Merritt Denies Story.

New York, Aug. 11.-S.nce the visit Of
Gen. Wesley Merritt to Secretary Root in
this city rumors have been current that
it has been settled that General Merritt
will succeed General Otis in the Philip
pines. When General Merritt was seen
in his home on Governors Island he said:
"Any story that I may succeed General
Otis in the Philippines is without founda-
ton. When Secretary Root was in the
city three or four days ago / dined with
him, and, Of course, l cannot discuss any
subject that may have come up. If am
ordered to Manila, l Will obey orders the
same as any army officer would do"

Worst Ever Experienced.

Ponce, Aug. 1.-THE worst storm ever
eX' erienced here struck this place Tues
day morning at O'Clock and lasted two
huIrs. 1t came from the northeast. Ponce
was flooded at midnight and al least 800
persons We're drowned. Two hundred
bodies, mostly those of poor people, and
including many children, We're recovered.
All buildings are damaged and thousands
have been destroyed. Soldiers and fire.
men worked au night heroically having
lives There is no drinking water, gas,
ice or electric light. The commissary
stores at Playa We're destroyed. The city
is short of food and army officers are dis
trihuting rations. Fifteen vessels in the
harbor were driven ashore. The weather
bureau predicted the storm, but it is
claimed Ponce was not warned. A mob
of 1000 persons threatened the alcalde,
Prrata Doria, but they We're dispersed by
the Fifth cavalry. The alcalde has been
deposed on account Of negligence. Major
Myers Of the Eleventh infantry is acting
as alcalde in response to popular demand.

Root Restores Harmony.

New York, Aug. 11.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Secre-
tary Root has acted in the role of peace
maker and adviser, and as a result every
one at the war department is pleased
with everybody else. The delightfully."-
harmonious condition Of affairs prevail
ing in department circles was brought
about by the secretary's announcement
that the order respecting the status of
the inspector generals office would be so
modified that it would be satisfactory to
everybody concerned. Now General Miles
is pleased, General breckenridge smiles,
and General Corbin is gratified. The only
man who seems to be a little weary is
the secretary himself, who for nearly f-Vo
hours today listened to learned disc IL
sion by General Miles why he should
have charge of the inspector general
equally with the secretary of war, and
why he should receive reports from artil-
lery and cavalry as heretofore. Upon the
conclusion of this conference the secre-
tary listened very carefully to General
Breckenridge. who is said to remain un-
der the control of General Miles, and to
General Corbin, ard the order as issued
will depart but little from that under
which the inspector generals department
has been conducted in the past. Thus
General Miles has secured victory over
former Secretary Alger and Secretary
Root has, temporarily at least, restored

ter of William Watson, was lynched
near Belle Buckle at an early hour to-
day. He was identified by his Vlctim,
who is in critical condition.
Washington, Aug. n.-Major Charles
F. Kiibourne. paymaster of the army,

LaWton May Get 1t.

New York, Aug. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Major
General Otis will remain in supreme COM
mand Of the Philippines. Should he re-
quest to be relieved, Major General Law
ton will be assigned to duty as his sue
cessor This is the decision reached by
the president and Secretary Root during
their conference at Lake Champlain. Sec
retary Root made no secret today Of the
purpose of the president to retain General
Otis in control at Manila, and so informed
General Miles at long conference. 1t is
evident that notwithstanding General
Merritt's expressed desire to return to
Manila he will not have the opportunity,
and even Lawton's promotion is condi-
tional upon the request Of Otis to be de-
tached from command.

This statement was made by Vice
Chairman Stone of the national demo-

about reports from Washington that he
was preparing to forsake Bryan and take
up Rear Admiral Schley as a candidate
for the democratic platform nomination.
Speaking Of the democratic conferences

Stone said:

self equal to the emergency. General
Miles favors sending additional cavalry,
but it is said that Secretary Root has no
intention at present of doing this. The op-
erations which General Macarthur is
conducting to the northward of San Fer
nando have double purpose-first, to de-
moralize the insurgents and prevent them
from Strengthening the positions they
have and, second, to establish himself at
point on the railroad connecting the
Gulf of Lingayen with Manila. General
Lawton's recent demonstration to the
southwark of Manila and the operations
generally are all part of Otis plan to

Canada'S Claim Unf0unded

New York, Aug. 11-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Clear evil
dence as to the growth of the present Ca
madam contention regarding the location
of the Alskan boundary line can be found
in comparison of official British and Ca
dian maps. 1t will be seen that Great
Britain has not adopted on the official
charts issued by the photographic offices
of the admiralty the line now contended
for by Canada, but has laid down upon
them, with possibly slight variations, the
identical line that is contended for by
the United States government. This is
shown by reference to the line as traced
on the admiralty chart of the Pacific ocean
of the edition of 1887, and on the admir-
atty chart of Alaskan waters in the edi-
ton of 1S9Stion of 1898. These lines differ
somewhat in the neighborhood of Mount
st. Elias, one following an arm of noun
tains and the other following the winding
of the coast, but as to the two essential
points in controversy both maps agree.
and both sustain the American claim.
BY following the winding of the coast at
Lynn canal, these lines, as will be readily
seen, throw the whole of the Lynn canal
! we'll inside the territory of the United
States. The Canadian claim as it stands
today has been arrived at by evolution.
| The treaty makes the boundary begin at
the southermost point of Prince OF Wales
island and "ascend to the north along the
channel called Portland channel" AS
Portland channel, which runs to the
| north, begins almost due south OF the
| southernmOst point of Prince of Wales
! island, the Canadians set up the conten-
ton that the treaty makers could not
have meant Portland channel but must
have had Behm canal in mind. In ac-
/ cordance with this view, Mr.. Smith, chief
commissioner of lands and works, in 1854
made a map in which he carried the line
! up Benin canal. Aside from this, the map
followed in a general way the line con-
tended for by the Americans.
1t was not until 1895 that the Canadian
contention took its present shape. In that
year Mr. Martin, the chief commissioner
of lands and works. published Il map
which shows the present Canadian con-
tenton in it's full development. he adopt
ed the same theory that his predecessor
did as to Portland channel, and ran his
line up Benin canal Then he abandoned
the winding of the coast which the theory
provided should be the guide in locating
the line 10 marine leagues therefrom, anc
basing his work on the contention thai
the treaty meant that the coast line
should be considered as running from
headland to headland, he laid down what
he termed the undetermined boundary
line. This line, it will be seen. crosses the
LYNN canal Immediately south OF Ber'
ner's bay and throws all of the upper par
of the canal, including Dyea, Skagway
Pyramid harbor and other settlement!
and the entrance into the harbor. and i
is contended by the representatives o
the United States that this would be di
rectly contrary to the provision OF th'
treaty.

Details Of Damage.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE war depart

General Davis, giving fuller details Of
the damage done in Porto Rico by the
hurricane:
Later reports show the hurricane was
far more severe in the interior and south
erJl part of the island than here. Data
for an estimate of the number of Porto
Ricans who have lost everything is de-
ficient, but I am forced to believe the
number on the island cannot fall below
100000 souls, and famine is impending. |
