PERSISTENTLY DENIED.
There Is No Truth In Report Tint Ad-
miraI Dewey Has Been Ask
Ing for Help.

New York, Sept. Is. = a special to
the Times from Washington says:
Despite the repeated denials of
both the navy and the army depart
menrs many papers continue publish
ing dispatches from this city stating
that Admiral Dewey is asking for help
and that the administration will send
so his assistance Immediately two bat
tleships. These reports are beginning
TO annoy the department officials as
well as the president. There is no
truth in them, according to Assistant
Secretaries Allen and Meikcljohn.
Admiral Dewey has not asked for aid
at all at any time. lie has, on the other
hand, repeatedly assured the navy de-
partment that there is no trouble to
be feared in the Philippines, and that
he ana Gen. Otis are quite able to take
care of any question that may arise.
Assistant Secretary Allen said Wednes-
day afternoon that there Is abso-
lutely no truth in the report that the
department is contemplating sending
battlcships, or any ships at all, to the
Philippines to aid the admiral.

THE DEAD EMPRESS.
Arrival of the Funeral Train In VI.
enna-Biessing of the
Remains.

Vienna, Sept. 16.-The funeral train
arrived at ten o'clock Thursday even
ing. Prince Won Liechtenstein, the
chief court marshal, the officers OF
the general staff and a military guard
of honor were waiting at the railway
station, which was heavily draped
with crepe. The clergy having blessed
the remains, the procession started
for the hofburg. The whole route was
lined with troops, and immense crowds,
bareheaded, stood silently watching.
The soldiers presented arms MS the
procession passed. The streets were
imposingly decorated. On reaching
the hofburg the remains were trans
ferred to the chapel. Emperor Fran
els Joseph, with the principal mourn
ers, had driven from Schonbrunn to
the chapel to attend the ceremony of
blessing the body.
The emperor's coming had been kept
a secret from the people. lie was ac-
companied by his daughters and his
sons-in-law. After the benediction all
departed except the emperor and the
relatives, who remained along with the
beloved dead until shortly before mid
night, when they returned to Schon-
brunn. All the festivities in connec-
tion with the jubilee of Emperor Fran
els Joseph have been completely aban-
doned. The emperor will spend six
months in almost absolute retirement,
only attending TO state business and
not going even for the usual autumn
deer shooting.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Trcmendous
pressure is still being brought to bear
on the war department to have moro
troops mustered out Of the service.
Efforts in this direction, however, are
of no avail. 1t Is announced with in
creased emphasis that there will be no
more troops mustered out. The situa-
tion does not admit of any further
reduction in the army, and efforts are
being made to put those volunteers
who are retained in the service as near
as possible TO the footing of the regu-
lars in the matter of drill and disci-
pine. An effort is being made to eradi-

Plum run. They are rigging up
this week and will begin spudding
Monday.
The Hickman Oil company be-
gan spudding at their Hickman
heirs No. I. This we'll is adjoin-
ing the Meredith farm in the Jug
pool and is being drilled by Smith,
Boeshar and others.
The result of the well on the
Henthorn will not interfere as it is
believed by the talent that its loca-
ton was a little out of line with the
trend of the pool to the southwest.
At least nothing definite will be-de-
cided before the same company's
No. 3 and q on the same lease are
drilled in. They are the ones to
tell the tale.
1t has always been said that even
a dry hole in that field counts for
nothing as far as any drilling being
done is concerned.
Middlebourne, Jan. 20, 1897.
special to the Review.
Nothing of any startling char
acter has been developed in this
section of the great southwest since
our last letter from this place, and
the lapse or time has only tended to
mark the defnate character that the
field has shown up.
Notwithstanding the fact that a
few skeptical writers have endeav'
ored to write the Elk Fork field
among the "has beens" there is a
remarkable show of tenacity,in that
particular locality. or in more def
nate terms the Elk Fork field is
holding on in way that cannot but
dispel any doubts as to its being a
"stayer."
Indeed, if the halcyon days of the
southwest field is a thing of the
past, we might say, "Well, there
are Others" and level your index
finger with pride in the direction of
Centerville, where we predict Elk
Fork will find its double or perhaps
a competitor that will carry off the
big bunch of laurels before many
months have elapsed.
At Piney Fork the South Penn
company are seeking the Gordon at
twelve new locations, while in
their big gasser on the David Gun
bingham farm they have gem that
outrivals the Big Moses by big
odds. This we'll has a pressure
that can not be tested, but without
doubt is the strongest gas we'll
that can pc found in the history of
the oil country.
Across the county down in Elk
Lick this company opened some un-
defined territory and to their profit
and loss column may make an en-
tree of fine dry holes. One 20 bar
rel we'll, with two in the sand and
no showing, and topped off with a
gasser on the Weekly farm of 500
pounds pressure.
This little squirt of activity in that
locality was introduced by the Jen-
nings company drilling on line
property.
At Stringtown second bunch of
locations are being rushed to COM
pletion ON the Ball, Stackpole, Cor
rell, Wyatt and Lemasters farms.
However, the locations are all on
territory that are quite we'll defined
and the probabilities are that they
will never furnish any news of a
startling nature for our readers.
This company tapped the pay at
their G. w. Mcintyre early this
week and she started the ball roll
ing by making a flow that tore
away half the side of a $50 barrel
tank, but she tanned down after the
first flow and will make a good 50
barrel we'll.
