! LONDON, Oct 2S-Nllitary circles and
the public in general were startled to-day
| by publication in the columns of Truth OF
| the details of another mutiuous outbreak
upon the par. of the Grcnadicr guards who
are now stationed at Windsor Castle. Ac-
| cording to Truth this mutiny, while not an
| event of first magnitude. is still very seri i
| Gus. 1t Is safe to add that all military men
| look upon the event as being of L most de-
| cidedly serious nature in view of the three
| previous acts of mutiuy in which the Gren-
| adler and Cold Stream guards have been
| implicated within about 4 year and Il half.
| This second mutiny of the same battalion
| within about six months had its origin in
| feeling permeating the corps of the British
| army on account of insufficient and uupala-
table rations which the men claimed were
served to them for their meals.
On Wednesday, October IA, these ratious
| they claim. were especially bad. ana caused
| the Smoulderiug feeling OF Observation-Disclosures
10 break out into flame. Upon the arrival
| at the guards barracks at Windsor, the of
| ticer of the day, Lieut.. y. Cotton. part II
| whose duty il is 10 pass through the differ
| ent meSS-rOom at meal times, in order 10
listen 70 all such complaints, the privates
of No. l company, as previously agreed
| upon, made formal complaint about tine
| quality and quantity of food served out to
| them. Lieut.. Cotton examined the food
complained OF and then said the
| food was good and ordered the grena-
| diers to eat it, but to the dismay of the Of
ticer of the day, the grenadiers of company
| No. went to the windows of the ness
room and hurled the unsatisfactory rations
into the barracks square. The officer of
the day, is in duty bound, reported the Oc-
currence to the commanding officer. Con-
Sequently the commanding officer ordered
|
racks for a day, and placed the cOrporals of
the same company under arrest pending in
garry into the mutinOus conduct OF the
privates.
The inquiry made as TO the outbreak
showed that the grenadiers had, upon
previous occasion, complained of the quality
OF the bread served out 20 them, and that
the business of their compleint not being
admitted, they threw the bread out of the
barracks windows into the square. The
adjutant OF the Third battalion declared
that he was not aware that the men had
acted in the manner mentioned, adding that
ne was wholly ignorant of the entire incl
dent and that he had not received any re-
port upon the subject. Thereupon Truth
says: THE evidence of a undred wit
nesseS can prove these facts. If such an
outbreak and its consequent arrests are
possible without the colonel or adjutant
knowing OF them, the worst said about the
not far short of the truth
Officers of the guards admit that there
was row but they refuse to give particu-
lars, declaring that the trouble was of
trivial nature.
Can such Things BE?
DUBLIN, Oct. 2S.-Some startling testi-
mony was given to-day at the trial of Rev.
Samuel Cotton. rector at Carnough, county
Kildare, who was charged with criminal
in the Carnough schools. Rev. Samuel
Cotton, who has conducted the affairs of
the orphanage for many years, has made
many appeals to the public for financial aid
and has received large sums of money by
subscription for the maintenance of the
home. Owing to numerous complaints
which have been made against that institu-
ton the Society for the Protection Of Chill
dren recently made an Investigation into
the manner in which the Orphanage was
conducted and thereby horrible. state OF
affairs was revealed. The agents of the
Children's society during their investiga-
ton found that the children of the orphan
age were in an emaciated filthy and ragged
condition and that they We're covered with
parasites. The toes of one of the children,
it was testified to, had rotted off. Another
girl had been chained by her legs to log.
The rooms of the orphanage were also
found to be in the filthiest possible condi-
ton.
In the kitchen of the orphanage was
found baby six weeks old, covered with
dirty rags and dying of cold and inatten-
ton. Other children were found in the
same apartment crouched around small
fire, almost frozen and half starved. All Of
them were weak and sickly, and their
growth has been stunted by the treatment
received under Rev Mr.. Cotton's manage
ment. The sanitary condition of the whole
establishment was found TO be perfectly
horrible. The walls and floors were in I
beastly condition, and some of the beds
used by the unfortunate children were
merely boxes ana packing cases filed with
stale hay. 1t was found that the children
were kept in a state of terror by the Rev.
Mr.. Cotton, and that it would be difficult 20
imagine a more deplorable or blamable
state OF things. Rev. Mr.. Cotton was COM
mitJed for trial, bail, however, being
allowed in order to enable MIN to attend
the synod of which ne is a member.
