Discomfort Amona Samoans.

San Francisco, Sept. 26.-' letter from
Tutuila, Samoa, says that the inhab.-
tantS want to know their real status
concerning the United States. Nomi-
nally. the islands belong to the United
States. but the states do nothing and tn.
natives and whites live in a quaLd ry,
not knowing which way to turn for fear
of getting into trouble. There has been
delay in the payment for lands taken by
the United States government for pub
lie purposes. and also for arms and am
munit.on turned in by the natives. The
Samoans contrast the alleged neglect
with the liberali'y of the Germans at
Apia, who are opening up the country,
building roads and making other public
improvements.

Fall River, Mass, Sept. 2G.-IrOm.
inent members of the Manufacturers
association say that they will await the
receipt Of the formal request of the
Textile Council before t;'king any action
on the announced increase of ! percent
in the wages of the Bourne and Iron
Works corporations employees.
No one can tell at this time what tn ,
final action of other local manufa cturerS
will be. They do not disguise their an
ger ut Mr.. BOrden's move in advancing
wages above the high water mark. when
cotton Is higher and cloth is lower than

That Is to say. cotton is now ut = II
cents, and print cloths are nominally
ut cents. while they werent3 = cents
about nine months ago, and cot on MaI
then l cent a pound lower. The rollln-
tary advance of the Iron Works mills
was as much OF II surprise to the labor
leaders as ii was to the manufacturers.
Because of the recent tiasco in the Manu-
facturers' aSsociati n, whereby Il vote
to reduce wages was not carried out,
there has been lack of unity among
local manufacturers totally unlike any
previous condition known here. But
the action Of the Iron Works mills seems
likely to cause a burial of hatchets and
Il revival of the community of intcr StS
idea for defense against tha one whom
most manufacturers today regard as Il
common enemy.
At a special meeting Of the Text |.

voted to instruct Seer. tary Whit, head

facturers, asking that notices h 10 ii

that this communication " i'll be sent mt

The general sentiment among mill
men is tha, there will be no advance in

COTTON TESTIFIES.
Regarding Dispatches Which He De
Iivered TO Comm ander Schley

Ilvereo 10 COMMANDER SCn'ey.
Washington. Sept 20. Two new wit
nesses were introduced in the Schley
court yesterday. They were Admiral
Cotton who, as captain, commanded the
auxiliary cruiser Harvard, and Captain
Wise, who commanded the auXil AIRY
cruiser Yale, during the Spanish war.
Both these vessels were used as scouts
and both came up with the lying squad
ron off Santiago Oh the 21th of May. b.
fore the retrogrnde movement to Key
West was begun.
Admiral Cotton testified that he went
aboard Admiral Schlry's flagship on
that date to take dispatches to him. and
he said ut first that he gave him four or
five dispatches addressed to the com
mandcr of the squadron. lie after
that probably two of these d slat hes
were addressed to himself (Admiral Cot
tom. but that they contained Informal
tiOn which he thought should be in Ad-
uiral Schley'S possession. One of these
was a copy of dispatch from Admiral
Sampson. which had not been printed
in the official records. stating that the
Spanish fleet was at santiago. He also
said that coal could have been TAX n
from the Merrimac on the 27th of May,
The day on which the retrogrnde move
ment to Key West was begun for the
purpose of coaling.
Captain Wise testified that on the 9th
Of May he signnlled Captain Philip Of
the Texas his opinion that Cervera was
inside the hurbor ut Santiago, but the
testimony was ruled out.
The "Dear Schlcy' letter was intro
duced yesterday. 1t is dated Key
West. Fla. May 30. 1898. Referring
to telegram from the navy department
received by Sampson, advising the lat
ter to send word to Schley to proceed to
Santiago. the letter says:
"After duly considering this telegram.
I have decided to make no change in
the present plans: that is, that you
should hold your squadron off Ci' nfl e
gOs. If the Spanish ships have put into
Santiago they must come ether to lla-
vana or Cicnfllesos to deliver the mu-
nitions of war which they are said to
be bringing for use in Cuba. am.
therefore. of the opinion that our best
chance of success in capturing Their
ships will be to hold the two points,
CienfuegOs and Havana, with all the
force we cnn muster. If later 1t should
develop that these vessels are at SAN
tiago we could then assemble of that
port the ships best suited for the pur-
pose and completely blockade it. Until
we then receive more positive Koruna
ton we shall continue to hold Havana
and CienfupgOS."
