A DENIAL BY GENERAL OTIS.
He Says That Reasonable Prices
Were Paid for Gunboats.

CHICAGO. April 6-Speaking of the
story published this morning to the effect
that he had, while commanding the
American forces IN the Philippines, pur-
chased thirteen small gunboats at exorbi-
tant prices, General Otis. when seen at
army headquarters today. said:
i bought thirteen gunboats and three
more at Manila, also as many launches
as could be prepared at Hongkong and
Singapore, and am wholly responsible for
the purchase. Two other companies were
after the guaboats and their bids were
found to be very close.
The charge that I paid 100000 more
for the boats than the price asked for
them by the Spanish Government Is IN
true 1 do not know the man who made
the charge OF any Of the other men who
have been making charges against me.
We We're determined that the boats
should not leave the waters and our bid
was a bluff to scare of the other people
who We're after them, and, as 1 said, our
bids were very close to those OF the par
ties in question.

price asked by the Spanish Government
We bought them at figure considerably

TIE BRIDGE COMMISSION.
a Short Meeting Today, But No &C
tien Taken.


The Bridge Commission held a short
session this morning and adjourned to
meet at the call Of the chairman, Colonel
Allen At the conclusion of the meeting
Colonel Allen said that the commission
had not received all the information it de-
sireS before making its report and that
another session would be held as soon as
necessary No business was transacted
today.
The members of the commission are anX-
ious to hear the views of the citizens and
business men of Georgetown as TO the
effect the building of the new bridge Will
have on the interests Of that section of
the city
It is not generally known that the har-
Dor facilities above Twenty-siXth Street
are much better than along the water
front in the southwest section. where
most of the steamboat wharves are 10
Gated.
1t is said that the Washington harbor
cannot be made as deep or the channel
as wide as the Georgetown harbOr- An
other advantage enjoyed by Georgetown
lies in the fact that the property along
the water front is owned by private citi-
zens. whereas from the 4 senai almost to
wenty-sfxth Street the river frontage is
persons occupying it for private purposes
only do so by suferance- If the Potomac
Flats Park scheme is carried out it is be-
lieyed that the only harbor open to vessels
viii be the Georgetown, as the present
wharves in the southwest section Of the
city viii become a portion Of the park
This, the Commission understands, IS
the argument to be brought TO bear from
the Georgetown business men in support
of their contention that the new bridge
should be high enough above water to ad-
nit the passage Of the tallest tug now in
service
Resolutions are being drawn by a com
mittee from the Georgetown Citizens AS
ISOLATION to be presented to the Commits
sion. in order that a record of the views
Of this association may be filed with the
official report in the office of the Score
tary of War.

night at the Franciscan Monastery. It

GHoULS AT CANTON
An Attack on a Soldier Guarding the
 the Presidents Vault.

Canton O.. Sept. 29.-A strange story comes from West Lawn cemetery to- night. where company of regulars from Fcrt Wayns are guarding the vault in which the body of the late president lies. It is to the effect 1hat a guard on duty on top of the vault fired a shot at one man who refuse1 to heed the challenge; that the shot was diverted by another man. who ap- peared from another direction, and that an effort was made to stab the guard.
 The military regulations prevent either officers or men on post being quoted in any matter connected with the service. For this reason Captain Riddle, who is in command. was obliged to decline to be quoted at the camp tonight. He will make a full re- port to his superfcrs at once. Reliable authorities made the follow ing statement: Private Deprend was on guard duty on top of the vault at d point commanding the entrance be- low A man approached from the lear.
 Shortly before 7:3O he saw what he toc7S to be the face of a man peering
 
 post. He watched it twenty minutes he says. At 1:45 he saw the man hurry to tree ten feet nearer He challenged the man to halt, but was | not needed, and the fellow approached nearer. The guard leveled his gun i and aimed to shoot with effect. 1 Just at that instant another man | who came towards him from the oppo- site side, caught the gun threw it up and the bullet was spent in the air | The same man struck Cepreni on the | right side of the abdomen with q knife or some other sharp weapon. cut ting gash in his overcoat an inch and half long each way and a smaller one in the blouse. The flesh was not broken but was bruised under the | cuts. Deprend in the struggle fell and rolled down the eide Of the vault. Lieutenant Ashbridge. the officer of the day, was in front of the vault and | rushed to the top on hearing the shot | but the men made good their escape ! All the members of the company hear | ing the shot. hurried to the vault, be- sides searching the cemetery, and the guard was increased.

Wichita. Kan. Sept 29.-The Kiowa Indians are holding an extra war dance in honor of President Roosevelt. It seems that the news of his ascendancy has just reached them in their country near Lawton. The Kiowas are headel by Lone Wolf, the deposed chief. He Is a. medicine man of some note and 1t was he who ordered the dance.
 Tom Isabel. the Cherokee Indian. who was a member of Fsoosevelt's Rough Riders during the Spanish war. inform ed the kiowas that t-would- be bcfs- ting in them to honor the president by giving war dance. There is nothing dangerous about the dance and no white settlers are in danger. It is mostly peaceful, withal an enthusiasts demonstration of the braves and squaws. Lone Wolf is personally ac- quainted with President Roosevelt
 Several of the Cheyennes will soon journey eastward to see the Great Father The reds have great faith i1 the new president.
