Washington, April 27.-The war department did not receive any lnfof- mation from General Otis today re- specting the campaign about Calum- pit.

It is believed that General Lawton has fully succeeded in this and that when he has effected a junctuIe with Mac Arthur north of Calumpit it will ba possible to establish a comparatively short line of works across the coun- try and prevent the return of the in- suTgents from the north.

 their losses. Many of them have bor- rowed money in the east OF, their hold ings, and it $ but natural that they should wish to keep their losses to themselves. Their losses, however. have been light as compared With some seasons when 25 per cent and more of their bands were lost. The Montana sheopcncn, as a rule, have farad well during the winter Heavy losses reported in the Musselshell country prove to be unfounded, and most oG those losses that did occur could not be laid to severe weather, but to the eating of q poisonous weed known as ''Iripine," which has killed many sheep in Fergus, Cascade and Neagher counties this spring.

GLOUCESTER SANK THE FULTON
Spanish Torpedo Boat Found Riddled
 With Six-POunder Shells.

Santiago de Cuba, April 27.-The gunboat Yankton returned here yes terday after making an inspection of the wrecks of the Spanish toraDdo boats Terror and Pluton. She found the Pluton lying in eight fatRoms of water three miles west of the en- trance to Santiago harbor.
 The Piuton was lying on her port side. which was badly stove. Her starboald rail was intact. Contrary to the reports published last July that the Fulton was cut in two by a 13 inch shell, it was found by the Yank- ton that she had not been hit by a large shell, but had been riddled by six-pounders, which shows that her sinking was due to the work Of the converted yacht Gloucester. The Pluton's condition is such that she is worthless.

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
Unexpected Delay in the Negotiations
 for MOdU5 Vivendi.

Washington, April 27-An unex- pactcd delay has occurred in the nego- tiations toward an Alaskan boundary modus vive1di which makes the flu ture of the modus quite problemati- cal. Recent conferences on the sub ject have been far from encoura aging. The principal difficulty arises from dealing with Ottawa as well as Lon don, this dual negotiation causing great delay and complication. At the outset the United States proposed q modus, with temporary line along certain peaks. The B7Iti5h ambass2- dor forwarded this to London and Ot- tawa The Canadian officials have Drcpcsd1 changes in tho line, and after considerable delay the authori- ties in London approve the changes proposed by Canada. It is not stated what the respective lines are, but they are sufficiently apart to make 1t quite unlikely that any immediate agree ment can be reached. even of a tempo rary nature, as to the boundary.
