sTRIKEBREAKERs SERVE
 DINNER AT WALDORF.
Walters and Cooks at Four New York
 Hotels Join Strike.

New York. May 2s.-The first seri- ouB strike which New York hotels have experienced ocurred tonight when the walters walked out of the Waldorf Astoria, the Gotham, the Brealin and Rector's, in the midst of the evening dinner hours. leaving hundreds of hungry patrons in the lurch. ADprox- imately 500 walters and cooks from these four well. known hotels went simultaneously on strike and. with those who had joined previous strikes at the Belmont, the KnickerOocser and Churclnlls, make a total of over l.109 who have actively participated in the fight for higher wages and better working conditions.
 The hotel managements. as repre- scented by the Hotel association. had practically surrendered to most Of these demands before tonigiEt's strikes began, but without recognition Of the new International Hotel Worksrg union, which claims to have enlisted a membership of 12,000 hotel employees here during the past few weeks. The strikes were in demand for recoGni- tion of the union as well as for the increased wages.
 Manned by a skeleton crew, the Wal dorf managed tonight to serve most of its patrons, but not without deiayss confusion and general embarrassment. It was estimated that 1.500 wouid-Da diners were at tables in the various rooms there when the strike was call- ed by the prearranged signal of wfis- ties. Between 400 and 500 men walk ed out without disorder. leaving pa irons astounded; but the management had made preparations for the ener- gency, and promptly marched Into tne main dining rooms 1b0 strikebrenkern who had been lodged at the hotel Tor week. The kitchen, which had guf- fered the loss of nearly 100 cooks. was manned with a sufficient u1noer Of substitutes to supply current demands.

The Gotham, the Bren- lin and Rector's managements tooE similar precautions SO far as pofcs protection went, but they had no strikebreakers ready for tho ernerBen- cy and hundreds of guests were left dinnerless.

ROBBERY AND THUNDER.
Criminal Characters Taking Advantage
 of the Situation in Cuba.

Washington. May 29-Desultory and destructive guerilla warfare ls ex- pected to follow the mobilization 0f Cuban government troops In GuaDta- namo where the negro revolt is str0ng@ est according to meagre advices re- ceived at the state department today.
 American consular officers in the dis- affected district expressed the opinion that the evident determination of ths rebels to avoid a pitched battle would force an extended campaign before ths government troops can accomplish definite results. Today's despatches though they show the situation ls un- changed, indicate that serious damage to foreign property may be expected. The insurrectos are reported to have broken up into small, rapidly moving bands, conducting raids of destruction.
 The situation is beginning to re- semble that existing in Mexico in the early stages of the revolution ln that the criminal characters who are found in every community are beginning to take advantage of the disturbed con- ditions 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 in a pitched battle- Therefore the government leaders iu- stead of attempting to surround the rebels are dividing their forces into small units to guard foreign properties. Evidence of this purpose appeared to- day when forty rural guardsmen were ordered to proceed Co Daiduiri to pro- tect the property of the Spanish- American Iron company.

UNTERMYER STILL
 FIGHTING TRANSFER.
Wants New Haven to Buy Minority
 Stock of Rutland Road.

New York, May 29-The report of the railroad commission which was ap- pointed by President Taft and recom- mended that any company purchasing the majority of the stock of any exist ing road should be required to pur- chase the minority stock at the aver age price paid for the majority stock, was quoted for the. first time in court today when Samuel Unternyer argued in the supreme court in behalf of minority stockholders of the Rutland Railroad company.
 Mir Untermyer is seeking an in- junction to- restrain the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad from obtaining a controlling interest in the Rutland railroad, about 47,O00 shares, unless it also makes an offer for the 2S,000 additional shares at the same price of S105 a share. The pith of Mir. Untermyer's argument was that no one share of the stock of a corpora tion is worth more than any other share of stock of the same corporation. He also contended that when a rail- road property is taken over by an other railroad, the whole property of the purchased road must be taken by the purchasing road.

We're passing Father Abraham, million souls We're on the march, with cadenced step to join those
 gone before As year by year the time goes by ranks growing
 thin; The annual muster shows mounds for flowers
 bring in The march, the bvouac and the fight are past and gone for aye, And only memories now left to form the tie Twixt those who stumbled here below and those who walk above, Where earthly trials forgot and all that's left love- But we've the consolation to know that not in vain Was horrid war whose wrnkled front fraught with
 death and pain. The seed then upon the fields enriched with noble Has bossomed into fruitful peace for mankinds high
 est good Our work is done; but still remains as noble work to
 do The freedom of the nation from the chains which bind Chains wrought from sinful greed to hamper honest worth, And take from men the fruits of life assured them by
 their birth. When brutish arrogance of wealth and insoIence of
 power No longer OCT the nation brood and darken every hour Then will glorious country stand the nation of the
 free The land of perfect freedom and the home of liberty
