 Havana, Nov 25.--The street cars are running to-day without interrup- ton. No further disturbance has been reported. .
 The veterans have taken steps to bring about a meeting between the strike leAders and President Palma. It will take place at noon.
 The strong show of armed force made by the rural guard i'll the suburbs of Havana quieted the riotous feeling of the strikers. The police are now searching all suspicious persons and strikers who congregate in the streets are immediately dispersed.
 The strike, however, remains gen. eral, so far as the trades people are concerned. No bread or meat can be bought and both ice plants are closed, which has caused much food to be spoiled
 There were indications of a break in the general strike to-day. Several bake shops opened and most of the bakers resumed work Returns from the hospital give the total number of injured yesterday as 106. Two strik- CTS and one fireman were killed to-day as the result of collision between a fire engine and an electric car

JACK THE HUGGER.
Waterbury Girls Have Been Attacked
 Frequently of Late.

CEeQueully OI LdCe.
 Judging from the number of reports concerning girls being hugged by men on the streets, there must be asnumber of Jack the Huggers" around this city. From all parts of the city come reports of young ladies being stopped on the street by men who attempt to hug them. On Saturday night a. we'll known young lady, school teacher was approached by man on West Main street, near North Willow street, who was suffering considerably from too much drink He stopped her, started to tell her how much he loved her and then tried to kiss her. h. stead of screaming, the young lady, who had bundle in her hand, hit the man square in the face with the bum dle and almost knocked him out The chances are that he will not attempt to waste his affections on any young lady whom he doesn't know hereafter. One night last week man reported at the police station that little girl had been chased down Ward street by a man, and so it is from all parts of the city come reports of the doings of "Jack the Hugger."

 San Francisco, Nov 25.-SeYeral hun dred business men representing all me commercial bodies of this city nave rendered a reception to Wu Ting Fang, the retiring minister from China. II response to an address MT Wu said:
 There is a great market in the Orl- ent for you. China nas stood still Tor centuries, but it's door is now open to foreign commerce and it is for you to develop your trade h dealing with my countrylnen you must adhere to the hard and fast ties in vogue over here. When we Chinese make a promise our word is just as good as another's bond. Therefore I beg to suggest that when a merchant in China gives you an order you accept his word. He always will keep it. The friendship thus formed will be a permanent one. The first transaction with a Chinese merchant is very important. Upon the subject of Chinese immigration l do not pro- pose to dwell, but must impress upon you that if you desire to increase your trade tenfold do not exclude our mer- chants, travellers or students from this country, for they can and will do inn mense good to you. China is a vast country and while she is making eX- tensiye reforms it is very difficult to induce innovations. I beg of you, therefore. not to be too sanguine, nor to count too much upon my ability to bring about an increase of trade with your country when I am in office as minister of commerce.8
