LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES.
Important Question Pending Before
Spanish Treaty Claims Commission.

The Spanish treaty claims commission
has DECIDED that it has authority to inves-
tigate claims for losses which occurred in
the Philippine and Ladrone Islands as well
as in the West Indian Islands which passed
under the control of this country.
Argument on the governments demurrer
as to the liability for damages done Cuban
citizens of the United States has now been
concluded and the commission has taken
the matter under Amusement. 1t is thought
decision thereon will be handed down
some time during the week beginning July
Z. This finding is probably the most impor-
tant the commission will be called upon to
make, as 1t determines finally the right of
nearly all the claimants to damages from
this government.

LISTENED TO WITH INTEREST.
Senator Harris Spoke as an Expert on
the Isthmian Canal Bill.

The isthmian canal bill was under discus
sion in the Senate yesterday afternoon until
short executive session was taken just
before adjournment. The views of Senator
Harris of Kansas on the canal were of
special interest, because of the fact that he
is civil engineer and has had a varied ex-
perience as such.
One fact, he said, was prominent and con-
spicuous. No exploration or survey made
of a canal route there had ever placed on
record a report adverse in opinion as to
the feasibility and practicability of con-
structing a canal by the Nicaragua route.
In answer to Mr.. Hanna he quoted NJ. de
Lesseps, the famous French engineer as
saying to a committee of Congress that if a
canal with locks was to be constructed the
Nicaragua route was the best
He referred to 1.-The legal and diplomatic
difficulties which surround the Panama
Canal Company on all Sides" and declared
that these were absolutely insuperable.
The democrats expressed apprehension
that SPECTATORS had obtained or would OBJ
tain title to lands that would be necessary
to the United States if the Nicaragua route
were selected, and that these claims would
spring up in the pathway of the United
States with hands outstretched toward the
treasury with the demand to stand and de-
liver"
Mr.. Harris replied that in view of the
diplomatic arrangements between the
United States and Nicaragua no such ap-
prehension as that suggested was warrant
ed. although in project of this KIND and
this magnitude it was impossible perhaps
to guard absolutely against frauds of the
kind suggested.
Mr.. Harris expressed great fear that the
construction Of the Bohio dam on the Pan
anna route could not be accomplished and
that even If 1t were the dam could not be
made of strength sufficient to withstand the
tremendous head of water from the Chagres
river. In support of this opinion he made
an extended technical argument.
Mr.. Morgan discussed briefly the diplo-
matte negotiations between the United
States and the governments of Nicaragua
and Costa Rica to show that neither Mica
ragua nor Costa RIGA could have claims
against this government through the old
Maritime Canal Company. He pointed out
that it was through the wisdom and fore
sight of William Mckinley that the United
States had acquired the exclusive right to
construct a canal through Nicaragua and
Costa Rica. and he declared that this was
one Of the most magnificent acts ever per
formed by President of the United States"

can the nature of this volcanic gas.
These volcanoes of the Carib region
do not resemble the type with which the

of the latter class nearly always give warn

lava These in the West Indies, on The
contrary, explode with terrific suddenness

OHIO DEMOCRATS.
Platform Will Be Dictated by Tom
johnson, of Cleveland.

Sandusky, Ohio, Sept. 2.-The pres.
ence of politicians from all parts of the
state gives an animated appearance
to the democratic headquarters at the
West hotel and it is estimated that by
the time the state convention gets
down to real work tomorrow morning
there will be no fewer than 1000 visit
ors in town. Every arriving train to-
day has brought its quota and every
section of the state is represented.
The Buckeye state does not choose a
governor this year, but a number of
other important state offices, including
those of secretary of state and Judge
of the supreme court are to be filled.
Aside from the nominations, however,
there is sufficient material to be found
in the construction of the platform.
the differences between the prominent
party leaders and other elements of
the gathering, to arouse lively inter
est among the politicians. There ap-
pears to be no end to the number of
committee meetings and side confer
ences being held today in hotel cOrri-
dors and parlOrs, and some interest
ing developments on the convention
floor promise to result. John l.. Zim-
norman. from Springfield with a par
ty Of followers, is keeping busy pursu-
ing a buttonhole campaign in the in
terest of his announced candidacy for
governor next year. 1t is a noticeable
fact that the delegates and party lead
ers are more absorbed in the discus
sion of gubernatorial candidates and
questions of policy than in the nomin-
ations TO be made tomorrow.
The name of John f. Strang, of San
dusky. is heard in connection with the
nomination for secretary Of state, but
his is only one of numerous names
mentioned and the make up of the tic
ket cannot be forecasted with any de
gree of certainty.
A much keener interest is manifest
ed in the platform, on which the com
mittee of resolutions is at work today.
The platform will be in full accordance
with the ideas of Mayor Ton Johnson,

was fifteen feet high. 1t swept every
thing before it, taking houses and or
chards wherever they came in it's path.
Along on either side of the river were
farms, mostly planted in corn, and
some garden truck, which was all
swept out clean. One man, named An
derson, who worked on a ranch of B.
F. Gooch, was drowned and the only
one reported missing at present time.
A petition was circulated in this city
today to raise money for the unfor.

their crops swept away. Quite good
sum was raised which will be used in
buying provisions for them.

Manager Las Vegas Team.

The many friends of James Cosgrove
throughout the territory will feel very
badly to learn that he has been thus
accused, and all who know the young
gentleman will refuse to believe the
charge. He is an Albuquerque boy,
born and reared and has never been
known to do dishonest or unmanly
act in his life. AS a ball player, he is
the best first baseman in the south
west, and the two errors charged to
him were neither costly or rank. The
only tally made in the game by the Las
Vegas team was driven in by him with
clean cut single to left field. His
playing was not up to his standard on
Sunday, but this was caused from over
anxiety to make a good showing, and
happens at times to the best ball play
ers in the business.
1t would be just as fair to accuse
Charley Rhodes of throwing the game
as it is to accuse Cosgrove, for twice
did Charley fail when a hit probabl.'

nlng with three men on bases and in
the ninth with third occupied. Both
times he struck out. This was caused

OF the three tallies made by Santa
Fe only one was earned, the other two
being due to errors by Hale, Tipton
