THE STRIKE
WAS ILLEGAL
Chicago Newspapers Now Publishing
as Usual.
Washington, July 8. A dispatch was
received here last night from Madrid
stating that the bombardment of Santi
ago de Cuba had commenced. It stated
further that both Spaniards and Ameri
cans were fighting vigorously.
Chicago, July 6. President Prescott,
of the International Typographical
Union, who came from Indianapolis to
make an investigation, decided that the
strike of the stereotypers employed on
the Chicago newspapers was illegal and
that they should have adhered to their
contracts. As the newspaper publish
ers have agreed not to have anything to
do with the. stereotypers' anion here
after, the 200 men who etruck last Fri
day will have difficulty in finding work
in Chicago, as many non-union stereo
typers from other cities have come here
and more are said to be on the way.
Chicago, July 6. The Chicago papers
are publishing as usual today. The
striking stereotypers have all been dis
missed and their places filled by non
union men.
Advice of The Times.
London, July 7. The Times, remark
ing editorially how little disturbance
the war has caused to the interests of
neutrals, and how admirably and cour
teously it has been conducted by both
Americans and Spaniards, "eetting an
example ot hnmanity," expresses the
hope that the same spirit will be ob
served when peace is arranged, and
says:
- "There could be no more honorable
ending to a war which both sides have
waged in ways creditable to them than a
settlement which should disprove the
charge that the modern conqueror
drives a harder bargain with his toe
than was common in times when war
was less humane." '

Her Flans are Thousht to Have Been to
Blockade the Harbor.
WASHINGTON, July 7. The following tele
gram dated off Santiago, July 6tb, was received from
Admiral Sampson:
About midnight last night the dismantled
Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes was seen by the
Massachusetts, which vessel had a searchlight on the
channel, coming out of the harbor of Santiago. The
Massachusetts and Texas opened fire, and the Span
ish vessel was sunk opposite E-tivllb cove. I am
inclined to think it 'was the intention to sink her in
the channel and thus blockade the entrance. If so
the plan was defeated by the fire of Hie ships, as she
lies on the edge of the shore. ' .,
