Is AguinaIdO Deadf

COLUMBUS, o., Aug 3O.-A special
to The Dispatch from Hamilton, o.,
says: "F. o. Maya ana u. Tango, intelli-
gent japanese tea merchants of this city,
have received n copy of the Chu Kizo
Shinko, a newspaper printed in Nagoka,
Japan, July -. which contains dis
patch from Manila concerning the alleg-
ed death of Aguinado. Under the head
ing, New Philippine Information" the
paper prints the following: In the latter
part of June near San Fernando Aguinal-
do was kined by General Pho del Pillar.
Pillar visited him to- inquire about the
death of General Luna and Aguinaldo
answered that he never knew anything
about the case and told Pillar to mind his
own business. General Pillar then called
Aguinaldo liar and, pulling n pistol,
shot Aguinaldo in the forehead, killing
him instantly The Hamilton Japanese
are impressed with the reliability of the
paper and put great faith in the truth OF
the information it brings"

SHAMROCK ALL READY.
The CUP Challenger Mny Take Hei
First spin To-day.

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-Sir Thoma,
Iipton's squadron. consisting of tn,
steam yacht Erin. the challenging slool
Shamrock, the steam tender Nonowan
tuck, the vapor launch Kilowccn and Tia,
new storage scow, are Mt anchor of
Tompkinsvillc, Staten Island, all read,
for business. which is likely to begin to
day, when the Shamrock may take hci
first trial spin in American waters under
her racing rig.
In tow of the tug Lawrence. the Sham
rock left her pier in Erie basin at II 80
On her way out, when at point oppo
site the Boston drydock No. l. she
grounded on the east edge of the chan
mel. The steam drcdger Samson was
lying in midchanncl at work. There was
not room for the yacht to pass between
her and the west bank of the channel
She fetched up easily and was pulled off
in 10 minutes, but the incident developed
the fact that the Shamrock draws fully
"a feet of water, for soundngs taken
after she was clear showed that depth
where she had been.
1t is said that the Shamrock's present
rig is to be amplihed considerably when
she is in actual fighting trim. Those
who are depressed by that statement may
be consoled by the fact that she will pay
the penalties in time allowance to the
Columbia for every inch of sail she car
ries above the limit.

HEROlSM AT a FIRE.
st. Agnes Convent Mt spnrl<iII Conn
plcte1y Guttcd.

SPARKILL, n. Y, Aug. 2D.--A fierce
fire, swift and terrifying in its de-
structive power, swept through the group
of buildings at st. Agnes convent yes
terday and left in its ashen wake the
bodies of four victims. 1t wiped out
nine out of n total of ten buildings in the
group, and that it did not claim more
victims is due alone to the bravery in the
face of danger and death of the Sisters
of Charity who conducted the convent
and orphanage and the heroism of some
of the older inmates.
The fire occurred about | o'clock in the
morning and found the 400 tenants of the
institution asleep. There was Il hasty
but timely warning that started the he
roic work of rescue. Hundreds were got
out in almost perfect order, but score
who riskcd their lives to save others We're
finally forced to either jump from the up
per stories or make desperate dashes
through stairways and corridors filled
with flame and smoke.
The known dead are: Helen Brown,
aged & years; Emma Mackin, aged Z
years, Jane --, aged 40 years, and
Mary Kate Mccarthy, aged 2S years.

GAINESVILLE, o., Aug. 80. - AL
though the Democratic state ticket will
not be nominated till today, the result
was decisively forecasted in the pre-

not only the convention, but also all the

NEW YORK. Aug. 3O.-The Tribune
says: 1T was reported yesterday that a
New York syndicate representing the
Vanderbilt interests was negotiating for
the Western Maryland railroad as tide
water outlet 1t is said that the syndi-
cate would, if it secured control of the
road, make it the outlet for n new trunk

station officials of the New York Central

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29-The brief
Of General Wayne MacVeagh's argu-
ment in Captain Oberlin NJ. Carters be-
half before the court martial has been
made public. Captain Carter's trial and
conviction by the court of embezzling
large sums of money from the United
States government are known through
out the country. The briaf treats the
case exhaustively and asserts the abso-
lutte innocence of Captain Carter. 1t de-
nounces as "a sheer and absolute false
hood" the assertion that Captain Car
ter's friends and attorneys have repeat
edly pleaded with the president for him.
Ii denies with equal emphasis that these
friends and counsel have tried ''to delay
or smother investigation into his case"
II is declared that Captain Carter has
constantly urged the final and immedi'
ate disposition of his case.

amount have been made by British.
French and German residents in Cuba
during the recent insurrection, and
that these ultimately will be pressed
against the United States government.
The French claims aggregate between
12,0O0.O00 and 100000 francs. The
German claims are understood to be
slightly under those of the French.
while the British claims are said to
lie considerably more than either the
French or German.
These foreign claims are quite dis
tinct from those of citizens of tho
United States, originally against Spain,
for damages sustained in Cuba dur
ing the insurrection. The peace
treaty specifically provided for these
American claimants, releasing Spain
and stating that the United States
would make such settlement as was
proper. Under this clause claims ag-
gregating several millions have been
filed. No provision. however, was
made by the treaty for foreign claim
ants. and there appears to be much
doubt as to who is liable. since the
sovereignty over Cuba has passed out
of the hands of Spain. The United
States having undertaken to look after
the American claimants, the foreign
ers are DESTROYS of being treated in tho
same manner 1t is appreciated in the
foreign establishments here that pay-
ments will be largely a matter of dis
erection with the United States
