the deciency was only temporary.
General Shafter, y he said, observes
great credit Tor the zeal he displayed in
this respect. He devoted himself to
this task, and think there il no doubt
that he succeeded. We used pack
trains and there was comparatively
little suffering because Of the shortne ess

Gen. Wheeler said in response to
question, that Cervera's feet was the
objective Of the campaign. There was
no reas IN why the Spanish troops
should not have made a sortie from
Santiago, and he asked Gen. Toral

attacked. The latter replied that the
failure to do 10 was because his men
were footsore. Yet Con. Wheeler
could not accept this explanation, for
the Spanish soldiers wsrs not footsore.
Gen. Wheeler's opinion was that the
Spanish commander was not able to
face the Americans in the open. Discus

that at times there were complaints.

occasions there was. shortage Of sur.

or wounded. According to Gen.
WheeIer's belief the wounded in battle
were promptly cared for BY the sur
geons. After the fight Of July ! all
the wounded were carried from the
field that night. The witness had
heard that there was more complaint
Of the shortage Of medicine among the
infantry than in the cavalry service.

Jimmy Michael to Ride for Phil Dwyer
This Season.


st. Louis, Feb. 22.-The Post-Dispatch
says: The Post-Dispatch is abe only
paper to announce the retirement or
Jimmy Michael. the Welsh Rarepit'
the greatest rider the field Of bicycling

aers trip to New York Is for the sole
purpose of entering the employment or
Phil Dwyer as jockey and riding his
horses this season.
Some time ago rumor was anoal
that Dwyer had offered Michael hand
some salary to quit the bike for the
race track, but the suggestion was
laughed at at the time and the idea or
Michael taking any such step was pro-
rounced ridiculous. 1t appears how

sidering the proposition and on Satur-
day last he announced to his nearest
friends that he was out of the bicycle
game for good and that he was going TO

into Submission.
Boston. Feb. 22.-The backbone OF the
cloth mill strike bids fair to be broken
within week. Negotiations looking to
conference between the New Bed
ford mill and the strike leaders have
been quietly carried on for two days
by Commissioner Barry OF the state
board Of arbitration. and 1t is generally
believed that meeting will be held
this week and compromise effected.
The merchants and operatives have
become heartily sick of the strike and
the city officials of New Bedford have
been placed in quandary by the big
demands on the poor department. While
the operatives have in the FIVE weeks
lost $375,000 in wages. to wind UP the
strike now would mean two weeks yet
before they will receive one cent in
wages owing to corporation rules with
holding the first weeks pay, and mean
time $525,000 will have been taken out
Of the usual channels Of trade.
1t has cost the city of New Bedford
close upon $4,000 to support the poor
operatives, and that all classes of trade
have felt the strike Is evidenced by
the falling off of s750,000 in the clearing
house receipts since the strike began.
1t is the general sentiment that the
operatives will return to work Feb. 2S.
