Predicts This as the Republican National
Ticket Next Year.
Says Roosevelt is a Very Strong
Man In the Empire State, but
Is a Young Man, and Can Wait
Until Four Years Hence Before
Aspiring as the National
Leader.

SEATTLE, Aug. 5.-Ex-Mayor w. S.
Strong of New York arrived here to-
day en- route to San Francisco to meet
his son, who is coming from Manila on
the transport Warren. Mr.. Strong pre-
diets that the Republican National
ticket will be Mckinley and Hobart.
Discussing Governor Roosevelt, he
said: Roosevelt is a very strong man
In New York State, but in order to go
before the people of the whole coun-
try we think he should serve twice as
Governor of our State. He is a young
man, and will make strong man for
the I9o4 campaign. He's young enough
for that
Continuing, Mr.. Strong said: :'If they
make the Philippine question one of the
issues in the national campaign, there
will be hundreds of New York Demo-
Gratis who will vote for Mckinley next
year The anti-expansion idea is not a
strong one. There are a few who call
themselves, or are styled, anti-expan-
sionists, but they are few and amount
to very little in New York
Personally, I am in favor of retain
ing the Philippines. We have acquired
all that territory, and we must keep it,
must retain control, enforce obedience
for the present, and allow the future to
determine the ultimate end and the
government that should be enforced
there. If the Filipinos could enjoy three
months of our territorial government,
they would all be willing to submit to
the regulations and be content for the
American Government to exercise and
superintend their welfare. They are
willing in the main for this now, as I
hear from private sources
Mr.. Strong says that greater New
York is somewhat of an experiment,
and so far disappointment The
taxes are more burdensome, especially
in some of the sections like the Borough
of Manhattan, but he thinks that in
four or FIVE years the conditions will
have equalized themselves and the tax
payers become more content.
Mr.. Strong thinks the appointment
of Elihu Root as Secretary of War has
a good effect in New York

overturned, and everything was in
great confusion. A hotel of thirty-two
rooms was blown away. save one room
that was left with the floor and two
walls. But two houses retain their roofs
and nearly all are damaged beyond re-

on the river bank We're blown 800 yards

houses.
The mercantile stocks in Carrabelle
We're wholly ruined. and as yet there
is no place in which to store new

Starvation of the poorer classes and
nakedness is their portion, as even their

Count and Countess Bonf de Castel-
lane and their party on board the
steam yacht Valhalla have certainly
been the social success of Cowes this
week. Their triumph eliminated in
the dinner they gave on the vessel
Thursday to the Prince of Wales.
Everything connected with the yacht
and the French people aboard was the
smartest possible. The Countess de
Castellane and the French women ac
companying her completely eclipsed
the English women. They were per
fectly dressed on every occasion, while
the majority of the English beauties
appeared in most inappropriate fiashy
costumes. The arrival Of the Valhalla's
gig at the Royal Yacht squadron's
landing stage was always the event of
the afternoons to the onlookers. It
is a six-oared gig and the sailors wear
the ordinary French sailors costume
little round white caps, with red tas-
sells, white jumpers over blue and white
striped jerseys and white duck trou-
sers. The Counts appearance ex-
cites almost as great interest as the
women's He wears generally a white
linen yachting suit, and his hair Is al
ways so beautifully arranged that 1t

AN ABSURD INVENTION.
The Story That Southern Republics
Will Form an Alliance.

NAHANT (Mass), Aug. 5.-Martin
Garcia Merou, Minister of the Argen-
tine Republic to the United States, was
interviewed to-day by a representative
of the Associated Press concerning re-
cent news dispatches bearing upon the
journey just undertaken by General
Roca, President of the Argentine Re
public, to the Capital of Brazil, which
has given occasion for rumors of an
alleged alliance between the nations Of
the southern extremity of the CONT
nent, against the United States. Senior
Merou said
1.-THE invention is so absurd that I
find it somewhat hard to trouble you
with the request that you publish a
complete denial of it, The visit of Gen
eral ROca is friendly and cordial COM
pliment paid to a nation with which
we have the most pleasant political re-
lations. For many years. we have had
boundary controversy with Brazil,
inherited from the colonial times of the
respective countries, which was sub
mitted to the arbitration of President
Cleveland. With this cause of possible
misunderstanding among our peoples
removed, and finding at the head of the
Brazilian Government statesman Of
the highest attachments of President
Campo Sales, President Roca has I'M
doubtedly thought that it will be wise
and desirable to close the links that
unite the two most important republics
of South America by this visit
I'm reference to the United States,
can assure you that our relations with
tic trxy hoVy La1
more cordial than at present. The fact
that your Minister at Buenos Ayres
Mr.. Buchanan, who will soon return to
your shores, and will no doubt ratify
my statement, was selected as an UNI
pire in an important question pend
ing with Chile is ample proof of our
sentiments in regard to this country.
'In his recent annual message to the
Chambers General Roca paid a great
compliment to the United States Gov
eminent and it's worthy representatives.
and our Congress just at present has
under consideration a bill appropriating
the necessary funds to pay the travel
ing expenses and maintenance Of fifty
Argentine young men, who will come to
the United States to follow the courses
of some of your agricultural and me-
chanical colleges.
General Roca, whose character and
statesmanlike ability makes him one
of the most distinguished public men
on our continent, and whom I know
with intimacy, having been for time
his Private Secretary, is a great adj
mirer of the United States, and he fol.
lows with the deepest sympathy the
wonderful development of the American
people in all their paths of American
activity"

but one thing in this connection, and
that was the suppression of two resi,
ments of artillery pontoneers and the
creation of twenty-eight new batteries.
AS to the campaign formations OF
the artillery I was ignorant of them
and l am still ignorant of them to-day.
Moreover, according to one of the ques-
lions in an interrogatory, these CAM
paign formations for artillery did not
reach the staff until the month OF
June.
Il. Never at any time have l read
or had in my hands any document
about the Madagascar campaign.
IS. Never at any time have I had this
manual field artillery fire in my possess
sion. l was not even aware of it's pub
lication.'
Maitre Mornard at the hearing before
the Court of Cessation on June /, 1898,
submitted evidence showing that any
one of some eight hundred officers OF
the French army might, had he felt SO
inclined, have obtained the informa-
ton contained in the five documents
mentioned in the bordereau. Captain
Dreyfus was an artillery officer, and il
was highly improbable that he could
to refer to the hydraulic pneumatic
brake of the "12O court" as the "pneu-
matte brake" as stated in the border
eau. Moreover, it has been conclusively
shown by Maitre Mornard that as long
ago as August, 1894, circulars had been
issued at Chalons and elsewhere, for
the use of officers during the maneu
vers, giving descriptions, with litho-
graphs of four of the five subjects re-
ferred to in the bordereau; and as to
the note about the Madagascar cam.
paign, it is notorious that the plans Of
that campaign were discussed in coun
Gil at no less than four different Minis
tries and that over five hundred differ
ent individuals in Paris were fully cog

ton succeeds in proving that Captain
Dreyfus handed over to foreign power

toned in the bordereau, Captain Drey,
fus must be condemned as a traitor
and transported back again to Devils
Island. If, on the contrary, and this
seems now almost certainty, the

documents to- a foreign power, he must
be acquitted.
General de Galiffet, Minister of War.
has issued instructions to insure that
the court-martial shall not 'invalidate
its own future decisions by deciding
upon matters not involved in the issue.
These instructions simply pin the
court-martial down to the bordereau,

ecution the utmost freedom as to thu
methods they may see fit to use iii

Statements Made by Dewey

WASHINGTON, Aug. .5.-Regarding
the published statements accredited to
the French papers to the effect that
the Austrian Government made de-
mand on Admiral Dewey to confirm or
deny his alleged statements to the eff
feet that our next war would be with
Germany, the State Department Off
Gals point out that it would be a great
breach of diplomatic proprieties to
communicate on the subject with a
United States naval officer directly and
outside of the lawful course. 1t would,
moreover, be a matter of complaint
should Austria have addressed Ad-
miral Dewey on a matter relating en-
