STRIKE OVER
ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 1. — The
milk strike in upper New York is
being settled in an apparent satis
factory manner as milk deliveries 1
have been resumed. About 300 ar- 1
rests were made during the w'hile ]
the strike was in progress. !
CUBAN TROUBLE
STILL REMAINS
TO BE SETTLED
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. —Wor
ried by the Cuban situation Presi
dent Roosevelt today awaited reac
tion to his sharply worded pro
nouncement to the effect the Pre
sident Machado must restore peace
or resign.
It was not officially stated but
the American ultimatum asked for
Machado’s decision by today noon.
Rumor said that the United
States was ready to make armed
intervention unless Machado ob
served the American ultimatum and
attempted to do all he could to
straighten out the Cuban crisis. It;
was pointed out that the United
States had 2,000 marines waiting;
at Quantico, Virginia, waiting to
be rushed to Cuba. The State De-;
partment, however, discredited the j
rumor that the marines were ready j
to rush to Cuba to take care of thei
emergency there by saying that the
“marines are always ready.”
Cuba continued to be ruled un
der a state of war. Armed soldiers
paraded the streets and at vantage
points other soldiers were on duty, j
Disturbers were continually arrest
ed and an American girl was ar
rested by the Havana police. The;
charge against her has not been
revealed.
The food shortage is becoming;
more acute with the passing of each;
day. Meagre food stocks are being
rapidly depleted and the strike
has paralyzed all the industries;
and transportation agencies that
could relieve the situation.
President Roosevelt was cheered;
in Washington for his mediatory
attitude by Congressman Hamilton j
Fish of New York. The President
had told Machado and other Cub-!
an politicians to forget politics and
help the country get back to normal
by taking care of the food shortage;
and solving the starvation threat.
President Machado has declared
that he will resign if the Liberal
party of Cuba requests him to do
so. However, since Machado is a
member of the party and the party
has pledged its support of Machado;
it is very unlikely that he will be i
asked to resign by that group.
Members of the executive com
mittee of President Machado’s own
party said that the government of
Cuba had submitted to the United;
States Ambassador Welles, a coun
ter proposal whereby President Ma
chado would surrender his office'
b General Alberto Herrera, the pre-l
sent Secretary of War of Cuba. j
The Liberal party members stat
ed they were making this proposal
as they did not wish to give up their
control of Cuba until they have a
period of reconstruction.

HEAVY RAINS
DELAY WORK
ON HIGH GRADE
The steady rains of the past 10
days brought down a small slide
; at the portal of the Elizabeth gold
mine, where the recent rich strike
was made at Moose Pass, temporar
ily halting actual milling. A small
crew is now engaged in clearing
away the slide after which two ad
ditional sets of timbers will be
placed. This will eliminate a repe
tition of such a delay. *
In the first test run of 200
pounds of ore, slightly better than,
average ore, approximately two
ounces of gold were recovered. The
mill, however, is inadequate for
large operations but sufficient for
high grade. The vein is now cover
ed by tiie- slide.
A new cabin has been erected,
near Frank Kielo’s, at Slate Creek,
and is nearly completed. A switch
back trail, a cut-off to the mill site
from the mountain trail, has been
completed.
In the interim. Anderson and
Jessen. who have taken over the
Gilpatrick-Hielo five claims are
awaiting business developments
from five prominent sources, repre
sentatives of which some are- now
en route for a personal examina
tion. Every indication points to
disposing of seme of the property
to people with capital sufficient to
conduct operations on a large scale.
