he "is advised by the United States

His Version of the Difficulty With
Captain JOhanssem.

captain JOhanssen.
Tromso, Norway, Aug. 13-Evelyn
B. Baldwin and several members Of
the crew of the America have made
statements before a notary public re-
garding the dispute between Mr.. Bald
win and Captain Johanssen Of the
America.
According to Baldwin's statement,
Captain Johanssen refused to obey the
orders of the ice pilot and that neces-
STATED his removal from the command.
Baldwin also says that Captain Johans-
sen left the vessel at Honingsvaag
without Baldwin's knowledge or con-
sent.
The relations between Baldwin and
the ice pilot were always of the best,
the statement asserts, and it is added
that, while the death of half the dogs
from worms hindered the party from
reaching as far north as intended,
Baldwin is confident that within twelve
months the America will reach the in
tended latitude en- route to the north
pole
The consulate at Christiania, to which
Captain Johanssen complained, has re-
ferred him to the consulate at Bergen.

BUTOHERED BY MOROs.
Soldiers Slain at Camp Not Far
From BacOIOd.


Manila, Aug 13-A small party of
Moros surprised an outpost of the
Twenty-seventh infantry at Camp
Wears, and Sergeant Foley and Pri-
vate Carey were killed and Private
Van Dorm was severely wounded.
The Moros, who numbered only a
dozen, were armed with spears and
swords. The morning was dark and
foggy. The attacking party crawled
to within few feet of the sentinels
and then sprang upon them suddenly.
The entire outpost rushed to the re-
lief of the sentinels, but they We're
too late and the Moros escaped, al
though possibly few of them were
wounded. The American sentinels
were terribly cut by the swords and
spears.
The attacking Moros were all from
Bacolod, and the occurrence probably
will result in a move against that
town, which has a strong fort and
other defenses.

Mclean reporting the arrival of the
Cincinnati at Barcelona. The Marietta
is at Port of Spain, Trinidad, and is
subject to the orders of Commander
Mclean.
Situation as Found by Mclean.
Commander McLeans dispatch to
the department was in part as follows:
Barcelona occupied by revolution
lists. (They) have imprisoned all civil
(officials), and military officers are in
possession of entire district. Some pill
laying done, but everything now quiet.
Twenty-nine business houses sacked,
mostly foreign; also fifteen private
dwellings,
The navy department officials are in
clined to think, after studying Com
mander McLean's report, that the rev.
olutionists in sacking the town seized
what they could lay their hands on,
but were very careful not to disturb
the interests of Americans or others
whose governments might make trou-
BILE for them.
The navy department also received
uul lilSS INC a lIOlb OOlh-
mander McCrea of the Machias, dated
st. Haitien, Wednesday, announcing
that the blockade established by Adj
miral Killick was admitted to be inef-
fectual and had been abandoned.
Minister Powell. at Port au Prince,
Haiti, cabled to the state department
later in the day that telegraphic com
munication between Port au Prince
and Gonaives had been cut. 1t is pre-
sumed that this is the work of the rev.
olutionists, as they have been particu-
larly active in severing lines of COM
munication

SUE FOR A FORTUNE.
Jersey City Claimants to Money Left
by benjamin Franklin,

Jersey City, Aug. 14.-Claimants for
money presented by Benjamin Frank
lin few years before his death to the
cities of Philadelphia and Boston for
the benefit of printers and artisans of
the printers craft have appeared in
Jersey City. They are Benjamin
Franklin, druggist of that city; his
brother Walter, and their sisters, Mrs.
Booz and Mrs. Fine.
The claimants say they are descend
ants of Franklin and that the money
left by him to the two cities has never
been used for the purpose for which it
was intended. The original fund given
to each city is said to have been f1O0,
and it is claimed that the total amount,
including compound interest, will now
be about 100000. The claimants have
retained counsel to push this claim.
