woRsTED IN A FIGHT.
Grandson of Grant Defeated In Hand-to-
Hand Encounter.

West Point, N. Y, April "a nerce
hattie occurred at Highland Falls at Il
late hour last night between candi-
dates for admission to West Point as
cadets on the one side and boys of the
village on the other. The candidates
are attending the preparatory schools
at Highland Falls prior to being eX-
amined at West Point next June for
admission to the academy. There were
about thirty of them in the fight, but
they were outnumbered three to one by
the boys of the town.
The trouble began with haud-to-
hand encounter, and the crowd soon
Increased to such an extent that stone
throwing took the place of fists. Sever
al of the candidates were more or less
injured, but the most seriously hurt
was Ulysses S. Grant Jr., appointed at
large by the president, who was as
sisted to his quarters t Cranston's
Hotel.
MANY of the town boys were also
badly used up. A young man named
Hogan of Westport was severely cut
i'm the head by a rock. The services OF
all the doctors in town were required

POSSIBILITIES continued for nearly an

SHOOTS HIMSELF.
John II. Sullivan of
Boston Found
Dead in Bed.
A WELL KNOWN MAN.
Former Member OF Legisla-
ture and Governors
Council.

Boston, April 9.-Hon. John H. Sulli-
van, member of the city's board Of APP
portionment, was found dead in his
bed at his home in East Boston this
morning. 1t was announced at first
that Mr.. Sullivan died of heart trou-
BILE, but it has since developed that he
killed himself by shooting through the
head.
Two causes are being assigned, one
that he was respondent from illness,
which did not seem to yield to medical
treatment, and the other that large fin
anciaI losses had discouraged him.
Mr.. Sullivan was best known in po-
litical life as having served in the
governors council in 1894 and being
defeated the next year by Isaac Allen
a colored republican He was born In
Ireland in 1S4S, and came to this city
in 1867.
His long political career took him
successfully through the city council
house of representatives, the senate
and finally the executive council. He
was always considered an important
factor in democratic politics in this city
and had some influence IN state poll
tics. At the beginning of the year nc
was given a place on the board of ap-
portionment

LAWToN's EXPEDITION.
Makeup of the Party Cruising Inland
Lakes on Gunboats.

Manila, April 8, $50 a. m.-The ex-
petition Of fifteen hundred men under
Maj Gen. Henry w. Lawton, which
started last night with intention Of
crossing Laguna de Bay capturing the
town Of Santa Cruz, on the eastern
shore of the lake and then sweeping the
country to the south, consists OF two
hundred picked sharpshooters, chosen
from the various regiments. HaW-
thornes mountain battery Gales
SQUADRON, three troops Of the Fourth
cavalry unmounted, with Bronke's and
Happens battalions of the Fourteenth
infantry. Linck's battalion Of the First
Idaho infantry and FRAMES battalion of
the First North Dakota infantry under
Gen. King.
The hotilla Of twenty canoes, toWed
by tugs and conveyed by the gunboats
I.aguna de Bay, Oeste and Napidan, and
preceded by the launch containing Gen.
Lawton and Gen. King, started from
San Pedro Macati, on the River Pasig,
moving toward the Lake just as even
ing was setting in. 1t was truly pic
turesque scene.
The men were all in high spirits and
carried rations for ten days, with the
lightest marching equipment. Gen.
LawtOn's plan was to reach Santa Cruz
this morning at daybreak, to capture or
destroy any rebel gunboats or shipping,
to take the town, and then to scour the
country to the south of the lake, a dis
trict not yet explored by the Americans.
The tactics will be those of the old
time frontier fighting and it is probable
that the command viii be divided into
squads OF twelve under non-commis-
stoned officers.
In Gen. LawtOn's absence, the second
division is temporarily commanded by
Gen. Ovenshine, whose lines extend
from the beach. near Malate. south Of
Manila, to the shore Of Laguna. de Bay,
beyond Pasig, a distance of about seven
miles. The withdrawal Of the IS COM
panies constituting the expeditiOnary
force made a gap in the line from the
beach to Culiculi, just southwest of San
Pedro Macati, which was subsequently
filled by the Fourth regular infantry.
The rebels. on the extreme right, had
evidently been informed Of the with
drawal Of the troops and attempted 10
sneak through after nightfall, but they
met with a warm reception and fell
back in disorder on discovering that the
line was still intact.
The war department authorities look
for important news from Manila to-
morrow. announcing in all probability
the capture of the city Of Santa Cruz.
a leading town in a country as yet
untouched by the Americans and now
in the hands Of the Filipino forces. No
report Of the movements OF Gen. Law
toms men has been made 70 the war

GERMANS RESENT 1T.
Do Not Like Admiral Kautz' Treatment
of the Fake.

London, April 10.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Standard says:
"After receiving Mr.. White, the
limited States ambassador, and Sir
Frank Lascelles (the British ambas-
sador) last week. and explaining to
them Germany's attitude regarding Sa-
moa. Emperor William sent instructions
to the German ambassadors in Lon
don and Washington to the general eff
feet that Germany considers the new
government of Samoa illegal and the
action of the British and Americans
a clear violation of the Samoan treaty.
1.-The reports of the behavior of Ad-
Y,iral Kautz toward the German
cruiser Fake has given umbrage
throughout the empire; and it is con-
eidered certain that if the report is
confirmed. the United States will readi-
w admit Germany's right to satisfac-
tjon and will repair Admiral Kautz
errors 1t is hoped, however that the
accounts are exaggerated

a SINGLE WORCESTER BOY.
Private M. r. Cook of the Eighth Mas
sachusetts Is at Home.

Private Munroe F. Cook, Co. c,
Eighth Massachusetts regiment, arrived
in Worcester last night on the 1920
O'Clock train from Boston. The Eighth
arrived in Boston Sunday morning and
paraded through the streets in the BUSH
ness section of the city. Thousands
greeted the Drowned heroes. The Eighth
has been stationed at Matanzas, Cuba,
and has made a record for its fine APP
pearance at dress parade and during
regilnental drills.
PrIva,e Cook was met oy his mctaer
in boston. and she told Spy TepOI Ter
last night that his appearance was d
source of great surprise to her as she
believed he would be thin ami pale
from the effects Of the Cuban climate.
Speaking of his experiences, Private
Cook said: II enlisted at Camp Dewey,
birmingham, in the Eighth. because L
thought that such a fine appearing regi
ment would certainly be ordered 10 the
front l was assigned to duty IN Co. c,
Marblehead. The fact that camp duty
at Chickamagua, Thomasville, and pa
troll service at MatanZas comprised my
war record makes me feel that only
those who went to the front should be
honored.
1.-The Eighth was praised everywhere
in the south and in Cuba. have gained
nearly Is pounds since I have been in
Cuba, and 1 must say that the climate
on the island is grand. OF course there
are times when one feels languid, but
taken altogether, the country is a fine
one to live in"
Private Cook went to his home, 70
Thomas street, in company with his
mother. Private Cook said that so far
as he knew he was the only Worcester
man in the regiment. William Wheeler,
a former Worcester boy, enlisted in Co.
D, of Lynn, but died in camp at Chick
amagua

a few months before was still doing
business, came Sunday, Jan. Is, little
more than three months later, when
the house of Rev. Alexander Lewis
was looted in extctly the same man
ner. The hour and attending condi-
lions were the same. Silver was left
undisturbed on the side board, but
watches and small articles of jeWelry,
together with over $50 in cash, were
taken. making the total in the neigh
borhood of 5000. In this case occupants
of the house were unable to gain en-
trance by the front door and We're OBJ
liged to go around to the rear before
they could get into the house.
Last nights affair was a repetition OF
previous performances. Whether there
will be others to follow remains to be
worked out in the course of events.
The space of time existing between
the second and third breaks was de-
creased by a month from the time be-
tween the first two, and in event OF
more to come the time limit may be
cut down still more, which will do
away with suspense of waiting.
The manner in which the burglaries
are carried out gives reason for a
theory that the plan employed by the
operators is to select a house which
has the appearance of promising

for weeks, if necessary, until their ha-
bits become thoroughly known. A
general idea Of the interior arrange
ment of a house might also be gained,
and, when the opportunity presents it
self, there is comparatively plain sail
ing. ..-.s
What disposition is made of the stuff
is a mystery. The men who are doing
the work are too shrewd to work the
goods off through the ordinary chan
nels and evidently have some system
attic arrangement whereby jewelry and
other articles are turned into their equi-
valent in the coin of the realm.

New York, April 9.--Admiral Dewey
has as good as said that he is a repub-
lican. In an interview granted to a
representative of Frank Leslie's Mag
azine. he asks to what other party than
the republican can native Of Yer
mont belong, and adds that had he
been born in Georgia, he would have
been a democrat. in all probability.
1t is true that he has voted the dem
ocratic ticket once or twice, but he
hints that was because he liked the
candidates on that ticket personally
The interview shows conclusively that
the admiral considers himself repub-
Iican. Incidentally. he again declines
to consider the proposition that he
head a national ticket, but that is OF
less Importance, as he has said the
same thing before.
AS to his politics, the admiral said:
'I am a sailor A sailor has no pol
itics. The administration is his part,
and republican or democratic, 1t makes
no difference.
"Then again. / come from Vermont,
and YOU know what that means. To
be anything but republican in YER
mont. is to be a man without a party.
My flag lieutenant comes from Georgia.
He tells me that to be anything but a
democrat in the south, is to be a no
body. If l lived south, l would prob
ably be a democrat"
"Have you ever voted?" the corre-
spondent asked.
Eyes, years ago; but my vote was US
ually influenced by personal preference
or local conditions. / am not poll
tician have never held political office,
and am totally ignorant Of party intri-
cacies and affiliations"
The admiral said that neither by vo-
cation, disposition, education nor train
ing. was he capacitated to fill the presi-
dency He said that he was too well
along in life to consider such POSSIBLE
ity. His health would not admit it,.
All his life's work was in different lines
of effort and that, while the Kindness
and enthusiasm of his friends were
grateful to him, and the generous trib-
utes Of the American people were dear
to him. he could not and would not be
a candidate for the presidency of the
Tinted States under any conditions.

FRENCH POLITICS.
Premier Dupuy Says End of Dreyfus At
fair is in Sight.

Paris, April 9.-The premier, M. Chas'
Alexandra Dupuy, in the course of an
important speech to his constituents
today, at lie Puy, capital of the depart
ment of HauteLoire, said the Sit
uation both at home and abroad was
eminently satisfactory.
1.-THE spontaneous election of stall
wart republican as president of the re-
public" he continued, proves the sta
bility and vitality of the republic and
has disconnected the factions who
dreamed of chimerical plebiscites and
futile restorations."
He referred approvingly to the recent
agreements with Italy and Great Brit
ain, and said that France was now
free for industrial and commercial de-
yelopment and a large field of coloniZ-
ing.'' Reverting to home affairs, he
said: "The agitations are only on the
surface. Beneath are calm industry
and security. The end of the Dreyfus
affair appears to be in sight, and the
complication will be unravelled by the
court of cessation. whose judgment will
be acknowledged by all.
'"The government, however, attaches
importance TO relIerdllnS It's ueteIul
nation to repress all polemics which
call the national army in question. AS
soon as the court of cessation has
given judgment, the government will
take the necessary measures to deter
mine responsibilities and will act ac-
cordingly if that should be necessary,
but these acts and the punishment of
individual faults will not affect the
army, which is our hope for the future
and the indispensable guardian of the
constitution and the law.
IF certain people think otherwise,
let US leave them to their despicable
folly, and for ourselves continue to look
toward the army full of gratitude and
confidence"

A LANDSLIDE.
Car on Grafton Line Headed OFF by a
Miniature avalanche.

Traffic on the Grafton electric line
was delayed for an hour or two yester-
day afternoon. A miniature landslide a
short distance beyond Grafton square
deposited as much earth as could be
contained in a good sized cart in the
Dath of the car due in Worcester at 3
o'clock. The car was well filled with
passengers. and after surveying the
situation, most Of them walked to Graf
ton square. where they took the Graf
ton street car for their several destina-
tions. The landslide is similar 10 the
one that took place some weeks ago,
and very near the same location.
