RETURN OF ADMIRAL DEWEY
DISIING UISHED HONORS LIKELY
FROM EUROPEAN NIVIES.
Extensive Squndrons In the Medlterra-
mean Sea Through Which the Flag
ship lympia Will Pass-AttentiOn of
French Officials Already Called to
the Matter.

Washington, May 14.-Admiral, Dew
ey's homecoming by way of the Medi-
terranean sea is likely to give rise to dis
tnguished honors from the navies of
Europe, most of them being represented
by extensive squadrons in those waters,
and some of them having their chief
naval stations at Mediterranean ports.
Already Ambassador Cambon of France
has called the attention of the authori-
ties at Paris to the return of Admiral
Dewey by way of the Mediterranean sea
and the probable sailing of his flagship
Olympia past the French naval ports in
Algiers. These are opposite the British
possessions of Gibraltar and Malta, at
the entrance to the Mediterranean and
are easy and natural stopping places
along that route 1t is hardly expected
that the admiral will touch Toulon. the
great naval depot of France. At the
ports of French Algiers he will be ac-
corded every honor due not only to his
high rank, but to the universal esteem
in which he is held by the naval frater
nifty.
The British authorities have taken no
steps thus far to have the admiral stop
at British ports, but it was stated to-
day by one of the British officials that
Dewey would be assured a most enthu-
siastic greeting If he stopped at any
British station and undoubtedly steps
would be taken to induce him to touch
at Plymouth and Portsmouth, the south
ern naval depots of England if there
was any prospect of his acceptance. In
any event, it is said, the admiral was
quite likely to stop at Malta and Gibral-
tar, as these are the usual coaling
places, and this would give an oppor-
tunity for an expression of British es-
TEEN for him. In the event that the
admiral could be induced to stop in
England en- route home It is said that
he would probably be met at Alden or
Port Said by British escort.

MANY VAR CLAIMS.
To be Pressed Against Government by
Foreign Residents tn Cuba.

! Washington, May 14.-The state de-
partment has been informally advised
that claims aggregating considerable
amount have been made by British,
! French and German residents in Cuba
during the recent insurrection, and that
these ultimately will be pressed against
the United States government. The
| claims themselves have not yet been
| presented but are being collected by the
several foreign offices as the claimants
send them in. In some cases schedules
have been made and the aggregate stat
ed to the authorities here. The French
! claims aggregate IL ,000,0 900 and $1,000, 900
francs. The German claims are under
| stood to be slightly under those Of the
French, while the British claims are
said to be considerably more than either
the French or German
These foreign claims are quite distinct
from those of citizens of the United
States originally against Spain for dam
ages sustained In Cuba during the insur-
rection. The peace treaty specifically
provided for these American claimants
releasing Spain and stating that the
United States would make such settle
ment as was proper Under this clause
claims aggregating several millions have
besn filed. No provision, however. was
made by the treaty for foreign claim
ants, and there appears to be much
doubt as to who is liable since the SOW
ereignty over Cuba has passed out of
the hands of Spain.
The United States having undertaken
to look after the American claimants
the foreigners are desirous of being
treated in the same manner. 1t was
stated at one of the foreign establish
ments that there was no disposition to
push the claims unduly but to bring
them to the attention of the United
States government in order that the
question of liability might be deter
mined, and such relief granted as the
merits of the cases warranted 1t is ap-
preciated in these foreign quarters that
payments will b. largely matter of dis
cretion with the United States, as the
obligation to look after the American
claimants was assumed voluntarily and
there is no obligation, either in the
treaty or on general principles of law
for assuming the claims growing out of
Spain'S inability to maintain order in
Cuba during the period of Spanish rule.
These foreign claims cover damages to
plantations, personal property, etc, of
French. British and German residents of
Cuba, and are not connected with the
bonded debt of Cuba in foreign hands,
which debt was assumed by Spain.

Dispatches Sent to MCKINLEY,

Hot Springs Va, May 14--Secretary
Alger forwarded to the president to-day
some dispatches from General Otis
They advised him that another peace
commission from Aguinaldi was on its
way to Manila to discuss terms of peace.
No instructions were sent from here to
General Otis, the policy being, as here
tofore, to leave matters entirely with
General Otis. The dispatches also told
of ill-usage suffered by Spaniards from
the insurgents at Zamboanga one of
the smaller islands in the Philippine
group. 1t may become necessary to
send light draught naval vessel there.

RUsSIA'S LAST DEMAND ON CHxNx


Latter Replies ThatIt Cannot Acccsacs-
The Chinese Greatly Agitated.
Shanghai, May 1.-THE Chinese for
eign office has replied to the Russian
minister at Pekin, M. deGiers, that the
government is unable to accede to the
Russian demand made last Wednesday
for new railway concession connect
ing Pekin with Russia's present system
in Manchuria. Not since the taking of
Port Arthur by Russia have the, Chi-E
nese been so agitated as over this de-
mand. Whether M deGiers named y
specific route is not yet ascertainable.I
some officials stating that only pre-
liminary notice was given by Russia,
and others that she is asking for line
direct from Pekin to Shanghai Cer-s
tainly the British legation in Pekin had
no previous knowledge that such a pro-
posal was coming from Russia. The
concession asked for would ruin the ex-
listing northern railways in which Brit
ish capital to the amount of $4,000, 900
is invested; but there seems to be no
alternative route, without interfering
with plans for railway extension which
the Chinese themselves have in mind. N
Berlin, May 15.-It is believed here
that Russia's latest claims in China will
reopen the entire question OF Russian
and British rights there.

CLETELAN ND'S DEATH RUMORED.
Said to Have Occurred on Island In Lake
E~te-Dcuied.

Toledo, O., May 14.-Telegraphic in
quiries have been pouring into Toledo
from all parts of the country asking
whether the rumor that ex-Pres.dent
Cleveland had died during the after
noon is correct. The Associated Press
has used every possible means to locate
the foundation for the story, end has
been unable to find any. Mr.. Cleveland,
according to the runor died suddenly
during thte afternoon at Middle Bass
Island in Lake Erie. From every point
near the island the runlor was uncon-
firmed, and every incoming boat from
Put-in-Bay was asked but there is no
confirmation. The cable office at Put
in-Bay closed on time, and nothing
could be obtained from that point, but
all messages from the island must go
to Sandusky, and nothing has been sent
up to this time announcing Mr.. Cleve-
lands death There is one boat yet to
arrive at Sandusky, but it will not be in
until 10 o'clock, and this is expected to
complete the denial of these rumors.
Sandusky, O., May 14.-The steamer
Arrow, which arrived here late tonight
made a stop at Middle Bass Island AT
10 p. m. Captain Brown commanding
the Arrow said:
There is nothing whatever in the re-
part that ex-President Cleveland Is
dead"
A number of people from Middle
Bass Island were on the Arrow. No
one knew anything that would indicate
the slightest foundation for the report
and that Mr.. Cleveland was in even
better than his usual good health
