6 ill CUSH CM SMPMLEH Blanco is Faced With a'Situ ation of the Most Ex treme Difficult'/. STRIKD 01 IN HAVANA Among the Workmen in the Arsenal —Blanco’s Demand on a Bank* k er Complied With. By Associated Frees. Havana,via Key West, Oct. O.Six hun dred men, machinists, blacksmiths, skilled workmen and laborers, have gone on a ♦strike at the Havana arsenal, refusing to work unless they are paid five months ar rears of wages. The strike began on Mon day and no settlement has yet been made. The Spanish cruiser Conde de Venadite, gunboat Galicia and the torpedo boat Neuva Espana are an the stocks at the navy yard undergoing elaborate repairs, preparatory to their trip to Spain. The arsenal strike is liable to delay the evacu ation so far as the navy is concerned un less the differences are soon settled, as the vessels in their present condition are quite ■unequal to a sea voyage at this time of the year. The Spanish authorities continue to de clare their inability to entirely evacute the island before the end of February. The Washington government, through the American cominhoioners, continues to in sist upon prompt evacuation. The 1 Span iards say also as a reason for delay that in addition to a lack of vessels a large proportion of their soldiers are too weak and ill to undertake the voyage at the winter season. Gen Bianco is beset on all sides with grave problems requiring a cash solution. Unfortunatelyy the 'Madrid government is unprepared to meet them and the captain general is thus placed in a very delicate position. On the one hand is the navev yard strike, on the other are the troops, clamoring for back pay. Last week Gen. Blanco issued orders disbanding all the pro-, sional regiments in certain places, as. for instance at 'Sancti Spiritus. The troops refused to disband first unless they received their arrears of pay. Many of them went over to the 'Cuban ranks. A trip to Cienfuegos of Gen Selano, Gen. Blanco’s chief of staff, is understood to be due to the seriousness of the situation. Exactly what reasons rendered the meas necessary have not been developed, but Gen. Blanco revoked the disbanding order. s‘t has leaked out that in his extremity Gen Blanco summoned the governor of the Banco Espanol and called upon him for an advance of money. The Banco official at first refused, but finally yielded to Blanco’s appeal, and agreed to advance 5200.000. is weakness is seriously con demned. many of the depositors threaten ing to withdraw their deposits. The commercial condition of the island, instead of improving, seems to be at a complete standstill. The undisguised cor ruption in every branch of the adminis tration fills all minds with distrust. There are other ominous clouds on the horizen that indicate early trouble with the Cu bans. who are openly proclaiming their readiness to fight to the last drop of blood for absolute independence. Promi nent chiefs in the insurgent army ’have in dicated their intention as soon as *h«» forthcoming elections are over to come to Havana and work strenously in behalf of independence. In this they are supported by the laboring classes or pa.eificos not •identified with the last uprising, three fifths of whom it may be safely estimated profess their intention of joining 'he in surgent ranks in the struggle for inde pendence and to fight the Americans if the latter in any wav oppose absolute free dom for the island. Deafness Cm Tie Cured. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result and unless the infiamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness( caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars. Free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo. O.
