CHALLENGE is in SIGHT
HARMSWORTH, OF THE DAILY MAIL.
WILL TRY FOR THE CUP.
His Offer Expected by Cable Within n
Few Days-CoIumbiai May Defend
the Trophy Another Year.

NEW YORK, Nov. "a cable message
was received in this city to-day saying that
Alfred Harmsworth, editor and proprietor
of the London Daily Mail, intended TO have
challenger prepared to race here for the
Americas cup next summer. Mr.. Harms
worth has written a letter to Sir Thomas
Upton to say that he would like to have
a chance at the great yachting prize, and
asking about Sir Thomass intentions. In
the letter he said that unless the owner
of the Shamrock intended to try again in
1900 he (Mr. Harmsworth) would like to
put in one. w. z. Carson, the New York
agent of the Harmsworth publications. said
to-day that he had not heard anything
definite from Mr.. Harmsworth about the
intended challenge. He said he supposed
Mr.. Harmsworth would do nothing further
until he received reply from the last chal-
lenger.
Another person said: This news shows
that Sir Thomas would not be prepared for
a race next season, owing to the fact that
he has offered his steam yacht Erin to the
British government to be used as hospital
vessel in the Transvaal war. He proposes
to fit out the vessel for these uses. and she
consequently would not be ready for attend
ance in America unless the Boer war be
terminated soon. 1t is now getting late in
the year to think of putting in ten months
challenge, but if the matter could be ar
ranged by cable by Nov. 10 the races could
begin Sept. Is, though it is probable that
an earlier date than this could be settled
on by mutual agreement, in order to avoid
the fogs and Gains of October"
A member of the New York Yacht Club
said he believed the Harmsworth challenge
would come by cable in few days, and
that if anything happened to Harmsw orth's
challenge there were others in the back
ground waiting for the situation to de-
velop. 81 think" he said, that the New
York Yacht Club is going to be kept busy
for a number of consecutive years and that
there will be no blank in 1900. But 1 don't
think this necessarily entails the building
of new defenders each year, nor for next
year. The Columbia Is a well-tried ma
chine that works to perfection, and re-
gard her as in advance of the year. Fife
is knocked out by illness, and don't believe
there is another designer in England that
can make the present Columbia hustle to
come in first. If Mr.. Harmsworth chal-
lenges, and 1 thoroughly believe he will, 1
don't believe that anything better than the
Columbia need be sought on this side"

GEN. LUDINGTCN's WORK.
Operations of the transportation De-
partment of the Army.

partment of the Army.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The report Of
Quartermaster General Ludngton shows an
immense amount of work accomplished by
this department in connection with the mill
tary operations of the past year. This in
cluded organization of a transport fleet, the
moving of two armies to the Philippines in
addition to the troops transported to Cuba
and Porto Rico, the repatriation of over
5000 Spanish soldiers from the various
islands captured the care and transporta-
ton of immense quantities of animals and
supplies necessary for the support of our
own soldiers. and the return to the United
States of over 100 soldiers and civilians
who died in the government service in Cuba,
Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines
General Ludington gives a list of thirty
seven vessels now included in the transport
fleet. During the fiscal year these vessels
have carried 2o2,5S persons between Cuba,
Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Philippines and the
plished without the loss Of a single life
through accident. There have been carried
q 1853 animals and $3.50. tons of freight
The work of sanitation and reconstruc-
ton accomplished in Cuba and Porto Rico
has been immense. 1t has included the con-
struction of water works, the rebuilding
and purifying of barracks and the building
of wharves and cleaning of whole towns
and cities.
In the Philippines two distinct armies
have been landed and one returned to the
United States The handling of this great
force has been accomplished with small de-
lay, in the face of great natural obstacles,
lack of wharves and landing facilities, and
in the presence, in many instances, of hos
tile natives and armed Spaniards. Since
the occuDation of LuZon and the adjacent
islands the same work of building and SAM
tation has been prosecuted as in Cuba and
in Porto Rico
In addition to distilling plants for water
and mechanical devices for ccaling ships
the department has begun the installation
of a refrigerating plant at Manila, with
capacity of forty tons of ice day and con-
tanning 1850 tons of perishable provisions.
Material has been forwarded from the
United States for bridge over the Pasig
river and the railroad mas been repaired
and operated over such parts of the line as
are in the hands of the American forces.
A total of 1,214 bodies of Soldiers and
others dying abroad have been returned to
the United States from Cuba. Porto Rico,
the Philippines and Hawaii Many of them
were returned to their friends at the ex-
pense Of the government and the remainder

identified and many pieces OF property be-
longing to the deceased have been recov-
