Croton Landing, N. Y, April 49,
The first blOodshed as the outcome OF
the strike ut the Cornell dam was the
iife's blood Of Sergeant Robert Doug
lass Of the Eleventh separate company
Of Mount Vernon, who was shot dead
by an unknown assassin while he was
relieving guard at $50 O'Clock tonight.
The widest excitement prevailed
throughout the camp rs soon as the
news of the assassination spread to
the different tents, and the soldiers are
frantic over the crime.
Giovanni Branchi, the Italian consul
general. deplOres the sending Of troops
to the scene of the strike.
"This parade of soldiery," he said,
will result In some evil. 1t is not
troops that are needed. 1t Is the Glenn
ency of the contractors. l am now
thoroughly convinced thnt the wages
which they have been paying some of
their men are based on a starvation
schedule.
Fifteen more dollars Il day paid out
BY the contractors In wages would set
tie the whole difficulty But these men
resist. They refuse to make any con-
cession. asked them to pay $1.3Sla
a day to the 100 men who lead the
strike instead of $1.25. as before, but
they would not listen to the PROPOSE
tion."

BUTCHERS ON THE MOVE.

Reported 60 HAYS Raised the Siege Of

London, April 1.-THE Bloemfontein
correspondent of the Standard, tele-
graphing Monday, says:
THE Beers are in full retreat from
Wepener, hugging the Basutoland bor-
der. The Basutos are marching paral-
lei with them along the frontier,
watching eagerly for the slightest en-
croachment."
The Bloemfontein correspondent Of
the Telegraph, in dispatch dated yes

1.-THE Beers have raised the siege of
Wepener and have left Rockville. A
majority Of them have undoubtedly re-
turned north, with the exception of a
body Of about 5000 now reported to be
going toward BethulIe."

New York, April 17.-John w. Gates
Of the American Steel and Wire Com
pany says that twelve mills in the con-
stituent companies have been shut
down. They are at Pittsbur9. Cieve-
land, Joliet, Waukegan, Illinois; De
Kalb. Illinois; Newcastle, Indiana, and
Anderson. Indiana.
Mr.. Gates said the cause of the clos
ing down of the mills was Over-produc-
ton. He was unable to state when the
mills would resume operations. as they
FIRST would have to ascertain the ex-
tent of the reproduction. When
asked as to his views as to the trade
situation and outlook, Mr.. Gates stat
ed that the shut down of the mills was
the best evidence of the current situa-
ton.
Mr.. Gates made another statement
later, In which he said the twelve mills
which had been closed had daily ca
pacity of from 5000 to 1900 tons. He
said slack business was an additional
reason for the suspension of opera
lions. The best information is that the
mills will be closed indefinitely. Four
thousand men, boys and girls will be
affected by the shut down.

Croton Landing. N. r., April IA
There IL plenty Of trouble brewing -
the Croton dam between the striking
Italians who are clamoriDg for ln0se
wages and the contractors who are
steadfast In refusing any concessions.
All day to-day 1t was expected that
bloody work would occur. but not
stone was thrown or shot fired.
Sheriff MallOy Of Westchester cOun-
ty, who has the responsibility Of pro
tecting the property In the district. had
100 deputies armed with revolvers
guarding the works all day.
Only once did the deputies have
chance of showing their authority, This
was when nm attempt was made to pull
out locomotive from the roundhouse
TO draw load of coal up to the steam
pump. The strikers, about 500 strong.
who were on the hill nearby. charged
down on the deputies, who scattered
quickly and the engineer quit his post.
There liz very little prospect Of the
strikers allowing outsiders to fill their
places, and, as Sheriff Malloy has call

rive here tomorrow night, a clash may
occur on Monday morning when the

Santiago, Cuba. April 16-The recep-

the Efforts Of the white and black par
ties to obtain the first recognition. The
black party, represented by the Gu

publication In defiance Of the orders Of
the authorities who had directed its
suppression, sent tug to meet the
steamer Maria Herrera at quarantine
and succeeded In inducing General Go

Meanwhile another tug, carrying the
civil governor. General Castillo, the
mayor and other officials representing
the dominant white party, was entire
ly ignored by Gomez.
The black party, highly elatetl, took
the guest to the landing, where an I'M
mense crowd gathered on the frail pri-
vate wharf Of local boat club This
collapsed and many were thrown into
the water, one man being drowned.
The official party declined to recog-
nize General Gomez in consequence Of
his recognition Of the black party. and
there is considerable excitement
When the procession passed through
the city, without either civil governor
or mayor, riOting was narrowly pre-
vented by the vigorous action OF the
police under American oflcen.
This afternoon all the clnbs gave re-
captions to General Comes, but the
white party refused to attend any Of
them.
