GEN. GREENE TESTIFIES.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-Three wit
nesses were before the war investigat.
ing commission, General Greene, who
participated in the battle at Manila,
Colonel Lee, chief quartermaster at
Camp Thomas, and Major Hersey, who
was for time in command of the
Roosevelt rough riders. Each admit
ted the possibility of individual cases
of suffering and discomfort, but all
said that the vast majority of COM
plants were exaggerated if not with
out foundation. They agreed in say
ing that no army was ever SO luxur-
iously supplied as was the American
army in the Spanish war.
In response to inquiries General
Greene said there were ample supplies
for the men, both medical and commits
sary. Some of the men complained of
the cooking, but even they were not
heard As hours after the ship had sailed.
1t required 80 days to make the sail to
Manila.
The health of the troops was splendid
on the voyage. The brigade was landed
without loss. and camp was pitched
near the insurgents, who had little food
and poor organization, but were well
armed There were about 10000 of
them, and they had surrounded Manila
entirely and prevented any food from
going jnto t5e city.

Funny Things We See and Hear.



A large portly woman of Celtic accent
boarded an Eighth street car last evening
carrying Il large basket filled to the brim
with the family supplies for Sunday. On
top of the basketfull of provisions was a
dozen glass tumblers The conductor be-
ing like the majority Of those employed on
Our street cars, reached down and took the
basket with its contents out Of the hand
Of the woman and very considerably pro-
ceeded to carry 1t inside the car door and
in setting it down two Of the glasses fell off
and were broken.
The woman fairly berated the polite and
obiging conductor and told him Ill an un-
lady like manner that she wanted pay for
the broken glassware Tho conductor
tried to excuse himself for the mishap,
but the now irate woman would have
none of it, and keep on demanding that
she receive pay for the broken ware. The
conductor on his rounds for the passengers
fare, kindly asked the woman for hers.
Sho very Indignantly replied that she
would not pay u cenf, insisting that the
conductor should pay he fare as he had
broken her t,lmblers. The conductor told
her that sho would either have to pay her
fale OF get off of the car. At that she
showed fight and dared tho collector Of
fares to put her off, saying, sho guessed
she knew her business. She kept the pas
sengcrs in roar of laughter us she told hat
time after time how tho conductor had
broken her tumblers.

NEW ENGLAND'S STRIKE
New Bedford's Idle Workers Make
a4. an Appeal For Assistance. -
THE SITUATION IN FALL RIVER.
Fears That the Feeling Of Unrest May
. Spread to Those Still Working, and
That n General Suspension May Fol-
low in That City.


That n General Suspension May Fol-
low in That City.
Boston, Jan. 22.-Whle on the surface
the strike. situation in the cotton in
dustry in a number of manufacturing
centers shows little change, there is ap-
parently an undercurrent of unrest
which denotes that the strain on the
employees side, at least, is beginning to
be surely felt. The joint committee on
behalf of the strikers at New Bedford
issued an appeal last night for financial
assistance, and at Biddeford arrange
ments are being made for the issuance
Of soup to the non-union help out Of
work. The New Bedford committee, In
its appeal, points out the fact that the
mills concerned in the stnke paid an
average dividend last year of 7.6 per
cent, two Of them paying nothing and
two 10 and 16 per cent, respectively.
In the appeal for assistance the
strikers committee says. after refer
ring to the fact that the Potomoska.
Dartmouth and Whitman mills are the
only ones not declaring a good divi-
dend: ........
THE Potomoska mill is an old one,
and during the past year has made
extensive changes in machinery and
motive power. The Dartmouth is a
new mill, and has been less than a
year in full operatio The Whitman.
which paid but 1Ha per cent dividend,
is also new mill. and owes its pres
ent unsatisfactory condition to the de-
f,In - ,,l,, al,
the mill. The remaining mills have
an acknowledged capital Of s6,20OOOo
and an average dividend for 1897 of
76 per cent.
"The only argument advanced by the
manufacturers thus far as to why they
wish to reduce wages has been that
the other New England manufacturers
have reduced wages and they intend to
do the same and the only argument
advanced rs to why We should accept
the reduction has been that the win
ter is upon us and we would suffer
severely in case of strike
after considering the circumstances
the spinners, by only four dissenting
votes, and the weavers, by only five
dissenting votes, decided to strike, the
remainder of the organizations tasins
similar action, such action being heart
lily endorsed by all organized workers,
with the stated result that 5000 men
and women are now idle In this city,
the greater portion of whom will have
no other means OF support than that
which is received from outside sources" :"
The strike at Fall River appears also
to be advancing toward Il critical stage,
