A SEVERE REPRIMAND
Administered to Civil Engineers
Menocal and White,
BY SECRETARY OF THE NAVY HERBERT.
They Were Responsible for the Dry
Dock Accident a, the New York
Navy Yard Last August
No Court Martial.

WASHINGTON, Nov s.-Secretary
Herbert has severely reprimanded
Civil Engineers Menocal and White, as
responsible for the dry dock accident
at the New York navy yard last August,
but has declined to court martial those
officers
In a letter sent Mr.. Menocal the
secretary says that in view of that off.
GERS long and faithful service he
would not court martial him, but the
findings of the court of inquiry are
approved and the department "repro-
bates" Menocal's conduct.
Mr.. White, whose responsibility was
in less degree, was similarly repro
bated."
Constructor Bowles, on whom an eff
fort was made to shift the blame, was
exonerated.
The accident for which the repri-
mand was made occurred last August
to the caisson of dry dock No. 2. Ger
tain repairs were required which
called for the removal of portion of
the loose stone ballast in the caisson.
Civil Engineer A. G. Menocal, as
senior civil engineer at the yard, had
charge of the work, the manner of its
performance, etc, and he had special
charge of the work, as he took thatup-
on himself, being in the habit of divid-
ing the work in the yard with his as
sistants.
He made certain calculations to
satisfy himself as to the safety of do
ing the work as he proposed, and he
asked Naval Constructor Bowles for
his professional opinion on the same
subject. Mr.. Bowles assured him that
in his opinion it was perfectly safe,
and Mr.. Menocal ordered the work
performed.
The calculations of Mr. Menocal
were made by assuming the weight of
the caisson. The testimony shows
that theoretically, from the calcula-
tions made Mr.. Menocal, before and
since the accident occurred, there was
margin of safety. The caisson coll
lapsed by reason of all instead OF a
portion of the stone ballast being re-
moved, and several vessels In the vi
cinity were injured.

RUINOUS FLOODS
Continue in ths Occur d'tlene Mountain
I'm Idaho.


WALLACE, Idaho, Nov. io.-Ruin is
continuing in the Occur d'Alenes.
Down the mountain gorges foods have
oeen raging since Sunday morning,
creating havoc every where. OF six
railroads intersecting Wallace upon
only one can trains be operated,
while the best residence portion of
wallace is a scene of desolation.
Buildings have been swept away and
their places occupied by driftwood,
while two blocks have the soil washed
on to bedrock, covered with gravel or
lying bare. Fifty thousand dollars
would not more than recoup the town
Tor Placer creeks pranks. The
railroad loss may be as much more in
the whole district, while no estimate
can yet be made of private losses in
other places or the loss ON country
roads and bridges All the big mines
Will have to shut down before the rail-
roads are ready to move concentrates
Many miles of Northern Pacific track
are washed out in this vicinity, and sew
eral bridges have been washed away.
Kingston, down below the junction
of the south and north forks of the
Occur d'Alene, is reported all afioat.
The town sits on low land without

The LATE ALLIANCE
Entered Into Between the Demo-
cratic and Populist Parties
PROMISES TO BECOME DISRUPTED.
7 C. Bateman, Late Popuiist Candi-
date for Governor OF Maine, Maps
Out the Future Programme of
His Party.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia times special
from Lewiston, Me-, says:
Every indication that the alliance
which existed between the populist
and democratic parties during the re-
cent national campaign can no longer
exist. l.. c. Bateman, who was the
,,onulist candidate for governor. is
CONSTANTLY in communication with the
leaders of the "middle-of-the-road
ronulists, and they declare in the most
amnbatic terms that the fusion be-
tween the two parties shall no longer
exist.
Mr.. Bateman was asked what would
be the future of the populist party
He said;
BRYAN and his issue are done for
Had he boldly planted himself upon
the full populisJ platform he would
have a future He did not have the
nerve to do this, and he is lost. Dam
tel Webster made the same blunder so
wears ago, and with similar re-
suits. The money question has
been started with mild demand
for free coinage of silver; it
will end with the decentralization of
gold. This is the mission of the peo-
pies party We shall demand the utter
overthrow of the whole metal basis
system and the establishment of a
purely scientific paper currency, based
upon the entire wealth of the country.
I'VE shall demand the government
ownership of the railroad, telegraph
and telephone lines Direct legislation
will also be one of our important de-
msnds.
II look to see, with the passage of a
silver bill by the republicans, the sill
yer democrats uniting with the gold
wing of the party and going back to
their old position of opposition party. ;
Only this and nothing more.
The populists are the coming par
tv. Watson will be our great
leader four years hence. The pres
ent fusion managers have made
a mess of it, and are thorough
ly discredted by the rank and
file. who will have nothing more to do
with them. Some of them will go into
the democratic party, and the rest
will be sent to the rear. Their policy
has been tried and found sadly want
ing. These men will never lead our
party into disgrace again"

the Cause of spain.
NEW YORK, Nov. l9.-The Madrid
correspondent of the journal cables
that at no time since the Cuban war
broke out has Spanish patriotism been
at such a white heat. The language
of the press is so trerchant and reso-
Lutte that it is clear that the great crisis
in SPANS destinies is at hand.
The ministry has been feeling the
pulse of every chancellerie in Europe
to find blood that beat with SPANS.
But there is none. France is tied up
with Russia and Russia is America 3
friend. Germany's commercial inter
ests and England's policy keep both
from siding with Spain. Italy goes
with England, and Spain is left to go
alone.
