STRIKE OF CURAS. Havana, Nov. 15. A general strike among the cigarmakers and tobacco workers is about to be declared against the Havana Commercial Company, which is the Havana arm of the Tobacco Trust. The workmen in twelve factories walked out recently and the committee of workmen announced that the strike would be made general. The cause of this movement is the refusal of a demand that the companies employ young Cubans as helpers in the various departments.

The walls were colonial rampartc —logs of jarrah spiked into Jmasonry—with wings as strong as church buttresses. Once in his stride a horse had to jump or fall. He couldn’t run out. In the Maribyrnong Plate 12 horses rvere jammed at the-second wall. Red Hat, leading, fell this side, and threw out The Gled, and the ruck came up behind, spd the space between wing and wiDg was one struggling, screaming, kicking [shambles. Four jockeys were taken out ’dead; three were badly hurt, and Brunt was among the three, lie told the story of the Maribyrnong Plate sometimes i ’ and when he described how Whalley, on Rea Hat gay—as the mare fell under him —‘ God ha’ mercy, I’m done for !' and how, nest- instant, Sithee There and White Otter had crushed the life out of poor Whalley, and the dust hid a small hell of men and horses, no one marvelled that Brunt had dropped jump-races and Australia altogether.” And the Maribyrnong Plate is a Sve furlong race for two-year.olds,
