FAVORABLE TO EXPANSION.
Representative Clayton Believes in
Prosecuting the War.

Prosecuting the War.
Representative Clayton. a newly elected
Democratic member of the New York dele
cation, in the next House Of Representa-
tives, was in Washington yesterday and
called upon the Secretary of War in re-
gard to matters of interest to his Brook
lyn constituency.
To Times reporter Mr.. Clayton spoke
candidly in regard to the attitude of New
York Democrats On expansion, and the
feeling of his own constituency in refer
ence TO the Van Wyck boom for the Presi-
dency.
THE people of New York are, l think.
In favor Of what is called the policy of
expansion. We believe that the Philippine
territory belongs TO the United States
legally by the right of conquest. We are
in favor of keeping up the war until the
rebellion is ended and until peace and or
der are secured for the islands. We think.
as | have intimated. that every act so far
done by the United States Government has
been sanctioned By law and dictated by
wisdom. If. however, we believed other
wise, We would, under present conditions
In the islands, be Compelled to carry on
the war and to extirpate those who at
tempt to resist the authority of the United
States Government
Concerning the Van wyck boom, Mr.
Clayton said that had the Tammany meet
ing been held in Brooklyn instead of New
York, the Hogg incident would have been
impossible. There is no man in Brooklyn
so popular as Judge Van Wyck," said he.
He is widely known and universally re-
spected and admired. 1t was only natural
that his friends in New York should have
thought Of him in reference to the Presi-.
dency. New York-is not in favor of an
extremist on the financial question Mr.
Bryan was defeated In 1896 by 26s, 900
plurality. If he should run next year ne
would be defeated in the State by over
300 600 votes"

DEVASTATION IN NEW JERSEY.

Someryille, n. j., July 13.-The heav-
lest thunder storm of the season struck

accompanied by hail, which did great
damage to crops in the lower part of

The crew of the tug consisted OF Mat

HEAVY EXPENDITURES.
The Rapid Growth of the Treasury
Deficit Explained.


The expenditures OF the Government for
the first twelve days of July have exceeded
the receipts by s9.7O3.116. as against a
surplus OF nearly SIC, 600, 900 for the pre-
ceding month. This deficit is not due to
a falling off in receipts, which are more
than normal. but to the heavy drafts on
the new appropriations. which became
available at the beginning of the new fiscal
year. The expenditures for pensions so
far this month have been heavy, footing
up to S9.050,000. while the payments of
interest on bonds have taken out of the
Treasury $4,000, goo, and the War Depart
ment is charged with $4,000 some of
which will be used TO pay off the volun-
teers returning from the Philippines.
The receipts from internal revenue so
far this month have been greater by
S1.313.61 than for the same period last
July. notwithstanding the fact that the
latter month was the first under the OPP
Grafton OF the war revenue act. The re-
ceipts from customs also show an in
crease of s1,211, 1892. while the expenditures
for the first twelve days Of the two years

GUATEMALA's BOND TROUBLES.
No Disposition TO Enforce American
Claims With warships.

No Disposition to Enforce American
Claims With wnrships.
The news dispatches from New Orleans
telling OF the disturbed condition OF af-
fairs in Guatemala owing to the repudia-
abroad attracted considerable interest at
the State Department yesterday. 1t was
said by officials of the Department, how
ever, that this Government would not
send any naval force to Guatemalsn
waters and that no information had been
received here to confirm the report that
Great Britain and Germany would send
warships there to back up their protest
against the reputation Of the bonds held
by British and German subjects.
Some Of these bonds are in the posses
sion of American citizens. and represent
ations have been made to the Government
of Guatemala by the State Department
against the reputation. The view OF this
Government is that it would be against
precedent and public policy to send war
vessels to Guatemala to prevent the Gov
ernment OF that country from repudiating
the bonds. The bonds were taken by
Americans and other foreigners at very
low rate, and it was understood at the
time. according to the official understand
ing here, that the venture was largely
speculative. 1t is held that ii the spec
ulation did not yield the large profits ex-
pected the subscribers TO the issue can
blame only themselves, as they went into
the speculation with their eyes open. 1t
is not likely, therefore. that this Govern
ment viii make any demonstration against
Guatemala, but will confine itself to the
ordinary diplomatic channels in urging
the assent of Guatemala to its representa-
tions.
Should foreign Governments make any
demonstrations leading to the suspicion
that there was danger of violation of the
Monroe doctrine. United States naval ves-
sells will unquestionG5iy be sent to Guats-
mala, but this Government is not in ia
vor of collecting the debts OF individual
American citizens by force.
