OUTBREAK At THE PRESIDE
TENNESSEEANS ATTEMPT TO

San Francisco, Aug. 15.-Dan Thomas,

block and a half from the Preside,
was almost wrecked.
Officers of the Tennessee regiment
finally sent the men back to quarters,
and took the bleeding negro to the
guard house for protection.
The trouble began in a saloon. Will
Davis, a private of company L, First
Tennessee regiment. was drinking in
the saloon. Five or six other soldiers
fire different regiments and the negro,
Thomas. were in the place.
According to the story told by Davis,
the negro approached him and asked
for a drink. Davis replied hat he a
no money, -whereupon the negro struck
Davis in the right eye with a set of
brass knuckles. The two closed in a
struggle until they were separated by
an Iowa private, who was in the sa-
Icon.

left the saloon and went to his home.

TENNESSEE CIoUDBURST.
Number of Victims Now Increased
to Thirty-two.

Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. 15.-AdditionaI
details relative to the terrible cloudburst
in Hawkins county last Friday morning
were received in this city tonight. 1t was
previously reported that 20 lives were lost
in the flood, but it is now estimated that
perhaps 90 persons became victims of the
d~ownpour from the skies. The report
states that the families of William and
Thomas Figan. William Tunnel and James
Conk were drowned. together with Pa
tience and Vance Morelock. John Arnold
and mother and Samuel Henry and wife.
The Figan family numbered Is lost, Figan
himself escaping. The report gives no
number of the members of the remaining
families. but ii is estimated that they
averaged at least four each, which would
bring the total number of lives lost up
TO 90. The families in that section are.
as a rule. very large. and this is. there
fore. considered a conservative estimate.
The damage 10 the crops is also believed
TO be much heavier than was at first re-
ported. Beach creek has risen out of it's
banks on an average of p feet, and whole
corn fields have been devastated. The
report also states that the cioudburst Wis
tied Green county, a distance of five
miles from the Beach creek section. and
killed from Is to 20 people in that sec
ton.
No reports have. however. been received
from that section to verify this state
ment, which comes direct from Rogers
Vile, the nearest point to Beach creek.

the Irish movement that eliminated in
the rebellion OF 179S. He founded the

SIMPSONS FLEET ON PARADE
WARSHIPS WILL MAKE A DIS
PLAY AT NEW YORK.
Will Steam Up North River as Far
as General Grants Tomb and Fire
a Salute.

Washington. Aug. 15.-The navy de-
partment is considering the project of
a naval review in New York harbor on
Saturday, when the battleships and
cruisers under Admiral Sampson ar
rive there. Efforts have been made to
induce the department to have a re-
view of the ships and a land review of
the sailors. 1t is probable that the
final decision will be to have the war
vessels go up the river to Grants tomb
at Riverside, and there fire a salute,
the trip up to the tomb affording the
public a sufficient opportunity to view
the ships without firing the sailors by
a land procession.
Admiral Sampson with the four big
battleships and two armored cruisers
Of his fleet is now on his way north,
having sailed at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning from Santiago. The naval
authorities expected the fleet at Temp

NAVY DEPARTMENTS ORDER.
The avy department decided during
the day to yield as far as practicable

MILITARY
Selections Have Been Made-Lee De-
clined to Serve.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The Post to-
morrow will a Y THE announcement
of the personnel of the military COM
missions for Cuba and Porto Rico
may now be expected at n time. The
president has practically determined
upon the military n naval officers
who will compose the commission 1t
is probable that the names will be as
follows:
Cuban Commission-Major General J.
T. Wade, Major General NJ. c. Butler
and Admiral w. T. Sampson.
Porto Rican Commission-Major
General John r. Brooke, Major General
Theodore Schwan and Admiral Win
field S. Schley.
1t will be noticed that the name of
Fitzhugh Lee does not appear in the
list of the Cuban commissioners.
The omission is not unintentional.
General Lee was originally slated for a
place on the commission, but will not
serve, owing to his desire to remain
at the head of his army corps. 1t is
expected that this corps, the Seventh,
will eventually be sem to Cuba, and in
that event. General Lee will go to the
island at its head, preferring hat posi-
ton to a commissionerShip.

NO MORE CENSORSHIP.
Mail Communication With SPAN
Will Be Resumed.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The mail serv-
ice between the United States and
Spain will be resumed promptly, so
far as this country is concerned. The
two countries being practically at
peace, the officials here see no reason
why mail passing by them should
be opened and censored as during the
war, and hereafter the restrictions will
be removed. Although no word to hat
effect has come from Spain. the pre-
sumption is that a similar course will
be adopted by nat government, AS
there are no transatlantic steamship
lines between American and Spanish
ports, nearly if not all of the mail
matter destined for Spain will be sent
as heretofore via France, the latter
country in this manner only acting as
the medium of communication.
Very soon steps will be taken by the
postoffice department looking to the
resumption of regular mail communica-
ton between the United States and
Cuba and Porto Rico. The attitude of
the Spanish officials in these islands on
certain questions incidental to his
will have TO be ascertained and de-
fined before anything final in this di-
rection "a be announced.

seven ~non-union miners are working

would go to the shafts in buggies
driven by operators and deputies.
Today several hundre union miners
were c~ongregated on the principal high

WE COULD RULE THE WORLD.
Consul General at Shanghai Maps
Out a Programme.

Minneapolis. Aug. 15.-John Goodnow,
consul general at Shanghai, China, in a
private letter. discusses the expansion
policy as follows:
I'VE should hold the Philippine Is
lands, the Caroline Islands and the La
drone Islands; also Cuba and Porto
Rico.
1T does not matter whether we call
them war indemnity or what. We need
them in our business. You have no idea
and cannot have. until you get out here
where all nations are fighting for trade.
what an intense jealousy there is of
the United States. Just now the con
tinental powers are more jealous of us
than England. If we have anything to
say we must ave a avy to have a
navy we must have coaling stations.
That means the Sandwich Islands and
the Philippines. To handle our navy
economically and effectively we must
build the Nicaragua ana and, in my
opinion, We should buy a strip of land
across Nicaragua to build our canal in
our osl territory.
Look on the map showing the routes
Of full power steam vessels and you
will see that every trade route to the
isthmus passes Cuba and Porto Rico.
and a strong country controlling those
two makes the canal at the isthmus &
private waterway whenever it wants to.
Also Cuba QIntrols the Gulf of Mex
leo. and the water routes to the mouth
Of the Mississippi. 1t is a big pro-
gramme, but / think we have got TO
do it. England controls absolutely one
route to the east by the Mediterranean
and Suez canal. Let us control the
other route, by the Nicaragua, and the
Anglo-American alliance rules the
world. Not a continental nation would
dare oppose us: for we could starve
them out. We are the people if we
take our opportunities as they come
along"
