ional Convention.
The forthcoming convention at Alton,
ILL.,, June 6, is arousing interest in the
American Flint Glass Workers Union,
Important questions affecting the work
men are scheduled for action. The strike
of the workmen against the United
States Glass Company will come up
when the reports of the officers are Of
fered and declaration of policy regard
ing the continuance of the contest is ex-
pected TO be made.
The strike has cost the association
an immense sum of money, as many of
the men who struck have not been able
70 secure employment. By some it is
expected the company will be willing
to operate under union auspices from
the beginning of the nsxt fire. Being
a Presidential election year it is thought
manufacturers at large will use their
influence TO bring the company into line
for reasons which will be more mani
fest when desired changes in the tariff
come up for consideration in Congress.

BLACK FLAG RAISED
Young Virginlan Tells His
Experience in the
Cuban Army.
AMONG THE INSURGENTS
No Persons Taken, lie Says. Be-
cause Cubans Prefer 10 Die
Rather Than Be Taken.

WASHINGTON. Dec. "a, 1ss6,-Marion
T. Perdue. a resident Of Richmond, Va.
who claims TO ave been a soldier in
Gomez's Cuban army and to have made
his way out of the island through the eff
forts Of Consul-General Lee. has been in
the city for a day or two on his way
home, where he goes to reeuperate from
wounds received in that service. He
talke freely of his experiences and OBJ
servations in the army and some of his
statements shed new light on the condi-
tions of warfare IN the island and of the
situation.
~In reading accounts of battles IN
Cuba" said the young virginian, "you
have noticed, no doubt, that the reports
read so many Cubans were killed and so
many wounded, but you rarely ever see
it stated that such a number were taken
prisoners. There are two useful rea-
sons for this. The Spaniards do not take
prisoners. They AVE practically hoisted
the black flag, and any Cuban patriot
who is unlucky enough to be taken alive
never sees the sunrise IN the following
day.
He is shot down very soon after he
is taken and his body added to the NUM-
Der of the enemy killed in battle. The
other reason Is that Cuban soldiers know
very well the fate which is in store for
them and they prefer to die lighting
rather than be assassinated in the ranks
of their foes. Many Of Gomez's and Ma
ceo's men for this reason have registered
q solemn oath not to be taken alive
The hundreds of Americans il the ranks
of the insurgents Perdue says. are rated
among the best fighters on the island.
They are mostly from the Southern and
Western States and being expert marks
men, are given Winchester repeating
rifles when possible n put forward as
sharpshooters. Many Spanish soldiers
have bit the dust owing to the unerr.ng
aim of the riaetnen hidden in the thick
cts. Other Americans are in the artillery
service n make the best of gunnners.
The dynamite cannon, which Is manned
by volunteers from the United States, is
more feared by Weylerss soldiers than
several regiments of infantry. Its work
in the hands of it's clever -nanipuiators is
aWfully destructive TO both men and
structures.
A squad of Texas cowboys in the Fourth
Brigade are armed with heavy teiescopic
rifles, which viii kill nearly two miles
away. They call themselves the Lone
star Rtfiemen,' the solitary star being the
emblem Of both Cub and Texas. One Of
the squad, named Ryan, keeps a record
OF the Spanish officers he has shot. He
claims to have tumbled nineteen already.
not to mention privates.
Perdue described a machete drill by
colored Cubans il camp. These negro
troops, he said, are desperate fighters with
that keen-edged weapon. The machete of
peace, which is used for cutting sugar
cane, is different from the machete of
war. The former has a point which is
curved backwards on the order of a
scimitar. Those employed In batte are
perfectly Straight and go Off to a point
ike an ofSeerS~sw6rd.
