The six men on board suffered no hardship. The Dover, wooden steamer null, which was built for the shipping board, was on her way to Providence to be made into a barge.

TELEPHONE STRIKE
 BECOMES VIOLENT
Portugal Has Added Troubles - Bombs Play Important Part
 in Agitation.

Lisbon, Feb. 19, (By Mail to Paris, Feb. 27.)-Violence marks the strike of telephone employees which has been in progress here for the last seven weeks. A dynamite bomb ex- ploded yesterday outside the house of MT. Frazer, one of the mana ging di- rectors of the telephone company, while another damaged the residence of another director of the company.
 The situation is complicated by strike of employees of boot and shoe stores. Two bombs were thrown yes terday at shops which have remained open because their men are not striking. A pedestrian crossing the street near the scene of one eXplo- sion was killed. and large plate glass window was shattered. Bombs have also exploded in other parts of the city.
 There seems to be small hope of an inm ediate settlement of the tel ephone strike. The English company owning the system has agreed to grant all demands of the strikers eN- cept full pay during the time the employes have been idle. The latter declare they will not resume work unless this has been granted.
