A DENIAL ron ms BROTHER.
August Belmont Denies Pcrry's Al
legged Interview.

New York, Sept 1s.-The following let
ter has been received by the Associated
Press:
To the Associated Press: Upon my re-
turn TO New York following an absence of
a fortnight, my attention was called to
the publication of an alleged interview of
my brother. Perry Belmont purporting
10 have been given by him to a reporter
on Sept. in London, on the eve of a pro-
fessed departure for the United States,
and in which he was quoted as saying
that the country is sick of the jel.yfsh
Imperialism of President Mckinley" and
that with William J. Bryan's middle-of-
the-road policy, 1t is difficult to prophecy
anything but majority for Mr.. Bryan
al the next election"
The extravagant expressions used were
so contrary to his customary conserva-
tism, and so at variance with his inde-
pendence and the consistency of his po-
litical views, that l cabled to him asking
whether the interview was genuine. His
reply confirms your positive denial by
cable this morning. He authorizes me in
this cable to say that ne has not seen any
reporters since his departure from Amer
Ica, and he declares that he has nothing
TO add to or change in the views ex-
pressed on the eve of his sailing for Eu-
rope, June II, which were then used by
the Associated Press, and in which In
terview he affirmed:
IF such a severe test should be made
as a choice between the constitution and
the Philippines, Democrats would, in my
opinion. let the Philippines go But no
such test is likely or necessary. If Con-
gress is not to assemble before the usual
time, there viii not be natural politics
during the next six months for those out
side the administration circles. The man
agement of our new islands, including
taxation and expenditure, is now treated
at Washington as purely an executive af-
fair. The President should sufficiently
punish Agulnaldo and his followers for
their assault early last February on our
army at Manila. When that has been ac-
complished and Congress has assembled.
there Will be no real problem growing out
Of expansion that will press for solution. -
So much has been published and said in
our name of late, wholly foreign TO our
own political creed and that of our fa-
ther, whose opinions in his day Democrats
respected and refer to to-day In unmis-
taxable terms OF approval, and which we
profess TO hold and alone to- represent, that
l take this occasion 10 repudiate for us
both, once and for all, any affiliation with
the demagogy and Populism which are now
trying to rule and did rule our party in
1896. (Signed) August Belmont

CHASING BRITISH boats.
Ahey Were Suspected of FiIibuster-
ing in Philippines.

Hong Kong, Sept 1s-The American
gunboat Pampango chased the British
steamer Yuen-sang from Manila to Hong
Kong. The gunboat sighted the steamer
during the night of Sept. 1S, about thirty
miles off the north coast of the island of
Luzon, and suspected that she was a fill
buster
The Pampango fired three shots which
The Yuen-Sang disregarded, until the third
shel exploded near her. She then stop
ped, and the commander of the gunboat
boarded the Yuen-Sang, found he had
MADE a mistake, and apologized.
An American gunboat, name unknown,
followed the British steamer Diamte, bound
from Manila to Hong Kong. The warship
sighted the steamer near Subig bay dur
ing the night of Sept. 16 and whistled sig
hals TO stop. The signals were disregard
ca ana the gunboat ran alongside the
Dlamte, getting 50 close that her guns
tore away the Diamte's outrigging. Her
passengers were thrown into a panic. The
gunboal, on learning the identity of the
steamer, sheered off

Effort 10 BE Made 10 Get statistics of
Southern Crops.


Southern Crops.
Washington. Sept 1S-Special effort is
being planned by Statistician Powers to
secure full statistics of agriculture in the
South. The law requires the crops and
products only of 1899 to be taken. but they
cannot be so taken until June l. 1900.
As many CT the great crops Of the Gulf
and South Atlantic states were marketed
in February, March and April of 1899, the
growers will be called upon to furnish sta
tistics thereof which will be over one year
old when the enumerator arrives. The
census officials are using several channels
10 urge the necessity of producers being
prepared to meet this difficulty, because,
in the absence of such preparation a corr
rect and full exhibit Of Southern products
will be impossible.
Director Merriam, while determined to
give 10 the Southern states everything that
belongs to them at any cost, suggests that
such a determination can be successfully
carried out only In case the people heartily
and universally cooperate with the cen-
sus officials to that end

Al the navy department II was stated
that no order had yet been issued to Ad-
miral Schley to command the South At

10 hold himself in readiness 10 perform
that duty. It was expected, 1t was said,

he would be forced 20 accept

ment that II Admiral Schley would not
accept the assignment, there WIS nothing
left to give him, as there were no ships
available to form a European squadron
and no shore command fitting for his

KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT 1T.
Havana Does Not Seem to BE in the
Cigar Combination.


Cigar Combination.
Havana, Sept. 1S-One of the principal
cigar merchants in Cuba, when interview
ed to-day regarding the reported conso.;-
dation of tobacco interests, said that he
knew nothing of any plan to consolidate
the manufacturing cigar houses of New
York, Chicago, Tampa and Key West, nor
of any Tampa cigar syndicate
1.-The effect Of moving factories from Ha-
vana to Tampa" he said. 'if done with
the idea of importing the Cuban leaf ana
making Havana cigars in Tampa, would
not be such as to commend ii to fnanciers
Even is the cigars should be really
as good as those now made in Havana,
the product would not obtain the conf
dence of foreign markets, where it would
certainly be said that the cigars contained
a mixture of American tobacco If the
cigars were sent back TO Havana and
then reshipped as Havana cigars, all the
profits, as well as all the confidence, would
be destroyed
The municipality Of sagua has decided
to assemble all the owners of tobacco fac
tories in the district in order to ascertain
whether any of them use foreign tobacco,
and, if that should prove to be the case,
TO discuss means of prevention.
In the Cienfuegos district the sugar
planters are discharging many hands, ow-
ing to the smallness of the crop.

ALL QUALITIES COMBINED.
Fighting Vessels That VIII Have
speed and Thick ArmOr.

Washington. Sept 1S.-The naval engl-
neers have projected plans for the new
battleships, which, II adopted, will pro-
vide an entirely novel type for the navy.
The purpose is to have three ships com
bine in themselves the good qualities Of
batteshps and armored cruisers. The aim
will be to have the highest possible speed
for such ships, in this case twenty knots
per hour This will be attained by the
use of triple screws, two small side screws
for use in ordinary cruising and a big
central screw to add to the propulsive
force In case high speed Is needed. The
ships would be OF 1900 or 1900 tons dis
placement and With seven inches OF the
latest ormor would be almost as strong
in defense as a regular hattleship.
The coal capacity would be about 1000
TONS sufficient at ordinary cruising speed
to carry the ship 1000 to 1900 miles.

RYAN KNOCKED OUT CRAIG.
CoIored Man was Drne for When the
Tenth Round Came on.


New York, Sept. 1s.-Tommy Ryan, the
Syracuse mddleweight pugillst, gave
Frank Craig. the Harlem Coffee Cooler"
a terrible drubbing before 1000 persons at
the Coney Island Sporting Club tonight
Craig only recently returned from Eng
land, where he has been making quite
reputation and plenty OF money for the
past three years.
That Ryan would defeat him was gener-
ally believed. but from the glowing ac-
counts Of Craig's doings among the Brit
ons, every one looked for a much better
fight than that which the colored man put
up lie knocked Ryan down in the Sec
ond round but never alterward did ne
hold the upper hand.
His actions ia the ninth round were dis
appointing, as he went down FIVE times
to avoid punishment His face was bat
tered out OF all shape when he came up
for the tenth round and IL Referee Sier
he'd not interfered and stopped the bout.
Ryan would certainly have finished his
job and put an end to Crag's fighting ca
reer before the close OF the round.
