Philadelphia, Mar 5.--At - o'clock
last night the order for a general
strike OF all labor unionists in this

who have been out for two weeks,
went into effect Since there were
very few men on duty at that time OF
night. union or non-union. the number
OF those who threw up their jobs could
not be told
But already the riots of last week
had been resumed. Scarcely had the
news Of mo peace possible" reached
the Kensington district from which
the State Constabulary has been with
drawn than there was a pitched bat
tie between a mob OF sympathizers OF
the car men strikers A squad of go
policemen charged the mob. which
numbered about 5000 mill workers.
First the shots were fired over the
heads Of the mob; but when this did
not scare OF the rioters a yolley was
fired directly at the crowd in the
street. William Drexel. one Of the
mill workers. was fatally shot through
the abdomen.
Another man, Robert Model. sew
eral blocks away. was dangerously
wounded in a row.
100000 Places Vacant.
The Central Labor union declared
at the midnight hour that 100000
places would be vacant this morning
The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany and other anti-unionists pre-
dicted that there would not be more
than 10000 or $4,000 idle men on the
streets.
Al the same time. though, this word
went out from Mayor Reyburn and his
under police officers at the city hall:
ITO Gov. Stuart. Harrisburg. Please
be ready 10 send troops of National
Guard here at an instant's notice"
ITO all " G. r. commands in the

obeyed The governor answered that
he would issue the order for the
troops TO proceed here whenever IL
would be necessary. Captains and
cOlonels said they had their men wait
ing TO start at any minute.
Fear Tumultuous Week.
As men assembled on street corners
and in the neighborhood saloons. the
first mutterings Of what is feared will
be a tumultuous week were heard.
There will certainly be a boycott
against The cars and against any
tradesmen doing business with the
transit company or its strikebreak-
ers and there will be very probably
violence worse than that OF the
early days of last week.
Most of the locals" Of the unions
held meetings at which the members
pledged that neither they nor any
members Of thei- families would ride
In cars manned by strikebreakers.
They would not deal. they declared,
with tradesmen who sold supplies to
the companies or the strikebreakers,
or who even rode on the non-union
cars More than that. they pledged
themselves to pay a fine OF five dollars
I for each offense Of riding or dealing.

Therefore the Revolution in
Nicaragua Lies Crushed
to Death
ESTRADA IS DOWN AND OUT
Decisive Blow Dealt General
Chamorro in Bloody Battle
at Iisma.

Bluffields, Nicaragua March 3.-The
discretionary movement headed by
General Estrada against the Nicar-
aguan government has been practical
ly crushed. The insurgent campaign
in the west has petered out and moth
ing is left to the insurgents but to re-
sort to guerrilla warfare. Encour-
aged by the desperate hope that the
United States may yet intervene, in
a wish to put an end to the disturbed
condition of the republic, it is now
admitted that General Chamorro's
campaign was failure. The destruc-
tive blow fell at Tisma, February %,
when General Chamorros force was
defeated and scattered with a loss of
| 800 killed and wounded. Chamorro
himself barely escaped and with a
couple of hundred men fled to San vi
cente where General Mena is en-
trenched. Chamorro estimates the
enemy's loss at 1000 and explains his
own defeat by the exhaustion of his
supply of cartridges.
