GOES TO ms son.
Mrs. Dewey Conveys the House to the
Admirsli's Son.

| 4 " . . 4 : j -
Washington, Nov. 22-Papers were
drawn up yesterday by Mrs. Mildred
Dewey, wife of the Admiral, transfer
ing all right and title in the Dewey
home to the admiraps son, George
Goodwin Dewey. 5
In explanation of the transaction
practically completed yesterday, rel
alive of the Dewey family made this
statement to the Associated Press:
admiral and Mrs. Dewey have trans
ferred to the formers son, George
Goodwin Dewey, the title to the ,home
presented to the admiral by the people
of this country. 1t will continue to
be the home OF Admiral and Mrs.
Dewey as long as the latter may live.
1t may be desirable now TO say that
it was the wish of both Admiral and
Mrs. Dewey to provide for the proper
succession to the property. The trans
fer of today completes transaction
begun yesterday, and is the carrying
out only of the original intention OF
both Admiral and Mrs. Dewey. By
all those interested in the matter the
method of transfer adopted was co.'s
sidered the best and safest that could
have been adopted. 1t is to be consid-
cred, naturally, that the transfer was
to be the act of Mrs. Dewey as we'll as
of the admiral. 1t was her desire that
she should release any claim she might
have to the property through her mar
riage to the admiral and TO do this the
transfer was made through her TO the
admiralss soon as soon as it was prac-
ticable. Through the method adopted,
no dispute can arise over the DISPOSE
ton of the property"

New York, Aug. 80 Tho steamer
Caracas, which arrived today. brought
a number of passengers from Porto
Rico. One of the passengers sad:
"The desolation at the town and har-
Dor of Ponce is appalling. The number
of deaths among the people has not,
as yet, been ascertained, but 1T will
certainly number 5000; the whole
island, probably 1000. The destitu-
tion ia being relieved as rapidly as pos
sible by the government officials. The
lower classes of the people, however,
are inclined to be troublesome, and 1t
is feared there will be an outbreak
among them. The place has been
stricken by food by the will of God, ;
they say; complete the work by fire.
And they threaten to put the town to
the torch. The night before We sailed,
the garrison OF 400 troops were under
arms, expecting trouble.
'Tbe first act of the government,
after the hurricane, was to order the
distribution OF $4,000 among the
needy. / met distributing officer,
who gave the following as an example
of his di fiiculty in the performance OF
this duty: At small country town in
the interior, the officer decided to give
5000. He started two planters, one an
American and the other an English
man, as representative men. to dis
tribute the funds among the poor and
destitute. These two selected a Porte
Rican as the third member OF the com.
mittee. After the money was turned
over to the committee, the Porto Ricar
said: we will distribute 500; tht
government haa owed me s100 for Z
long time, and now is my oppor'
tunity.'"
Another passenger from San QUAR-
says that the destruction caused by thu
hurricane is not so severe MS reported

Hewitt, Joseph Fogg, John I. Clark
and John English, Jersey truckers,
charged with violating the fire ordi-
nance by erecting a frame building on
the Stevenson property, near Front

is shed and not violation of the law.
