ing-G. N. Express Co. Compelled
to Act I'm the War Tax Matter.
President James J. Hill, Of the Great
Northern, yesterday set at rest the ru-
mors that have been in circulation
during the past week that the rate war
between the Canadian Pacific and the
American transcontinental lines had
been amicably settled since the visit Of
Sir William Van Horne to this city.
There is absolutely no foundation
for such report" said Mr.. Hill. '"The
matter is no further from a settlement
now than 1t was three months ago, but
on the other hand it is no nearer a
settlement"
The officials Of the roads interested
in the controversy are preparing their
evidence for presentation before the In
terstate commerce commission, which
will meet in Chicago Aug. 1, and it is
believed the matter will be thoroughly
sifted.
The general passenger agents of the
Chicago-St. Paul lines will hold con-
ference in Chicago today to try to al-
just the rate question between those
cities. 1t is understood that the execu-
tive officers Of the lines who met in
Chicago last week have outlined a plan
for the passenger agents to adopt, but
none Of the st. Paul officials who are
to attend the meeting know what the
plan is. Among railroad men here it is
the general impression that no satis-
factory solution of the question will
be found until the fight between the
American lines and the Canadian Pa
cific is settled. The passenger agents
will appear before the interstate COM
merce commission and will endeavor to
present the case to that body so that
the commission may settle the dispute

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The war
department has received a. letter from
a New York attorney, representing J.
l.. St John, protesting against the
award for transporting the Spanish
prisoners in Spanish ships. In addi-
ton to the claims that have been ma de
In this matter heretofore, he alleges
that his client had not been heard re-
spectiEg a bid which he had put in.
Col. Hecker replied to the letter, saw
ing that Mr.. st. Johns bid was upon
letter denoting him a paper manu-
faeturer, and Mr.. ST. John had not re-
sponded to telegram requesting his
presence in Washington, save by a
letter saying he was glad the contract
had been placed so advantag ageously to
the government. Col. Hecker also said
that the department was fully advised
as to the location Of the Spanish ships
before the contract was made.
Probably before the end of the week
the Spanish company Will begin the
discharge Of its obligation and have
shipped at Santiago at least 1 coo of the
Spanish soldiers on the long journey
to Spain, a trip which it is expected
Will occupy about fifteen days.
Word came to the war department
today through the medium of the
United States consul at Fort de
France, island Of Martinique, that the
Spanish steamship Alicante, which has
3 been lying there for several weeks. was
just about to sail for Santiago to ship
some or the prisoners. 1t is due to ar
rive there about Thursday morning.

description of the machine does not
give the army officer who received the
letter a definite idea as to what the
mechanism was like or how it was to
have been exploded. The captain
wrote that the box was aboard the

Gen. FitzhUgh Lee is disgruntled over
the delay about his getting to the front.
The writer says:
Il have just had a long conference

manner the general did not hesitate to

faizes the folly of attempting such a

dence in Havana as consul general of
the United States, gave him practical
experience as to the climatic conditions
during the summer, and he has given
his impressions on the subject to the
public through magazine articles since
his return from Cuba. Gen. Lee said
to me this morning: I take a fatherly
interest in my soldiers, and the spirit
prompts him to prefer to have his
troops remain here, where they are well
cared for. until the early fall, when
