS
Republicans Will Seek to Bring Con-
 test Before Federal Court

Louisville, Ky, February 11.-It is report- ed tonight that the republicans will this week seek to bring the contest for the off, ces eff governor and lieutenant governor be- fore the federal court. Former Governor Bradley, chief counsel for the republicans, in their application before Judge Taft to- restrain the state election commissioners from proceeding with the contests for the minor offices was in town this evening in consultation with leading republican law yers.
 The case involving the minor offices comes up tomorrow at Cincinnati, and it is believed the other cases will also be taken up before Judge Taft, though it is not likely it will be done until after Tuesday. On that day the application of the democrats for an injunction to restrain Governor Taylor from interfering with the legislature will come up in the circuit court at Frankfort
 The case has been continued from time to time by the democrats pending the peace. negotiations. It is expected temporary injunction will be granted The case will then be taken to the court of appeals, the stato court of last resort.
 Upon whether or not an appeal to the fed- eral court will lie depends the republican hope of relief from that quarter.
 Governor Beckham, Senator Blackburn and their associates dn the democratic state government passed quiet day. The iegls- lature will remain here at least until 1t has received a report from its committee, which it Is expected will be appointed to- morrow to investigate conditions at Frank fort. From talk among the members it Is not believed they will return to the capitol while soldiers are about the state buildings.
