GENERAL HUERTA
PUSHING REBELS
A RATHER WARM ENCOUNTER is
EXPECTED IN NEXT FEW
DAYS AT ST. RoSALIE.
-,.,ss SiAf',.

Ell Paso, Tex, May 31.-The ad-
vance guard of the Mexican federals
has Low reached point five miles
south of Santa Rosalia, and 100 miles
south of Chihuahua, according to tele-
grams received early today from Cen
eral Huerta by E. c. Llorente, the
Mexican consul here. Prospects of a
battle for at least a week are re-
mote, as the northward path of the
federals is temporarily blocked by
burned bridges.
The advance from Jiminez, now
the federal base, was made under try
ing difficulties. Twenty five miles
of track had been torn out by the
retraaeing rebels, rails and fastenings
being wrenched from the ties, which
were stacked and burned. Every
bridge and culvert was destroyed by
dynamite or fire. General Huerta's
headquarters are in JimineZ.

STRIKE i. AFTER
PROVED FIASCO
OPEN OR CLOSED SHOP is cRUx
OF ENGLISH DOCK WORKERS
TROUBLES JUST NOW.

London, May 31.-The open or the
closed shop is the crux of the dis
pute in "dockland," and at present
there is no sign that the employers
will consent to debar non-unionists
from their employment, or that the
strike leaders Will agree to permit
their men to work alongside non-un-
ionists.
The joint conference called by the
government for this morning proved
as anticipated, a fiasco. Not single
employer put in an appearance. The
government, however, submitted fresh
PROPOSALS for the consideration OF
the men. Whether Ben Tillett and
Harry Gosling have succeeded in max
ing the dispute a national affair will
be known only after the meeting of
the ational executives tomorrow, but
the Indications are that the sailors
and firemen's union, which probably
will have the deciding vote, will op-
pose the movement on the ground
that the present time is inopportune,
primarily because of the financial
conditions of the union treasury.
Should the decision be against the
national support, the strike appears
bound to fail The number of non
unionists working on the docks is
daily increasing, and the provision
ing Of London goes on uninterrupted
ly.

WITHDRAWN FROM RACE
To the Voters of the Eleventh Con-
eressional District:

To the Voters of the Eleventh Con-
gressional District:
Since ertering the race for con-
eress | find that my business inter-
ests, and the business interests of
those with whom l am associated, are
such as to require practically all of
my time. On this account l I'm un-
my candidacy. l believe tiat the
man who is to represent this great
district in congress ought, as far as
possible, to be personally acquainted
with the people of the district in
order that he may know their posi-
tion on public questions. These, to-
gether with other reasons which L
may later make public, l deem suffi-
cient to authorize me to withdraw
from the race.
My ambition to hold the office for
which | announced was founded Sole
ly upon the belief that | could be OF
real service to the common people OF
my district; and my sole regret now
upon retiring from tne race, is that
my personal interests, and the inter-
ests of those with whom | am con-
nected, are such as to preclude the
possibility of my rendering this SER
vice which | so much desire to per-
form.
have the kindest feelings toward
my two opponents, and l extend to
them my sincere thanks for the many
courtesies which each of them ex-
tended to me during my campaign
My heart is filled with gratitude to-
ward those who publicly promoted my
candidacy, and especially to JHe more
than three thousand voters through
out the district who took the trou-
BILE to write me personal letters as
suring me of their support. | assure
each and every one Of them that II
the opportunity is ever presented it
will afford me great pleasure to be
of assistance to them, either in pub
lie or private life.
do not feel that the time and
money expended in my campaign is
lost. On the contrary l feel that
the new friends that 1 have made,
and the new attachments l have form
ed far more than repay me. 1 kno"
that the friendship of many of these
will endure as long as l shall live. 1t
has teen real pleasure for me to
meet the people of this district and
TO discuss with them questions which

pie
With best wishes to all, I anu hum

New York, May 31.--New York city
faces today a possible strike of every

Two thousand walters from a dozen
famous hotels and restaurants are
now on strike and unless they win
Cnelr ngnt for hIgner wages, shorter
hours and recognition of their union,
within tWenuy-tour hours, their ieaG-
- nave promised to order 2 general
walkout. This order, according to
r4Gw ara BlOchIinger, financial Secre-

Ut restaurants and quick lunch estab-

Approximately 1000 negroes are in
readiness to be brought into the city

strike, the principal hotel managers
say. The negroes have been recruited,

The above received by The News
from Douglas yesterday; will come
probably as a surprise in this city
1t was generally believed here that,
in the withdrawal of Colonel Hender-
son that the field would be left to
Judge Parker and Colonel Walker, but
the situation presents a new aspect
with the entry of Judge Quincy and
politicians who have been watching
the progress of the race, are free to
admit that the Douglas man will
somewhat muddy the waters
Judge Quincy has been a strong
supporter of Colonel Henderson and
it is more than probable that ne will
now receive the support of the for
mer Ocilla candidate and many OF
his friends. In Coffee county, all
along, it has been reported that the
race was close between the candf-
dates, but with the entrance of Judge
Quincy it is probable that the county
will give him majority. In other
counties he is popular and will nc
doubt develop considerable strength
which, with three candidates in the
race, will somewhat complex the sit.

Follow Out Strike Order.

"Only last Saturday" he said, Il
granted demands that increased my
payroll $4,000 a year, and my wait
ers promised they would stay. YET
here they are, without any warning,
leaving me in the Iurch."
He declared vehemently that their
treatment of him was an outrage, but
acknowledged that he would be glad
to have some of them back again.
In each instance when asked their
reason for striking the walters and
cooks refused to submit any griev-
ances, declaring that they had been
ordered out by the union and that
the union officials would discuss any
Hoposition their employers had to
,&ake.

Awaiting More Negroes.

Fred Sherry, the proprietor, said
that he had employed sufficient
number of strikebreakers to Keep all
the Plaza dining rooms open until the
negro walters reach here.
William Muschenheim, proprietor OF
the Astor, had expected the strike,
and when the 300 employees left the
hotel, $50 strikebreakers were march
ed nto the dining rooms.
Police reserves and private detec-
tives were on guard at all hotels last
night. The strikers left the hotels in
an orderly manner.
Several members of the Hotel Mems
association, however, expressed the
opinion that while il would be pos
sible to use these trained walters
from the high class hotels in the
South, it was unlikely that the white
walters would be generally replaced
by negroes.
Louis Martin was the angriest man
in New York when his $50 walters
and cooks walked out, leaving his
dining room filled with 300 angry pa
irons.
