apera that the strike would fizzle out seems to bo well founded. Tho strikers are severely handicapped. Inasmuch as that they have no funds to back them up. and in many Instances there Is a sad lack of concerted action on the part of their leaders. Ires!dent Itoasiter stated to-day that the men on strike would not be discriminated against If they returned to work at once, tut so far not one of the strikers has seceded from the ranks. it was reported to-day that a committee representing the strikers would call on District Attorney Steele during the day and ledge complaints with him against the officials of the Kapid Transit Company for violations' of tho ten-hour law. Mr. Steele s.Id that no grand Jury would meet until S;pt. 3. "The official?, however." said the tlistrict attorney, "if they have violated ths law. could be prosecuted In a Police Court. If. found guilty a. fine of could be Imposed, with the additional sentence of one .'year in the penitentiary. To prosecute the company as a corporation, the matter must be presented to the grand Jury." ACTION OP ALDEILUEN. The Board of Aldermen of the Greater New York unanimously adopted the following resolution to-day: "Whereas the employes of a number of surface railroads in the borough of Brooklyn, because of unjust treatment and the payment of inadequate wages, have declined to longer ferve the masters of said railroads unless their grievances shall bo adjudged In a fair and equitable manner, therefore, be It "liesolved. That the Municipal Assembly of the city of New York extends its sympathy to the striking railroad employes in their effort to secure better wages and fewer hours and requests the managers of the several railroads on which strikes are occurring to agree that all differences between employer and employee be adjudged by arbitration. "Resolved, That the corporation counsel be and he is hereby requested to take such action as will compel the railroad companies doing business in the city of New York to live up to the ten-hour Law." Alderman Kenny introduced the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: "That the district attorneys of the several counties within the city of New York, as now constituted, be and they hereby are respectfully requested to proceed at once legally against all railroads who have violated and now are violating the ten-hour law relating to later." The cars on the Third-avenue, the Fifthavenue and the Fulton-street lines stopped running shortly after 7 o'clock to-night. The cars on all the other lines In operation stopped at midnight. STRIKERS RESTRAINED.

Federal Injunction Issued. Against Kansas Miner. ( FORT SCOTT, Kan., July 13.-Judge Williams, In the Federal Court, to-day, after listening to arguments for many hours, granted Injunctions against President Wright, of the fourteenth district of the United Mine Workers of America, against the executive board In charge of the southeast Kansas strike and 'against every union miner. The right of speech and Inducement was reserved for the defendant, who fought the Injunction hard. One of the coal companies sought by motion to have the United Mine Workers' Union declared an Illegal organization, but the court refused to do this. The defendants and all other persons who may combine, confederate or conspire "with them are severally and collectively enjoined from interfering with, hindering, boycotting, obstructing the business of the ccial companies or from entering the premises or congregating near their property or from threatening, intimidating, boycotting or molesting any employe of the companies. The strikers, by their attorney, made an especial plea to- have the executive board exempted from the injunction, but the court said they were tho ones above all others to be enjoined. President Wright and Joseph Boston, of Duquoln, 111., members of the national committee, stated after the decision that the Injunction would In no way affect the strike; that it was becoming effective each day. LULL. AT CLUVULAXD. Xoncnlonlst Sot Disturbed by StreetHalluar Strikers. CLEVELAND. O.. July 19.-Whether or not the quiet that has prevailed to-day precedes a storm to come in the street-railway strike is the question everybody 13 asking. The strikers arc pursuing different tactics from those followed in the former etrike. They are not Interfering with the nonunion men who are operating cars nor will they tell what "their plans are. The officials of the company also refustd to talk, but they operated cars on several of the lites to-day under police protection without molestation. Preparations are being made t to resume operations on other lines, and it Is apparent other men arc to be secured to ' take the places of the strikers. The State Board of Arbitration is trj;ing to bring about arbitration, but thus far no success . has attended the efforts in that direction. President Bryan, of the union, was asked whether the union would arbitrate either through the state board or otherwise. "What is there to arbitrate?" was his significant reply. Merchants claim that the last strike cost them $lo),ou), and are now talking of establishing bus lines to parallel the Big Consolidated tracks. Twenty nonunion motormen and conductors have reached here from Chicago. . Glass Blowers Adjourn. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 18.

CIDAX MISCHIEF MAKERS AT WORK IX CHIEF CITIES. Also Maintaining: a Junto In Mexico Sample of the Manifestoes In Circulation. HAVANA. July lS.-The truth regarding the recent proclamation issued;ln Matanzas shows that a regular revolutionary party has been established, with headquarters in Havana, its object being to Incite Cubans throughout the entire country. This party iias agents In every large city and also a junto in Mexico, one of the agents of which Is now here. All this is well known to the authorities1, and no manifesto comes off the press without the government receiving a copy of It. Of course, these inflammatory addresses are hurtful to the peace of the country, but It is generally considered It would work more harm to arrest the leaders of the movement, who would pose as martyrs, which Is seemingly their desire, as, though they must know their machinations are discovered, they persist In the agitation. Each province has, or will have, an address widely circulated, signed by some prominent name sulficiently common to be borne by many, and thus to prevent the accusation of forgery. One such appeal recently issued In the province of Santiago reads as follows: "With my soul stirred with enthusiasm by your dignified action under the humiliating conditions in which we are placed by the intervening government, 1 ralye my voice to you. brave comrades and obedient soldiers of the immortal Maceo. asking, in glorious remembrance of his name, that you again swear that you will die on tho battle field before you will live like miserable cowards, yoked and tied like the disinherited offfpring of our forefathers, allowing a perjured forelcrn flag to float where our shores should be marked only by the blessed emblem of the lone star. You who turned your backs on the vile metal which pretended to pay for the arms which cost so many sacrifices will know how to uve them again should it be necessary in defense of our Just rights, because the great and powerful are small and cowardly when they face justice and truth. I shall always be first to die for you or to carry you to glory." This signed, "Your brother and general, Duany." General Maximo Gomez has refused the offer of tjuintos de los Molinos as a permanent residence and has also stated that he will not use the furniture offered him. He has a house In Havana where he will live with his family and to which he will bring all his belongings, lie wishes it to.be generally known he does not care to accept gifts. General Gomez expects his family to arrive next week from Santo Domingo. Deaths In Brooke's Command. WASHINGTON, July IS.

CHICAGO, July lS.-The National Steel Company officials express no concern over the notice served on them by the attorney general of Ohio that they are liable to action under the anti-trust law of that State. One of the directors of the company, speaking of the matter, said: "We do not admit that we are a trust within the meaning of the statutes, since we are not organized to fix prices qf bessemex steel or to restrict competition. There, will probably be a change of administration in Ohio this November and we do not intend to bororw any trouble until we have to. We believe that the State of Ohio can do nothing except to compel us to take out a license to do business in the State as a foreign corporation and we are perfectly willing to do that. Our plants in Ohio are there to stay and we do not intend to move out of them, as we are assured that our business is legitimate In every way." The Steel Tube Trust. CLEVELAND, O., July 18.

(Concluded from First rage.) correspondent be delivered to him that he might be shot for criticising his campaign. But General Otis is regarded as the ablest lawyer in the army, a man of judicial temperament, who can be trusted to deal as leniently as possible with these young gentlemen who have undertaken to tell the American people about his mistakes. "Probably the least he can do Is to assure them that their usefulness in Manila is ended and that they shall return home. He can, at the same time, inform the newspapers of this country that other correspondents may be sent, and so long as they submit to the proper military discipline necessary with an army In the field and submit their dispatches to his censorship they "Will be allowed to remain. But it is utterly ridiculous to assume that a dozen newspaper correspondents can raise an issue between General Otis and the government. To do so would be to assume that General Otis and every commander with him. Including the members of the Philippine Commission, are incompetent, untrustworthy and deliberately misleading the administration as to the.conditlon of affairs that prevails in the island. Were that true. Major General Otis, the Philippine commanders and a number of other generals who are in command should be at home in irons, courtmartialed and shot. "The publication of this correspondence will no doubt create much public distrust, but the people should remember that President Lincoln faced the same kind of conditions and declined to allow the newspaper correspondents to conduct the military operations of the government. Had he not done so. the greatest generals of the Union army would have been retired before they were able to accomplish anything. It is never wise to take the statements of untrained observers of a critical situation which demands expert knowledge. General Otis is in command, and has all the reports of officers and agents to aid him in his view of, the situation. It Is Impossible for the newspaper correspondents to know more than he allows them to know, for they are absolutely under his control. The question raised, therefore, is not one of facts, but of opinions, and the administration will accept the opinions of Gen. Otis in preference to those of the newspaper correspondents who have signed this round robin." The issue which the correspondents have raised is no new question to the government. Precedents are found In the history of the civil war. Mere than one war correspondent In the sixties, as the Cabinet officer Indicates, failed to comprehend the character of his relations to the general commanding the army which he was accom

panying. A crisis auch as the correspondents in the Philippines have created occurred in the early part of the civil war. A leading correspondent was expelled from a camp. Proprietors of loyal papers in New York and other cities took up the case and appealed to Mr. Lincoln. The political pressure brought to bear was very strong. But to the newspaper men. his personal friends, who called upon him to overrulo the action of the general. Presilent Lincoln kindly but firmly replied that he could not interfere, and he did not. The opinion prevailing at the War Department is that these correspondents will be forced to leave Manila and. that the press associations and papers they represent will be informed that other men can be sent. General Miles, who is acting secretary of war to-day, takes the position that General Otis is in command In the Philippines and that the newspaper correspondents have no official standing, as they are merely camp followers and entirely subject to the rules cf the commander. "General Otis may try them by court-martial," said General Miles, "and punish them as he would any resident of Manila who disobeyed military orders; or he may arbitrarily expel them from the islands. They are under his Jurisdiction absolutely, and so placed themselves when they went to Manila. They cannot raise an Issue between General Otis and the government. The government must necessarily look to the general In command for its reports as to the situation. The newspaper correspondents are merely so many private individuals, who are complaining of a condition which confronts them. They are supposed to be reputable gentlemen and as such the protest will no doubt have weight with the public, but it is not official and It can have no weight with the government." TALK WITH A FILIPINO.

Demoeratlc Correspondents Worklnjr Up Campaign Material. MINNEAPOLIS, July 15. The Times tomorrow morning will publish an interview which took place May 18 at San Isldro, Luzon, between its special correspondent, Martin E. Tew, of the Thirteenth Minnesota, detailed by General Wheaton as brigade Interpreter, and Maj. Lorenzo L. Zialcita, leader of Aguinaldo's cavalry and one of the Filipino commissioners who went to General Otis with propositions for an armistice. Major Zialcita denied emphatically that Filipino officials had ordered the burning of Manila and the wholesale murder of Americans, and cited as proof that many Fllpino officers were in Manila that night and were taken prisoners. He said the proclamation of General Otis proclaiming himself governor general had greatly incensed the Filipinos, but asserted that both the Filipino leaders and people believed the Americans had begun hostilities. Major Zialcita, speaking of the reputed promise of independence made prior to the fall of Manila, when asked by Mr. Tew if in their eagerness for independence the Filipinos had not misunderstood or misconstrued the language of American officials and officers replied: "There is not the slightest mistake about this. Consul Wlldman verbally made this statement to us, and we had so much confidence In the good intentions of the United States that to us it meant as much as if it had been delivered in writing. Besides, when we were in Cavite a number of us had the honor of entertaining General Anderson at the Atheno Rizal. This was before Manila was taken by your forces. Gen. Anderson on this occasion made a speech In which he said that the Americans had not come here for the purpose of taking one foot of territory with the view of permanent possession, but for th purpose of giving the Filipinos their Independence. On Sept. 21 last year on the occasion of a fiesta a number of American officers celebrated with us at the residence of Pedarno Pacheco, and all expressed the same sentiments. On many different occasions we were told by men high in authority that Filipino independence would be recognized." "What was the opinion of the Filipino leaders in regard to General Otls's proclamation of Jan. 4?" "That proclamation," replied the major, "was decidedly bad and greatly Incensed the feople everywhere. It stated nothing cleary and promised nothing. It was noncommittal on all points except that Otis declared himself governor general of the islands and that our country had been purchased from Spain. The Filipino people desired independence, not annexation." On being asked if he really thought the Filipino people were sufficiently educated to conduct affairs of local and national selfgovernment, the young Filipino -replied: "Our people have always been misrepresented, both by the local and foreign press. The friars are our worst enemies and have been active in this regard, as they have always tried to hold us in subjection. Educational affairs have heretofore been In their hands, and it has served their purpose to prevent the people from becoming too wise.

Major Zialcita was told that many people in the United States believed it a sacred duty of the United States to take possession of and govern the Philippines, inasmuch as the natives were not capable of self-government. To this he replied: "This would have been a reasonable proposition if we had demonstrated, after a fair trial, that our government was inadequate to protect life, property and personal rights. How could we prove our fitness or unfitness for self-government until we had been given an opportunity to show what we could CaV Referring to the telegram of Feb. 20 sent by General Otis relative to the order of the Filipino government to burn Manila and massacre the whites in the city, the Filipino emissary, with a flash of anger in his face, replied: "That was false, absolutely false. No such order was ever Issued by officials at Malolos. If General Otis found any such written order it was the work of friars or some other enemy of ours. This is not a race war. We realize that in order to win we must have the support of civilized nations and must conduct our affairs accordingly.
