Victims.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, July 23.-An ex-
plosion today of petroleum on board the
American schooner Louise Adelaide, Capt.
Orr, which left Philadelphia April "a and
Portland, Me-, June for Stockholm, in
the harbor here, resulted In the death of
Capt. Orr, ten members of the Schooner 8

The explosion set the schooner af1re and
the blazing petroleum enveloped the ves-
sci and those on board.

1,6OO barrels of crude petroleum and go

DRY THUNDER STORMS.
Some Western Sections Had Vexa-
tious ExPerience Yesterday.

One hundred degrees temperatures were
common throughout the great corn belt
yesterday according to the reports to the
weather bureau here In various places In
Illinois, Iowa and other states all previous
heat records were smashed. There appears
to be no prospect of decided relief from
these exhausting conditions for the next
two days at least, except such as may
come from the always-present possibility
Of scattered thunder storms, which are
predicted for some portions of the super
heated area. Dry thunder storms unac-
companied by rain prevailed in several sec
tions of the west hundreds of miles apart
They temporarily cooled the atmosphere,
but brought no relief to the furnishing
crops. Absolutely no rain fell in the corn
belt according to the official reports re-
general throughout the entire country, ex-
cept on the Pacific coast.
In the east the temperature, while high.
did not approach anywhere the extremes
prevailing in the west, and a recurrence Of
the hot wave of two weeks ago Is believed
to be unlikely in the Atlantic coast region.
In Des Moines, Ia, the temperature OFF,
cially reported yesterday was los, in
Springfield, H., los in Cincinnati 108 and
in Louisville JOG. in each case breaking all
past records. In indianapolis IL also was
106, or five degrees higher than ever before
reported. In st. Louis IL was 106 Omaha
104, Bismarck. n. d., 1o4 and Concordia,
Kan, 102. In the east Boston reported
tempera ture of 04 degrees, New York 30,
Philadelphia SS and Washington %.

DECISION FOR DISTRICT.
Com mfssfOners Empowered to Regu-
late Buflding PrOiecfions


Justice Bradley in the Supreme Court of
the District this afternoon rendered a de-
cision in favor of the defendants in the
case of Burton Macafee against the District
Commissioners and the inspector of build
ings for the District. The case was one
involving to some extent the right Of the
commissioners to determine Just what
constitutes projection upon a building
situated and an infringement upon the
prescribed building lines established out
side the city limits.
On June % last Mr. Macafee made annli-
cation for projections beyond the building
line for an apartment house intended to be
erected at 18th and Rosedale streets north
! east The apartment house was intended
10 nave a frontage of fifty-one feet six
Inches on 10th street and eighty feet on
Rosedale street Mr.. Macafee held that
he was building within the limits of the
building regulations. and his application
was approved by the inspector of build
ings and the officers subordinate to the En-
glneer Commissioner of the District When
II reached Commissioner Beach, however,
a permit was refused on the ground that
the streets at the point indicated were too
narrow and because the plans called for
projections beyond the building line A
writ of mandamus was sought, having in
view the granting of this permit and the
case was argued before Judge Bradley to-
day by Attorneys Wilson and Barksdale
for Mr.. Macafee and Attorney A. B. Duvall
Tor the Commissioners. In ruling Judge
bradley stated that there could be no
doubt that the ruling of the Commission
ers In the matter was somewhat arbitrary
In character, but that there was a dis
cretlon within the authority of the Com
mlssloners regarding the granting of such
permits which led0the court to decide that
the writ of mandamus should not issue 1t
was further intimated that il was doubtful
II the Commissioners had any authority to
grant permit for such projections or to
prevent their erection outside the limits of
lhe city. The demurrer of the Commission
ers to the issuance of the writ was sus-
tanned. An appeal in the case was noted

THE CUP DEFENDER.
In the Second Day of the New York
Yacht Clubs Cruise.

the second Day Oh tne new 1Ork
Yacht Clubs Cruise.
NEW YORK, July 23.-Clear and cool air,
' /. good breeze from the northeast,
We're the weather conditions prevailing this
morning at Huntington harbor, Long ISL
and, where the New York Yacht Club be-
gan the second days run of its annual
cruise, with race to Morris Cove, Conn.
The distance was about twenty-eight miles.
1t was the first of the squadron runs for
prizes offered by the club. All the yachts
left the harbor early for the starting point
on Easton's Neck. among them being the
Constitution and Columbia.
A strong ebb tide and head winds made
the yachts late in reaching the starting
point. The small sloops were the first to
get out or the harbor, and when they were
ready for the start the Constitution was
about two miles west of the line. At the
same time the old Vigilant was about a
mile to the north.
The preparatory signal was given at
11:O5, and the gun was fired for the sloops
and yawls to start at 11:15 They crossed
the line in the following order. in a very
light breeze from the southeast:
Fredonia, Ailsa, Navahoe, Effort, Car
mita, Rainbow, Vig1lant, Hester, Mira,
Humma, Wasp, Athene. Isolde.
The signal for the scEooners was given
at 11:20. and they crossed the line as fol-
lows:
Elmina, Uriel, Latona, Katrina. Elmer
aid, Corona, Shamrock. and the last to
cross the line was the old America There
was very little wind at the start. and the
boats had to stem a strong flood tide.
The Constitution got the best of the
start and crossed the line at IL :85:15. one
minute and thirty-five seconds ahead of
the Columbia, which crossed at 11:36:S0
Both carried their No jib topsails, and
tion seemed to be outsailing the Colum-
bia.

TO BETTER THE ARMY
Elaborate Scheme Prepared by Secre-
tary Root.
WILL Be PRESENTED TO CONGRESS
Contemplatss Military Maneuvers
at Fort Riley
A WAR COLLEGE PROPOSED

Secretary Root has an elaborate scheme
ask Congress for large appropriations TO
carry 1t into effect. His recent trip to the
west was to gather material for the pre-
sentation of the plan to Congress in his
forthcoming annual report. He devoted
special attention to the military posts at
Forts Leavenworth and Riley, Kansas, for
possible use in the project for the develop
ment of the army. According to statements
made by Secretary Root since his return 20
this city. Fort Leavenworth will continue
as the post at which infantry, cavalry and
light artillery officers will receive theoreti-
cal training in the respective branches OF
their profession. Riley will serve the
scene of mimic battles in which infantry
will deploy, cavalry charge and light artl
lery will support the arm to which It is
temporarily attached.
Site for Mancuvers.
Fort Riley is a splendid site for military
maneuvers,' said Secretary Root. The
reservation upon which the post stands
comprises thirty square miles, and this
great stretch of country will permit the ev-
olution of large bodies of men. The prac-
tice is bound to be beneficial to the whole
service. 1t is proposed to station on the
reservation a full regiment of cavalry and
five batteries of artillery. From time 10
time additional troops will be ordered there
to participate in the maneuVers. While on
the reservation they will have to live In
camp, and they will consequently be in
structed both in camp routine and In field
operations. The latter will simulate condi-
tions of actual war.
An extensive stretch of territory such
as we have at Riley is necessary I'm mod
ern military maneuvers. Soldiers are now
widely separated In battle, and as they ad-
vance they take advantage of every natu-
raj object which promises protection from
the enemy. There is greater individuality
and more independence in operations on the
part of the men. We are returning to the
methods used by our forefathers in fight
ing the Indians"
War College.
The general scheme for increasing the
efficiency of the army also contemplates
the establishment of a military war col
lege, and the organization of a general
staff similar to that branch of the prin-
cipal continental armies.

THE ERWIN LHNCHING.
Ihe Italian Consul at Vicksburr Re-
ports That Clues HIVE Been Eaund

The Italian consul at Vicksburg, Miss,
telegraphed today to the italian authori-
ties here that he had forwarded affidavits
fully establishing the Italian nationality
of'the men lynched at Erwin, Miss, a few
days ago. He reports also that the chances
are improving for the apprehension of the
lynchers, for as a result OF the awakened
public feeling in the neighborhood of the
crime clues have been secured by which
1t is expected that the guilty parties will
be identified.
The acting secretary of state has sent a
communication to Mr. Carignani. the
charge Of the Italian embassy expressing
the regret of this government at the lynch
Ing of two Italians recently in Misstssippi
and informing him that the state authori-
ties say efforts were making to bring the
perpetrators of the crime to Justice At
tentfon was directed to the fact that II
had not been established officially that the
men lynched were Italian subjects.
The same Information as that contained
in the note to the italian charge has been
forwarded to Mr.. Iddings. the charge of
the United States embassy at Rome, with
instructions to lay 1t before the Italian
foreign office. Governor Longino of Mis-
sissippi has advised the Italian consul at
Vicksburg of the steps he has taken to
apprehend the guilty persons.

CLAIMS FOR MANGLE ISLAND.
Sovereignty Over Them Asserted u!
Nicaragua.

The government of Nicaragua has re-
Gently put in a claim to sovereignty over
several groups of small islands, including
the Mangle Islands, lying off the Atlantic
coast of the Isthmus Of Panama The
question arose when President Loubet Of
France recently gave his decision as to
the boundary between Costa Rica and Co
lombia. The decision awarded to Colombia
a considerable part Of the territory in dis
pute, including the valuable bay of Chiri-
qui on the Atlantic side, and also several
groups of outlying islands which were in
dispute between the two governments.
When this award was made known Mica
ragua came forward with a claim of own
ership over the small group of islands. 1t
was answered in behalf of Colombia that
President Loubet had carefully gone ever
the records establishing ownership. and
that these had failed to disclose any au-
thority on the part of Nicaragua to claim
them. The negotiations have not pro-
ceeded beyond this point. The islands are
rather unimportant except for their strate-
gic location OF the easterly entrance to
any canal route which may be chosen.
For this reason the controversy has re-
ceived the attention Of the isthnSian ca nal
commission. which has not, however, had
occasion to take definite action on the SUBJ
ject.

GEN. TRIBES DIsAPPEARANCE.
1t IL Thought That He Has Gone 1,
Nicaragua.

The mysterious disappearance from New
York Of General Tribe. chief promoter of
the Colombian revolution, is receiving the
attention Of officials Of the Colombian le-
cation here, who have reason to believe
General Tribe has gone to Nicaragua
rather than to Costa Rica. The latter
country is on most friendly terms with
Colombia, so that it is not expected Gen.
eral Tribe could organize expeditions from
that point. But in Nicaragua there is said
to be revolutionary junta, with represen-
tatives from Ecuador, Venezuela Colom-
bia and other South American countries
Systematically propagating movements for
the establishment of ultra-liberal regimes
III these various governments. General
Tribe was a member of that junta, and
it is believed by the officials here that he
has gone to enlist the support of that revo-
lutionary body.
