HAS FAITH IN THE SHAMROCK
skipper HOgarth Thinks the Chal-
lenger for the Americas Cup
Good One.

Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, June 10.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Speclal Telegram.)-I had talk
today with Captain Hogarth and Wringe Of
the Shamrock about the forthcoming con-
test and found both busy with the arrange
ments for floating their boat about the
end OF this month. Nothing is being left
undone to make the vessel right. When
launched it will go to Cowes to be fitted
out by Ratzee, and any racing it will do
on this side will be unofficial and against
the Britannia. In the matter of manning
the Shamrock Is the best equipped boat
which ever crossed over.
THE crew will not only be the best to
be obtained on this side" said Hogarth,
but they are the best paid and best kept.
Most of the Scotch have sailed in big boats,
some in the Thistle. Calluna and Meteor,
and l am satisfied about their ability. The
Englishmen hail mostly from Wringe's place
and both of us know them very we'll Many
were in America with Cranfield and Syca-
more on the last race with Valkyrie. Others
sailed on Aisa with Wringe, both here and
on the Riviera. 1t stands to reason the
crew is the best that can be got, for, as
Sir Thomas told you, money is not being
spared in making the boat as nearly perfect
as possible. My own brother Malcolm
skipper of the fifty-two foot linear rater
Forsor last year. is one of the ordinary
hands, which gives some idea Of the caliber
OF the rest"
About the officers. Oh" said Wringe
''you know most OF them. Rowe was mate
with Carter on the Britannia in 1897 and with
Hogarth on the Isolde last year. Stewart was
second mate on the Thistle with Barr and
Livingston was also on the last Valkyre' -
"The experience OF the crew." added Ho-
garth sis pretty much similar. OF the
whole company should say all except per-
haps ten have sailed in races for cups. We
have had everybody's help in making lis
crew and naturally we have made a good
job OF it.
| "What about the boat? It is all right
| too. If you don't mind my saying so. We
| don't know whether we are going to win
but we intend to try to avoid losing
That's So" added Wringe. Eve are no
crossing on a pleasure excursion, and If thu
Americans don't know all about the Sham,
rock now they will later on, 1t is a very
good boat, as you people will admit wher
you see It,"
Last night It was learned from a source
which cannot be questioned that guests o
Sir Thomas Upton will view the great rae
from the deck of the mammoth line
Oceanic, which shows the company certainl!
will be big one.

STEAMER PARIS Is DOOMED
All Hope of Saving the Big Liner
Abandoned-ShipG Going
to Pieces.

COVERACK, Cornwall, June 10.-The
American line steamer Paris, which ran on
the rocks off the Manacles May 81,
is now known to be doomed. A
southeast wind is blowing, bringing
in heavy seas. which are driving
the steamer astern landmarks. Its boilers
have shifted, its false bottoms are gone and
the divers unable to work. The officers
of the steamer leave it today.
With the exception of about dozen men
who remain with the captain and three Of
ficers, all the crew of the Paris have left
it. On the arrival of the last batch OF the
crew at Falmouth, to be paid off fracas
occurred with the agents or underwriters.
The agents refused to pay the mems fares
home, which the sailors strongly resented,
as they had stood by the ship until nearly
the end There is now nearly thirty feet
of water in the hold of the Paris.
The quartermaster who was on deck when
the steamer struck says he saw a warning
flare from pilot boat, but 1t was not inter-
preted as a sign the Paris was in dangerous
position. The ships helm was nearly star
boarded in order to clear the pilot boat and
the course west-northwest was Immediately
resumed. He adds that but for this tempor-
airy alteration the Paris would have sunk
alongside the Mohegan.
NEW YORK, June 1O-Mr. Wright of the
American line said today that the company
had decided to build a ship to replace the
Paris. 1--WE shall probably build it in the
United States" he said, "if American ship,
yards are not too busy to take the order
/ do not know what company we will &c
to- In fact no details have been decided
on as yet"
1t Is said a vessel equal to the st. Louis
or st. Paul would cost $4,000, 900 in this
country and it could be built for some
thing less abroad.

GERMANS OBJECT TO SECRECY
Cause Misleading Reports to BE Sent
Out Regarding the Peace
Conference.

THE HAGUE, June 10.-The chief dele
gates to the peace conference met today to
discuss German complaints against the
secrecy imposed upon the delegates and the
consequent of misleading reports published
and it is understood that Count Munster
head of the German delegation, was in
structed to propose that the protocols for
the plenary sittings of the committees be
published Immediately after they are drawn
up.
American delegates tell the representative
here of the Associated Press that they are
still confident OF the adoption of some of
their chief projects for arbitration, but the
preliminary discussion yesterday indicates
the impossibiity of maintaining them all.
For instance, it Is impossible to carry the
proposal that the judges Of the arbitration
tribunal be elected by the highest court of
Justice Of each country, as some of the Eu-
ropean countries do not possess a judicial
organization permitting such procedure. 1t
is expected that the likeliest outcome will
be that each country will be free to choose
the manner of nominating its own judges.
The Americans propose to insist upon a
permanent tribunal. II this is impossible
they hope to obtain at any rate the institu-
tion OF a permanent commission. They will
also insist on other points.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-According to
private advices reaching here from The
Hague, there is grave danger that one and
all of the arbitration schemes before the
conference will fail. 1t is said that Ger
many is markedly hostile to the arbitration
principle and is making an active canvass
to secure the support of some of the second
rate powers in its opposition. II this move
ment is successful, even in limited degree
it is feared that arbitration is doomed, so
far as the conference is concerned, for to
carry any weight and show practical results

BILLION DOLLAR BEER TRUST
Scheme Said to BE on Foot to Control
the Output of American
Brewerics.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 1O-The trust
mania has reached the brewers and 1t Is
said on the best of authority that a scheme
is on foot to form trust with 81 900 600 900
capital and buy all the breweries in tho
country. 1t is said that the scheme, which Is
at present only in its inception, received i'm
petus at the national convention of brewers
at Detroit, when plans were discussed Sc
cretly.
While the trust is only in the formative
stage enough men of capital are behind 1t,
judging from reports, to warrant the belief
that the American beer drinker will soon
have no other alternative than to quench
his thirst on the product Of a trust.
Albert Lieber, manager of the brewery
syndicate of this city, which includes the
three largest breweries here tonight con-
frmed the story Of the combination of a big
brewery trust. Mr.. Lieber had just returned
from Detroit, and after learning the story
was out, said:
"a Pittsburg broker named Murkle, repre-
sentlng the American Mailing company, has
just closed a deal involving $92, ,OOO, ,Ooo
whereby all the Pennsylvania brewers were
consolidated. This was one OF the first steps
in the big scheme. Options are now out on
number of Indiana breweries and the same
is true of other states. The principal factor
in the big scheme is Seymour Scott, a
wealthy broker of New York City, who had
been working on it for some time
"The scheme is a stupendous one and II
will require at least three years to perfect
it. The American Mailing company already
has monopoly on all the malt produced in
this country. The distillerles will all be
bought up, and also the 1900 breweries. I
should say it will at least require 81, 900, ,oOO.-
900 to do the work. The consumer will nor
lose Beer will remain at 5 cents glass -

American soldiers from that cause.

General Lawtons force consisted OF two
battalions each OF the Twenty-frst and
Ninth infantry, six companies of the Colo
RADIO volunteers and detachment of artil-
lery. The Nevada cavalry was under Cen
eral Wheaton and the Thirteenth and Four
teenth infantry, the Fourth cavalry and a
detachment Of light artillery were under
General Ovenshine.
IT was scarcely dawn when the troops, in
a long, silent procession, wound up the hill
side behind the American trenches ana
formed skirmish line. Concealed in the
jungle the advance rebel outposts fired a
few shots before being seen.
The opposing forces occupied two ranges
of cresoent-shaped hills.
The artillery, the Colorado infantry and
the Nevada cavalry swung around the hill
top on the left and opened the battle at $50.
The rebels made no response from the hills
and the Colorado men cautiously advanced
through the thick grass until they were con-
fronted by a trench, from which few weak
volleys were fired. A spirited response fol-
lowed and charge into the trench found it
to be deserted.
