Washington, May 29. - Desultory and destructive guerilla warfare is ex- pected to follow the mobilization of Cuban government troops in Guantan amo, where the negro revolt is strong est, according to meager adviees re- ceived at the state department to- day
 American consular officers in the disaffected district expressed the opinion that the evident determination of the rebels to avoid a pitched bat tie would force an extended campaign before the government troops can ac- complish definite results. Today's dispatches. while showing the situa- ton unchanged indicate serious dam age to foreign property may be ex- pected The insurrectos are reported to have broken up into small. rapidly moving bands, conducting raids.
 The situation is beginning to reseni- ble that existing in Mexico in the ear ly stages of the revolution in that the criminal characters, who are found in every community, are beginning to take advantage of the disturbed con- ditiuns for organized robbery and plunder. As for the real rebels, the government military leaders appear to have reached the conclusion that they will not stand up for pitched bat tie. Therefore the government lead CTS instead of attempting to surround the rebels. are dividing their forces into small units to guard foreign prop erty.

 M. E. CONFERENCE
NEGROES OBJECT TO BISHOP OF RACE CLAUSE OF THE CHURCH
 CONSTITUTION.

Minneapolis, Minn., May 29.-With the pronouncing of the benediction shortly after o'clock by the vener- able bishop, Henry R. Warren, the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church closed.
 During todays session, measure aft CT measure was rushed through. the one question which caused a delay at the session last night--that refer ring to revision of the church rit- ual-being sidestepped, the confer ence authorizing commission, which will prepare a report to be presented to the 191e general conference.
 The conferences last act was one which was considered by the delegates as one of the most important matters of legislation before the 1912 gath ering the approval of the amendment to the constitution of the bishop of race clause. The clause was favored by the episcopacy committee and after lengthy debate, participated in prin- cipally by the negro delegates of the South, was adopted 1t was decided to refer the question for approval to the annual and lay conferences of the next four years, and to bring it up at the 1916 general conference for final action
 Opposition to the amendment de- yeloped among some of the negro delegates. who declared that such ac- tion might be construed as race dis crimination, J. Harvey Smith of Jack sonville, Fla, advising against permit ting the chance of selection of a Jim Crow bishop. It was explained how ever that the amendment to the con stitution was not intended especially for the negroes of the South but also for the natives of Japan, China, India and other countries.
 Prior to the final roll call today the nominations of the 15 conference dis tricts for places on the committee of the church will have charge of much of the work in the next four years and other committee nominations were ap- proved.

GUESTS ARE
 LEFT HUNGRY
TWELVE HUNDRED NEW YORK HOTEL WATERS STRIKE AT
 THE DINNER HOUR.
Four Big Hotels and Many Resta. urants Left in Lurch--Walters De- mand Recognition of Their
 New Union.

New York, May 29.-The first SC. rious strike New York hotels have ex perienced occurred tonight when the walters walked out of the Waldorf Astoria, the Gotham, the Breslin and Rectors, in the midst of the eveninl dinner hours, leaving hundreds oi hungry patrons in the lurch. Approx imately 800 walters and cooks from these four well known hotels simul- taneously went on strike, and with those who had joined previous strik- es at the Belmont, the Knickerbock- CT and Cnurchill's, make a total of over l,200, who have actively partici- pated in the fight for higher wages and better working conditions.
 The hotel arrangements as repre- sented by the Hotel Mems Associa tion. practically had surrendered to most of the demands of their em- ployes before tonights strike began but without recognition of the new International Hotel Workers Union, which claims to have enlisted mem bership of 12,000 hotel employees here during the last few weeks. The strik- CTS demand recognition of their un- ion and increased wages
 Manned by skeleton crew the Waldorf tonight managed to serve most of it's patrons but not without delays, confusion and general embar- rassment. It was estimated that .000 would-be diners were at tables in the various rooms there when the strike vas called by a pre- arranged whistle at al lot. walked out without disorder, leaving patrons astounded, but the manage. ment had taken precautions for the emergency and promptly marched into the main dining room 150 strilxebreak- CTS who had been lodged at the hotel for q week. The kitchen which had suffered the loss of nearly 100 cooks was manned with sufficient number of substitutes to supply current de- mands. The strain was lessened by the departure of numbers of guests for other dining places,
 Extra forces of detectives and police were stationed about the hotel and prevented serious disturbances.
 The Gotham, the Breslin and Rec tors managements took similar pre- cautions so far as police protection went, but they had no strikebreakers ready for the emergency and hun dreds of guests were left dinnerless. Churchill's restaurant gave in to the strikers and all have returned there, while the strike at the Belmont was sporadic and small. and comparative ly little inconvenience was caused
 At it's meeting the Hotel Mems As- sociation unanimously voted to in. crease the wages of all employees 20 per cent and upwards, to abolish fines and make other improvements in working conditions but it was em- ohasized that the action was taken irrespective of strikes and without recognition of the union.

TOM WATSON
 IS DEFEATED
LOST CONTROL OF. GEORGIA CON- MENTION BUT IS NAMED AS
 A DELEGATE.
Delegates Hiss and Hoot fiim and Finally Drown Ills voice--Near Fist Fight Is Precipitated
 on the Floor.

Atlanta. Ga. May 29.-Tom Watson lost his fight to control the demo- cratic state convention here today but 1 he won place on the Baltimore dele gation. Even this victory is doubtful one, as the Georgia delegation goes Go the national convention bound by the unit rule and controlled by men who are Watson's avowed enemies
 Though baked at every turn, wat son tried valiantly to break the power of the so-called firing Watson was spelling for a fight while the leaders were bent on having harmony even if they had to use a bludgeon on Watson to get 1t. He, however, was made q delegate at large in recognition of his services in behalf of Oscar w Under woods candidacy, but he wes denied voice in the naming of his fellow delegates
 Watson was not treated very ceur- teously by the convention. When he trieI to speak in opposition to the election of delegates at large by ac- clamation. he was hissed and jeered at from pit to gallery.
 You can't hiss and hoot me down!. he defied his opponents. But they did. Watson giving up the struggle after drowning his voice in the tnmult for about IS minutes.
 The episode furnished one dramatic moment-a moment when the expect ed clash between Watson and Thomas B. Feller appeared imminent
 You can't make oil and water mix" shouted Watson. Let us haye a separate vote on the delegates. I don't want to have 10 serve with a man who said he was going to skin me like an eel Let Watsens friends vote for Watson and Felder's friends vote for Fielder"
 Fielder, white with rage. rose in hig place among ttss Fulton ennntv dele. gation and shook his fist across the footlights af Watson. Friends drag ged him back and kept him silent. al. though 1t is doubtful if the crowd would have remained silent long enough to permit the two men to ex- change compliments.
 Tine convention wasted little more time In talk but proceeded to elect by exclamation the eight men agreed upon by the leaders. Watson retired and was seen no more on the plat form. The delegates at large selected were
 Thomas 1c Watson, Of McDuffie. Thomas E. Fielder. Fulton; H. r. Dean of Hall; Randolph Anderson. of Chatham; Crawford w. Wheatley, of Sumpter; G. R. Hutchens, of Floyd; c R Pendleton, of Bibb, and Con gressman W. q. Brantiey.
 Each of the 12 districts held eau ctgses and selected four delegates. Thus the convention sends to Balti- more 56 delegates with half vote each. No alteruates have been named
 The resolutions adopted strongly indorse Oscar w. Underwood for pres ident and instruct the states deles tion to vote for him until his nomi- nation shall be secured
 Tho resolutions committee stil was in session with a large number of resolutions proposed by Watson be- fore 1t, when the convention al journed.
