Charge Greene Makes Against Buts-Hs Sues

John f Greene has begun suft TO re-
cover $1,000 in an action of assumpsit
from Tobias Burke. Mr.. Greene claims

license transferred from West River

erty owners in the vicinity had signed
a remonstrance to the granting of two
transfers TO the number on Randall
square that Mr.. Burke wanted his Ii
cense transferred to. Thereupon Burke
told Greene il is claimed, that II he
got the remonstrants TO withdraw thelr
opposition ne, Burke, would hire Greene
TO labor in and conduct the saloon until
May 1, 1900. and pay him 40 per cent. or
the proceeds of the saloon after max
ing certain deductiCbls for goods delN-
cred and expenses. Mr.. Greene got the
remonstrants to withdraw and the
transfer was granted by the license
commissioners as Mr.. Burke desired
last July.
Mr.. Greene went to work for Mr.
Burke when palatial saloon was OPEN
ed on Randall square but in a Few days
Mr.. Burke, II is alleged, without any
reason fired Greene out and refused 20
give him any work whatsoever. Mr.

Before Judge Rogers in the appellate
division of the supreme court today
was heard the suit Of Patrick F. Hoye

case has been before the courts a num-
Der of times and the plaintiff sues to

or payable in one wear. The notes were
given to one Andrew T. Stewart the
former owner OF liquor saloon In this
city. Mr. Stewart endorsed the notes
and delivered them to the James Han

The defendants claim that the con-
sideration of the notes has wholly fall

that n license 10 sell intoxicating liquor

them. The license commissioners IL is
alleged refused to transfer the license

nolo contendere in Judge Wilbur's court
today. Dubois is the man who shot at
Sergt Bennett and Officer Mcdonald OF
the Fifth police station. when they went

time OF the shooting his client had been
working Cay and night, and was very
nervous. Counsel also said the prisoner
had a sick child.
The prisoner himself had nothing TO
say. Judge Wilbur sentenced Dubo >

The shooting was an aggravated one,
as officer Mcdonald suffered much
from the wound inflicted on him. 'pn-

Manila. Oct. 1855 a. m.-Geh. Otis
has received messages purporting to
come from the insurgent general. Pho
Del Pillar. Offering TO sell out his army
and TO deliver Aguinaldo into the hands
OF the Americans. Although he is not
satisfied that this offer is authentic, IL
is not intrinsically improbable. The
policy of Gen. Otis is firmly set against
buying any surrenders.
Pho Del Pillar offers for the sum or
$50. 900 to refrain from attacking Ma
nila with his army. for the sum or
$3.50 900 he offers 10 surrender his army
after a sham battle. both sides hring
into the air: and for the sum Of 100000
he says he will procure the overthrow
OF the insurrection and the capture OF
Aguinaldo. Paterno and the other lead
ers.
RELATIONS STRAINED.
In the course OF the communication
he refers TO Aguinaldo in contemptu--
Gus terms. indicating that strained re-
lations exist between them.
Reports are being received from the
districts occupied by the enemy THAI
the Ffkpinos believe that Pho Del Pillar
has an audacious plan to break the
American lines into Manila and to seize
Gen. Otis and the archbishop. Possibly
these rumors were started with an idea
of helping him TO make a deal with the
Americans. 1t is unnecessary 10 say
that ftp-Americans would welcome an
attack OF that sort. There has been
much speculation of late regarding the
whereabouts OF Pho Del Pillar.
The recent attack at La Iona is
credited TO him. 1t is believed he is now
in the vicinity of San Mateo valley
with force OF from 1900 10 5000 men.
