MAKERS
In Greater New York are on a strike but at
ODDS With the strikers.

oee1 II -
NEW YORK, July 24.-It was said
at the headquarters of the Brotherhood
Of Tailors here to-day. that between
5000 and 1000 coa makers in Greater
New York, went on a strike this morn
ing. The strike of the coat makers
has necessarily thrown out the basters,
trimmers and others, as they have no
coats to work on.
The strike seems to have been preci-
plated by the action of the pressers,
to the number of 1.400, who last week
made a demand for piece work, ten
hours a day, and 20 per cent. increase
in the scale. The coat makers are OPP
posed t the piece work system and
they are at cross purposes with the
pressers. Harris Filler, secretary Of
the Independent Coat Makers Union,
said that the coat making shops in
Greater New York had practically
stopped work.
BY striking the coat makers. 1t was
said, could force the pressers to desist
from their demands, particularly as to
piece work.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24-The
United States transport Morgan City,
which has been converted into a hos
pital ship arrived to-day from Manila,
having on board 473 sick and eonva-
lescent soldiers. The vessel started
with 476, but three died on the voyage,
private C. J. Bobbs, Tenth Pennsyl-
vania; private Lewis Cook, Twenty
second regiment, and First Lieutenant
Jackson, First South Dakota. These
succumbed to dysentery, the disease
with which nos of the Others were af-
fiicted. All of those on board were i'll
when the steamer left Manila, but the
removal from a tropical climate and
the sea air so benefited the invalids
that on arrival here only twenty-five
were unable to leave their berths.
Every command and almost every reg
iment is represented among the re
turning soldiers. After the thorough
inspection of the ship the transfer of
the men to the military hospital at the
Preside began. Only a few of the
men are suffering from the effects of
wounds.

SHERIDAN ARRIVES.


Transport With Reinforcement for Otis,
Arrives AT Manila.
MANILA, July "a, 6 p. m.-The Unit
ed States transport Sheridan, which
sailed from San Francisco, June 25,
with reinforcements for Gen. E. S.
Otis, has arrived here to-day. On July
16, a great waterspout was discovered
directly in the course of the ship, and
to avoid it, it was necessary to make
a detour of several miles.
Gen. Otis has received a letter dated
July 2, and signed by Charles Blanford
and Fred Hoppe, respectively assistant
engineer and third officer of the hos
pital ship Relief, who were captured
by Filipinos off Paranaque, ON May 80.
The letter says the prisoners in the
hands of the insurgents "are receiving
excellent treatment, but the suspense
of fearing the loss of our positions is
terrible" The writers beg Gen. Otis to
intercede for their release. Gen. Otis
has taken steps in that direction.
Two Augustinian friars who had
landed from the Hong Kong ship, have
been arrested here. 1t is said they had
documents upon their persons showing
they were agents Of the Filipino junta
at Hong Kong, and that they intended
to bear messages to Aguinaldo.
On board the transport Sheridan, the
arrival of which at Manila is reported
above, were Brig.-Gen. Samuel B. NJ.
Young and aides, Col. Daggett, Major
Quinton; Companies B and H, OF the
Fourteenth Infantry, 239 enlisted men
and two company officers, troops A and
F, Fourth Cavalry, z officers and 173
enlisted men; Lieut.. Moss and 25 men
of the oath Infantry, 8 hospital corps
men, and IL members of the signal
corps, as well as 1,248 recruits for the
regiments already in the Philippines.

DUMDUM
Their Abolition Opposed by Great Britain
and the Inifed States

and the United States.
WASHINGTON, July 24.-The Unit
ed States will not be bound by the re-
ported decision of The Hague confer
enee TO prohibit the use of the dunn
dun bullet in warfare. So far we have
mo- been obliged to resort to tie use
of this bullet, but the ordnance officers
hare been making experiments to Sc
cure an increase in the stopping" eff
feet of the small calibre barrel used in
the Krag-Jorgensen and these expert
ments have proceeded somewhat on the
lines of the dumdum bullet. The spe-
eifc reason why Captain Crozier and
the remainder of the American dele
gates voted against the proposal topro-
nibit the dumdum was because their
general Instructions forbade them TO
pledge this government to any line of
action that would retard the develop
ment of inventive genius in warfare.
Adhesion TO the protocols is volun-
tary. Great Britain, it is understood,
also refused to prohibit the use of the
dumdum bullet.
The delegates met this afternoon and
re-eyamined the ext OF the final act
in order to decide how reservations are
to be made. 1t was decided that not
only the three conventions. but the
three declarations must be separately
signed, the formula accompanying
which will be decided upon tomorrow.
