EDITOR LETTMOUR'S MISSION.
to Obtain the Removal of
General Otis.

War Department officials express doubts
as to the reported mission of Editor Lett
mour, said to be proprietor of the Manila
American, who arrived at Vancouver, B.
c., yesterday, for the alleged purpose of
urging on the authorities here the removal
of General Otis. and the promotion of Cen
eral Lawton to the command Of the United
States forces in the Philippines. Late

the War Department, have at the head of
their editorial column the names of w. ].
Matthews as editor, and H. F. Seymour as
manager, and there is no mention of any
Editor Lettmour. Ofhcers who have re-
turned from Manila say they do not recall
Lettmour's connection with the paper, but
General Corbin locates him as a former en-
listed man OF the Utah Battery. The Amer
ican officers have considerable interest in
the Manila newspaper, as number of them
contributed to securing its publication in

cemetery, which has been up to this time
unmarked except by beautiful magnolia

the matter in hand. The stone is native
granite and appropriately inscribed. 1t

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 18.-Jack McCor-
Mccoy in about one minute tonight.
The bout was to have been for six
rounds and it was generally thought
that Mccormick stood no show at ALL
The fight was under strict Queensberry
rules, hitting with one arm permitted.
When the gong sounded Mccormick
started in to rush things, relying on
his greater weight and superior strength
to offset McCoys science. He received
a straight left in the mouth and saw
aeg left hook on the side of the head.
He then rushed twice more, carrying
Mccoy to the ropes both times. The
first time he hit Mccoy over the kid
news with his right. The second time,
as they came from the ropes still
clinched, Mccoy sent left hook to
McCormick's cheek dropping him to the
floor Mccormick lay quiet, making
pretence of claiming a foul although
none had been committed. Mccormick
rose on the order of the referee and the
men squared off once more. Mccoy
was moving cautiously dluuilu MCCoI-
mick, both hands low down, when Nc
Cormick suddenly let fly his right and
it landed on the jaw. Mccoy went
down like a dead man on the back.
Pandemonium broke loose in the hall
and there were wild yells for McCor-
mick and shrieks of "get up Kid"
Referee Hogan knelt beside Mccoy and
shouted his call of the seconds in the
fighters ear, but Mccoy was past all
hearing. At the word ten he raised his
head slightly and Hogan paused an in
stant before he shouted out, but Nc
Gov was still out of it. Thirty 5
were necessary to fetch him out. Tha
general opinion seemed to be that Nc
Gov lost the fight through excess of
confidence. Mccoy after the fight de-
clared that he had been knocked out
by chance blow.

MURDER IN FITCHBU URG, MASS.
Second in Its History-First Occurred
Five Days Ago.

Fitchburg, Mass, Aug. 1S.-The Sec
oud murder in five days in this city,
where there never was a murder before,
occurred last night, and the body of the
victim an Armenian named Mahan
Hartman, was found this morning on
the Robinson farm near the Ashburn-
ham town line. His brother-in law,
Karap Copegian, is under arrest, charg-
ed with the crime. Hartman married
a sister of Copegian, and for some time
there has been trouble between the men
which resulted in Copegian and his wife
being ordered away from the colony,
and Copegian is said to have sworn
vengeance in true Armenian style. This
morning Hartinian's mother -in-law
found his dinner pail by the roadside
Upon taking it home blood stains were
found upon it and she at once formed
in her mind a reason why he did not
come home Thursday night. All the
Armenians, including Tartinian's wife
and two small children, at once went
back to the road where the pail was
found, and in the bushes was found the
dead body af Hartman Mrs Hartini-
an, remembering the family troubles,
suspected her own brother, Copegian,
and, driving to the police station re-
ported the crime named her brother as
the probable assailant and told where
he lived. An officer went to his home
and placed him under arrest.

81 YIT4TION AT CAMP LOUNSB URY.
Believed TO be Excellent-EffOrtst to Fur
ntsh Pure Water.

Hartford, Conn, Aug 1S,-From facts
ascertained at the adju.ant generals S
office it is believed that the sanitary
conditions of Camp Lounsbury will be
of the highest degree of excellence and
every effort towards furnishing the
boys, during their week at camp, with
pure drinking water has been made In
addition to this also Camp Lounsbury
has been thoroughly disinfected in ev-
cry particular. and new tents, mat
tresees and tent floors have been sup
piled. A sample of the water has been
forwarded to the Stevens Institute of
Technology for analysis, and it proved
to be very superior quality of drink
ing water. Prof H. w. Conn of Wes-
leyan university in his report to Briga-
dier General ]. Francis Calef surgeon
general, states in regard to the new well
recently sunk at Mantle: "The water,
so far as physical properties are con-
cerned, is an ideal drinking water, and
so far as can be determined by chem
ical and meteorological examination,
exceptionally pure and beyond suspi-
cion." The above is further confirmed
by the report of Prof. A. p. Bryant of
Middletown. The conditions surround
ing this new well are such as to indicate
no likelihood of contamination from
the camps.

ARRIYAL OF THE SHAMROCK.
British Cup Challenger at New York
Trip Across the Atlantic.

New York, Aug. 18.-With Sir Thorn
as Liptons private signal, shamrock
on gold ground, bordered by broad
band of green at her topmast truck,
and the British naval reserve ensign at
her jigger masthead, the hull of the
challenging yacht Shamrock, swinging
at anchor to the ebb tide off Tompkins-
vile this morning bore striking re-
semblance to that of the Columbia. She
is painted a light green. If painted
white it would be difficult matter at
distance to distinguish the yachts by
their hulls. In the trip across the At
lantic the Shamrock carried a loose
footed mainsail or heavy canvas, hav-
ing, besides three sets of reef points,
bonnet" in the foot Of it. Her jib
stay sets UP with a turn buckle to the
end of a bowsprit, extending not more
than four feet outboard. No gaff was
carried on the jigger mast, the sail be-
ing of the leg-of-mutton type.
Straight as a reed and very strong is
the Shamrock's main mast 1t is held
by three steel shrouds on each side, set
up with turn buckles, A great deal of
green paint has been washed off the
bows of the yacht, where she pounded
in the heavy sweHs, leaving her bronze
plates bare and showing the fine smooth
rivetting work done by the builders
Besides big lap streak cutter carried
on pair of bat brass davits, the Sham
rock carried two collapsible lifebote on
deck. Her long tiller with which she
was steered is covered with canvas.
Conspicuous on the yachts deck amid
ships between the skylights and water
ways are four very large hardwood
cleats, secured by brass bolts There
are two on each side. Presumably one
is used for Delaying the main sheet and
one for the fore staysail sheet. Two
smaller wooden cleats, forward of those
are for the jib sheets.
The deck itself is of Steel covered at
present with tarred canvas. There are
fore and aft battens, like those used on
the Columbia and Defender, to prevent
the crew from sliding overheard during
a race. The crew are sturdy looking
lot of Scotch and Englishmen. They
wore blue jerseys bearing the words
Shamrock r. U. Y. c." The same
words appear on the yachts. The steam
yacht Erin flies, besides Sir Thomas
Lipton's private signal, the colors of
the Royal Ulster Yacht club. The Erins |
principal dimensions are: Length over
all, 264.7 feet; on water line, 252 feet;
beam, 31.65 feet; drafts, 16 feet. Her |
