shown the alleged interview in which
he is made to say: 'Our newt war will
be with Germany He indicates his
disgust with the taking and says-
II have no time to read. let alone affirm
or deny, all the lies and irresponsible
rubbish which have been printed about
me since my arrival in Trieste Those
OF his officers who enjoy his confidence
If anybody does, say that as he never
made such remarks in private It is I'M
likely he would do so in an interview.
New York. July 31.-The Herald
prints an editorial regarding its Dewey
interview in part as follows:
ION Friday last DR. HaIstead Rowland g.

aid In dilettante way. sent the Herald 8
dispatch from Trieste. which was pub
ished in our issue Of last Saturday IF
gave a resume Of a conversatfo which Dr.
Boyland had had with Admiral Dewey
In this conversation the admiral spoke
with sailor-like candor, and expressed
opinions with regard TO GERMANY that
have stirred up a eommotion Il is re-
grettable that a friendly conversation
should have found its way into print. The
admiral cannot regret IL more than The
Herald does.
Still. when this has been recorded ire
fact remains that Admiral Dewey made
the statements reported by Dr. BoyIand"

RECEPTION TO DEWEY.
mfral ON His Arrival in
Warrington.

Washington, July 31.-Prcsident Nc
Kinley will give reception to Admiral
Dewey at the white house when the lat
ter arrives in Washington. At first he
was in doubt whether reception or
dinner would be more appropriate, but
the former is likely to be decided on for
the reason that it would be more popu-
lar in character and would grant to
multitude of people an opportunity to
meet the naval hero and shake hands
with him. The management of the re-
ception will be very simple and will
differ in no important respects from
regular affairs of that character at the
white house, except that the admiral
will occupy place in the line of the re-
ceiving party, the president coming
FIRST, Mrs. Mckinley next and then the
admiral, the introductions being made
as usual by Col. Bingham.

cident on the Erie railroad growing out

waxen Saturday night were not as Sc
rious as at first reported. Only the

The wreck, which occurred shortly
before midnight, was preceded by
cloudburst and storm which lasted
two hours. A section of the bank fell
on the track, directly in front Of
freight train. Several trees went down
with the rocks and earth, and the
freight cars and engine were turned
over directly across the west-bound
tracks of the Erie road. Sixty freight
cars constituted the train, but only
~ were derailed, and the debris was
piled up on the west-bound tracks Just
as the Chicago express put in an APP
pearance, running at the rate Of so
miles an hour. The engine of the ex-
press train crashed into the wreck, and
the baggage car, combination and buf-
let car and two Pullman sleepers were
piled up on the tracks Immediately in
front OF the wrecked freight cars. The
hrst sleeper was split into two parts
as a result of the accident. and the
passengers were thrown 30 feet down
a bank. Members of the train crew
commenced to search different por-
tons of the wreck and assisted those
who were struggling to escape. Blan-
kets were brought in from the Pull
man cars and wrapped around shiver-
ing women and half-conscious men.
Word was telegraphed to Port Jervis.
A relief train was at once arranged for

cident, and nearly all of the injured
persons were removed to the hos

Newport News, Va, July 31.-There
are 80 cases Of what are believed to be
genuine yellow fever at the National
soldiers home near Hampton, and
three deaths from the disease were
reported Sunday, There were several
other deaths at the institution Satur-
day, but 1t cannot be stated that all
OF them We're caused by yellow fever.
Newport News and Hampton will quar-
antine against the soldiers home. The
government authorities at Old Point
have already adopted this step and no
strangers are allowed to enter the res
ervation. ~.
quarantine Officer Hobson, of this
port, went to the soldiers home and
verified the statement that there are
now 80 cases of the disease at the home
and that there were three deaths from
the malady Sunday. While no one out
SIDE the soldiers home knew anything
about the existence of yellow fever un-
til Sunday, it is said that the disease
made its appearance three days ago.
The most rigid quarantine regulations
will be enforced to prevent the spread
OF the malady. The news has created
great excitement in Newport News,
Olds FONT and Hampton, and the most
vigorous measures will be resorted to
to prevent it's spread. There are 1000

OUTBREAK EXPECTED.
Situation in SantO Domingo Decided
~ Critical-Warships to Pro-
tect American Interests.

Porto Plata, Santo Domingo, July 81
The situation is critical. An outbreak
is momentarily expected. The friends
of the government are under arms and
ready for action to protect property and
preserve the peace. A feeble attempt
was made to seize the body of Presi-
dent Heureaux by the assassins, Ramon
Caceros, Manuel Caceros, Horacio Vas
quez and Domingo Pichardo, who are in
the country about Moca with their fol-
lowers. The burial of President Heur-
eaux was conducted with fitting honors.
Gov. Pepin has assembled troops in
Moca, and the governor of La Vega Real
has 1000 men. The minister of the
treasury has arrived at Moca in hot
haste. The government is taking steps
for the protection of business and the
finance of the country, and expects to
carry out the contemplated cancelIa-
ton of the state bank notes. In Porto
Plata there is an urgent demand that
the government send sufficient force
to Moca to hunt down the assassins of
the president.
Kingston, Jamaica, July 31.-A pri-
vate cable dispatch received here by

prevails owing to the fact that the gov
eminent has not been able to ascertain
the extent of the ramifcations Of the
revolution, and is growing demoralized
Through the death of the president. In
the event of the revolution succeeding.
according to the private cablegram, it is
probable that Jiminez and JitoneI. the
reputed leaders of the revolution. will
agree to retire, offering the presidency
to Gen. Maxine Gomez, who would
prove acceptable to all parties. A depu-
tation, it is reported, is going to Cuba to
confer with Gen. Gomez.
Washington, July 31.-A cablegram
has been received at the navy depart
ment from the commander of the Ma

port Sunday for San Domingo. She
probably will stop at San Juan, P. r..
on the way, to land Commander Snow,
who is to take charge of the naval sta
