STARTLING MAKES REPORT
Sent There to Investigate the Labor Trouble.
Said That He Could Discover No Evidence of the Violation of the Laws of the United
 States.

Tampa, Fla, Oct. H.-United States District Attorney J. N. Stripling who has been here several days investigating the labor troubles especially the recent deportation of Risistencia strike leaders, and with a view to adjusting the differ ences, made his report to the Attorney General at Washington today. He de- scribes in detail the trouble between the striking cigar makers and the manufac- turers and declares the gravity of the situation can scarcely be over stated The report reads:
 Upon my arrival at Tampa, met committee and requested their co-opera- ton in ferreting out any violations of the laws of the United States. It was gen. erally admitted that number of the prominent promoters of the strike have been compelle,. to leave Tampa. It was also represented to me that the strikers had themselves compelled number or their own members to leave. on account of the influence they were welding In favor of a cessation of the strike, but l was unable to obtain any evidence to identify the individuals who committed these acts of lawlessness.
 No Evidence of Iilegality.
 'I conferred freely with members of the Board of Trade, with representative citizens and with the Executive Commit tee of the Resistencia Union, which is conducting the strike, but was unable to obtain any evidence of violations Of the laws of the United States.
 Having satisfied myself that 1t was impracticable to secure any evidence which would justify a criminal prosecu- ton in the federal courts, l made an effort to bring the manufacturers and strikers together"
 The district attorney then deals with the differences between the employers and the men, declaring that strikes have been frequently ordered from Frivolous causes" and charging the purpose of the Resistencia Union seemed to be, not only to control manufacturing circles in Tampa, ;bat to control every. other line of business. The policy of the Union was so oppressive and had gone to such an extent, until finally when the .trfke was declared. 1t appears that almost every man not connected with She union rose up, declaring that the work of the resistencia had already gone too far"
 The district attorney concludes: "Un- important concessions could be made. on either side which in my opinion would result in no disadvantage, that would open the way to an early adjustment. but the strained relations have reached such a high tension that both sides sickle over making any approdch' TUT fear that 1t would be regarded as an evidence of weakness. I, however, suc- ceeded in suggesting a plan which net with the approval of a number Of in- fuential citizens who promise to take the matter up.
 My conclusion is that the federal gov- ernment can do nothing to relieve the situation in this unfortunate affdir, other than to exercise it's friendly "sficss In bringing about an amicable adjustment between the parties"

FAVORABLE TO SCHLEY
Explains Retr0grade Move
 ment and Its Object.
The Government Rests and Nunez, the Cuban Pilot, is the First Witness Called for the
 Applicant.

Washington, Oct. 1A-Today in the Schley court of inquiry Judge Advocate Lemly concluded presentation of testi- mony for the government and the first of Admiral Schley's witnesses was intro- duced. Captain Francis A. Cook. who commanded Admiral (then Commodore) Schley's flagship. the Brooklyn. during the Santiago campaign. and who acted, though unof1cially, in the capacity of chief of staff for the Commodore, was on the witness stand the greater part of the day. He was followed by Lieutenant Commander William F. Fullam who was senior watch officer on the New Orleans during the Spanish war and former Lieu tenant Joseph Beale. who, as an officer on the Harvard, translated the cipher dispatches between Commodore Schley and the Navy Department, carried by that vessel. Among these dispatches was that sent by Commodore Schley May 2S, expressing his regret at not having been able to obey the orders of the depart ment and explaining the reason why he could not do so. There are some verbal
 
 of this dispatch and the official print of 1t, and these MT. Beale explained.
 Lieutenant Beale was the last of the government witnesses, although Captain Lemly explained that he would reserve the right to call others if occasion should demand.
 Schley's First Witness.
 The first witness for Admiral Schley was the Cuban pilot, Eduardo Nunez, who told Schley on May 26th, 1898, that he did not believe the Spanish fleet under Cervera was in the harbor at Santiago.
 Captain Cooks testimony was a review of the entire campaign after Cervera's feet, beginning with the departure oi the flying squadron from Key West, May 1s, ana concluding with the battle Of Santiago July 8. He said that at frs it had been believed by both Sampson and Schley that the Spanish fleet wal in the harbor at Cienfuegos and that nt information to the contrary had beer conveyed to Commodore Schley until thG arrival of Captain McCalla May A; tha it was Commodore Schley's expectation to meet the Spaniards in the open sea an6 his constant care was to have coa enough for such emergency. He gave particulars concerning the retrograde movement and explained the Brooklyn's loop in connection with graphic account of the engagement of July g. Asked for an opinion as to Admiral Schley's bear ing as a commanding officer he said:
 T always regarded him as an enthusi' astically brave and patriotic officer"
 As to the loop of the Brooklyn which has become famous, Captain Cook says the movement was executed in accord with an order given by him on his owr responsibility, and that he considered the manouver eminently successful.

Another Appeal for Funds.

New York, Oct 1A-The Rev. Charles C. Creegan, District Secretary for the American Board of Foreign Missions, gave out letter today. part of which reads:
 "The American People-The case of Miss Stone. now in the hands of the Turk ish brigands, has undergone no material change In the office of the American Board and among her immediate friends, the greatest anxiety praveils. Our Gov ernment at Washington has not modified the opinion uttered by President Roose- welt that there is but one thing to do. and that is to raise the sum demanded for her ransom and that as quickly as possible. Of this amount $600O0 has al- ready been subscribed. Fifty thousand dollars more are required We appeal now to those among us who. by the bless ing of God. have larger financial ability to supplement the contributions of their neighbors that the necessary sum may be reached"
