RUMORS YESTERDAY,
THAT NAVAL DEPARTMENT Hal
HEARD FROM SAMPSON
Win Port Antonio, jamaica, hut the
Department Would Make No State
ment About the Matter.

Washington, June 11.--There were ru-
mors at the navy department today that
cablegrams had been received from Samp
son via Port Antonio. Jamaica.
The foundation for these was probably
the arrival of the st. Louis off the coast of
Jamaica, leading to the natural impression
that she had brought dispatches from the
commander in chief of the blockading
squadron.
Inc department would make no statement
about these dispatches, and in fact, would
not ADMIT that any had been received, but
there is reason for the assumption that in
any case they related to nothing more in
portant than notice from SAMPSON that
certain ships had been designed to suppl >
n,eht the convoy for the troopships, and
also an announcement from the comma nder
ol the 81. Louis that he had captured a
prize.
The bulletin relative to Hobson's font
was posted this morning at the navy de-
par'mcht, showing that mail advices have
peeh received by the department from Ad-
mirai sampson, but the officials have moth
ing further to communicate than the fact
contained in the bulletin.

MR.. ANDREW CARNEGIE
WRITES THAT THE PRESENT WAR
WILL NOT LAST LONG.
Declines to Equip II body of High
innders for the Army on
that Account.

Chicago, June 11.-Andrew Carnegie, the
steel king. has sent the following COM
munication to the Scottish Hghlanders OF
Illinois, in answer TO their request asking
him to equip regiment OF Hlghlanders for
service in the war with Spain, the regi-
ment to be uniformed in Highland costume
at the expense of Mr.. Carnegie and to bear
his name:
"Iangham Hotel, London, Eng, May 80.
i don't believe that the war will last
long or ever reach the dignity of real
war. You will see Spain go all to pieces
soon, much sooner than you could get the
historic Highland army provided for the
regiment proposed.
IF the country were seriously threat
ened and needed stalwart men who could
be trusted to carry any position they We're
ordered upon. then / should consider the
matter.
Meanwhile | believe ! am honored by
the suggestion that a body OF my country
men from the center OF triumphant democ-
racy should think of connecting my name
with their regiment.
ANDREW Carnegie"
An effort will be made to organize the
regiment IL prospects for continuance Of
the war are shown.
