COURSE OF THE STRIKERS.
ROTELLA SAYS THERE ARE TWO WAYS
OF DEALING WITH NEW MEN, But
THAT THERE WILL BE No FIGHT.

ROtela an alleged leader of the Italian strik-
crs who has been somewhat bOastfuI heretofore
Of what would happen to any men who
would dare 70 fill the strikers places, had
changed hts tune yesterday. and denied that he
was a leader Of the strikers in any sense. He
declared that he was only their interpreter He
emphatically declared that the strikers should
not be held responsible for the killing Of Ser
geant Douglass, saying that il was either the
act Of a drunken hanger on or Of some person
who had been inspired to do IT for the sole pur-
pose Of alternating all public sympathy from the
strikers
He also declared that enemy Of the strikers
was responsible for spreading the report that
they intended 10 damage the old Croton Dam
or cut off the water supply of the city RoteIla
said that the strikers could have done this long
ago had they desired, but they knew that a
water famine in New York would raise such a
lust and a vehement feeling OF hostility against
those who caused 1t that they might as well
leave this part Of the country al once.
When Rotella was told that enough new men
had been imported into the neighborhood within
the last few days 70 nh the places or all VINO

whistle blows and when he was asked how he

Rev. Alr. Kempton says that he saw
Miss Maud Fellows. also of this city, in
company with Miss Holleran and another
lady, and that, having an interest in
Miss Fellows, who joined his church
recently, he went to her and said that

but he denies he used the language set
forth IN the complaint. and says that he
has no fear for the final outcome of the
affair.
