General snowden on the situation at Home
stead Thinks Inms Guilty of Treason.
PHILADELPHIA. Pa, July 3o.-Msj. Gen.
George X. Snowden and number of men,
bers of his staff returned to Philadelphia
yesterday from Homestead. and unless the
situation out there reverts to q very seri-
ous and critical condition, the General will
remain here. In an interview he said:
There are few people in Philadelphia who
understand accurately the condition of of
fairs at Homestead at present or what IL
has been recently. There has been prac-
tical press cesorship out there. and the
newspaper correspondents have actually
been prevented from describing accurately
the condition of AFFAIRS"
lis the present military force at Home
stead sufficient to preserve orderf'
''UnquestionabIy. When the division
was ordered out there were prospects of
burg, Braddock and other places In that
section. These threatening signs outside
of Homestead have disappeared, and tho
regiments of the Second Brig ade are now
sufficient to attend TO the trouble In that
place.
'Do you think the .ouble is overp
by no means. The bad feeling is sup
pressed somewhat, but it still exists, and as
long as the situation remains as it Is now,
the Second Brigade will remain at Home
stead. Ii is just possible If their atay be
prolonged. other regiments from other
brigades may be called upon TO relieve
them, and the First Brigade or some of it's
regiments may be called out again.
THE strikers. such of them as are on the
ground now, for many Of them have disap-
peared, are full of threats, and it is q
common thing 10 hear men declare that as
soon as the soldiers leave they will have
the lives of any men who hold their places
in the works. Outsiders can hardly ap-
preciate the actual commnnisms of these
men. They believe that the works are
theirs quite as much as they are Carnegies
and tits obvious how this sentiment renders
settlement of the trouble difficult and
tedious. The ultimate result Will be, be-
lieve that the owners of the works will re-
gain and operate them with men of their
own choosing"
1T is reported that you may be made a
defendant In any prosecution that may be
brought in the lams affair"
$50 l have read In the newspapers. but
know nothing else about 1t. | think have
explained myself perfectly in that matter.
When the Offense of private lams was re-
ported to me | ordered that he he disgraced
and drummed ont of the regiment. Ii was
not my province. nor was IL necessary for
me to write an essay instrncting Colonel
Streator how q soldier guilty. of such q
crime should be disgraced. That matter
should be left entirely In Colonel Streator's
hands As to the nature of the punish
ment, was ignorant of it until il had been
inflicted. hut have my own opinion as to
the character of the punishment that
should be meted out 10 q soldier guilty of
treason In time of actual revolution"
