aftermath of the Elks' parade in the
city Thursday.
Heat. humidity and poisoned lemon

the parade pass through its streets.
Nearly a million men. women and chill

in Broad street to witness the specta-

through the streets spectators were
stricken down by the heat, fell TO the
ground until Broad street looked like
a battlefield after a cavalry charge.

Havana, July 7.-Gov. Magoon, replying
to a request by the independent cigar
manufacturers that he arbitrate the
strike of the cigarmakers, says that he
sees no way in which he can officially
interfere.
The Fourth Of July celebrations by the
soldiers stationed In various parts of the
island had more significance than the
mere commemoration Of Independence
Day. Since the beginning Of the last in
teryention the soldiers have been kept in
the background to such an extent as to
lose all the prestige they gained during
the first Intervention. when the natives
had wholesome respect for them. The
celebrations on the Fourth. the field
meets and tournaments were intended 10

troops could do. A general effort was
made to secure the presence Of Cubans at
these destas
There is a general feeling In the army
that ii would be a good thing II the sol
diers could operate against the bandits,
thus giving the Cubans a well-needed
object lesson. In the minds Of the Of

tives, seeing the soldiers kept In the back
ground and held down. feel that the
