small body OF insurgents contested the way
for a few hours, killing and wounding
about twenty OF the federals. Their own
loss in killed and wounded was estimated
at less than this, but the government es-

wounded at about forty
Navarro is in supreme command Of the
combined forces, and is now making
preparations for pursuing the enemy and
for the better care OF the wounded, whom
he could not safely remove from the hos

The whole revolutionary movement
lacks a forceful leader, and unless some
real leader aris ! and brings patriotic in

to be lost. None OF the present leaders
has developed any such genius.
Despite these facts the task ahead or

ANNUAL STRIKE is ON TIME
Boys Knee Breeches Makers
Ordered to Quit Work To-day.


The five. thousand members OF the
Boys Knee Breeches Makers Union, In
Guiding one thousand women. will go on
their annual strike to-day in three hun
dred shops. In conformity with strike
order issued yesterday in Manhattan
Brooklyn and Brownsville for higher
wages and shorter workday Inc
strike takes place always at this time
OF the year because the season for max
ing these garments for the spring trade
always starts with the new year.
Unlike the other annual strikes OF the
knee breeches makers, this strike VIII
be against the manufacturers instead OF
the contractors, or middlemen, who con-
tract for the making up OF the garments
after they are cut. and the CONTRACTORS
are expected this time to side with the
taiIors and demand from the manufact-
urers higher prices for themselves, SO
that they can pay the advances demand
ed by the strikers.
It was said that two thousand non
union girls will Join In the strike, and
two thousand fnishers, besides button
hole makers and trimmers, In All making
ten thousand workers, will be affected
directly and indirectly.
The knee breeches makers say that
after every yearly strike the wages are
increased, but begin to drop as soon as
the slack season begins. and strike Is
necessary to raise the wages 10 what
they were before. David Welsenfeld,
manager of the union. said that an eff
fort will be made this year TO come TO
some arrangement by which the annual
.trike can be done aMaY with.
