ACCIDENT ON THE IoWA.
Little Can be Learned Owing to Re-
 ttcence of Officers.

New York. Sept. 4.--An accident oo- cured on the battleship Iowa yesterday in drydock No at the Brooklyn navy yard, the extent of which could not be learned on account of reticence of off, cers at the yard. It was reported that the engine roms of the Iowa were part ly flooded by the entrance of water through an open seacock as the ship was being fioated. As near as could be learned from the stories afioat last night the officials got ready to float the Iowa in the drydock, where she has been for the last three or four days, and the valves in the end of the draydock were dpened. The water poured in through the valves and, at least one of the seacock or injection valves, in the Iowa's hull was either open or insecurely fastened, so that the force from the outside pushed the cock valve back and the water gushed into the hull of the vessel.
 As soon as those on board the Iowa discovered that the water was entering the ship signal was given to close the caisson valves and this was done with as great promptness as possible. Meanwhile there was sufficient water in the dock to enter the engine room of the battleship, as it was impossible to promptly forced the cock shut, with the water going in. As soon as possible the cocks were closed and an examination made of the damage. Just what this amounts to will not be known until to- day. It was said that not enough water was let into the dock to come anywhere near floating the ship and that she is resting on her keel blocks the same as she was before the water was turned on. The pumping of the water out of the dock is matter of only short time and the officers seen would not admit that any accident had taken place,

4 TRIPLE DROWNING.
Two Brothers and sister Who Were on
 a Holiday Visit.

Stamford, Sept. 4.-Frank, George and Mabel Ferguson, aged twenty-four, nineteen and fourteen years respective ly, and whose home was at 449 Carleton avenue, Brooklyn, were drowned by the upsetting of a rowboat In pond, about a mile off Ncroton Island, this morning, and Chester Johnson son of c. w. Johnson of New York city, the other member of the party, was rescued in an unconscious condition. The bodies of the drowned persons have not yet from Brooklyn last night Lo spend Sum- day and Labor day with New York friends, who were in camping party on one of the islands. This morning with Chester Johnson, son of their host and hostess, they went out row. ing to Wallack Islands and called on other friends.
 They were returning home with one of the Fergusons rowing, when Johnson proposed to relieve him. While chang ing positions the boat tipped consider ably to one side and shipped considera- ble water This apparently caused some confusion, as the party seemed to change their positions to the other side, and this with the force of the water that had been shipped caused the boat to upset. Frank and Will Platt, two young New Workers, who are also stopping on one of the islands, were out in a sailboat and saw the confusoin, but thought at first the party was playing.
 They lost no time in hastening to- wards them, however, when they saw the accident. Frank put out in yawl and when nearby threw out fife pre- servers. Frank Ferguson and Johnson were the only ones visible and before Platt could reach him the second Fer guson brother disappeared and he did not appear on the surface again. John son managed to secure one of the life preservers and kept himself afloat until the yawl reached him. and he was taken to the sailboat in an exhausted condi- tion. Johnson is eighteen years of age and weighs about 200 pounds The up- setting of the boat was witnessed by several parties on the islands, including the parents of Johnson.

 sidered n Smart Device

b

The newspapers, it is said, will be permitted to indulge in flair comment" upon the proceedings In the cortes, unless the tactics of the opposi- tion compel the government to resort to secret sittings. The decision to call 100000 recruits to the ranks is regard ed as smart device to keep the young CT men outside the Carlist movement.

DIR. JOHN HALL's RESIGNATION.

Not Likely to Cause More Trouble in
 Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church.
 New York Sept. 4.-There promises to be a healing of the breach between the wealthy members of the Fifth Ave- nue Presbyterian church caused by the resignation of Dr. John Hall, the ven- erable pastor of the church. pr. Hall was induced to withdraw his resigna- ton and the withdrawal caused num- ber of influential members to leave the church. One of the conditions made by Dr. Hall when he withdrew his resigna- tion was that he should be given an as- sistant and the congregation has been searching for one competent to be Dr. Halls successor upon his permanent re- tirement. There have been many applt- cants, and much influence has been brought to bear for this and that cler- gyman from all parts of the country But up to a week ago no one seemed to be satisfactory. Since that time a majority of the congregation has turn- ed toward Rev. Priton H. Hoge of Wil- mington, N c. No call has yet been extended to pr. Hose.

BEFORE THE BATTLE.
Movements of Anglo-Egytian Army
 Wednesday and Thursday.

London, Sept. 1.-The Daily Tele- graph issues special edition with the following details of the movements on Wednesday and Thursday telegraphed from Nasri: "This Wednesday, morn ing the Anglo Egyptian troops began the advance in three brigades side by side with front a mile wide, the army giving the impression of vast square, with faces each a mile long. Our cav airy occupied Jebel Sheikh Pail, three miles ahead, at o'clock, and an hour later our infantry arrived at the banks of the river which was flooded at that point fully mile inland Here the force halted, while the gunboats pro- ceeded. The cavalry, the camel corps, trotted forward, but only few scouts were seen under the command of Abdel Baki, Dervish Enir, who fell back rapidly without a contest
 "In a village we passed a number of charred and mutilated bodies of na- tives suspected of spying and killed by the Dervishes. At o'clock the Max inns fired few rounds, scat aring a body of Dervishes in the bush. Then there was a lull until noon, though the cavalry and camel corps were seven miles in advance, and in the rear of the low hills around Kerreri. The gum boats signalled that 800 Dervish horse men were moving west upon the Egyp- tion right, and the Lancers, on the left, trotted to intercept the enemy, the camel corps supporting. But the Der wishes slipped back to their camp in the bush a mile inland, a camp consist ing of an old redoubt at Kerreri. The Lancers advanced through the hill passes and got within mile of Kerre- ri. Then two officers went ahead to discover that there were many flags in the Dervish camp. They were fired up- on and eventually the entire mounted force returned to Sur -Uram, inside of Zereba.
 During the afternoon the gunboats shelled the Dervish camp for several hours, apparently doing much damage A number of Dervisnes who had fled to the bush to escape the shells sur rendered during the evening. Among ] the refugees were the Sheikh of Kerre- ri and a grandson of Kurshid Pasha

PRESIDENTS QUIET SUNDAY.
Attends Church at Patterson, N. J.
 With Mrs. Hobart.

Paterson, N. J., Sept. 4-President Mckinley spent very quiet day here. He attended morning services at the Church of the Redeemer in company with Mrs. Hobart. In anticipation of his attendance the church was well filled, and after the services the presi- and large number of members of the congregation. Owing to the intense heat of the afternoon the president re- mained quietly at the home of Vice President Hobart until o'clock, when he went for a drive with Vice President and Mrs. Hobart. A number of curious persons had been lettering around the house all the afternoon to catch a sight of the president, and when he emerged he was greeted with a, cheer.
 As the carriage containing the presf- dent and vice president was driven through East Side park it encountered an immense crowd, assembled there to hear the concert of the Second regiment band The presidential party was im- media tely recognized, the band struck up the presidents march and the crowd made a rush for the side of the drive Park rules were forgotten and the crowd trampled down the grass and flower beds alike in their anxiety to get a glimpse of the executive The car riage was forced to such a slow pace that a number of persons were enabled to grasp the presidents hand. Leav- ing the park, followed by cheers from the people, the president was taken to the North Jersey Country club and shown over the house and grounds. This evening was spent quietly at the vice presidents residence.

TROOPS TO BE TRANSPORTED A

Probably at the Rate of 5000 or 4,OOO n
 Their HOmes-Eight Deaths Yesterday
 Water to be Examined by an Ef-

hcIent OnCors
 Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, L. l., Sept. 4.-This great camp will dissolve during the three coming weeks and by, October 1t will have shrunk to slender proportions. The we'll men, according to the war departments plan, will leave camp as soon as transportation can be conveniently provided probably at the rate of 5000 to 400 a week. The conva- lescents from the hospitals instead of being sent again into camp will go to their homes. The president, Secretary Alger and General Wheeler had talk about it yesterday and although Gen. eral Wheeler thought the men would do well in camp until October 1, it was de- termined to continue sending the men away. The regulars taken from posts east of the Mississippi will, according to the presidents directions, be sent to where they were before the war The war department has not transmitted the order to General Shafter yet, but it will no doubt be received by Tuesday. Eight deaths occurred to-day.
 
 General Wheeler said that Lieuten- ant Coloned Smart of the medical staff of the army had come to chemically ex- anime the water supplied to the camp. He was at the top of his profession and would in two or three days be able to give absolutely authoritative decisision as to the purity of the water. People had an idea that the water comes from the fresh water pond. General Wheeler said they were mistaken. The water was drawn from wells two hundred and three hundred feet deep. Women passing through the camp were dis pleased that some tents did not have floors and fancied that the men must sleep on the ground. They were wrong in supposing that. In tents without floors were wooden hunks or thicker straw. As for himself, General Wheel said, he liked the camp better every day and would like to live in it until October 1.

an Important Alliance.

London, Sept. 1.-The Manila corre- spondent of the Times telegraphing Sunday says: Regular trains will be- gin to run on the Manila -Dagupan rail- way tomorrow. General Aguinaldo re- fused to permit repairs to the line and establishment of train service ex- cept upon the significant condition that no foreign troops were to be conveyed. To-day he effected an important alli- ance with the Santiagoesia party in the northern provinces of Pangasinan and Zambales. This party commands five thousand armed troops and has hither- to resisted General Aguinaldo's pre- tensions to dictatorship.
 There are active movements among the insurgents everywhere north of Manila Vigan has lately been occu- pied and campaign has been directed against Bamaran, where the Spanish are supposed to be concentrated The insurgents are in possession of the whole of Laguna bay except single Spanish position. This does not sup port the stories of serious disaffection among the insurgent leaders, although Aguinaldo's unpopularity is undoubt- edly increasing. He Is evidently using every effort to secure a recognition at the Hispano-American peace confer ence in Paris of the revolutionary gov ernment. His army doubtless numbers over thirty thousand men well armed and equipped.
