Waterbury, March 24.-The strikers
statement issued this afternoon says

Colombo, Ceylon, March Exchanges
of the most serious nature have been
brought again Major General Sir Hec-
tor Macdonald, who is an aide de camp
to King Edward, commanding the Brit
ish forces in Ceylon in consequence of
which the governor of that island. Sir
Joseph West Ridgeway, has been order
General Macdonald. The latter, when
the charges were Sled some time ago
went to England to confer with his
friends and superior officers and now it
is understood he will return and face
the charges, which it is alleged, are
based on immoral acts.
London, March 24--The announce
ment from Colombo that Major General
Macdonald is to be tried by court mar
tial on most serious charges of immoral
conduct will undoubtedly prove to be
the greatest sensation in British mill
tary circles since the case of Colonel
Valentine Baker, who was sentenced
August 2, 1875, to pay a fine of $1,000 and
to undergo twelve months imprisoIi-
nent for indecently assaulting a lad in
q railroad carriage. General MacDon-
aid was regarded as one of Britain's
great soldiers. He rose from the ranks
in the Gordon Highlanders to his pres
ent position and the service list shows
no more honorable war record than that
of Macdonald, while few officers possess
more, harder won decorations. He is
extremely popular in the army and in
civil life. He served with fine distinc-
tion in the Boer war.
While the army officials and many
of his brother officers were aware that
charges were pending against General
Macdonald no intima ton of their ma
ture leaked out until the dinner of the
officers of a Highland regiment, March
q, at which Macdonald was not pres
ent. Lord Roberts, the commander-in-
chief, paid tribute in a speech on that
occasion to the Highland officers who
had served with distinction, but he did
not mention Macdonald. This attracted
considerable notice and the sensation
was increased when another speaker,
who was not aware of the facts in the
case, lauded Macdonald as a typical
Highland soldier, and found that his
remarks were received in cold silence
by the majority of the officers pres
ent.
General Macdonald, it is announced,
left England for the continent some
days ago and it is understood that he is
returning to Ceylon, under the advice.

Donald's version of the charges.

der the direction of Luther S. Kelly,
provincial treasurer, formerly captain
of volunteers and still earlier Indian
scout, known as Yellowstone Kelly,
baricaded building against the attack
ing party. The Americans, armed only
with a few sbotguns and short of am
munition maintained their defense
against the ladrones, refusing to yield
to an ultimatum demanding guns by
the reply Of Kelly that they would not
give up a single gun and would kill on
sight any ladrone within range. As
sistant Chief Taylor arrived at Surigao
with constabulary force, about eighteen
hours after the attack. On his ap-
proach the ladrone disappeared and COL
umns are now following them.

Location of German Regiment.
Berlin, March 24.-The photographs Of
twenty of the prettiest girls in Crefeld
have now become part Of the Reichs-
tag records as tangible argument
why parliament should appropriate
funds for the erection of a barracks at
Crefeld, so as to enable the girls to
have lieutenants as dance partners.
War Minister Won Gossler put the item
in the military budget at Emperor
Williams request which explained the
now well known story in connection
with his majesty's visit to Crefeld last
summer. The emperor at party one
night was surrounded by number of
girls and said to them:
''You like to dance with my lieuten-
ants, don't you?"
ALAS, your majesty" replied one of
the girls, there are no lieutenants.'

peror; then / will send you a regi-
ment."
Thereupon the emperor directed that
a Hussar regiment be transferred from
Dusseldorf to Crefeld as soon as bar
racks could be built for the soldiers.
Since then there has been warm con-
test before the budget committee be-
tween Dusseldorf and Crefeld, the for
mer opposing the transfer of the regi-
ment and during the contest the photo
graphs of the pretty girls were officially
presented and filed. Herr Theodore
Kiersch, the Dusseldorf member of the
Reihstag, contented that his town has
just as pretty girls as Crefeld and Of
fered to submit their portraits but the
chairman of the committee said it was
not necessary.
