The order is a sweeping one and'
applies to everybody from Ad

have anything to say concerning
the Schley-Sampson controversy
or the court of inquiry, which is
to conveue in September. For
several days past many naval offi
cers have been agitating the mat
ter almost continuously, and
statements concerning various
, phases of the dispute have been,
given put in all parts of the coun

incidents to be investigated by

Navy Department that many offi

conclusion thatsilenceV should be

Washington, July 80. Civilian
employes of the United States
in the Philippines are not allowed
to organize trade unions, go out
upon. strikes, or enjoy other pri
vileges of which American work
men in this country avail them
selves. , Twenty teamsters em
ployed by the quartermaster's de
partment in Santa Cruz, Lagua,
have learned this . to their sorrow,
according' to mail advices
ay. The report states
that they are in jail, being fed
only bread and water and obliged
to sleep on a brick floor. ,Part of
the time they are denied blankets
to lie upon, all because they quit
their jobs and refused to work.
On June 18 seven of these men
were ordered to break stone,
They declined to oby on the
ground that they had not been hi
red for this kind of labor, i They
requested their time and said they
would work no longer for the de
partment. Because of their refu
sal two of them, it is alleged, were
bound hand and foot and literally
thrown in the guard house. Af
ter being forced to remain immo
vabli for three hours their bonds
were finally removed; Their
comrades, indignant at the treat
ment accorded their fellow work
men, refused to obey the order to
break stone for the same reasons
and were given theirtime. When
they went to the office of Captain
Stafford for their pay they were
not only "cursed out of the office,"
to use the language, contained in
the statement, but placed under

Washington, "July 80. Rear
Admiral Kimberley, who was
named as one of the members of
the court of inquiry which is to
investigate the charges agaiust the
conduct of Rear Admiral W. S.
Schley in the West Indian cam
paign during the Spanish-American
war, has written to Secretary
Long requesting to bereuevptl
from the duty of serving
mberley breached . the
navy: d apartment his- morning
and the admiral is .said to have
made the request because of con
tinued ill health. The communi
cation was not made public. No
action baa as yet been taken in
the matter, but it is stated at the
navy department that the admiral I
will, in all probability, berelieved
and some one named to serve in
his place. The other officers whose
name3 have been , considered- in
connection with the appointment
to the court of inquiry are Admi
rals Luce and Ramsey,; either of
whom may be named by Mr. Long
to fill the place -made vacant by
the declination of Admiral Kim
berley. Whether or not the navy
department has received a final
reply from Admiral Schley to the
letter of the secretary; officially
making known to him the appoint
ment of a court of inquiry as re
quested is not certain. Secretary
Long and his subordinates decline
to discuss the matter or make any
statement 'concerning it. It is
learned, however,- that Admiral
Schley communicated with the de
partment officials asking that his
