STILL GAIN,
SAY WATERS

NEW YORK, June 1.-The strike Of
1900 or more waters, affecting twenty
nine hotels, restaurants and clubs,
threatens to spread further today, as tie
strike leaders say that before nghtfall
employees in other hotels viii be called
ont The kitchen crews In some OF the
hotels also have quit work.
The hotel men say today that rather
than recognize the walters union they
will close their establishments.
Lenders of tho striking walters say the
engineers, fremen and other hotel en-
ployees may be called out. Places Of the
strikers are being filled by strikebreakers
from other cities aud although the strike
is causing the hotel owners great ineon-
venience, they say they arc able to take
care of their regular patrons.
More than thousand negro walters
are waiting TO be called into service
from the South, but whether they win be
sent for has not been determined. Two
hotels already have filed the strikers
places with negroes, but the hotel men
say they do not think the strike will last
long, as the walters are financially .un-
able to remain out of work There has
been virtually no violence during the
strike.
Patrons to the number of $50 or more
of certain uptown hotels have made up
an informal league, and hereafter will
limit the size of tips TO 10 per cent. of
the bill.

NOT
YET LANDED

WASHINGTON, June No marines
have yet been landed at Daiprirl, ac-
cording to early reports received today
at the state department. 1t is pointed
out, however. that Commander Mitchell,
of the gunboat Padueah, which is
standing off there, is acting under or
ders to land a force whenever II becomes
necessary to protect American life
and property, and he is free to act on
his own discretion. Last reports were
that the Spanish-American Iron Com
pany's plant there, which was threat.
ened by the rebels. has been success
fully defended by company employees
and there was no need of the marines.
With an American gnnboat stationed
on each side of the eastern end of
Cuba prepared to land forces at mo-
ments notice, and ready to hasten to
the nearest point where foreign inter-
ests may be threatened by the insur-
rectionists in Oriente, 1t is believed here
that there is now not so much danger
OF molestatlon of American-owned plan
tations and mining properties.

changes.
The suggestions made by the commits.

Morris canal are as follows;
The canal is not now used efficiently
and the space occupied by it, together
With what might be glvens ,ar te. street
purposes over the present canal bed

the canal bed might be used for freight

Above High street boulevard could
be constructed, especially leading TO aud
