squadron to European waters were go
ing on uninterruptedly, but that the
departure necessarily would await the
arrival of the warships at Porto RICO,
the Massachusetts and other ships be-
ing required for conveying the troops
to Porto Rico. This disposed OF re-
port circulated during the day that the
expedition had been abandoned. 1t was
felt that the report was the more mis-
chievous at this time as it indicated
a purpose to yie,d to tie implied thre ats
frcm European sources that a coalition
would result from an expedition to the
Spanish coast. Neither the navy nor
state department look for any embar-
rassment from European quarters out
side of Spain as result of the naval
movement against the coast of the
peninsula.
During the day orders were sent to
Norfolk to hurry forward work on the
colliers which are to accompany the
Watson expedition. Had the army
troop ships been able to go to Porto
Rico without a naval convoy the Wat
son squadron could have got away
within the next few days, as the war

inaries by next Saturday. But as the
battleship Massachusetts, cruisers Co
lumbia, Cincinnati, Dixie and Yale, to-
gether with several lesser craft. were
considered necessary as a patrol for the
Miles expedition, this changes the
plans slightly. The Dixie is almost
certain to be in the Watson squadron,
and the Massa achusetts is likely to he.
Secretary Long expressly says, how
ever, that the delay of the Watson
squadron Is incident to conveying the
troops to Porto Rico, and does not mean
that the start will be postponed until
the Porto Rico operations are con-
cluded.
The report from Barcelona that the
people were so fearful of the approach
of the Watson squadron that they were
urging France to establish a protec-
torate over all the Catalonia district,
including Barcelona, was dismissed by
officials and members of the diplomatic
corps best Informed on the affairs cf
France as fantastic speculation quite
unwarranted by any actual movement
now on foot. 1t is said to be thoroughly
well established that France is not
lending helping hand to Spain in any
of her Affections.

FOUR WOMEN DROWNED
FATAL OUTCOME OF A SWIMMING
PARTY AT MORTON

Two of the Victims Caught In
Whirlpool in the Minnesota Riv-
er, and the Other Two Gave Their
Lives Also In an Attempt Mt Res
Pathetic and Heroic Features.
REDWOOD FALLS, Mimi, July q.
-(Special.)-A swimming party in the
Minnesota river at Morton, RenviIle
county, this afternoon, resulted in a
quadruple drowning, the victims all
being young women between the ages
of nineteen and twenty-one. Those
drowned were:
BARBARA GALLE
RACHAEL GAI4LE.
MARTHA LORENZ.
ALVINA REIZ.
The Misses Gale were sisters, the
daughters of Daniel Gale, of Morton.
Miss Reiz was a visitor at the place
where the tragedy occurred.
The affair in spite of its sadness is
not without it's heroic side. Two of
the girls ventured too near a dangerous
part Of the river and before they
realized their peril were caught in the
whirlpool. Their cries attracted the
other two, and though the danger must
have been appreciated, there was no
hesitation. They started to the rescue
Their efforts, however, were in vain,
and after a struggle to save the two
who were first imperiled the strength
of all became exhausted and all four
were drawn under by the treacherous
water.
An early alarm was given and hun
dreds of people crowded to the banks
of the river. 1t was too late to at
tempt work of rescue, but there were
eager volunteers in the search for the
bodies. In about half an hour all four
had been recovered and despairing eff
forts were made to restore life, but to
no avail.
In it's pathetic, it's tragic and it's
heroic features the drowning is unique.
though the Minnesota river at various
times has claimed many victims.

Among the things of which Gen.

Inspection of Wrecked Spanish
Ships in Manila Bay.


NEW YORK, July 21.-A correspond
ent, writing from Cavite, Manila, July
12, relates the result of an inspection
of the hulls of the Spanish warships
sunk in Manila by the squadron of Ad-
miral Dewey. The cruiser Relna Chris
tina shows the most complete destruc-
ton. The course of the Olympia's
eight-inch shell is clearly traced by
line of ruin extending from her stern
to her waist. All her woodwork is to-
tally destroyed. There are very few
large shot holes through her hull, the
principal ones being from a six-inch
shell amidship, and from four-inch
shells. Charred human remains were
seen in several places. A large heap
of remains near where the ladder stood
shows that rush to escape was made
by the engineer force. All were lost
as the matches to engine and fire rooms
were closed. The cruiser Castillo was

The property is very valuable and

many other valuable pieces of land.
The rents from the property are
estimated at over $1,000 a month

it an amount not to be despised.
