any further danger of infection from

not encouraging. DR.. Cant writes that

Washington, September 2O.-In an in
terview with a Post reporter today,
Senator Mason, of Illinois, said:
'On the floor of the senate / shall
continue my opposition to the war upon
the Philippines. L would sooner resign
my seat than treat a dog the way we
are treating those people. l am asham-
ed of my country.
People make a great mistake" he
continued, when they say that l am
against expansion. / am not. But ex-
pansion by purchase or other honorable
means is one thing; expansion by force
is another. / do not believe that there
was any necessity for this war upon the
FilipinOs. l believe that if we had
adopted a resolution in congress, as
suring those people, as we assured the
Cubans, that we had no selfish designs
upon them, we never would have met
with any opposition in the Philippines.
The fact is, we have given the Filipino:
every reason to distrust US. and they
are fighting for their own liberty.
Talk about hauling down our flag"
continued Senator Mason. will not
our flag come down in Cuba? Certainly
it will, if we are true ito our promises.
And the day that it comes down will
be the brightest day in our history, be-
cause it will show that we are a great,
unselfish nation, devoted to the eternal
principles OF right and honesty. If the
Cubans want to be annexed later, that
is another question. Why cannot we
deal with the Filipinos in the same
way?"

New York, September 20.-The af-
fairs of the Ranapo Water Company
occupied the attention of the Mazet In
vestigating committee again today with
the ordinary poor result. Very little il
formation of any kind was obtained.
H NJ. c. Ingram, one Of the counsel
of the Ramapo Water Company. who
drafted the Ramapo water contract,
drew attention 10 the radical difference
between his copy Of the contract and
the one approved by the corporation
counsel. he was asked Il two forms
of contract had been submitted by coun-
sci 10 Mr. Whalen, and told the COM
mittee 10 draw their own differences.
Chief Engineer Birdsall was another
witness. He said that the Ramapo
plan appeared feasib.e 20 him, but he
declined TO answer whether he thought
that such contract would be Of bene-
fit TO the city.
General Charles II. Collins, formerly
commissioner OF public works, test
fed 10 having had the Ramapo Com
pany's scheme presented to him IN his
term of Office, with the familiar argu-
ment Of a coming scarcity OF water.
He investigated the subject Of scarcity
and found that the city had an abun-
dance for many years TO come.
Corporation Counsel Whalen was
called to the stand, but there was no
response. He had been called yester-
day also, but failed to respond then.
Mr.. Moss declared he was unable 10 get
any explanation of Mr.. Whalea's abb
Sence
Secretary lamont of the RamapC
Water Company, was also among the
missing, and as he is declared to have
in his possession the books and impor-
tant papers of the company which tht
committee are anxious TO examine, j
is considered important that he shoulC
put in an appearance.
All of the officials of the compan!
thus far examined have been unabl,
to give the information desired by tn
committee ON account Of Mr.. LamOn
having the books.
The committee today also went in
to some of the affairs of the dock de
partment, and the fact was ELECTED tha

to one or another company withou

Pasque Island, September 20.-The
wreckers who have arrived at the
scene of the stranding of the steamer
Cherokee, which went aground on the
grave yard" Naushon island, yester-
day, were unable to do much work
this morning, owing to the southeast
erly gale which sprung up suddenly in
the morning. The tugs Taurus and
Mercury arrived with the wrecking
lighter alongside the steamer early, but
as the roughness of the water increas-
ed, the wrecking master was obliged to
order the tugs into harbor for safety.
Although the gale has not injured the
Cherokee nor caused her to change pO-
sition, it is feared that if the storm
continues any length of time, it will be
very difficult to save her.
AS soon as the gale subsidies the
wreckerS will resume work. The cargo
will first be lightered and an attempt
then made to patch up the hole in the
forward part of the vessel.
Owing to the fact that the Cherokee
went ashore on Naushon island at a
point we'll up Vineyard sound, the is
land of Marthas Vineyard and the
long arm of Gayhead protected her in
a great measure from the fury of the
southeast gale and from the great seas
which came rolling in during the day.
Nevertheless, she pounded considerably
and tonight her engine is flooded; but
as the wind shifted to the north and
northwest during the afternoon the sea
became calmer and tonight there is
every reason to believe that the vessel
will be ultimately saved.
The weather tonight has cleared COM
pletely, and it is expected the wreck
ers will begin work early in the morn
