UNREST OF NEW
YORK OPERATORS
nr NE IouRNAEs speelaI vic.

BY THE JOURNALS Special Wire.
NEW YORK. Aug. 10.-Ofhcials OF the
TeIographers here are doing all in their
power to prevent a strike but the belief
is prevalent among the union operators
that walk out Of between three and four
thousand men In the employ Of the West
ern Union and Postal companies viii take
place Monday or Monday night unless
some general settlement is reached in the
meantime.
The network Of wires in Greater New
York comprises the most complicated and
largest local and exchange system In tho
world. a tle-up would disrupt practically
all the Eastern telegraph business and
shut OFF inland communication with tho
cable systems handling the great volume
OF business across the Atlantic
The walk out here would result either
from a general strike order or from re-
fusal of union men TO handle wires con-
meeting cities where strikes now prevail.
Under such explanation. however, would
be the smoldering resentment Of the union
men against the Western Union Company.
as they believe President Ciowry failed
to keep his word to the operators. Oper-
dLole VINO were uiatuhibtu ueiott AAuWA1
issued his now famous peace letter to
Commissioner NELL of the arbitrator for
the u. S. Government have sought arbi-
traton In vain. The company's officials
say that Clowry's letter has been followed
out in every feature.
Demonstration Tomorrow.
All the union operators IN New York
will meet tomorrow afternoon for the
purpose Of making a demonstration and
arriving at a decision regarding the local
situation.
The Western Union Company has two
hundred cots stored in the general office
building ready for use by non-union oper-
ators in case Of walk out These cots
were put in during the recent trouble.
officials Of the two companies assert
that they viii be able to fight the union
here, but the union officials claim that
about 90 per cent. Of all the operators in
the greater city will answer a strike call.

MOORS CARRIED
OFF 20 WOMEN
Expedition Of Soldiers Will be
Sent Against Them From
Casa Blanca
NATIVES ARE READY TO
ATTACK TANGIERS
~ THE JouRNAL.s speelal vic.


TANGIER. Aug 1O.-The war against
the Moors is to be carried into Africa
with temporary security for Europeans
assured at Casa Blanca. To-days ad-
vices announced that an expedition will
be dispatched against the natives en-
camped near the town to recapture
women carried away from the city by
the Moors. 1t is now stated that fully
Ia score Of women were carried into
captivity 1t is the purpose Of the ex-
pedition TO recover them or inhict such
heavy losses on the Moors that they
will surrender any Of their captives
who are still alive.
With between 10000 and 10000 sol
.diers now at Casa Blanca, as the latest
advices show, and half a dozen war
ships in the harbor, it Is believed that
enough men can be spared to send a
strong force on the expedition.
Natives Ready for Attack
While the situation has quieted down
somewhat the crisis has by no means
passed. An attack on Tangier is one
Of the immediate possibilities. The
firing on the city yesterday by natives
amounted to little, and was continued
only a few hours. But the natives are
gathered by thousands in the hills
ready for an attack if opportunity pre-
sents itself.
In other cities along the coast there
is the same danger OF attack at ans
moment. Warships are now at Rabai
and Mazagan, and can probably protect
Europeans. but their presence has only
served to inhame the Moors.
Preaching Holy War
Agitators are still preaching the holy
war throughout the country, and fight
ing men from the interior aroused by
the fanatics. are swarming down to th'
coast. The presence Of these fanatics
makes the situation more dangerous, as
they are thirsting for blood and 2
chance to loot. and are urging Other
ltribesmen to fresh attacks.
