NO CAUSE FOR FEAR.
Germany Would Not Dare Seize One
of the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Sept. THE officials OF
the State Department attach little impor-
lance to the stories coming from Hong
Kong TO the effect that German war ships
are preparing to take possession of one or
more islands of the Philippine group. The
government is thoroughly convinced that no
other power will undertake at this moment
TO disturb the status quo of the Philippines
pending the conclusion of the peace COM
mission. which meets in Paris very soon.
Technically, the United States and Spain
be permitted according to terms of inter-
national law, to perform any act that would
in any manner affect the territories OF
either party, and by the same law no neu-
trail nation could perform such an act. Ger
many could not even, by cessiOn or pur-
chase, acquire from Spain any of the Phil
ippine group pending the decision of this
peace commission, and were she TO attempt
to profit in that manner by the present stu
alton Of Spain her act might be regarded as
"A caSuS belli.

KEEP THE MOSQUITOES.
Plea to Retain All Vessels That
Achieved Enn,e III, the War

WASHINGTON. Sept. lit is the desire
of the Navy Department that all vessels
that won fame in the late war with Spain
shall be kept by the government. The
board appointed to consider what DISPOSE
ton should be made of the auxiliary ships
bought or chartered during the war is now
at work, and has already recommended the
selling Of a number of vessels All of the
auxiliary coast defense fleet has not disap-
peared, disposition has been made of the
vessels and the officers and men have been
discharged But the number of boats like
the Gloucester, which, though bought for
temporary service and for service that was
not supposed to be very warlike, have made
lasting reputation, and Will remain Cor
ever as glorious names in the annals of the
American navy. The Navy Department
tnlrks II would be great misfortune if
THESE SHIPS should be allowed to be sold.
The Gloucester has become already as
much q part of the glory of the navy of
this country as the Constitution or the
Oregon or the Olympia Other vessels. in
equal or less degree, have won fame IN the
recent war. 1t would be distinct loss to
the navy to have them go back to their
OLD role as pleasure yachts or traffic car
riers.
1t was said at the department that if the
board should decide that it is best to dis
pose of such ships the list of them will be
turned over to other branches of the gov
eminent, such as the revenue or lighthouse
service, to see if they could not he pur-
chased for use along the coast, and thus be
Kept within the Country's service 1t is
hoped by the department. however, that
this will not be made necessary, as it is
very anxious to have the Gloucester and
her peers retained in the navy list. There
is room for them and plenty of service for
them to perform: Besides. they would add
to the glory and prestige of the fleets of
the country, just as a veteran corps adds
to the military prestige.
1t is exceedingly probable that if the
Gloucester, once the yacht Corsair, the
property of j. Pierpont Morgan, Of New
York, was put on sale her former owner
would be glad to buy her in for a much
larger price than the government paid for
her 1t would add to the pleasure and
eClat of a yachting cruise in the Meditar-
ranean for instance, to make it in the little
craft that had won SO much glory in the
battle of Santiago But it is the confident
hope of the Navy Department that these
boats can be retained in their present
places in the navy, ard it is probable that
this will be the result of the effort to hold
them

YOUNG WHEELER DROWNED.
Great Sadness Comes to the Old Gem
eraI at WikoH

CAMP WIKOFF. A+ONTAUK POINT,
L. l., Sept. 7.-Thomas II. Wheeler. son of
Gen. Jos sph Wheeler, and Second Lieuten-
ant Newton D. kirkpatrick, First Cavalry,
were probably drowned while bathing this
afternoon. Young Wheeler was a naval
cadet in his second year. He had been act
ing on lis fathers staff for some time past.
He was seventeen years of age Together
with Lieutenant kirkpatrick he went to the
beach this afternoon to enjoy the surf bath
ing. The surf ran high and the undertow
was very strong. Apparently no one saw
the young men drowned and it was not
until about o'clock that they were missed.
Their clothing was found a short distance
from Gen. Wheeler's tent close to the
water, and it S believed certain that the
young officers were swept away by the
strong sea. Tonight detail of sixty men
from the First cavalry, is stationed along
the coast 70 watch for the bodies. OF the
accident Gen. Wheeler has nothing to say.
His three daughters, two of whom have
been acting as nurses in the general hos
pital and another a nurse in the deten-
ton hospital, are with him, grief-stricken.

rifle Applause.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. 1.-THE Ly-
ceum Theater was filled to its capacity this
evening. at the formal opening of the Re-
publican campaign and to welcome Senator
Cushman K. Davis on his first public ap-
pearance since his appointment as men,
Der Of the peace commission. In the course
of his speech the senator said: Il do not
wish to dwell too harshly on the deeds of
those who oppose us. They have earned our
respect individually by their conduct in our
recent need, for of every party, men re-
sponded like heroes to the call to arms, and
for that we must remember them kindly as
brothers and friends. Senator Davis then
reviewed the tariff legislation of the past
few years, comparing the Wilson and Nc
Kinley laws and dwelling at some length
on present industrial conditions in this
country. He continued:
But there is a new field opening Gradu-
ally the Chinese Orient. with its population
of one-quarter of the globe, has been opened
TO trade, and Russia, France, England and
ell the rest are after its commercial inter-
ests and, perhaps, imperial. BY right
America has the first call there. There is
but one ocean between us and that Orient,
while between it and Europe there are two.
We will have something to say about that.
My present position will not permit of my
airing my views upon our present position
in the Pacific. l will say this however, that
this government will secure from the stu
alton whatever American honor, American
commerce and American philanthropy de-
mand. CTerritic applause.) War is a terri
bic thing, fellow citizens, but in this short
est and most successful war ever waged,
there has been much to crafty. 1t has
wiped out as within day that hateful line
along the Potomac and Ohio: the gray has
disappeared in the blue like the passing
storm, as 1t merges into canopy of the
azue sky, and like the shower, so have the
tears dried up, until all this land is clasped
IN one fond and everlasting embrace"
