SAN FRANCISCO STRIKE
Causing Annoyance and Inconvcu-
ieuce-No Disorder.

tAusfnS annoyance ana iuCpuNcu-
irnce-No Disorder.
SAN FRANCISCO, July S1.-There
were but few changes in the local labor
situation to-day. Both employers and
strikers are standing firm and each
side claims confidence in winning with
out drawing on its reserves. No seri-
Gus disturbance OF the peace occurred.
The strikers are observing strictly the
injunction TO abstain from violence.
The employers hold out no hope for a
speedy settlement of the trouble. and
say there is nothing in sight but hard
battle. Two of the big steamship
companies assert that they are getting
non-union men to ill the places of some
of the strikers and believe that within
short time they can secure all the
men needed to operate their boats. An
intimation was made that the steam
ship companies will. II necessary, bring
men to San Francisco from other points
in the United States. A few non-union
men were employed as longshoremen
on the docks of the Oceanic Company
and the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany. On the former gang worked
half the night putting cargoes aboard
the steamer Sierra. which is due to sail
for Australia tomorrow. Arriving
vessels to-day we're deserted by their
crews, who reported Immediately at the
headquarters Of the union. Sixteen
vessels are being loaded by their own
crews. who have no connection with
the local labor unions.
The drivers OF the Pacific Transfer
Company were called out to-day. This
will have a serious effect on the hand
ling of baggage. The sand steamers
are also ordered out This new devel-
opment may put a stop TO building
operations throughout the city.
BY the best informed students OF the
situation il is declared that the out
come of the contention Is mainly de-
pendent upon the coal supply. Only
morning. and ii is expected there is
not enough coal in the city to meet the
demand longer than two weeks.
A scarcity of fuel will not only Grip
pie the manufacturing interests, but
every household will feel it.
From remarks dropped by some of
the federation leaders this morning, 1t
is apparent that the effect of prevent
ing the unloading of coal Is fully real
lied by them, and that special efforts
will be made to keep the embargo in
tact.
The city front federation granted
permission to-day to a number of
teams to haul coal to the lighthouse
tender, so there will be no stoppage of
the lighthouse service. Permission has
also been granted to the charitable in
situations and hospitals to receive sup
plies hauled by union teamsters. While
| five steamers are being loaded to-day,
the general appearance OF the harbor
is one of inactivity There are scores
of vessels awaiting cargo which is
ready to be put aboard when men shall
be found TO handle It, Mayor Phelan
held a conference with both sides to the
controversy to-day. Although no def
mite result was accomplished, the
Mayor said
did yesterday. The employers seem
willing to reinstate the striking team
sters II the latter will agree not to en-
gage in sympathetic strikes and not at
tempt to force their fellow workers into
the union"

RESOURCES OF CUBA.
The Island Practically Undcvsioped
and In Need OF Capital.

and In Need of Capital.
NEW YORK, July S1.-Gen. Leonard
Wood, military governor OF Cuba. who
is now on board the dispatch boat Kan
awha preparing for cruise along the
coast of New England. said to-day in
discussing Cuban affairs:
Cuba is totally undeveloped island
and has great future before 1t. yell
low fever in another year will cease
to be epidemic We have not had a
single case'of yellow fever at Havana
this summer and none in eastern Cuba
for two years past.
"Cuba's resources require capital for
development. The last enormous sugar
crop was raised on eight per cent. of
the entire sugar producing lands. Only
this small percentage is under eultiva-
ton. We have 81 $780, 600 in our re-
serve fund and can pay all our debts
and get out of Cuba within the next
eight months. We have established s.
600 flourishing schools. Two years ago
we were obliged to provide over one
hundred orphan asylums to protect the
destitute children; since then We have
abolished sixty and expect to be able
to close more before we retire from
the management of the Cuban affairs.
Our troops have been well cared for
and their health compares favorably
with that of the troops in this ooun-
try, showing that the island is healthy.

Marlin Fry Driven to Take His
Brother-in-Law's Life by Wifc's
FaithiessnesS.
CARLISLE. Pa, July Si.-Martin Fry
was hanged here to-day for the murder
of James Edward Collins. his brother
inlaw. His neck was broken by the
fall Of the drop and death was instan-
taneous. Fry maintained his compos-
ure to the end. He walked coolly to
the seaffold and made brief speech. in
which he maintained his innocence and
asked that his children be projected
and cared for. The body was taken to
Fry's former home in Perry county for
burial.
The crime for which Fry was hanged
was committed on May 10. 1900.
The shooting occurred at their home
three miles west of MELVILLE. Both
families occupied the same house. Fry
returned home in the afternoon and
found that Collins had locked the cellar
where the victuals were kept. He de-
manded that Collins open the door ana
in the alteration that followed Collins
rushed at Fry with a hammer. Fry
seized a gun which was standing inside
the door of the house and shot Collins
killing him instantly.
Fry was convicted of murder in the
first degree, the State holding that il
was premeditated murder and that
Frys criminal intimacy with Collins S
wife furnished the motive. Appeals to
the Supreme Court and Pardon Board
awaited nothing.

AT MONTPELIER JUNCTION

The Central Vermont station at Montpel-
ieT junction has again been wiped out by
fire. The fire was discovered in the oil
room at the station at about seven o'clock
on Monday evening and is supposed to have
been caused from a spark from an engine
flying into the room and lodging among
oily waste.
The flames spread rapidly ard as there
was no water convenient or sufficient aid to
handle IL effectively, had there been, 1t was
soon evident that the building was doomed
Station Agent s. L. Shroyer and family
occupied tho tenement on the second floor
OF the station and made good their escape
wi h ut accident, but their belongings were
destroyed with the rest OF the building,
Practically nothing was saved.
The flames spread to the ont building and
totally destroc ed that with four cars OF
granite standing on a siding near by. Five
box cars were also scorched. The covered
platform was destroyed except about thirty
feet OF the end toward the railroad bridge.
An alarm ives given in this city by at
tempting o ring box 10 at the corner OF
Main and East State streets, but the box
failed until Chief Engineer Peck got into
the works OF the box and sounded partial
alarm.
Chief Peck and Mayor Brown led the
way in carriage for the hook al d ladder
and No. hose companies for the Junction
the Lsngdon farm when they were met by
some men who assured them that the fire
was at the X. W. Warren farm on the other
side OF the river. The department hustled
back and reached Green Mount cemetery
before the error was learned, for from this
point the fire could be plainly seen. 1t was
OF no use TO go on as the fire had by this
time gotten in its work. b fore starting
out large crowds in the city we watching
the illumination made by the fl smes on the
sky. The railroad telegraph line was des-
troyed so that trains had to get their orders
during the night over the Western Union
wires from this city, which we're unds.
turbed.
This inconvenience resulted in the block
ade OF freight traffic at the Junction, as the
tracks were filled with trains this morning
A hastily improvised telegraph Office es-
tsblished in box car soon opened this
blockade.
A large force OF men have been at work
since early morning clearing away the ruins
and making an addition to the scanty plat
form. The transfer of baggage and ex-
press hes OF necessity been tedious and
slow.
Station Agent Shroyer and his family
have found quarters in a neighboring farm
house. The loss, outside OF the destroyed
shipments OF granite, is estimated to be
between 5000 and $1,000 and Is covered by
the blanket insurance covering the entire
property of the railroad company. The
work OF rebuilding the station will be be.
