RIOTING in HAVANA.
Strikers Attempt TO Take Charge.
Of the Cuban Capital.
NEARLY A HUNDRED MEN SHOT
As Result Of Bloody Clash Two strik.
ers are Dead and a Score Of Peo.
pie are Wounded Among Them =.
Several Police Officers.

AS the result of conflicts Of a se.
rious nature in Havana Monday be-
tween the police and the men on
strike there, two strikers are dead and
eighty-two other persons wounded.
Five Of the wounded, one a lieutenant
of police, whose throat was cut by 81
striker, have very severe injuries.
Eight other policemen are wounded.
The strike, which at first only con.
cerned the cigar makers, became gem.
eral at an early hour of the morning,
by the calling OF all trades in sympa-
thy with the cigar makers. ALI the
trades people closed their doors at
once, clerks, cooks and every, class Of
workmen having obeyed the COM
mand Of the union except the motor
men and conductors of the electric
cars, who refused to join in the gen.
eral strike.
Trouble began by the holding up
Of the electric cars by the strikers,
whose wrath naturally was directed
against the street railroad employees.
Several cars were held up and stoned
in the outskirts Of the city and the
passengers were compelled to walk
into Havana, among these being the
British and German minister. Sew
eral cars were wrecked and some mo-.
tormen and conductors were injured
during these occurrences. The car
men, however, continued running Meir
cars until 10 o'clock, when Superin-
tendent Greenwood ardered a-suspen-
sion of traffic. The employees Were
willing to remain at work, but the ofd-.
GERS Of the company, in order to pro-
tect the property, deemed it wise to:
suspend the service. Mr.. Greenwood
had asked for protection from the civ.,
II governor, but the authorities were
unable to protect the public vehicles.
A mob of strikers drove the men on
the western railroad from the trains
during the morning.
The mayor took drastic measureas
and issued an edict prohibiting crowds
from gathering in the streets and au-3
thorizing the chief Of police to kill, It;
such action should be necessary, to-
preserve order.
The Central Veterans Union, head
ed by General Gomez, held a meeting
during the afternoon and sent word to-
the labor unions that If the disorders
continued the veterans would offer
their services to President Palma to-;
preserve order.
No bread or meat is on sale, and q
continuance Of the strike viii cause
much suffering to the peor.
The mayor gave full power to the
chief Of police who soon had the situ-
alton under control.
Public BIames Tamayo.
Senior Tamayo has resigned his of.
fee Of secretary of government, but
President Palma will not accept his
resignation until the strike has been
settled. The public blames Tamayo
for his active participation in the
strike and says he and the mayor are
responsible for the riot as he had
openly expressed sympathy with the
strikers. At q political meeting last
week, at which Senor Tamayo was
chairman, he Endorsed the action OF
the strikers.

PARAGoNs OF DUTY.
DrsIl Legends of FiIiaI Piety a.
Prncticed In .JaDan

Prncticed In Japan.
The japanese make much of the duty
of children to parents. In some Of
their popular stories they exaggerate
the wholesome virtue until it becomes
absurd. There is a group of such tales
called THE -Four and Twenty Para
CONS OF Filial Piety," some OF which
Mr.. Basil Hall Chamberlain collects in
Things Japanese"
One is the story of the paragon whose
cruel stepmother was very fond of ash.
In spite of her harsh treatment he lay
naked on a frozen lake until his body
melted a hole in the ice. He caught
two fish that came up TO breathe and
set them before his stepmother An
other paragon lay uncovered ut night
in order that the mosquitoes should
fasten on him alone and allow his
parents to slumber undisturbed
Still another, who was extremely
poor, determined TO sacrifice his own
child in order to save food to support
his aged mother. He was rewarded
by heaven with the discovery Of YES
sci filled with gold, on which the whole
family lived happily ever after A
fourth gave her father chance TO es-
cape while she chung TO the jaws of the
tiger whicl was about to devour him.
s The drollest story Of all is of Rovai-
sEL This paragon, although seventy
years old. used TO dress liz baby's
clothes and sprawl about the floor. His
object was piously to delude his par
ents. who were more than ninety years
of age. into the idea that they could
not be so very old after all, seeing that
they had an infant son.
