DEWEY FOR PRESIDENT
HORACE WHITE BOOMING THE AD-
MIRAL AND JOE WHEELER.
Thinks the Former Would Not Refuse
q Observation-Disclosures says the
Hero Is a Republican,.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Sept. 2s.-Editor
Horace White, of the New York Evening
Post, who is visiting friends in this city, Is
of the opinion that Admiral Dewey would
not decline the nomination for President If
it were rendered him. In an interview to-
day he said:
Il hav noticed in all the interviews
Dewey has given on this subject that,
while he says he is a sailor and not in poll
tics, and would not seek the nomination.
he at the same time has not said that he
would not accept it. He will certainly not
seek the nomination and not enter partisan
politics, but l am firmly of the opinion that
he would accept the nomination If rendered
him. He for President and Joe Wheeler for
Vice President is a ticket that would sweep
the country. Indeed, Dewey would be elect
ed. no matter by what party he was NOM
mated"
Editor White speaks very enthusiastically
of the possibility of a Dewey and Wheeler
ticket. and does not seem to think it at all
improbable.

that the steamer Montford has go passen-
gers of the steamer Scotsman. which is
ashore in the straits of Belle Isle, and the
agents think this number will include all
the passengers. A special train will be
sent to Ramouski to take them off. This
will be a sort of a relief train, for it is un-
derstood hat there is not sufficient food on
board the Montford to satisfy the rescued
people. 1t seems that the accident to the
Scotsman was due to an error on the part
Of the officers, who made q mistake about
the new light In the straits of Belle Isle.
1t is expected that the vessel will be a
total wreck. The Scotsman sailed from
Liverpool for this port on Sept. IL.

ton issued the following statement last
evening: We learn that the centers of in
terest in the Transvaal crisis are, in reality,
at Lisbon and Berlin. and this consideration
IT Is thought I'm some quarters, may cause
a further adjournment Of the Cabinet. The
future administration and financial control
OF the Portuguese possessions in South
Africa are held to be an integral factor in
the present difficulty. The friends of Presi-
dent Kruger urge that it would be mani
testify unfair to insist upon a partial reduc-
ton Of the forts at Pretoria and Johannes
burg so long as Lorenzo Marquee remains
under the Portuguese government. and it is
probable hat the negotiations between
London, Berlin and Lisbon may not be con-
cluded until after the Cabinet council"

Telegraph says: "The Transvaal executive
are absorbed in war preparations. Many
Beers oppose aggressive action on religious
grounds. There nave been local hunder-
storms and rains at Johannesburg and in
various parts of the Orange Free State"

Charlestown says: Communicating is pro-

probably throughout the Transvaal. Two
thousand burghers are assembled at WAX

Natal border and eleven from Laing's Mex.
