NEW ENGLAND STRIKE
TEXTILE MILL WORKERS TO
QUIT.
1t WIN he Strong Protcst Against Cut
wagcs-Nsariy 10000 Operatives In-
volved-supported by the Federation of
Labor.

Boston, Feb. 14.-At n meeting yes
terday in this city OF iifty-iive repre-
sentatives of textile unions In New
England, 1t was unanimously voted to
recommend that all unions call out the
operatives In every cotton mill In New
England.
The meeting was practically the out
come OF the recommendation which
President Gompcrs made to the FEEDER
alton of Labor last Sunday, In which
he urged the different unions to unite
on some settled policy In the mill sit
uation in New England. At that meet
Ing committee of four was appointed
to take charge of the matter and after
conference this committee recon-
mended definite action. To-day the
representatives of the various national
textile associations assembled and for
four hours discussed the situation from
every standpoint. The primary object
Of the meeting was to devise some
methods of rendering assistance to the
New Bedford strikers.
1t was pointed out that II the strikers
Mt New Bedford could hold out for four
weeks without receiving more than 20
cents per operative per week In the
way of outside assistance, other mill
operatives could stand similar strain.
and that II all went out 1t would, pre-
cipitate crisis that would hav9Ao be
met within short time by the manu-
facturers. 1t was also shown that the
mule spinncrs were in excellent con-
dition as regards funds: United Textile
Workers and the New England Fed
Grafton of Wcavcrs were also in good
shape, but that the rest were short OF
funds. The questions We're also dis
cussed and Mt length the matter was
put to vote, no one being registered
against the motion that the different
unions should order general strike in
every cotton mill in New England until
satisfactory adjustment of wages could
be arranged.
1t now remains for various national
unions to take action on the resolu-
ton, but what this action will be Is n
matter of conjecture. If all should
acquiesce and vote to strike, 1900
operatives would undoubtedly cease
work and the manufacture of cotton
goods throughout New England would
be at n standstill. If, on the other
hand, only few unions should vote to
strike, the refusal of the others would
still keep large portion of the mills In
operation.
1nasmuch. however, rs the meeting
was the outcome of President Com
pcrs' suggestion, and as he admonishcd
the members of the Federation of La
Dor to join hands and assist the New
Bedford strikers, it seems probable
that nearly every union will carry out
the recommendations and that one OF
the greatest strikes ever seen in this
country is impending.

Washington as n Dresser.

In his youth, and even during the
revolution, Washington was good
deal of a dandy. He gave his tailors
minute instructions as to the number
of button holes desired on his coat
front, and for the cutting of the waist
He had a weakness for blue and purple
broadcloth, silver and lace trimmings
and ruffied shirts. During his later
years, however, Washington dressed
more modestly, and always in good
taste. In his personal appearance he
was exceptionally clean and neat. He
is described as tall and well proper
toned and of commanding presence
His feet were unusually large. Though
he wore false teeth and his large-fea
tured face was colorless and pitted
from smallpox, he was considered
handsome. His carriage was always
dignified and graceful. Prominent
Ensiishmen, Frenchmen and Ameri-
cans of that period who saw him fire.
quently and under varying conditions,
unite in declaring his department
"easy, erect, and noble"
Washington was fond of good time
with congenial companions, as is shown
by an expense account entry in his
diary now preserved in the state de-
partment at the national capital, which
reads: "To jamboree at Charlottes-
burg, N. c., G13."

CUBAN EXPEDITION.
It Leaves Tampa Under the Nose of Span
ish Detectives.

tsh Detectives
Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 13.-A spe-
cal to the Times-Union and Citizen
from Tampa says:
Almost under the nose of Edward
Gaylor, superintendent of Pinkerton
and Spanish spies, a large Cuban eXpe-
dition left Tampa last night and to-
night, sailing from II point on Pease
river.
The men, about seventy in number.
walked through the streets of Tampa
about o'clock this morning and board
ed special train which quickly bore
them to point near where they were
to embark, and there they remained in
hiding until the night, when tug took
them out to Sic steamer which bore
them away to Cuba, Colonel Emilio
Nuncz being in charge of the steamer.
1t is said Genepal Sanguilly is the
real commander, and color Is given
this rumor by the fact that when the
men left here they were In charge of
Colonel Lechuga, who was first lieu
tenant of the personal staff selected by
Sanguilly when he failed TO get away
from Jacksonville. Superintendent
GayIor, his son and another Pinkerton
man. have been here looking for San
gully, they believing he was some
where near here. 1t Is alleged that the
Cubans have sent Sanguilly away on
his "Trip to get rid of him in the United
States. The detectives are totally ig-
norant of the departure of this eXpe-
dition.
1t Is understood that 5000 rifles, g.
600 pounds of dynamite. 100000 rounds
of cartridges and large lot of supplies
made up the cargo.

Havana, Feb. 15.-Miss Clara Barton
has given a contract to Il large bakery
here to make crackers for the recon-
centrados.
General CastellanO is ut Puerto Prin-
cipe. General Luque remains at Hol-
guin. News is awaited of an engage
ment that occurred yesterday in that
section. 1t is believed in Spanish mill
tary circles that the insurgent general,
Claxio Garcia, has fallen back to the
camp at Jesus Rabi.
Additional supplies are greatly need
ed by the Spanish, particularly for
use at the hospitals, and the chiefs
commanding the battalions lack the
force necessary for operations and to
replace their losses. Moreover, the
guerillas are very much discon-
tented. There Is a great need OF
horses for the calvary. At Mayard the
supplies have failed.
Sol. Ordonez, while accommodating
with 700 men near the insurgent camp
at Capiro. met the insurgents in strong
force and lost several killed and
wounded.

Senator Cbandlcr's Views.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Will
liam L. Chandler of New Hampshire Is
out in another interview, in which he
predicts disaster to. the Republican
party. Among other things he says:
1.-THE Republican party will most
certainly go down to defeat in the con-
grcssional elections next fall If the
campaign Is fought upon the money
issue alone. The present Republican
administration must come out boldly
for the annexation of Hawaii and the
freedom of Cuba.
"If the United States should deliber-
ately and completely declare its deter
mination to make Cuba free. Spain will
not fire the first gun. There will be
no war. Cuba can be made free by
the United States. IT, however, the al
tentative of war comes, 1t would
strengthen the patriotism of the Amer
lean nation to be concerned. in the
struggle of a people who are seeking
liberty"
