STATEMENT BY ALGER.
The War Investigating Committee Ex-
amines the secretary's Reply to Cues
tions Asked Him.

Washington, Oct. IL. The warinves-
tigating commission devoted its session
to-day to the examination Of Secretary
Alger's statement and the papers fur
nished him in reply to the commissions
inquiries, The accompanying papers
include the reports from the various
bureaus of the war department, and
also various letters and kilograms
bearing upon the conduct of the war.
Secretary Alger in his report replies to
the various questions propounded by
The commission, but he gives es-
pecial prominence to the plan of
campaign and to the changes that
were made in the original plans. He
states that Tampa was chosen as the
oase OF operations because Of its prox-
unity to Havana, at which point 1T
was originally intended the landing
should be made. The determination
70 make change was due to the
developments on the southern coast of
ouoa and to Admiral Cervera's course
IN locating his fleet in the bay of San
uago. When it became quite certain
mat he was securely entrapped, Ad-
miral Sampson wired the fact to the
secretary of the navy asking that
troops be sent Immediately. He said
tnat he had silenced the batteries
which were accessible from the sea
and that 900 men could capture the
town within 4S hours. The text of this
message is given, as is the text
u various other kilograms showing
me cause of delay in getting the expe-
m1ion off. The report shows that
nen. Miles advised in the beginning
mat the first move should be made
against Porto Rico and that after that
island should be subjugated, that the
american forces should be landed on
.he north coast of Cuba at some point
rom which they could move conven-
iently either to the east or west.

HELD FOR BURGLARY
Horace Franklin inc Defendant, Suf-
 ferS Lapse of Memory.

The preliminary hearing of Horace, or Shorty Franklin. who also calls himself BmJ Harris, took place yes terday afternoon in Justice John stones court. Franklin was accused of setting out on Q tour of burglary last Wednesday morning, his itinerary in cluding the Bank Exchange and Bo dega saloons. The table in the jus tice's court was filled wfuh exhibits, embracing a bottle of celery tonic and a lot of broken glass. There was no attempt at defense. The prisoner sat with his hand covering his face as if he were trying to recOllect something. He said he was drunk and knew nodh- ing of the events of Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Of his drunktn- ness there was no reasonable doubt, but drunkenness is regarded as an ex- cuso for nothing and beside an honest man when drunk is not apt to become a burglar or a thief, though he may commit a murder. Franklin was held to the grand jury in the sum of S250 on each charge.
 It is pretty well known now that he is only a unit in a crowd of crooks lately arriv ed from the north. The worst of them are still at large and among them is one who did time a't Deer Lodge, Mont. The gang is under the espionage of the police and not only this gang, bu.J o.4-er attachments of undesirables from all parts of the country A part of the crowd to which Franklin belongs is at Tucson, since on the day after his arrest he wrote a letter to man there describing his predicament.

ANOTHER STORAGE DAM
IT Will be Presented 10 inc People
 Interested in Storage.

Messrs. c. M. Etter and D. A. Spauld- ing of the valley have a dam sise which they believe is one of the best to be found 1n the mountains because of it's proximity to the river and the shape which nature made it. The canyon is narrow at ,he base and widens as the top is reached. the walls being of such shape as to form a wedge for the ma sorry Of the dam which will give it a double value as a safe dam.
 The gentlemen were in the city yes terday to present their site to the east ern gentlemen who are interested in the new Arizona canal company, but MT. Miller and MT. Leech had left the city for New York. The site was To- cated by ihem some time ago and has been known to exist for many years. It is ten miles nCrtheaao of the Supersti- ton range Of mountains, and is but a few miles from the river They are talking of building the dam themselves and entering into the water business on their own responsibility; The pro jected daIs> would cost about $100.000, according Ao their. estimate.

2 WHAT PEOPLE SAY. ; &A NNA@A~ANNNNA%AT

B. Heyman: I understand that the Indian schooI has grown too small to accommodate the pupils who are seek ing admittance to the school, and an effort is being made to get an appro- priation from congress o.enlarge the school building. This is a matter which the people of the valley are in- terested in, and they should render all the aid possible to attain the appro- priation needed. No doubt many of the business men of the cisy and resi- dents of the valley have personal ac- quaintance among congressman and they can be Of service if they will use their influence in behalf of the school
 w. A Kimball: We are willing to tax everything and anything over in our end of the valley to get water storage. For my part I would like to see a tax put upon bachelors and old maids, for I believe mere are more Of them in the valley than there should be.
 #'
 r. A. Spaulding: Tf4e ranches up my way are looking fine since the rains, and the Tanchers have reason to feel good. Seeding has been delayed, but with the excellent condition of the ground it will not be long before the ranchers have caught up with their work in this respect.
 
 C. M. Etter: I don't know what the increased acreage of barley will be this year, but I suppose it will be large owing to the good prices which pre- vailed this year, and the probability of some improvement in the water sup ply because of the late rains in the valley and the heavy snow fall all over the northern portion of the ter ritory.

The railroad will he built by the first of April, and then the smelter which the company mas built at Williams will be started up, and the mines will be worked with greater en- ergy and profit.
 "The company will build a hotel at the head of the Bright Angel trail and one at the Indian Gardens in the canyon for the accommodation of isour- ists This will no doubt wonderfully increase the travel to lahe canyon"

THE GRAND CANYON MINES
Superintendent MaCDonaId is Spend
 ing Few Days in the City.

| Superintendent H. K. Macdonald of
 the Grand canyon copper mines, is at
 the Commercial and will remain in the i city a few days. MT. Macdonald sue ceeded Colin Timmons as superiltend- i oI the properties owned by Lombard, Gocde & Co. of Chicago, and has had charge Of the development of the prop critics during the past year.
 We are opening up some new mines" said MT Macdonald to a re- porter yesterday, which are proving all that the surface ores promised. They are located about twenty miles from the Hogan mine and on the oppo- site side of the canyon. We have named them the Dutton Park mines, Professor Dutton having given the world one of the first scientific reports relative to the mineral deposits in the canyon. When we have fully devel- oped these mlnes the question of solved, and that will mean 2 large tramway running from these mines to the rim of the canyon.
 ne Anita camp, which is back from the canyon rim a5ou. fifteen miles, is receiving the most attention just noW,'' continued MT. MacDCDnald The upper carboRiferous sCratas are being followed, and the ore removed. AS the ore bodies are found to go down we follow them, and we have in several places obtained permanent bodies of ore for a depth of 100 feet. There is no question as to the deposition of the copper found on the surface workings. That it came from below no one can deny, and we believe that our pros pscting will develop ore chutes the lower carboniferous deposits, If we have noa already made such discov- cries.
 There are three camps in the Grand canyon district owned by Lombard, Goode 6 Co.-the Alberta, Cardenas and Nyack, and in eac O. these camps there are number of excellent prop critics. Outside of the possessions of the company there are some good mines owned by individual parties, a number of which are now undergoing development with good results.
 MT. Gwynne Dennis, secretary of the company, will arrive in Williams in week or so and we expect to begin work on the railroad from Williams to the canyon at an early date. The fullest development Of the mines at the canyon depends upon the comple- ton Of Ulis road. We made an attempt some time ago to haul ere from the mines to our shelter at Will Hams by the use of a traction engine, but we found that it was too expensive.
