2 HAVANA STREETS . REDDENED BY RIOT » Two Men Killed and Eighty two Wounded. A GENERAL STRIKE ISON Conflicts With Polic. —flural Guards Summoned to Concentrate in Havana --Mayor in Sympathy With Strikers —Rioters Now Under Control. (By the Associated Press.) Havana, Nov. 24.—As the result of con- j Piets of a serious nature today between j the police and the men on strike here, two strikers are dead, and eighty-two other persons are wounded. Five of the wounded, one a lieutenant of police, whose throat was cut by a striker, have very severe injuries. Eight other police men are wounded. The police have riot ers well under control this evening, but every precaution is being taken to pre vent a further outbreak c i disorder, and all the police and Rural Guards in the suburbs have been summoned to con centrate in Havana. The strike, which at first only con cerned the cigar-workers, began this morning by the calling out of all trades in sympathy with the cigar makers. All the trades people closed their doors this morning, clerks, cooks, and every class of workmen having obeyed the command of the union except the, motormen and conductors of the electric cars, who re fused to join it. the general strike. Trouble-began early by the holding up of the electric cars by strikers, whose wrath naturally was directed against the street railroad employes. Several ears j were held up and stoned in the outskirts 1 of the city, and the passengers were com pelled to walk into Havana, among these being the British and German minis ters. Several cars were wrecked and some ‘motormen and conductors were injured during these occurrences. The car men, however, continued running their cars until 10 oelock, when Superintendent j Greenwood ordered a suspension of traf- ! tic. The employes were willing to remain ! nt work, but the officers of the company, in order to protect property deemed it I wise to suspend the service. Mr. Green wood had asked for protection from the civil Governor, but the authorities were made to protect the public vehicles. A mob of strikers drove the men on the Western Railroad from the trains during the morning. The mayor of Havana and the Secre tary of Government, Diego Tamayo, had, during the past week, openly sympathized with the strikers and had given orders to the public not to use force in dispersing the crowds, and under these conditions. The police were unable to cope with the strikers. The situation was approaching a criti cal point at noon, serious disorders hav ing taken place in front of the Palace itself, in which a police officer named j Maso and a number of policemen and | strikers received injuries, when President Palma sent word to the mayor that un- ; less the city authorities could preserve j order and protect the railroad company. j the State would intervene. The mayor 1 then took drastic measures and issued ; an edict prohibiting crowds from gath ering in the streets and authorizing the ! chief of police to kill, if such action should be necessary to preserve order. A similar show of force early in the morn ing undoubtedly would have prevented the trouble, but now the strikers had be come emboldened and frequent clashes between them and the police occurred in all parts of the city. The police were obliged to charge a mob of rioters at the i Slaughter House and several among the latter were The .vigorous atti- | tude of the police now made itself felt i and traffic or. the car lines, which had j only been suspended for a brief period, i was resumed, and was continued from this time forth with only occasional in terruptions. Most of the injuries sus tained by the strikers were caused by the policemen's clubs. The Central Veterans’ Union, headed by General Qjomez, held a meeting this afternoon and sent word to the labor onions that if the disorders continued i the veterans would offer their services to President Palma to preserve order. No bread or meat was on sale today and a continuance of the strike will cause much suffering to the poor. The police fear that trouble may occur in the city tonight and a detachment of Rural Guards is expected to reach Havana at 2:30 tomorrow morning. Senor Tamayo has resigned his office j of Secretary of Government, but Presi dent Palma will not accept his resigna tion until the strike has been settled. The public blames Tamayo for his active participation in the strike and says that lie and the mayor are responsible for today's riots, as he ha(J openly expressed ( sympathy with the strikers. At a politi cal meeting on Wednesday at which Senor Tamayo was chairman, he endorsed the action of the strikers. Somehow cut-diamond rates are alway higlu r than the original prices.

TO STAMP OUT TRAIN ROB BERT Employes Given tj Understand Every Dead Robber is Worth SI,OOO. (By the Associated Press.) Chicago, Nov. 24. —Train robbery as an industry is to be throttled through concerted action of railroad and express companies operating from headepiarters scattered throughout the middle West. The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Company, in conjunction with the United States Express Company, issued a joint reward today of $5,000 for the arrest and conviction of the men who robbed their train early Saturday morn ing. In addition, the Burlington officials an nounced that a dead train robber would be worth SI,OOO to any of its employes, “We have given all our trainmen to understand.” said F. A. Delanc, general manager of the Burlington Road, and also the express messengers that a dead robber is worth SI,OOO to any of them- All of our conductors and trainmen carry revolvers and we are encouraging them to do so, and to learn to shoot straight. I am in favor of concerted ac tion on the part of the railway manage ments and express companies which shall have for its object the hounding of train robbers to the ends of the earth. Why he Appointed Byrne. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, D. C.. Nov. 24. —The fol lowing statement was given out at tbe White House this afternoon: “On his return to Washington the President found that some misapprehen sion existed as to the reappointment of the United States attorney for Delaware, and authorized the following statement regarding it: “ ‘Mr. Byrne was originally appointed United States Attorney for Delaware by President McKinley. President Roose velt knew him personally. In the opin ion of the President he had rendered ex cellent service for the public good in more than one direction, and he had been a staunch supporter of the President when he ran for governor and afterwards. He was reported by the Department of Justice as a fit and competent district attorney, and the President had entire confidence in his ability and integrity. He accepted the nomination for Con gress. Other district attorneys and mar shals had accepted such nominations without being requested to resign, but in view of the factional fight in Delaware the President thought that Mr. Byrne should resign, which he accordingly did. When the election was over the Presi dent re-appointed him, without having given him the slightest previous indica tion that such was his intention. He would have been reappointed without regard to the circumstances under which he ran, or the faction with which he w r as allied.’ ” Disastrous Biins in Texas. (By the Associated Press ) Dallas, Texas, Nov. 24. —Heavy rains fell throughout north and northeast Texas again today and as a result the situation is more serious than ever.

San Francisco, Nov. 24.--Thomas Sin clair Gore, the former husband of Mrs. Gore, who recently met with a tragic death in Paris, made a statement for publication in which he paid a high tribute to the character of his for mer wife.

The former did not hesitate to express to the President his opposition to any tariff reA'ision, either at the approaching short session of Congress or in the next ses sion of Congress.

By agreement the State hood bills will be made the unfinished business of the Senate soon after the session begins.

DOHSE, CHICAGO, ILL. j J CONDUCTRESS \ J J (President) of tHe \ / Marys of tHe Laße, Catholic Order of 10 Chestnut Place, Chicago, 111., March 12, 1902. I have for years heard good things of your Wine of Cardui, but never really knew how excellent a remedy it is, until last fall when I became sud denly chilled w'hen I was out and not clad warm enough. Unfortunately it happened at a time Avhen every woman should use extra precaution acrainst colds. As a consequence the functions of Nature stopped and although I thought little of it at the time I soon found that it was much more serious than I had anticipated. I did not seek medical assistance until over a month had passed and I had found no relief. J had terrible cramps and pains, intense backache and dizzy spells. The doctor sanl in flammation had set in and prescribed for me. But nothing seemed to help me. Reading your Almanac I soon became interested in Wine of Cardui. I then remembered hearing some of my lady friends telling how grand it was. I then dismissed my doctor and decided to try av me of Cardui. 1 took it for three weeks and to my great joy 1 found relief. the inflammation passed away. I became once more regular and suffered no more pains, Avbatever. lam sure there are hundreds of women who are daily suffering as I did, who do not know which way to turn for relief. To these I w’ould say: “Stop paying doctors’ bills and taking medicine vou know nothing of; stop letting the doctors experiment on you. Half of them don’t know’ wdiat really ails their patients. Stop wasting your strength and your money and take Wine of Cardui. After you hav r e taken one bottle of Wine of Cardui you will feel so much better and you are sure to be cured if human skill can cure. It is cheap to make the experiment any how and take my Avord for it, you will not regret it. lam glad to give vou this unsolicited testimonial, glad to do my little to sll&w my appre ciation and only hope it may be the means of advising some poor suffer ing women, and may help them from daily misery to health and happiness.

It is easy slight neglect and exposure to takfi and there is no publicity in result in serious trouble. Few women the treatment. If your case has been regard first menstrual irregularities long running and doctors cannot help serious enough to require medical you, read what Mrs. Dohse says and attention Consequently from little remember that thousands of so-called irregularities serious troubles grow, “hopeless” cases have been cured Women are usually too modest to tell by Wine of Cardui.
