Of warshipe His Firm Is Building.
WASHINGTON, Dec 2a-There have been
no developments In the Chilian episode, but
a number Of rumors have been set at rest by
positive statements from high officials OF
tho government. The sensational report
that had been made TO move 10000 troops
by transports in order TO place them on
Chihan soil 'very soon after war Is formally
declared was read with much amusement
by Acting Secretary Of War Grant
Not Plan for Moving Troops.
ut seem hardly necessary % deny such a
story, said General Grant, ssbut you may as
well say that il is utterly without founda-
ton. Not a plan has been formed for NOV
ing troops with the Chilian episode in view,
nor has single soldier been detailed for
any special duty as the result Of this 80
called war cloud The talk Is an nonsense
and these reports are worse than idle ru-
mora-
The Possibility Not Even Considered.
'"rhe statement that General Miles had
been selected 10 command the land forces
in case Of war with Chilli h equally ridicu-
lons The department has not even con
sidered the possibility Of conflict with
Chill, and Of course has not considered the
appointment Of any officer TO command the
army IN such an emergency. The only war

Mr. Cramp the naval contractor, who Is
in this city, says;
In spite Of the reports 70 the contrary /

partment 70 hurry up the work on the naval
vessels now hnilding at my yard In fact,
Commodore Wilson, the chief constructor,
who went over to Philadelphia on Saturday
70 inspect the progress Of the naval work,

HEontt Calls Upon Bialne.
Senior Montt the Chilian minister, called

intimated that he was approached On the
other hand, Mr. Brown telegraphs from To
ledo reaflirning his statement and stating
that he has witness who oorroborates all
that he has said.
What sherman's Friends Say.
The friends of Mr. Sherman are noneo1n.
INITIAL, further than to denounce a state
ment calculated to carry with it a reflection
upon the honorable manner in which the
contest has been conducted on behalf Of Mr..
Sherman They say the circulation Of such
falsehoods is only calculated to smirch the
honorable character Of Senator Sherman
and at the same time contribute to the sue.
cess Of his rivsl, ex Governor Foraker.
Chairman Hahn, Of the Republican state
executive committee, said:
mo man ever offered 81, 200 or Eve cents
for a vote for Mr.. Sherman. No man au-
thorized to speak for Mr. Sherman ever
thought Of making such a proposition Mr..
Sherman never did nor ever will be guilty
