New York, Aug. There is likeh-
hood of legal contest growing out of
the establishment of the new camp at
Montauk Point.
Scott & Treadwell of this city, attor
neys for the Montauk tribe of Indians,
have served notice on United States At
torney General Griggs that they claim
ownership of the land and protest against
dealings for possession of the point by
the United States government with the
Long Island Railroad Company.
Former Judge Scott said last night that
the notice was served because his clients
did not wish to be held guilty of laches
by failure to assert their right at all
times when their rights were ignored.
"If the United States government fails
to recognize the rights of the Indians"
Judge Scott said, proper proceedings
will be instituted to compel it to do so.
The railroad has no title to this land"

THE GERMANS AT MANILA.
The Conduct of the German Admiral
Causes Uneasiness

Chicago, Aug. THE special cores
pendent of the Inter-Ocean with Admiral
Deweys fleet off Manila, writing under
date of July l, says;
There is some feeling of uneasiness
here as to the intentions of the powerful
German squadron that has been centered
here. 1t now contains practically the full
strength of the kaiser's fleet on the Ash
attic station, but the assurances that its
size would be quickly reduced have not
been fulfilled. 1t now seems certain that
the Germans are playing some deep game,
either aimed at the seizure of one of the
group or an armed protest against bonn
bardment.
Several incidents have tended to in
crease this feeling. Two nights ago Vice
Admiral Won Diedrichs was indiscreet
enough to send launch alongside of the
flagship Olympia. 1t was very dark, and
her crew failed to observe the sentry's
challenge, and several rifle balls We're sent
whistling over her awning. She very
promptly hove to and showed a light,
The Germans wanted permission to send
night, and when their request was pre-
sented to Admiral Dewey he readily
granted it. The boarding party was re-
minded that it was a time of war, and
that all craft that approached the fleet
at night and either failed to stop and
show light or give the countersgn were
fired upon.
The German officers accepted the eX-
planation but they were not pleased at
the recollection of the whistle of the bull
let's.
Again on Monday last the McCulloch,
with Flag Lieutenant Brumby aboard,
oyerhauled the cruiser Irene outside. She
was very slow about stopping her en-
gines and later in Mariveles bay her Of
ticers were displeased when the McCul-
loch ran across her bow.
Admiral Won Diedrichs continues to de-
clare he was ordered here merely to look
after German interests. His officers have
fraternized considerably with the Spanish
officers on shore and have made merry at
a dinner and dance. One of their func-
tiOns is said, however, to have ended I'M
pleasantly. 1t was banquet, and over
their cups all sorts of goodfellowship was
pledged. Finally one of the German Of
tcers intimated that the kaiser would
like few of the Philippine islands. His
ntimation was at once resented with
spirit by the partially intoxicated but
still proud Spaniards.
The Irene picked up some Spanish ref
ugees on the northwest coast of Luzon
and brought them into Manila and the
German fleet has been making free use
of Mariveles bay, where most of the ships
took supplies and exchanged for relief
crews from the big German transport
Darmstadt.

HEALTH GOOD IN NAVY.


Washington, Aug. 6.-The secretary OF
the navy tonight made public the follow
ing telegram from Admiral Sampson:
Playa, Aug. &, lS9S.-The marine bat
talon is in excellent health. The sick
list numbers p per cent. The fleet sur
geon reports they are iii better condition
for service in this climate than they were
when they first arrived south in June.
The health of the squadron at Guantan-
amo is fairly good. The sick list numbers
about 3 per cent The general tone Of
health of the ships company has fallen
considerably since the first of July. This
however is not due to the prevalence Of
any disease, but is probably due to the
release from the strain and constant eff
fort under which they so long lived, and
to this probably more than to any other
cause is due their somewhat impaired
physique. | do not think it necessary TO
send the marine battalion north. The
crews have borne their privations in a
manner beyond praise. The ships crews
have not been ashore in six months and
climate. SAMPSON.
Secretary long stated tonight that it
was the purpose of the department to or
der north those ships not required for
the blockade as soon as the exigencies OF
the war will permit.

A CORN CANNING FACTORY

Likely TO be Established In Brattleboro
allow IL would Benefit the COmmu-
nifty zee some Facts and Figures for
the Attention OF the Farmers.
A special meeting of the board of trade
was held in the Brattleboro Savings bank
Wednesday afternoon. for a consideration
of the corn canning subject and j. 5.
Dearborn was present to state the condi-
tions upon which Baxter Brothers of
Brunswick, Me. could be induced to es-
tablish a factory here. After discussing
the various phases of the question the real
estate committee of the board of trade was
instructed to select, if possible, a suitable
site which could be reached from the rail-
road by a spur track The committee is
expected to make its report in a day or
two and if the conditions are favorable a
meeting of the farmers of Brattleboro and
vicinity will be called Immediately for the
purpose of determining whether a sufh
cient amount of sweet corn for the needs
of the factory can be guaranteed.
To conduct the business successfully
several buildings would be needed, among
which would be one $50 feet long by 30
feet wide shed 200 feet long by 35 feet
wide, both one-story buildings. and a two
ter Brothers are willing to pay good rate
of interest for money invested in the build
lngs, but they must be built by BrattlebUro
capital
If these conditions are fulfilled and a
sufficient amount of corn can be obtained
Baxter Brothers will agree to run the fac
tory hve years, and they will probably re-
main here 10 years or more The cans
used at the factory would be made here,
which would keep from y to II hands at
work the year around. Twenty-Five men
would be given employment two months in
the year and during the two months of the
canning season 100 hands would be EN-
ployed.
The lowest price paid for corn is S12 a
ton and at that price many of our farmers
would mud it profitable TO turn their acres
into corn fields. For labor and corn SO
600 would be expended annually among
our farmers and labOrers, which would be
direct benefit TO the entire community
The cost OF a set of buildings would be
from $500 to $4,000 This amount could
be easily raised if 50 merchants or others
would subscribe $40 a year for five wears
The canning factory at Westminster
which Is owned by Baxter Brothers. has
been source of great benefit to that town
and the farmers especially have found it so
Ii IS hoped TO get factory in operation
here this year but if this is to be done there
is no time TO lose, for the farmers are al
ready planning their spring planting
When the meeting of the farmers is called
II IS hoped that there will be q full response
IN order that al early decision NAV be
reached

The Peers Food stor. near the Brattle
boro House. run by +. g. Frost was raid
ed by Chief of Police Hall and Policeman
Worden about $3.50 o'clock Tuesday night
on warrant issued by States Attorney
Robb. For a long time there had been
suspicion based upon apparently good evil
dence. that intoxicating liquor was being
kept there. and it had also been believed
that the place was being used for storing
liduor for the brewery on the island. Con
seuuently Bailif Fleming had a warrant
for search and seizure issued and placed in
the hands of the chief of police. In the
second story of the building were found IS
sealed quart bottles of whiskey and 10
empty whiskey barrels The stuff was
drawn away by a team from the livery
stable The warrant stated that the signer
had reason to believe that Charles Horton
was keeping intoxicating liquor in the
building for the purpose of selling contrary
to the statute, and Mr.. Horton was sum
moned to appear before Justice W. 5. New
ton Wednesday afternoon. States Attor-
Dey Robb, who had come down from the
county court at Newfane for the purpose,
was present and had the hearing continued
TO $3.50 o'clock tomorrow morning when
Lawyers Fit and Hit will probably take a
hand in the case.
Ii is understood that a claim will be
made that the whiskey was left in the
building by the proprietors Of the brewery
in order that it might be seized by the Y er-
mont authorities. 1t is alleged that liquors
for the brewery have been stored on this
side Of the river and taken across the
bridge to be sold in New Hampshire. and
that large quantity OF spirits was moved
there a short time before the raid. The
brewery proprietors claim that they have
the right 10 store liquors in Vermont when
they have no intention Of making sales in
this state

FIRE DEPARTMENT CHANGES


National Board of Fire Underwater
recommends Them---ThouRht to -,
an Offset 10 Demand for More Equits
bile Reduction in Rates.
The National Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers has sent out statement saying thai
the Brattleboro fire department was in
spected by one of its representatives Jan
81. and that the following recommenda-
tions of changes are made:
A more suitable lightly. built hook
and ladder truck, with serviceable exten
sion and ordinary length ladders. should BE-
obtained.
.. New wheels should be obtained for
the engine located at the central fire sta
ton
3. Additional circuits and alarm boxes
should be added to the electric fire-alarrn
system.
4 The four horses should be perms
nentlv employed at the central fire station
for quick service
3. Fire limits should be established
embracing the entire business and ada
cent resident sections
6. At least 30 additional fire hydrants
should be suitably located.
+. The box coverings should be packet
with anti-frost material, to prevent the ny
drants from freezing
Business men believe these recommends
tions are made as an offset for the demand
for lower rates Of fire insurance on loca
property 1t is believed that the reduction
proposed in town would be more equitable
if it applied TO all classes OF property. in
stead OF exempting dwellings. If the
board is not willing to grant what seem
to Brattleboro people All equitable reduc-
ton, it is hoped 1t will state what is wantel
10 bring about the desired change
