of Yesterdays Meeting.

Lowell Mass, June 3.-There was no
general strike of the mill workers OF
Lowell this morning. The central cqm'
mittee OF the Industrial Workers of the
World, to whom authority to call such
strike was given by the various ma.
tionalities, met yesterday and voted 10
postpone action.
In a lengthy statement, issued after
the meeting. the central committee out
lines what are claimed as concessions
on the part of the Merrimac Mill COM
pany, and continues:
with this assurance we deem it adj
yisable to delay the date of calling a
general strike pending the outcome OF
the adiustment with the Merrimaek Mill
company. We advise that the strike
now on at the Merrimac mill be de-
clared off. since the company has de-
elared off the lockout, with the under
standing that the central committee may
at any time, and at a moments notice.
call general strike in all OF the mills
as directed by vote of the mill workerS
in Lowell.
The committee announced last night
that the Merrimac company had agreed
to take back as many of the strikers
a there are places Tor them, Withous
discrimination. and that other mill own
crs had agreed to giye,work to the strik-
ers as far as possible. No mention is
made OF the Misunderstanding over the
payment OF overtime for noon hour work
which started the strike movement and
which was responsible for fifty opera
tives quitting work. Their number had
been gradually increased, until more
than 900 were out last week.
Members of the Board of Trade acted
al mediators in the difficulty, and wul
continue their work in an effort to bring
about complete harmony. :
Leaders of the Industrial Workers of
the World claim TO have 5000 or 10000
operatives in the city enrolled as mem-
bers and ready to go on strike at order
of the central committee.

MUSICAL DIRECTOR OUT.
He Has Different Story to Tell of "Gay
Musician" Troubles.

Burlington, June 3.-Gustav Hemple,
the musical director of "The Gay Musi-
elan" company, who was arrested for not
delivering the keys of the music trunk
at liberty and will leave to-day for his
home in New York City. Mr.. Hemple
relates different story from that fur
nished by the manager of the company,
and says that he left the company be-
cause it was impossible to collect the sal
ary due him. In substantiation OF tins
statement. he has caused the box office
receipts of the show in Barre, where 1t
played Friday night, to be attached and
his claims will be heard at a hearing to
come off in a few days.
According to the story of Mr.. Hemple
the show is leading hand to mouth
existence and dependent upon its daily
receipts with which to pay its hotel
bills. Instead Of being drunk in Platts-
burg, the musical director claims that he
only made an attempt to get the money
due him. hence the row with the man
ager, NJ. J. Kavanaugh.
Hemple further states that at no time
was he loath to give up the keys of the
music trunk had he been asked for them
but that he was put in jail purely from
motives OF revenge. He says that what
the manager really wanted was score
written by Hemple for his own use and
his own property, This he refused to
give up. Hemple paid the costs connect
ed with the serving of the warrant on
himself and Of his imprisonment,
amounting to trine less than $500, be-
fore his release.

CUBAN INSURGENTS
BURNED A TOWN
Lamaya, Located Thirty Miles From
Santiago, Destroyed, According to
Evidence Given Out by
the Federals.

Havana. June 3.-General Estenoz, the
real leader of the negro insurgents, has
captured and burned the town OF La
naya. 80 miles from Santiago. The gss
eminent gave out this information last
night
A column of regulars, commanded by
Major Sanguily had occupied Lamaya
for the last two days, but sailed forth
Saturday evening in search Of insur-
gents. Hardly had the regulars left
when Estenoz, with 500 men, attacked
tie handful of rurales. Citizens at
tempted to oppose the insurgents, but
we're compelled to- retreat, losing several
wounded. Estenoz then entered the
town. which he burned and sacked.
The flames were seen by Major San
cuilv's command. which FASTENED back,
hut found the town destroyed. The in
surgents retired into the hills. Lamaya
was small place, composed OF about
10 houses. the inhabitants OF which were
mostly negroes.
Encounters between the regulars and
the rebels are reported to have taken
place near Daiquiri, and at other places,
without decisive results. The general
forward movement of the Cuban troops
apparently is still deferred. pending COM
pietion OF the disposition of the troops
ordered BY General Monteagudo.
Reports from the scene of hostilities
say that the rebel leaders continue TO
exact contributions of arms and money
from the property owners, who are most
" foreigners, under threat OF applying
the torch. The government is making
strong efforts to supply plantation
guards. but seemingly lacks sufficient
men without depicting the ranks Of the
troops in active service. General Mon
teagudo, in a statement to the govern
ment. SAYS that within very short
time he expects to deliver crushing
blow. and adds that he does not need
further reinforcements.
The government received a despatch
lust night from San Luis stating that
negroes attacked a hamlet near that
place. outraged three white women and
looted the stores. This apparently is
within the lines Of the regular troops.
Rumors with vague basis continue
to be circulated of an uprising in Ha-
vana province. II is alleged that hard
ware dealers recently sold several thous-
and knives, daggers and machetes to
negroes. All the police and rurales in
Havana are still on reserve duty.
The report OF the capture near Dali
quiri OF the Americans, Wheeler and
Collister, proves to have been untrue

SHIP HAD MARROW ESCAPE.
The Carmania Had Fire in Her Saloon
Quarters.

Liverpool, June Sire which broke
out in the Cunard steamer Carmania,
living at her dock yesterday afternoon,
practically destroyed the vessels saloon
quarters. The damage is estimated at
many thousands of dollars. The hull
was not injured, but large quantity of
the cargo has probably been badly dam
aged by water. The origin of the fire
is not known.
The Carmania had a narrow escape
from total destruction. The flames
lowered above the bridge and smoke
poured from every aperture amidships.
Several tugs came to the assistance
OF the firemen. and so much water was
poured into the vessel that she listed
heavily and was prevented from capsiz-
ing only by the strength of her moor
ings Much apprehension was caused by
a report that the Carmania had 1000
barrels of oil aboard.

ported that many of the strikers were

The battle was precipitated by an al
legged attempt on the part OF strike
picket to prevent the return of wom-
an to her work in the mills, and before
the strikers would disperse, the police
found it necessary to draw their re-
yolvers and fire into the crowd.

There is much talk in town over the
purchase of the tale mine on ID. p. Deav-
tits farm by prominent Burlington busl-
ness men. This mine is situated on the
east side of the Deavitt farm III More
town, about two miles from this village.
Experts who were here not long ago
claim that as far as outside show goes,
this is the biggest chance Of the kind in
the United States. While the names OF
all the purchasers are not disclosed, it
is understood that Elias Lyman and Mr..
Patrick of the Blodgett company are two
of the prominent ones. The mine is now
in the hands Of active business men and
the expectation is that as soon as the
market is assured, work viii be begun.
Only samples thus far have been taken,
and great hopes for the locality are en-
tertained if plans under way become
active. Waterbury expects large share
OF benefit from the working of this
mine.
