STRIKE BECOMES FORMIDABLE
All WOrkmen in Havana Called
Upon to Cease from
Labor.

HAVANA, April S.-The strike situation
here is assuming formidable proportions.
Mounted policemen this morning dispersed
a mass meeting of 1000 men and arrested
the leader of the men, who was engaged
in cTiticising and condemning the police
and local officials Two other men who
attempted to rescue the orator were also
taken into custody.
Tonight committees composed of four
representatives OF each trade met and re-
iterated the intention already expressed of
calling out all their wOrkmen tomorrow
morning. The leaders assert that the work
ers In more than twenty trades win go on
strike tomorrow. including cigarmakers in
all the leading factories, bakers. drivers OF
public conveyances, city slaughter house
employees, walters, carpenters painters, ma
Chinists plumbers, smelters, boatmen, etc
The lghtermen, stevedores. wharfmen
and others engaged In harbor work say
that they cannot strike before Wednesday
on account OF their agreement to give two
days notice of such intention. The main
grievance is that the company insists in
refusing to permit its employees to be mem
bers of any organization regarded as an
tagonistic to the companys interests The
employees insist that the company broke
it's old contracts when It changed the wage
scale and now demand contracts which
have no nonunion clause.
The general strike will not be a wholly
sympathetic one as several unions will take
the opportunity TO press various other
grievances Of their own for which they
hitherto have unsuccessfully contended
Workmen In other Cuban cities also are
to be asked to strike and the movement
is expected to test the strength of the
trades unions in Cuba.

MISSING MAN FOUND IN RIVER
Disappearance of Chris Sven at
sioux Falls ia Partially
Cleared Up.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., April S.-(Special
Telegram.)-The mystery surrounding the
disappearance in this city. on the evening of
February / last of Chris Sven, a farmer
whose home was near Humboldt was to-
day solved by the finding OF the body of
the missing man In the Big Sioux river in
the northern part of the city. Recently the
belief grew stronger that Sven had de-
camDed and had gone to his old home in
Norway. This appeared to be confirmed by
a recent rumor to the effect that the wife
Of the missing farmer had received a let
ter from him, written in Norway.
The city and county authorities made per-
sistent efforts to unravel the mystery sur
rounding Svens disappearance and some
weeks ago the county commissioners en-
gagged Edward j. Hargrove, a Chicago de-
tective, to work upon the case. As the re-
suit of evidence secured by the detective
after about two weeks effort on March 8

Gated in or knowing something concerning
the supposed murder of the missing man
The prisoners were put through the sweat.
ing process, but nothing which tended to
throw light on the mystery could be as
certained. and the authorities finally re-
leased the suspects.
Just when those interested had believed
the mystery in connection with sven's dis
appearance would never he solved, the
body OF the missing man was found in the
river. While two boys were fishing in the
river this forenoon, north of the Sixth
street bridge, a dog belonging to one OF
them swan out into Ine stream and
grasped with It's teeth what appeared to
be some fios ting clothing. This was turned
over by the dog and the boys saw it was
the body of a man. The police were no
titled and Chief Nelson Of the police de-
partment readily Identified the remains as
those of Sven. In the pockets OF the dead
man was bank book, with the writing al
most entirely obiterated by the action OF
the water, little over 81 in cash a pocket
knife, "A pipe and empty tobacco sack
The theory is that Sven walked or fell
into the river on the evening OF his disap-
pearance while in an intoxicated condition.
Coroner Miller will hold an inquest tomor-
row and this doubtless Will determine
whether svens death was accidental or
the result Of foul play.
