GEN. HowARD's VIEWS.
He Thinks Spain Is Trying to Pro-
long the War.


Pit.sburg, Pa, May 12.-Major General
Oliver Otis Howard, L. s. A, retired. of
Burlington, VT, passed through Pittsburg
yesterday en- route to Chickamauga.
where he will institute the work of the
Christian Commission. In discussing the
situation he said:
Il do not believe the present war with
Spain will have speedy termination
think Spain Is trying to avoid a decisive
engagement, and will conduct the war by
harassing our commerce, and delay mat
ters in the hope that some of the foreign
powers will interfere. / expect that inter-
national complications more or less seri-
Gus will result before the war is ended
II do not know what the War Depart
ment intends to do, but l think Il will be
a grave mistake II Sampson is not allowed
to capture Porto Rico while in those wat
ers. The Philippines We have and will
hold. Spain may attempt to recover them
but our re-enforcements will reach there
before any Spanish expedition can do so''
The evening times., 1898-05-12

We have had so many stories of sea
fights, distant cannonading and the like
from Cape Haitier, which afterwards
turned out to be dreams, that the report
of a bombardment of Porto Rico from
that point although it may easily be
true, has to be taken with much reserve
until officially confirmed. However, ev-
erybody will hope 1t may be true. 1t Is
high time that the war should commence
in this hemisphere.

Cardenas. where the first naval fight of
the war in the Atlantic was fought. is sit
uated on a fine bay about thirty miles
east of Matanzas, and seventy-five or
eighty miles east of Havana. Its extensive
harbor well protected from the sea by ISL
ands. would make an excellent base of
supplies for an invading army, and We
presume that the operations against 1t had
that design in view. 1t seems to have
been equipped with gunners as well as
guns

1t is to be hoped that the Government
will not pour water into the sea" by re-
stricting its aid to Admiral Dewey to a
small force of troops hardly sufficient to
handle the Spanish garrison at Manila,
which must amount to at least eight thou
sand men. Military experts in the Orient
assert that it will take twenty thousand
soldiers to garrison the islands, and they
ought to be furnished just as quickly as
possible.
The evening times., 1898-05-12

This is pretty good war day! The force
under Admiral Dewey is not wasting its
time In a life OF sinful ease in the harbor
of Manila. A Hong Kong dispatch, which
will be found elsewhere, brings the infor-
nation that the Concord of our Asiatic
squadron, has sunk a Spanish war vessel
on the port of Iloilo. after a terrific fight
lasting two hours. 1t is stated that no.
body or board Of our ship was killed.

There really does not seem to be any
thing so overwhelmingly friendly on the

his safe quarters in the Windsor Hotel in
Montreal! 1t would be a very graceful act
of international courtesy If our neighbors
would kick him out.

STRIKERS DISAGREE.
Non nionists and Unionists Of
New Bedford in a Snarl.
THEY CHARGE DISCRIMINATION

Declare That Funds Collected to Aid
the strike Has Been Paid to Union
Operatives Only, "A Statement That
Is Indignantly Denied by Unionlsts.
principal ak of the day in the strike
situation is the difference that has
arisen between the union and nom
union operatives. This difference
threatens to end in open rupture. and,
as many cases of restitution are actu-
ally reported, no doubt hundreds Of
non-union operatives would take the
first chance to make a break from the
strikers and return to work. These
non-unionists claim that money COL
lected outside the union has been paid
to union operatives, to the exclusion
of the n%on-union help. Such a feeling
has been created among non-union
strikers that a meeting was called for
yesterday.
At the headquarters in Dawson's Hall
a non-union striker mounted the plat
form to make h announcement of the
meeting. He had not talked but a
m when some of the crowd, which
UtdTly llleu TIE NAIL, set uDOu nllll'
dragged him from the platform and
put him cut of the building. Under
these circumstances even the men who
had threatened to advise the non
~unionists to vote to return to work I'M
less the union promised them aid were
not present at the appointed time to
call a meeting. But the disaffection
has become sufficiently widespread to
OnIIGa "a Failing Of nnaaGinaGG and
fears are expressed that unless some
measure is taken at once the non
~unionists will cause trouble which may
result in a stampede to the mills. The
non-union help have become impressed
with the Idea that they are not re-
ceiving fair play. This charge of the
non-unionists Of not receiving proper
aid has caused an unusual amount of
bitterness among the union men and
women in charge of the collections.
They are inclined to look upon this talk
as very abusive, and many of the most
prominent labor men are inclined to
urge the strike council to drop the
whole enterprise and let the nom
unionists assume the task for them
selves.
Others argue that It is better to help
those who cannot help themselves, and
that the only way to make a success OF
the strike is in caring for the whole
body of operatives.
They say hat the dissatisfaction
among the non-union weavers is not
likely to cause any serious disturbance
of the program as laid out by the lead
ers of the strike, since the mill treas
urers would not think of opening the
gates until after some communication
had been received by the unions. TIC
open the gates without even an effort
at settlement would create serious con
fiicts among the help, which the mil
would not care to see.
Mrs. Pickering, the woman strike
leader, held a meeting in City Hal
yesterday in spite of the protests OF
the unions. The meeting was crowded
and Mrs. Pickering expressed her con-
tempt at the manner in which the la
Dor leaders were conducting the whole
affair.

IT IS EASY TO TELL.

People who fail to look after their health
are like the carpenter who neglects to sharpen
his tools. People are not apt to get anxious
about their health soon enough. If you are
mot quite well' or 'half sick'' have you
ever thought that your kidneys may be the
cause of your sickness
1t is easy TO tell by setting aside your urine
for twenty-four hours a sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition of the
kidneys. When urine stains linen it is
evidence Of kidney trouble. Too frequent
desire to %urinate, scanty supply, pain or dull
ache in the back is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are ont of order.
There is satisfaction in knowing that the
great remedy DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, full
fills every wish in relieving weak or diseased
kidneys and all forms Of bladder and urinary
troubles. Not only does Swamp-Root give
new life and activity to the kidneys-the cause
of trouble, but by treating the kidneys it acts
as a tonic for the entire constitution. If you
need a medicine take Swamp-R oot-it cures.
Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one
dollar, or by sending your address and the
name of this paper to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, n. V, you may have a sample
bottle of this great discovery sent to you free
by mail.

GERMAN RETALIATION.
Dr. Micquel's Decree Modified by
the B~undesrath.
PLANTS AND SHRUBS EXCLUDED.

Our Fruits VIII BE Barred Only when
Found Infested with Vermln-The
Buudesrath's Action Due te Ambas-
sador Whites Vigorous Protests.
Berlin, Feb. At is announced that
the buudesrath federal counciD in
plenary sitting yesterday approved its
committees proposal that a decree
should be issued prohibiting the inn
portation from America of live plants
and shrubs and packages containing
the same.
The decree will also in a certain
measure affect American fruits. These
are to be examined by experts on their
arrival at German ports, and packages
found to be infected with the fruit
louise will be excluded. instructions to
this effect will be issued to the Gus
toms authorities.
This announcement, which IS made
by an official agency, appears to indi-
cate a measure distinct from the de-
C Ge issued on Tuesday by DR.. MIGUEL,
The Prussian minister of finance, pro-
hitting the importation of every kind
Of American fresh fruit, but 1t is diff
ncult to ascertain the exact details.
The hundesrath's measure, it Is point
ed out, is far less stringent than
similar measures at present enforced
in individual states of the American
union"
The bundesrath supersedes with its
authority DR.. Micquel's decree, which
seems i'll advised in its rigor and sud
denness, and which, naturally provis-
ional, was o~ccasioned by the recently
reported results of experiments by DR..
Friedrich o Kueger, of the agricul-
tural high school.
Tit bundesrath's action is due, it is
announced, to a series Of vigorous pro-
tests from the shippers affected, es-
pecially those of Hamburg, on the low
err Rhine, and at Emmerich, and still
more to the protests of Ambassador
White. Its decision forbids the inn
portation only where the fruit is af-
fected by the aspidiotus perniciosus, or
San Jose plant bug, which is aid to
have done enormous damage in the
United States. The bundesrath's de-
cree applies to the whole of Germany,
and makes matters m~omentarily bet
ter, but it is believed that it's future
Interpretation will largely correspond
with DR.. MicqueIs decree. Parties in
terested here fear that the United
States will resort to reprisals.
The Hamburg authorities yesterday
permitted the unloading of apples from
the United States, owing to instruc-
lions received from Berlin as the re.
suit of the protests of United States
Ambassador White against DR.. Miquers
decree.

SURPRISE IN WASHINGTON.
DR.. Nicquel's Hasty Action Discour-
teous to Ambassador White.

III 4D lC'iAt = ilh|tN ACllOh DlStONlI-
teous to Ambassador White.
Washington, Feb. 4. 49, Cablegrams
from Ambassador White at Berlin CON
veyed the official information as to
the decree of exclusion of American
fruit from Prussia. The first cable
gram was 50 meager that a request
was sent to Mr.. White for further de-
tails, During the afternoon further ad-
vices were received. 1t would seem
that the full details are not yet obtain
able in Berlin, but it is expected that
the ambassador will cable the entire
decree as soon as he can obtain pos
session of it. The important facts that
were established by the last advices
were, first hat the decree of exclusion
did not use the word American" as de-
scriptive of the place of origin of the
fruit, as was at first supposed, and
includes in the prohibition all dried
fruits from America.
The state department officials have
not yet recovered from their surprise
at the method adopted by the German
government Of accomplishing it's OBJ
ject in this matter, and undoubtedly
the correspondence to follow will set
this out very clearly. The objection to
the course pursued is threefold. In
the first place, it is said to be entirely
without precedent and discourteous to-
wards the American ambassador at
Berlin to make the decree and put it
into effect without the slightest warn
ing to him. In the seconu place, by
making the decree take effect at once
Il stopping all fruit in transit a
great injustice is done to shippers, who
thus, without warning, are made to
lose heavily on their capital invested
in the fruit. Third, the decree is un-
fair in that 1t makes no provision for
the admission of fruit of absolute puri
ty, permits no demonstration of origin
or healthful condition me in fact con-
dennis all fruit, good and bad alike.
These considerations were probably
strongly urged upOn the German gov
eminent by Ambassador White as rea-
sons why 1t should either revoke or
modify the decree on the lines indi-
Gated, and led to action by the bundles
rath.
