GREAT SORROW
OF MRS. BOTKIN
Overwhelmed With Grief Over
Cummings Departure for :.
the Sect OF Wdr.

Mrs. Loretta Simpson, landlady Of the
Victoria Hotel preceding MRS Price, who
succeeded her in last April, swears that
Mrs. Botkin applied for rooms at that
house two or three months before the
transfer, and was given a room on the
third floor, opposite that of ]. p. Dun
ming. Mrs. Botkin introduced Dunning as
her cousin. They only breakfasted at the
hotel. Mrs. Botkin represented herself
as a newspaper woman. Inquiry was
made of Mrs. Nye, a lodging-house keeper
on California street, as to the reputation
of Mrs. Botkin, who had had room IN
her house. Mrs. Nye spoke very highly
of Mrs. Botkin.
Mrs. Botkin and Dunning came up to-
gether to the Victoria, after having Sc
rent in advance. Cumming was in the
house only a week when he received q
telegram to go to Cuba The next morn
ing Mrs. Botkin was very much excited,
crying and going on at great rate, say
ing she thought that would be the last of
Dunning, that he surely would be killed.
She seemed very much worried and was
almost crazy about his going away.
Mrs. Montgomery, who was introduced
as a cousin of Mrs. ,Botkin, came to con-
sole her. She remarked that she did not
see what Mrs. Botkin could see in Dun
ning.'' Mrs. Botkin went on Historically
before Cummings departure and seemed
very much infatuated with him. Dunning
came to Mrs. Simpson with tears IN his
eyes and asked her to be good and kind
to Mrs. Botkin. After he left Mrs. Simp-
son heard of nothing but the war and
Cuba from Mrs. Botkin.

WASHINGTON COAL
FOR SAN FRANCISCO
Fairfax Mines East Of Tacoma to Be
Developed on a Large
Scala

TACOMA, Sept. 14.-Increased demand
for coal on the Pacific Coast. particularly
at San Francisco, has led to the open
ing Of the Fairfax mines, forty miles
east of Tacoma. They are owned by
the American Development Company, Of
which H. w. Mcneil, formerly general
manager Of the Oregon Improvement
Company, is president. The product of
the veins now being opened. consisting
of domestic and steam Goals, will be
shipped to San Francisco, beginning in
October. The mines will produce 1000 tons
daily at first. which will later be in
creased to 1900 tons. Other veins pro-
duce blacksmithing and coking coal, and
will be opened next year, when an i'm
mense coke-making plant is to be built.
A one-eighth mile branch. Of the Northern
Pacific Railway is being constructed
from Carbonate to the Fairfax mines,
laid out.
Everything is being done on large
scale. funds for development being fur
nished by British capitalists, who are
part-owners with President Mcneil of the
British Columbia anthracite mines at
Banff. Mcneil is one Of the most prom
inent coal men on the Pacific Coast. In
shipping and mining circles 1t Is predict
ed that his operation will result in lessen
ing shipments of British Columbia and
Australian Goals to San Francisco.
1t is understood in shipping circles
that the company is considering the adj
visibility of using barges for carrying
coal down the coast.

this morning An enormous concourse of
people witnessed the ceremony. The cor
tege was led by the representatives Of the
Imperial Court, followed by the Federal
Council, headed by the President and the
Geneva Council. The firemen lined the
streets. The brilliant sunshine made a
striking contrast to the gloomy aspect OF
the mourners. The funeral train left here
at o'clock.
The funeral car was ornamented with
silver wreaths, surmounted by silver
cross and had white plumes at each cor
ner. The casket was Of polished oak, with
silver mountings. 1t was almost hidden

IOWA AND OREGON
WILL JOIN DEWEY

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE Herald's
Washington correspondent telegraphs:
Secretary Long informed me to-day
that the battleships Iowa and Oregon
are under orders to proceed to Manila
via Honolulu for the purpose of rein
forcing Admiral Dewey's command.
The Secretary's statement is con-
firmation Of the announcement made
by the Herald on Tuesday last that the
battleships would proceed to Manila.
the authorities were actuated by two
motives-first, by putting them in
central position, where they could be
available for any duty in Pacific wa
tiers which might be considered desir-
able; and second, because they did not
care to. send reinforcements to Rear
Admiral Dewey before the armistice
now in force between the United States
and Spain expired. 1t is expected in
official circles that the battleships and
five Golfers which will accompany
them will be ready to sail for the Pa
ciflc by Monday next.
While believing there will be no in
ternational developments to change the
programme, the authorities do not pro-
pose to be in such a position that they
cannot modify instructions to vessels in
case of necessity. And 1t Is for this
reason that they desire them to touch
at certain points, report their arrival
and receive any orders the department
may find 1t advisable to send them.
So far as Germany is concerned the au-
thorities say there Is nothing in the at
titude of that Government to cause a
belief that it proposes to interfere with
any disposition of the Philippines that
this Government may see fit to make.
1t is appreciated, however, that it will
be the part of wisdom for the United
States to put in the Pacific a force
which will be so formidable as to dis
courage even suggestion of interior
ence. It is for this reason that the Ore
gon and Iowa have been sent to join
Rear Admiral Dewey rather than be-
cause of any pressing emergency.

ST. THOMAS. D. W. l., Sept. lac

lives have been lost.
Guadalupe, the French island in the
Leeward group, has experienced very
heavy weather. Nineteen deaths are

A boat from the island OF St Vincent,
100 miles west of Barbados, arrived to-

ports that St. Vincent has experienced
the most violent and destructive cy-
clone ever known there.
Kingston, the capital Of St Vincent,

WASHINGTON, Sept. I.-Much sat
isfaction was expressed to-day over the
reports from Madrid that the lower
house Of Parliament had passed the
Government bill accepting the terms Of
the protocol.
The upper house already has passed
this measure, so that the last fear of
the legislative opposition Of the trans
fer Of Cuba, the Ladrones and Porto
Rico is over. The authorities here feel
that this carries them by a danger
point, as 1t has been feared for some
time that the animosities in the Span
ish Cortes would lead to the defeat of
the Sagasta Ministry on the question
Of evacuating the Spanish islands,
either In one branch or the other.
1t Is not doubted that the commits
sion will start the, negotiations at Paris
with the assertion that we have con-
Quered Spain in the Philippines, and
that Spanish sovereignty has already
been forfeited there. This will not,
however, necessarily signify that it is
the purpose of the administration to re-
islands, or to permanently deprive
spain VI dll ucI pOoScoSiollS al TIC q =
cific.
1t is not believed that the admiI1is-
tration has gone beyond the determine
ton to retain the whole Of the island
Of Luzon, but 1t is understood to be the
intention Of the President to establish
at the outset the right Of this Govern
ment to determine the fate of the is
lands.
The matter Of relinquishing possess
sion Of the rest Of the islands Is in
volved with so many conditions to be
considered that 1t Is realized that 1t
may by force of circumstances become
necessary to deprive Spain permanent
ly of all her possessions in that quar-
ter 1t is understood not to be a mat
ter Of policy to acquire all this terri
tory. but it may become necessity.
The commercial and trade side of the
question, as involving the development
and expansion of our commerce in the
Pacific, is occupying chief attention In
connection with determining our
policy,
