HAZLETON, Pa, Aug 2S.-The geeat

national executive board asking that per-
mission be given to declare a general

they not succeed within ten days, permits

board TO strike.
Todsy's sessions were extremely stormy
ones, and no definite conclusion could be
arrived at until late in the afternoon. From
what could be learned the diversities OF
opinion were so great that Father Phil

mon last Sunday had expressed himself az
opposed to a strike and had signified de-
sire to address the convention, was sent
for.
He remained in the hall with the men
several hours and made a lengthy address,
whose tenor it is said subsequently, was
OF the same nature as his sermon-an ear

olutions for a strike.
At the conclusion of the afternoon ses-
sion the president and his committee stated
that certain demands would be made upon

FROM A BRITISH ARSENAL.
story of How Dewey Got Ammuni-
tion for Battle of Manila.

BOSTON, Aug. 2S.-A story is published
by the Traveller tonight to the effect
that Admiral Dewey stole ammunition
from the British arsenal in Hongkong the
night before he sailed for Manila to en-
gage the Spanish fleet. The name of the
man furnishing the information is not
pf.nted but here is the quoted interview:
"Dewey's last point of communication
with his Government was Hongkong,
which is a British port 1t was from this
port that Dewey sailed for Manila. and it
was well known there that Dewey did not
have sufficient ammunition of a certain
calibre to feed his guns in a big fight,
such as was surely expected. and this
fact is substantiated by the knowledge
that Dewey ceased action for a period Of
twenty minutes to have breakfast and
find out Just how the ammunition was
holding out.
Here, then. is the point that l am
getting at, and of which I am pretty
well informed. At Hongkong there is
British arsenal for supplying the British
squadro. in those waters. The last night
that Del.ey was in Hongkong the man
who was on watch over one of the pockets
magazines in which was kept just the
calbre of shot that Dewey most needed
was mysteriously away from his post,
and it was afterward said he had gone on
a visit to friends on the other side of the
city
Under cover of night number of
coolies went to the pocket and took from
the magazine a great many rounds of
shot. They were put on board the small
boats and taken out to the American
feet. Next day Dewey sailed for Manila,
and on May 1 England helped the gallant
commodore to Duncture the iron ribs of
Spain.
1.-The theft of the shot was never in
yestigated by the British officials at
Hongkong. and the man who left his post
was never punished"
