Jersey was ordered to proceed indie
pendently of these ships to Havana,
and is now on her way. By wireless
the navy department was informed
this afternoon that the Louisiana and
Virginia had passed the capes and
were sailing southwark at speed Of
twelve knots an hour. 1t is expected
that both of these ships will be report
ed from time to time by wireless on
the southern voyage. The Newark
sailed from Norfolk this afternoon and
the Minneapolis will sail from League
island tomorrow morning. With the
force already at Havana and that
which will be there in few days the
navy department feels assured that it
will be amply able to prevent any
trouble in Havana. and it apepars that
the movement of such a force toward
the Cuban capital was due to the fact
that there was grave danger to the
capital of Cuba.
Have Confidence.
Every confidence is felt at the navy
department in the force which has
been sent to Cuba as being sufficient
to meet any situation which arises.
The blue Jackets are available for land
ing at any time and they will be sup
plemented by the marines which are
on a number of the cruisers and bat
tleships. 1t is not expected that the
naval force will be used for and inland
operations if that becomes necessary.

triple screw cruiser Minneapolis with

WABASH MEN ARE
OUT ON STRIKE
MoBERLY,Mo., THE NEAREST
POINT TO THIS CITY
AFFECTED
According to Local Officials Of the
Road There Will be Trouble In the
Handling of Trains From Ottumwa-
Other Railroad News. 80.

According to the statements OF Wa
bash railroad men who run trains into
this city from Moberly, Mo-, the strike
o.. among the boilermakers and ma
chinists will not affect the running OF
trains in any way as long as the tram
men are not involved.
Moberly is the nearest point to this
city where any Wabash shops are To-
Gated, so the strike does not materially
affect Ottumwa.
A number of the shopmen went out
yesterday in Chicago, ILL.,, Fort Wayne,
Ind, Decatur, ILL.,, Springfield, ILL.,, and
Moberly, Mo. The strike, before it is
through with may involve the whole
working force of the Wabash railroad
and eventually become the most I'M
portant since the famous tie-up of the
American railway union in 1894.
Order Issued by keppler.
The strike order,which went through
]. ]. Keppler, business agent of dis
| trict council No. of the machinists'
union, was forwarded yesterday from
Chicago to Kansas City and Moberly
Mo-, where the big plants of the Wa
bash company are located. Word
came back from Moberly that the men
there had left their places before theirs
was an opportunity for their time tc
be made up. The most expert ma
chinists employed by the company, i,
is said are employed in the Moberly
shops. The report which reached Chi
cago yesterday was to the effect tina
all had quit.
President Deano's Opinion.
President Delano of the Wabash, ]
Is said, thinks that the men have tax
en- an unfair advantage of the compa
ny. He said that the strike had beef
ordered pending negotiations ant
that the officials of the union were en-
deavoring to gain support from tn
general public to which they were no
entitled.
Business Agent Keppler, represent
ing the union, said last night that h
called the strike in Chicago, after h
had exhausted every means at hi
command to bring about an amicabl
settlement between the Wabash CON
pany and the union.
; Officials of the Wabash company j
Chicago insisted yesterday that notl
! ing had happened which would ham,
lar the work Of the road.

Havana. Sept. 1S-Since the return

point.
Havana, Sept. 1S.-The lack of a
concrete effort to secure peace is no
ticeable today. Several peace commit

for various rebel centers did not start

peaceably if they are not molested, but
that they will fight if they meet with

this impression, but it is believed that
no attempt will be made against Hava-

force, which is now variously reported
to be from twenty to forty miles dis

the presence in Havana harbor of the

Interest in Reading.
The report was to the effect that e.
H. Hartman and finanicers allied with
him has acquired control of the Balti-

interest in Reading. Bankers
with particularly good sources of in
formation declared there could be no

ed a considerable stock holding.
This holding, it is believed, was
largely augmented last spring, when
the company put out new stock issue

to subscribe to the new issue and also
purchased others rights on large
