into the sea on the first opportunity rider than THE Undersigned have received instructions suffer further brutality at the hands of the officers. They even state that they will forego all wages due, rather than step on the vessel again.

The matter is now in the hands of Consul. General Miller, who as representative of the United States Government, took the lestimony of the men, and just what steps be will take is known yet The Consul sent Dr. Jones as his representative aboard the Atlas last night, to examine the men now aboard, many of whom signed a paper to the effect that they would testily as to the state of affairs during

the voyage.

Albert Kneipp, an able-bodied seaman aboard the 'Atlas, when interviewed, stated that the second mate, shortly after they hari left New York beat him with a rope and ordered him to work faster, and that on several occasions afterwards the same mate brutally punched him on the face and kicked him all over the hody. Kozipp admitted that this was his first voyage as a sailor, and would certainly be his last. When he signed the article in New York, he was not asked whether he was a sailor or not. During the voyage, it was no unusual thing for the second mate to throw belaying pins at himself and other members of the crew. For food, he stated, they got but about 2 ounces. of salt beef a day. Their allowance of water- was about a pint. The captain also struck him on the head so that he could not turn around fur two days, and on many occasions. he threatened to string him up to the yard arm. At night they stole the hard biscuits which were thrown to the chickens, such was their hunger. When I asked to see the American Consul, siid Kneipp, the captain put me in irons together with several others of the crow and strung us up in the sail room, so that we were compelled to stand up day and night until released this morning. I will jump over board first rather than return to the "Atlas"

"Otto Witte, a German citizen, who was an able-odied seaman on board the 'Atlas, said: 'I have been to sea fourteen years, and I have never received such treatment as received aboard the "Atlas." Why, only two months ago, the captain held a pistol at my head and told me I would never see my country again, and he then threatened to kill me. Up till the inst two weeks of the voyage we never got enough to eat, and the second and third mates were always beating me. I could not speak a word of English when 1 shipped on the Atlas," and one day because fomilled to say "Sir" the accood mate seized me by the throat

and almost choked me, and on another occasion

the third mate drew a kaile and threatened to kill me. One day I did not understand an order the third máte gave, when he rushed at me and struck.me with a belaying pia. "Don't kill him yet, the captain shouted to the mate, "I want to make a man out of him before be dies." We were repeatedly beat with the rope's end to make us run and work faster, and nearly all the men have black eyes and want to leave the ship. This sailer.corrobo rated the statement of the other in regard to sbort rations and scarcity of water.

"Bernard Griel, another German sailor aboard the Atlas, stated: "The captain and the first mate struck me repeatedly on the face, and strung me up when in irons until my toes just touched the ground, a one occasion I was in that position for 5 hours: when the captain came up to me end kicked me repeatedly. The second mate always used a rope or stick on us when we "spun the Capstan."
