COMMANDER POTTS CASE.
Berlin Foreign Office Busy Denying
 Recent Statements.

Berlin, May 27-The foreign office here is busily engaged in issuing de- nials of the story that Emperor Will liam had refused to receive Lieutenant Commander Templin M. Potts, who will succeed Commander William H. Beehler as naval attache to the United States embassy here. The morning mail at the foreign office brought back newspaper clipping containing this report which had been sent to Emperor William, This clipping was pasted on sheet of foolscap upon which his majesty had annotated an emphatic denial of the statement it contained. His majesty's anotation was ready off, cially to the representative of the As sociated Press in the following words:
 T never heard of Potts before and did not know that there was such a man. and still less that a Captain Potts had been ordered to Berlin''
 Lieutenant Commander Potts is not yet naval attache at Berlin. He has been assigned to special duty under Commander Beehler and is now en- gagged in familiarizing himself with the details of the post in order that he may relieve Commander Beehler October l. It would be in no way remarkable if Lieutenant Commander Potts were not presented to Emperor William before that date.

THE SEITZ IN BAD SHAPE.
Schooner stun Ashore on Wasque shoaI,
 Vineyard Haven.

Vineyard Haven, Mass, May 27.-The schooner Arthur seitz, stranded on Wasque Shoal, is in very bad shape to- night. Her hold is full of water. She is headed to the eastward and is heeled over to the southward, so that with a southerly wind the seas break over her decks. Her forward matches have been washed off. To all appearance she is hogged on the port side about midships. J. B. Crowley and Arthur Crowley, agents for the schooner and H. s. Cook, agent of the Boston Towboat company, went to the schooner to-day. It was decided that when the sea gets sufficiently calm the Boston ToWboat company is to put pumps aboard the Seitz and endeavor to pump her clear.
 Schooner Frank A. Palmer is at an- chor in six fathoms of water near the end oG HaWes Shoal.. This is a safe place while she remains there, but sand shoals lie in every direction. The task of moving her promises to be difficult one, as without extreme care she will take bottom. The attempt will proba- ply be made, however. The vessel is making considerable water but her own pumps can easily keep her free.

DIXON BOARDNAN OUT.
will Not Take Part in Future Track
 Events at Yale.

Dixon Boardman, 1902, Yale's middle distance runner and the intercollegiate champion in the quarter mile, has re- signed from the Yale track team. Cap tain Hargrave states that Boardman resigned at the request of Boardman's S parents.
 Boardman has not been in condition this season, and his work has been far below his standard of last year. His failure to round into condition has been a disappointment to Captain Hargrave and to Trainer Murphy. Boardman will do no more training and will, of course, not be taken to New York to partici- pate in the intercollegiate track meet next Saturday.
 It is possible that one or two other men may leave the team prior to the in- tercollegiate contests as result of their failure to develop into the condi- tion required.

AN ERUPTION AT NIGHT.
Mont PeIee Again Alarms People of
 Fort de France.

Fort de France, Island of Martinique. | Monday, May 26.-9 D. m.-The volcano l (Mont Pelee) is again in eruption, Huge, inky black clouds are rolling over Fort de France in great masses, and there are peculiar lightning flashes in the clouds. The inha bitants are now docking into the great square of the town. If the demonstra ton increases a panic is imminent. A very heavy surf has been beating on the shore for the last two hours, and an enormous, grayish yellow cloud at great height is dimly visible in the direction of Mon Pelee. The night is intensely dark, and stars are only faint ly visible.
 Fort de France is in no danger from the volcano, but there is considerable apprehension of a panic in the night time, should the grayish-yellow cloud reach here and ashes and stones begin to fall.
 There are no noises from the volcano at present.
 Roseau, Island of Dominica, R. W. T., May 27.-During the whole Of last night ashes from the volcano on the island of Martinique fell here in greater quanti- ty than has been experienced before since the beginning of the outbreaks of Mont Pelee.

Meeting of British Cnbtnet-To Retain
 Tax on Grain.

London, May 27.-The British cabinet discussing the communications received from Pretoria since the meeting of the ministers last Friday. It is understood that the inner committee of the cabi- net telegraphed the result of the de- Alterations to Pretoria this afternoon. The Boer delegates at the Transvaal capital will then probably return to Vereenging and report to the burghers who are still assembled there.
 A. J. Balfour, the government leader, made no statement in the House of Commons to-day in regard to the peace negotiations, but he announced a post ponement of the discussion of the bud get, fixed for this week, remarking that it would be very inconvenient to debate the budget while there were other things in the balance" He subse- ouently explained that it would be im- possible, in discussing the budget, to prevent references to the peace negotia- tions.
 According to the views of officials here there is nothing to warrant the pessimistic opinions expressed in some quarters regarding the ultimate out come of the discussions at Pretoria and at Vereeniging. The Associated Press learns that the government con- tinues to be satisfied that the negotia- tions will result in peaceful settle ment. Some minor points are still be- iuG discussed; but these are expected to be fully disposed of within day or two.
 London, May 2S.-The Daily Tele- graph says this morning it understands that the cabinet has decided to retain the tax on grain.
 A despatch to the Daily Telegraph from Pretoria reports that 200 Boers have surrendered at Frankfort, in the orange River colony.

THE INTERPRETATIONS CASE.
Trial Before Justice Tyler i'm East Haven
 Yesterday Afternoon.

The trials of James Brown and Mrs. Nellie Green Tallmadge of East Haven, whose cases have caused so much talk lately in that village, were held yester- day afternoon in the office of the town clerks office in East Haven. It seems that there has been for twenty years or more fued between the Brown and Green families of Short Beach. Mrs. Tallmadge is a daughter of the Green family and about two weeks ago she and MT. Brown had an altercation. Mr. Brown made complaint to Grand Juror Dr. Holbrook of East Haven, that Mrs. Tallmadge had assaulted him. Dr. Holbrook then cast about for justice of the peace to sign warrant. The East Haven justices felt themselves disqualified, from their knowledge of the relations between the two families, from issuing a warrant and so Justice of the Peace George A. Tyler of this city signed the warrant.
 Then Mrs. Tallmadge and her mother, Mrs. Nellie Green, made complaint to Grand Juror Holbrooke that Mr Brown had assaulted them, and warrant was issued for MT. Browns arrest.
 The trials were held yesterday after noon at 8 o'clock before Justice Tyler MT Brown had secured Attorney Charles H. Fowler of this city to rep resent him, while Mrs Green and Mrs. Tallmadge retained Attorney George S. McLaren. Attorney Fowler assisted Grand Juror Holbrook in the prosecu- tion against the two women, while At torney Fowler assisted in the case against Brown. The latter was acquit- ted of the charge of assaulting Mrs. Green, but was convicted of the charge of assaulting Mrs. Tallmadge and was fined $1 and costs. Mrs Tallmadge was convicted of the charge of assault ing MT. Brown and was fined $2 and costs. It was reported last night that both sides would take an appeal to the court of common pleas.

BALLOON CUT WITH KNITEs.
Outrage Against Santos Dumont by
 London Miscreants.

London, May 27.-The balloon in which Santos Dumont was to make his aseensions here hung in the Crystal palace until last Monday. It was that day packed and removed to the grounds ready for the ascents which were to be- gin next week. On being unpacked at the grounds to-day the balloon was found to have been mysteriously cut with knives in a manner which com pletely spoiled the envelope. The as cents win consequently have to be post poned until Santos Dumont can obtain a new envelope which will probably take several weeks. Santos Dumont declares the cutting of his balloon to be an outrage. The matter is being inves- tigated by the detectives.

in Advance.

Cleveland, May 27.-The feature of day was the pnanimity of sentiment in favor of Senator Hanna. He has been the center of interest since his arrival from Washington last Sunday. The conference of leaders with him contin- ued to-day, but when it came to the meeting of the delegates al o'clock this afternoon by congressional dis tricts the sentiment for him was dem- onstrated in an unprecedented degree. of the twenty-one districts, and they more than realized their expectations.
 The drift of sentiment in all the pre- liminary meetings was most enthusias- tic for the senator, and in the conven- tion the delegates would not rest till he got up and showed himself, although he insisted that he would not discuss the issues in advance of the keynote speech of General Grosvenor, who is to be the permanent presiding officer tomorrow.
 At the meeting of the committee on resolutions tonight it was reported that most of the opposition to Chair man Dicks draft of platform came from Harding, Daugherty, Douglas and Tayler. They wanted the plank on Gu ban reciprocity to endorse President Roosevelt's policy specifically rather than in terms of general endorsement of the national administra tion.
 With the platform completed tonight and only three nominations for minor places to be made, it is thought that the convention will conclude early to-mor- row, although General Grosvenor will speak at length and the time of Sena- tor Hanna's speech is something of which he is himself unable to give any information. There is some talk about calling out the candidates for governor for trial heats on the platform if the work of the convention concludes early | in the day.

Washington May PA fruitless cf- fort was made just before the adjourn ment of the senate to-day to secure an agreement on a time for a vote on the Philippine bill. The discussion indicat- ed that some day next week eventually would be agreed upon, but no time was fixed. During the discussion a proposi- tion was made that time be fixed on alternate Tuesdays. beginning next week, for vote on the Philippine bill, the Nicaragua canal bill and the Cuban reciprocity bill, and that final ad- journment be agreed on for the fourth Tuesday, but it was too startling to be taken seriously, although some senators regarded it favorably.-
