Never heard him say so. My under

That impression might have been

Can't you qualify your first state

THE SMALLPOX SITUATION.

The city health officer made rath-
er long report as to the smallpox situa-
ton, insubstance as follows: We have
had three new cases this week and two
of them have occurred In such way
as to make it imperative that We have
a house of detention. The two spoken
of are children and in each case their
moth rs are widows and there are two
or three more children in each family,
so you see it makes too large party
to take to the pest-hOuse. L was In
quite q dilemma to know what to do
with them a. first, but as luck would
have it found out that the two faml-
lies we're related, go sent the two chill
dren out and one of the mothers with
them and the balance OF the children
to the other woman's house. One OF
the greatest troubles we have is the
lack of room. We only have three
rooms at present and they are full, and
the Lord only knows what We would do
If there we're any more patients re-
ported to us. OF these three rooms
Walter Bird occupies one room, the
three Mexicana the other, and the

Spain is disposed to cling desperately to

Philippines Question

Senator Burrows of Michigan was at the
War Department today. Speaking of the
tuation as respects the terms of peace
the Senator said that he had no means of
judging what would be the prevailing SEN
tInent OF the Senate as to the treaty of
peace, as he had had no conversation with
any of his colleagues on the subject re-
Gently. 'As for myself, don't care to go
very deeply into discussion of the sub
ject at this time, but, in general terms. /
take this view of it:
we must have absolute possession Of
Porto Rico, and Spain must relinquish COM
pletely her sovereignty over Cuba We
should retain permanently the Island Of
Porto Rico. Toward Cuba we will act in
good faith and with perfect justice giving
TO the people of the island free and in
dependent government as soon as fl can be
established. We must see TO it that good
and stable government is esta blished and.
OF course, the future will derend upon the
aii.ity OF the people Of Cuba to govern
themselves. the United States giving them
all possible assistance lad every cppor-
tunity to maintain themselves as a free and
independent people.
"AS to the Philippines | do not be1fave
that we want the entire group of islands
with its several nillioa Of semi -barbarous
people In my opinion, we should retain
one entire island-the Lest in the whole
group for our purposes--absolutely as or
own for naval station and commercial
base; Our ownership of ne entire island
should be absolutely complete with no
vestge of Spanish infiue.tce anywhere upon

command of the new camp to be establish
ed at Montauk Point, Long Island, for the
benefit of the troops which are to be re-

FAMILY TROUBLES
Mystery Attending the Princess Departure
for Copenhagen.
Rumors in London That She and the
Prince Have Had a Dis
aEreemcnt.

LONDON, August 3-There appears to
be some mystery in connection with the de-
parture of the Princess of Wales for sCopen-
hagen. 1t is semi-ofically reaffirmed that
her leaving England Is due to the illness Of
her mother, the Queen Of Denmark; but two
denials of her majesty's illness have been
received from Copenhagen, and rumors are
current that the princess has had another
disagreement with the Prince of Wales,
similar to the quarrel which took the prin-
cess abroad for some months in 1S93
She then threatened to summon a family
council to meet at Copenhagen and to ex-
pose the whole domestic situation.

Queen of Denmarks sickness by a telegram
from Athens this afternoon saying that her
son, the King of Greece leaves there at 6

Oh the terms of negotiation before a treaty
OF peace has been drawn up and signed by

having the treaty announced before the

result in political divisions and be made
an issue in the campaign, thus preventing
the matter from being considered dispas-

for political advantage on one side or the

FROM SUPERIOR TO EUROPE.
Prediction That Roats VIII Soon BE
Able to Make Such a Course.


WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, August 3-The
largest whaleback ever built, the steamer
Alexander McDougaIl, has left the slip at
the barge works and gone TO the Missabe
ere docks to load with 6.0o0 tons of ore for
her maiden trip down the great lakes.
Captain McDougall, the inventor of the
whaleback, is of the opinion that boats
will soon be going direct from Superior to
Europe. He says:
Next year the new Canadian canal will
be opened and it will offer a broader field
for lake carriers. Boats carrying 1000 to
2,200 tons will be able TO go direct from Du-
luth to Montreal and Quebec, and thence
to England and European ports. The new
canal will permit of the passage of boats
2io feet long and drawing fourteen feet of
water. Vessels Of this type can sail on the
lakes during the season OF navigation, and
can then go to the sea and remain there
in commission all winter when freight
lates on the ocean will demand II. Within
the next five years 1 expect to see feet
of at least 100 boats of this class trading
between Duluth and European ports"

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. August "A
special to the Chronicle from Cavite, dated

There are rine little Spanish gunboats

stormed Admiral Dewey will turn his at
tention to their capture or destruction. AS
near as can be ascertained, they are dis
tributed as follows: In the Pasig river,

at zamboanga. gunboat Pampanga: at Blal-
abac gunboat Calamanes: at Ponape Car

largest and best Admiral Dewey planned
to send the Baltimore after her some tine
ago, but decided, in view of the danger OF
a second feet coming from Spain, that IL
wculd be well to keep his defense intact
Il Is probable that two or the vessels sunk
by Dewey's heet may yet be raissd and
rendered serviceable.
