Admiral Watson Suf-
fering' From Heart
Trouble.
FLEET BUSINESS SUSPENDED
Illness Brought On By an
Accident to Launch of
the Baltimore.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The United
States Army and Navy Register tomor-
row will say:
Recent letters from Manila mention
the illness of Admiral Watson as the
source of great anxiety to his officers
The illness is the effect of an accident
which occurred to his launch while ne
was on board on the 18th of July. The
Baltimore, his flagship, has been for
some time at Cavite, leaving Manila sc
as to escape the full force of typhoons
Requiring to make trip up the riv-
er, the admiral started in his launch
A strong wind was blowing and as the
launch, the Undine, went under tbs
bridge under the river, known as the
Bridge of Spain, the strong current
aided by the wind set against the little
boat, and she was taken out of her
course and thrown against a hawSer
from a sailing vessel. This rope carried
away the awning and smokestock
Admiral Watson, sitting in the for
ward part of the launch and witness
ing the full danger of the accident
showed no appearance of having been
startled by the occurrence or in any
way Of having suffered by it,
Later, however. in fact before the
return to his flagship, serious heart
trouble developed and he was regard
ed as extremely ill Up TO date of the
letters of the 18th. No one but his
physician is allowed access to him ano
all business of the fleet is forbidden
1t is hoped, however, that the enforced
quiet may restore him to health.

The ocean swept over the strip of land

houses were wrecked. At New Inlet

was no loss of life here that 1 was able
to ascertain.
There were several wrecks along the
coast between Chicamacomico and Oc-
racoke, and the life-saving crews did
noble work in saving life.
AT Durant's station, near Hatteras
inlet, 300 bales of cotton have come
ashore, together with 200 cords of oak
slaves. The cotton was evidently
shipped from New Orleans. The bow

in the morning with the hurricane at
its height and rain falling in torrents
The surfman saw a mass Of wreckage

This was the stern of the barkentine

In this way he saved six. Four others

surfman finally made his way to the

CALLAHAN REPLIES.
HoIyoke Chairman Has Pointed Words
for Mayor Quincy.

Springfield, Aug 25.-Christopher T.
Callahan of Holyoke, chairman of the
democratic state committee, gave out
a statement tonight in reply to the pro-
test of Mayor Quincy of Boston against
the action of that committee in voting
to elect delegates to the next naional
convention at the coming state conven-
ton.
The statement is devoted entirely to
an arraignment of Mayor Quincy's at
titude toward Mr.. Bryan and the Chi
cago platform, and questions are asked
of him as to his refusal to declare him
self in favor of democratic policies in
recent campaigns. Mr.. Callahan says
the proposed procedure was used in 1880
and at that time caused no tumult
In conclusion Mr.. Callahan says that
he believes the mood of the Massaehu-
sets democracy just now is that the
truants may come back, but not take
their former positions until they have
proven their loyalty.

" ABSOLUTELY INNOCENT"
DECLARES Mr.. MOLINEUX
His Answer to a Question Asked
Abruptly During the Adams
Inquest.


NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-The men whose
names have been most intimately con-
nected with the death of Mrs Kate j.
Adams were on the witness-stand to-day
before Coroner Hart and jury, and were
put through a rigid cross-examination by
Assistant District Attorney Osborne, who
nish, who gave the poison to Mrs. Adams
was the first witness called this morn
ing, and at the afternoon session B. Mol
fneux, who had been named by Cornish on
the stand as the man he believed to have
sent the poisoned bromo-seltZer through
the mails, was called.
Cornish was again to-day somewhat
reticent and equivocal in his answers to
questions put to him, and in one instance,
at least, occasioned a good deal of sur
prise. In an interview with a number
O. newspaper reporters previous to the
commencement of the examination Cor
nish, when asked If he knew Mrs. Mol
ineux, and If she could have had an in
terest in the case, said he wished
the Assistant District Attorney would ask
him that question on the stand. "A man
woman" said Cornish, "but 1 am here to
tell the truth If 1 am asked such ques-
ton"
This seemed strange statement at the
time, and Assistant District Attorney Os-
borne put those very questions to him,
to which Cornish made the answer, II
never saw Mrs. MolineuX to know her,
and never saw her when she was Blanche
Chesebrough."
Cornish gave way on the stand tempo
rariy to Molineux. Osborne asked the
witness abruptly If he was ir1nocent of the
poisoning of Mrs. Adams IIolineux re-
piled, 81 iam absolutely innocent"

in charge of Engineer Charles T. Sampson, who
had charge of the steamer previous TO NoVem-
Der II. Neither of these officers had reported
the fact to the local inspectors as ii was their
sworn duty to do. Upon this condition OF facts.
the inspectors suspended the Licenses of the
three persons named, one for three months,
and the others for two months each, thus ex-
their authority in the case under the
section of law heretofore mentioned. The only
legal authority to reopen this case is by an
a appeal of one or of all the suspended officers
from the decision of the local inspectors under
the provisions of the Revised Statutes. as you
were previously informed in the supervising in
spector's letter to you dated January 6. Re-
ferring to the statement in your letter that
no opportunity was presented to the owners OF
the T c. Walker to offer expert testimony
or to assist in any other way to show the cause
of said explosion, you are informed that under
the law the conduct of the investigation was
wholly discretionary with the local inspectors,
and unless IL can be shown that you offered
TO furnish testimony to the inspectors pending
the investigation and that they had unreason-
ably refused to consider the same, this de-
partment can take action thereon.
BY direction of the Secretary of War,

DENVER, Feb. 10.-The apparently
interminable snowstorm on the noun
tains in the vicinity of Leadville re-
sumed sway early to-day after brief
respite during the night. However. the
wind and cold had abated and the
conditions were more favorable for the
work of breaking down the snow bar
I. riers which have closed the railroads
and cut many mountain towns off from
communication with the outside world.
On the Colorado Midland a large
force of men working under the direc-
ton of Agent Sneve succeeded in
breaking the blockade at Snowden and
brought in thirty cars of coal
The Midland people believe they will
not need the assistance of snow SHOW
elers at work on the Rio Grande. but
by tomorrow will have their road en-
tirely open. They started a train from
.Leadville this afternoon, bound for
Denver.
Present indications are that the
downtown mines have coal enough to
last from three to five days, and a sup
ply will be rushed to the Little Johnny
and other outlying mines. There are
plenty of provisions in the camp and
more are promised from the East to-
morrow. A shortage which is felt very
much is that of mining timberS, which
cannot be obtained owing to the deep
snow. The shortage will delay develop
ments for several months.
= The situation at Aspen is as desperate
as at Leadville. No trains are running
TO the great silver camp on the west
OF the range, and it is reported that
the mines there are closing for want
of fuel There have been some snow
slides in the camp, but no fatalities
have resulted, so far as known. Noun
tain roads to surrounding camps have
been impossible, as the high winds
have piled up the snow fifteen to twen-
ty feet in places. The telephone line
from -Aspen to Hunter Pass has un-
doubtedly been swept away by a slide,
as 1t went down several days ago. A
large force of men is at work shovel
ing out the road to these mines
e West of Leadville the railroads are
still tied up tightly. In the canyon of
the Grand there have been six snow
slides. One of them was 490 feet in
length and thirty-fve feet deep. In
it are huge powders and trees.
= The snow shovelers at Shoshone
struck to-day for an increase of wages
from 81 Is TO S2 80 day.
= A snowstorm with a cold wind from
the north began here to-day and should
another very cold wave follow it will
. undoubtedly have disastrous effect on
the livestock upon the ranges.
