STATEMENT.
Denies That He Ever Discussed the
Auditors Appropriation With
the Executive.

In making his suggestions for the re-
Gently framed tax levy Mayor Phelan
took occasion to say that Auditor Wells
appropriation might be cut down $1,000
without in any way inconveniencing that
official In the performance of his duty.
He said he knew this could be done, as
ex-Auditor Broderick had told him so. 1t
was a strong argument TO use asaIhs'
Auditor Wells, and the Mayor made 1t
one of his great points. Some one called
Mr.. Broderick's attention to the matter a
day or so ago, and now he has come
down on the Mayor, and in a letter to Mr.
Wells gives Mr.. Phelan the lie direct. Inc
letter which Mr.. Wells received yeSter-
day was as follows:

ADMIRAL DEWEY WILL
NOT VISIT ENGLAND
Sends His Regrets, but Says he Must
Be in New York in
Octoher

LONDON, Aug. 1.-Admiral Dewey,
in response to an inquiry made by the
Daily Mail, sends the following:
Il regret that I cannot visit England
Must arrive in New York by October
l."
The Rome correspondent of the Daily
Mail says: The warm reception given
Admiral Dewey in Italy is regarded
with mixed feelings by the Govern
ment, which is morbidly anxious not to
offend Spain. AS it is, the Spanish EN-
bassador. Signor Cipriano del Maso,
protested against the toasts proposed
by General Bogliolo, Admiral Gonzales
and the Prefect of Naples at the re-
cent reception of the American admiral,
in which the American victories over
Spain were glorified. In consequence of
the protest, the Government requested
Bogliolo, Gonzales and the Prefect to
furnish explanations, which the EN-
bassador accepted as satisfactory, but
the incident produced a bad impression
and Admiral Dewey abandoned his in
tention to come to Rome.

POLICE ON THE RACK.
Mazet Committee Continues to Work
It's Searchlight.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-More than 100
patrolmen in uniform filled the seats re-
served for witnesses when the session of
the Mazet executive investigation COM
mittee met to-day. They came from all
parts of the city, from Coney Island to
the Bronx.
Mr. Moss said that the only book fur
nished him by Captain McCluskey's de-
tective bureau was one showing robberies
with a record of property recovered. The
property appearing therein does not ap-
pear on the Chiefs book. Mr. Moss read
from the book the value of the property
recovered. 1t showed that property from
all over the United States was brought
to New York and disposed of in pawn
shops and other places. 1T appears from
this" said Mr.. Moss, that thieves who
live here go into the outlying districts to
commit robberies and then bring their
plunder to this city and get rid of it
Yesterday" said Mr. Moss, 1--WE put in
evidence the record of the complaints of
100 citizens robbed in two precincts by
women. Now, / offer a transcript from
the record showing 100 other such rob-
berries reported to the police in four pre-
cincts."
John r. Wood, one of the committees 8
detectives, testified concerning the opium
joints in New York City. He also detailed
many interesting facts concerning the

the feature during the latter half of the

Contend for Author
itV

WASHINGTON. D. c., Aug. 10.-Secre-
tarv Root has inherited the old contro-
Nersy as TO the power of the major gem
eraI in command of the army, and, owing
TO the strained relations between Secre-
tary Alger and General Miles, the new

ton in the very beginning of his admin
istration.

this morning loaded with authorities rela-
tive to the recognition Of the commanding
general in the management and discipline
Of the army and sought to convince Sec
retary Root that his predecessor. Secre-
tary Alger, had issued an order that
should not be promulgated regarding the
inspector generals department. This order
prepared by Secretary Alger the day be-
fore ne left the office, recognized the In
spectOr generals department as just what
the statute makes it-a bureau of the
War Department and the inspector gen.
eral a member of the staff, who shall re-
port directly TO the Secretary of War.
General Miles contended that the in
spection of the army had always been
subject to the orders of the major general
in command, and he cited authorities
bearing him out IN that contention.

gument and then sent for Assistant Sec
