THE HAWAIIAN TREATY JOB.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Sam Woods,
whose name has been mentioned as au.
thority for the rumors that three hun
dred Thousand dollars had been disbursed
to procure the passage of the Hawaiian
treaty bill, testified before the committee
on ways and means to-day, that he had

been unprofsssional in him to say So
CAPTAIN GREENS STATEMENT IN HIS
OWN BEHALF.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Captain A.
P. Green to-day came before the COM
mites on expenditures in the war de-
pArtment and made statement design
ed to correct the impression given out
by certain psrsoDs that he was an habit.
ual drunkard and a man who could be
used by bad men. He denied that he had
ever been o dlunkard, but he admitted
that he had been dismissed from the
army for having committed himself
while under the infiu snee of either drink
or drugs, or while temporarily insane;
but charged that his condition at the
time arose from the persecution hs had
endured for two years from
his superior officers because he
refused to degrade an enlisted mau
against whom the officers had pique,
and also of the general unfairness and
hostility of West Point men toward all
officers appointed from civil life. He
further appeals to the committee to say
whether his conduct or his appearance
indicated that he was drunk or was
man who could be used by anybody.
Mr.. Clymer, chairman, said that dur
ing Greene's presence in Washington in
connection with this matter, he had an
opportunity of becoming acquainted
with his character and had formed the
opinion that he was an honorable, con.
scientious gentleman, and there wss
nothing in his conduct or character to
detract from the high reputation he had
earned in the army. The committee
then adjourned.
