Valparaiso. Chile, May 13.--This city is

One prominent man has been killed, six
are wounded and fifty Of the mob are dead
Or dying.
battle has taken place in the streets
OF the city in which the police were driven
to the barracks by the superior force of
the strikers. Greater bloodshed is anti
cipated. 8
The mob has surrounded the offices Of
FL Mercuro and threatens to sack and
burn the establishment. Thousands of the
strikers are marching on Admiral Months
private house, swearing vengeance on it's
occupants and destruction Of the building.
The authorities seem poweress to check
the mob and owing to the bitter feeling
against the police it has been decided to
keep them in the barracks rather than
further excite the strikers by an in
effectual attempt to quell them. Owing to
the intense confusion it is impossible to
ascertain the exact number of the dead
or the amount of damage done.
A later dispa tch says The strike is
becoming more serious. The strikers after
setting fire to the quay as we'll as to the
offices Of the South American steamship
company had a number of encounters
with the police, during which ten persons
were killed and 200 We're injured. A de-
tachment of 5000 troops has been dis
patched to Valparaiso to quell the dis
order. The government has refused all
offers to compromise the difficulties and is

QUESTIONS ARE ANNOUNCED
Havemeyers Queries to the Labor
Unions Are Made Public.

New York, May 13.-At a conference
between John c. Havemeyer Of Yonkers
and the representative Of the local branch
of the American Federation Of Labor, de-
tails in reference to the public discussion
of labor questions were arranged.
Mr.. Havemeyer says he does not pro-
pose to be drawn into a discussion with
any single labor union. The questions to
be determined are:
First-Shall employers be permitted to
conduct lawful business in a lawful way
without the dictation of walking dele
gates from irresponsible and lawless
unions?
Second-Shall employees who refuse to
join a labor union be permitted to earn
support for themselves and families by
honest labor? s
These questions will be divided into
about twenty subdivisions.
Mr.. Havemeyer has sent letter to the
Brotherhood Of Carpenters and Joiners of
this city, in which he says:
I'm the first place, l did not propose
debate or discussion. The meeting is
solely that the trade unions of Yonkers
may have an opportunity of presenting
their side Of the question. In the second
place the invitation is to all of the unions
and not to any single one which may be
disposed to accept"
