1900 JEWISH BARRIERS STRIKE
Union Official Predicts Entire City May
Soon Be UnShaven.

According to David Slapakoff, treasurer
of the Hebrew BARRIERS Union, fifteen hun
dred Jewish BARRIERS went out on strike
Yesterday. Five hundred bosses settled
few minutes after the walkout had been
officially called. a committee of the boss
BARRIERS met the United Hebrew Trades
Union late last night in an effort to settle
the trouble, but they could not come TO
any agreement.
1t might come to pass that no one in TIT
entire city could get a shave. Mr. Slap
akof said, unless some settlement was
made by tomorrow evening. II is believed
that the strike will affect some seven thoI,
sand or eight thousand BARRIERS Of various
natlonalities.
1t is understood that the walkout has
been contemplation for some time. The
BARRIERS are aggrieved at the failure Of tho
bosses to recognize the union. They Insist
that the union card should be conspicuously
displayed in every shop. Shorter hours ard
more pay also figure in the demands

FRENCH DIPLOMATIC FURRY
impossible at Present to Trans
fer Ambassador to Russia.

Paris. Nav 30-French opinion Is per-
turbed in consequence Of the attempts OF
the German press to emphasize the import
ance of the diplomatic incident IN whlch the
names of Georges Louis, French Amnassa-
dor TO Russia, and A. +. lswolsky' RUSSIAN
Ambassador TO France, have been lnVoiVeo'
and by the efforts of the Berlin newspa-
pers to make out that the affair shows the
alliance between France and Russia to be
on the verge OF rupture.
This is declared here to be absolutely
untrue. The countries are closer than ever
together and Premier Poincares forthcom-
ing Journey TO ST. Petersburg will be de-
voted TO the strengthening OF the bonds
that unite them.
In the meantime the position OF NJ. lswoi-
sky at Paris is beng rendered delicate by
excessive comment on the AFFAIR ana 10y
the charge, which Is quite without SUBJ
sanitation, that he has been working Sc
cretly with Sgnor TittonL Italian Ambas-
sador TO France. over the heads of the st.
Petersburg and Paris governments, in con-
nection with the suggested mediation in
the TurcO-ltalian war.
Another result of the discussion is TO
make II impossible for the present Tor
France to allow the transfer or retirement
Of Ambassador Louis from st Petersburg.
The journal quotes an unnamed Rus
sian diplomat as saying that Sergius Saz-
onoff Russian Minister for Foreign AHalrs'
is annoyed by the whole affair. The dip
lomat significantly adds that 1t Is possible
Ambassador Louis will not he the first to
leave his post.
An inspired dispatch from St petersburg
to the Temps denies in most categorical
form the insinuation that there IS any oil"
vergence of views between France ana
Russia. Russia, according to the DISPATCH
is anxious to bring the Turco-ltalian war
to an end, as it is causing immense losses
to Russian shipping. Nevertheless the Rus
sian government does not harbor the slight
est design against Turkey, nor II Is eXer-
cising pressure on Turkey.
Russia is likewise anxious to preserve
the existing condition of things In the Bal
kans, for which purpose it has reached un-
derstandings with Austria and Italy, THESE
understandings are not inimical to France.
Russia hopes that France will not be in
nuenced by the attempts of schemers to
destroy the solid Franco-Russian alliance

NEGRO REVOLT IN CUBA
Unearth Widespread Conspiracy
Extending to All Provinces.
1900 TROOPS CALLED OUT
Rebels Reused by Denial of Po-
litical Rewards for Services
in War Of 1898.

Havana. May 2O.-There is no room
for doubt tonight of the existence of
negro conspiracy extending to all tie
provinces of the island. with the APP
parent intention of taking up arms
against the government to-day, which
was the tenth anniversary of Cuban in
dependence The negroes appear to
have been reused to rebellion by the de-
nal of what seems to them their just
political rewards for services rendered
in the war of independence, in which
they constituted a great majority of the
Cuban forces.
The feeling against the government
has been intensified by a law denying
the negroes the right to organize politi-
cal party.
The principal trouble now is in the
vicinity of Sagua La Grande, in Santa
Clara Province, and Cruces. where two
armed parties are operating, and IN
Oriente Province, where several bands
are converging on Guantanamo City.
with the apparent purpose of making a
display of force at that place. The
rural guard succeeded in dispensing one
small party and capturing two others.
The situation is considered sufficiently
grave for the government to dispatch
this evening a column of 1900 men from
Camp Columbia, composed of cavalry
and infantry with field and machine
guns, bound for Santa Clara and Oriente
provinces.
Near Sagua La Grande squad Of
rurales had an engagement with an
armed band of negroes. One of the
guard was killed and the negroes made
their escape. From Cruces comes the
report that the residents Of the surround
ing country are fleeing to the city for
shelter. The insurgents are reported to
have held up a locomotive and stolen
many horses.
At Mariana, eight miles from Havana,
the rural guard exchanged shots with
a party of negroes. capturing one OF
them and also nine rifles.
The Secretary OF the Interior. Senior
Bru. said tonight that there was no
uUuul dbOut Nilp NibCSbl eau ApNiUi WI
spiracy. which the government is de-
termined to deal with drastically, but
that up to the present the only danger
points are Santa Clara and Oriente.
There are no symptoms of serious
trouble. he added, in other parts of the
island
The situation resembles that preceding
the last revolution, when the negroes. in
February, 1906, conspired to make a
simultaneous attack on all the rural
guard posts, but only attacked that at
Guanabacca, the garrison of which was
massacred. This was a prelude to the
general revolution which broke out In
august Of that year.
4 late dispatch received by the gov
eminent from Lejas, Santa Clara, says
that a negro band. headed by Simon
Armenteros, destroyed the telegraph
station at the Santissima plantation at
Trinidad, in Santa Clara, and also
burned bridge of the railway from
Sagua lie Grande TO Cienfuegos. Armen-
teros declares it is his intention to do
his utmost to destroy foreign property.

ANOTHER LONDON DOCK STRIKE

with another serious dock strike. Five
thousand lighteTmen ceased work tonight
on account Of a dispute following an at
tempt to force a single recalcitrant TO join

The London section of the Transport
Workers Federation has adopted resolu-
ton in favor OF passive assistance to the

settled 1t is believed that 10000 transport
workers will also strike.

This players indefinite suspension, pending

player's innocence had been established he
would have been promptly reinstated,
without the loss of a dollar Of his salary
