RECEIVED TRAVEL PAY.
Not in Any Way Responsible for
Discharged Troops

WASHINGTON, May lot is stated
at the War Department that there are
no discharged troops in Porto Rico to
which the Government is responsible in
any way.
When Secretary Alger was in Porto
Rico large number of men who had
enlisted in the regular army for the
war with Spain asked to be discharged
and in lieu of being returned to the
United States by the Government to re-
ceive travel pay in money 1t was be-
lieved that these men would settle in
the island and go to work to improve
the conditions. 1t is supposed that
the money that was paid to them
amounting to two or three hundred dol
lars each, has been expended, and they
are now without means of subsistence
The Adjutant General telegraphed
General Davis to-day asking him if
there were any discharged men there
who had not been paid off. 1t is the
intention Of the department to pay such
men at once. Most of the men dis
charged from the regular organizations
have returned at different times on
Government transports to the United
States.

yesterday to see the water running
through The waste gate dumps the
water back into the Tuolumne River
from a bluff about 100 feet high. The
drop has four breakoffs SO the force IS
broken in the fall. The woodwork OF
the gate is securely cabled to the bluff
so that it does not seem possible for ii
to break out.
S. ]. Erwin was in town to-day and
he informed US that the water in the
canal rose much higher than the waste
gates could run off, which was caused
by the rapid flow of the water at the
head of the canal, and this morning the
gates into the main canal were opened
and the water allowed to run down the
main ditch. At noon it reached the
Hickman drop, about a mile from the
gates of the waste canal. A number OF
shad came down the canal with the wa
ter and some We're caught by hand
They must have got into the canal from
Dawson Lake.
