ONE SHIP EACH.
New Battleships Divided Among
Three Firms.

Washington, Sept. 13.-The navy de-
partment has arrived at what it re-
CARDS as a fair and satisfactory settle
ment of the question of awarding the
contracts for the construction of the
three batt1eships.
When the bids were opened it was
found that for the fast ships desired,
the Newport News company was the
lowest, Cramp next and the Union Iron
works just above; all within the limit
fixed by congress. 1t was the original
intention to award the contracts in that
order But upon examination of the
plans submitted by the bidders, it was
found that the only thoroughly salts
factory one was that submitted by
Cramp, who had simply taken the al
ternate plans suggested by the navy
department, which amounted to length
enlng the hull of the ships from Is to
20 feet in order to gain room for the
more powerful engines required to drive
the ship at a speed of 1874 knots instead
of Is knots as first proposed.
After considering the subject in all
aspects, the board of naval bureau
chiefs has hit upon a solution of the
question They have invited the New
port News company and the Union Iron
works to amend their plans so as to
make their ships Identical with that
proposed by Cramp. Mr.. Scott, of the
California company, has agreed to do
this already and the representative Of
bally agreed to do the same, so it is the
understanding that each of the COM
panies will be given a contract for one
ship.

BEGINS BUSINESS.
Porto Rican Evacuation Commission
Holds Its First Session.

San Juan de Porto Rico, Sept. "a
The two evacuation commissions held
an hours session today and adjourned
until tomorrow. The American com
nissioners made known their position
regarding the evacuation and transfer
of the island, in accordance with their
instructions from Washington. These
Instructions they decline to make pub
lie at present, as publicity might lead to
embarra ssment in negotiations, but the
Spanish commissioners did not disclose
their positions nor the nature of their
Instructions. They manifested, how
ever. Willingness to secure as much ex-
petition as possible, and our commits
sioners are satisfied with the way N
which their demands have been in
formally received
The adjournment gives the SpaniarGS
time to prepare their reply. When that
is concluded issues will be Joined and
the situation become clear. What eff
feet, if any the appearance of yellow
fever among the troops at Ponce will
have is predetermined. Should the fever
spread it would doubtless induce the
American commissioners to hasten tho
evacuation to the utmost; but as yet
there is not the slightest reason to ex-
pect an epidemic
General Brooke says two cases have
been reported to him and one death. AS
soon as he learned of these he caused
all suspicious cases to be isolated with
a view of preventing the spread of the

NO HOPE FOR MRS. WHITNEY
Cottagers at Bar Harbor Understand
That She Will Never Be Entirely
Well

Bar Harbor, Me, Sept. 13.-Mr. and
Mrs. W. c. Whitney will remain here
through September, and possibly into
October if the weather holds warm.
Mrs. Whitney has improved only
slightly since she was brought here.
She is unable to rise in bed, and trained
nurses and New York physicians con-
tinue in attendance at the Anchorage,
the beautiful summer home which she
has occupied here for many years.
Mr. Whitney does not say much about
his wife's condition, but Bar HarbOr
cottagers generally understand that no
hope is entertained that she will ever
be entirely we'll. Her whole system
seems to be paralyZed. 1t is said that
she is unable to move her arms or legs,
and can move her head only a little
from side to side.

Paris, Sept. 13.-The Rappel and the
Matin today say that at yesterdays
cabinet council the minister for war,
General Suerlinden, explained his rea-
sons for opposing a revision of the
Dreyfus case. The premier, NJ Brisson,
and the minister of education, these
papers add, urged General SuerIinden
to change his determination, but Presi-
dent Faure sided with the minister for
war. An excited discussion followed
and the council was adjourned until
the afternoon when calnness was re-
stored. NJ. Bourgeois then pointed out
the consequences of the crisis and fur
Their discussion of the matter was ad-
journed until Saturday next
The papers here are unanimous in the
opinion that the situation is serious.
They say that temporizing will only de-
lay the decision which if favorable to a
revision of the case, will cause the
resignation of General Suerlinden and
which, if hostile, will lead to a with
drawal from the cabinet of NJ. kBrisson
and result in a general crisis.
1t is rumored that in view of the
possible resignation of General Suerlin-
den, NJ. Brisson has sounded General
Brugere, who it is said is disposed to
accept the portfolio.

TWO PRIZE FIGHTS.
Choynski Bests Goddard and Bonner
Whips CreedOn.

Philadelphia, Sept. 13.-Joe ChOynski
had all the best of his bout with Joe
Goddard at the Arena last night. GCd-
dard was considerably heavier than the
Californian but he lacked in science.
ChOVnski made a chOpping block of the
Australian and several times it looked
as though Goddard would not be able
to stay the full six rounds. There
was but little fighting in the opening
round The men expected rights on the
face and Goddard landed a light left
on Choynski's chest.
In the second round ChOynski landed
several hard lefts on Goddard's face,
but the latter could not get in a good
blow.
The third, fourth and fifth rounds
were repetitions of the second, Choyns-
XII doing nearly all the leading and
landing almost at will In the closing
round Goddard fought wildly while
Choynski was calm and banged Cod
dard on the jaw, sending him to his
knees. Choynski landed hard and Of
ten but he could not stop the Austria
liam.
When the gong sounded a spectator
jumped into the ring and attempted to
hit Goddard, but he was quickly thrown
from the platform.
New York. Sept. 13.-Jack Bonner,
the middle weight pugilist from Sum
init, Pa. gained an easy victory over
Dan CreedOn the Australian boxer, in the
second round of their fight at the Great
er New York Athletic club last night.
Creedon was down and out by a heavy
right-hand punch on the jack, and in
falling he twisted his ankle. He was
not knocked out by any means, but the
blow received on the jaw was enough
to settle the spirit of any man. Had
this not occurred the fight might have
gone on for many rounds. The spec
tators were satisfied that Dan was not
taking and left the house after being
informed that the doctor who attended
the Australian had found the ankle
badly sprained.

The Packers at the Battle of San

Ammunition and Rations to the
Front Saved the Day.

P. E. Butler of pack-train No 3,
writing from Santiago de Cuba. on July
%, says: I'VE all had diarrhoea in
more or less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see a
doctor, for it was a case of rush and
rush night and day to keep the troops
supplied with ammunition and rations.
but thanks to Cham ber1ain's Collie,
Cholera and DiarrhOea Remedy, we
were able to keep at work and keep our
health; in fact, I sincerely believe that
at one critical time this medicine was
the indirect saviour of our army, for
if the packers had been unable to work
there would have been no way of get
ting supplies to the front. There were
no roads that a wagon train could use
