CAPT. LEUTZE REPORTS
THREE OF THE SHIPS MEN At
Tackled THE POLICE.
They Afterward Came Quietly on
Board the Maine-No One
Was Shot At.

Captain E. H. c. Leutze, commanding
the battle ship Maine, has made the fol-
| lowing report to the Navy Department In
! regard to the reported troubles at Newport
| News:
II respectfully confirm the following tele-
gram replying to the departments inquiryl
Eighteen men absent without leave, hav-
ing left ship while in dock. No one shot or
snot at
81 would further state that while in the
dry dock with about $50 men on board,
with but few petty officers Of any expert
| ence. we had about the usual trouble ex-
perienced with vessels in dock, specially
when such dock is situated In a private
yard.
THE principal cause Of trouble was the
situation of the Sinks which were out OF
sight of the ship about one-quarter Of a
mile away, and behind vessels in process Of
construction. AS many sentries could
be spared were posted and master-at-
arms stationed at the sinks. The number
of men allowed ashore at any one time was
course, an easy matter for the men to
leave the yard or to get liquor.
THE only disturbance was on Saturday
about $50 Pm. after the dock had been
partially flooded. On account Of the heavy
wind the ship could not be taken out. At
the time mentioned, the police Of this city
brought three men Tor whom rewards had
been offered to the ship. When near the
bow Of the vessel these men turned on the
policemen and commenced a fight. This II
a usual play to the gallery Of shipmates.
The men on board commenced to yell and
shout at the police. I Immediately went to
quarters, but the noise had been considera-
bly, Quieted by the executive officer and the
marine guard, which had been sent forward
to disperse the men. The trouble was over
within few minuteA
while the marine guard was forward,
the policemen came and asked for assist
ance, but before the marines could be
brought aft the men In question, having
lost their audience, came on board quietly.
There was no further trouble. Sentries
were posted around the ship as matter
of precaution.
I'VE have now eighteen men absent with
out leave, mostly coal passers One of the
eighteen is boatswains mate, second class
who left the ship after we came out of the
dock.

been taken with the men concerned

THE BROWN ESTATE GRAVEL.
Question as to Payment and Further

For several years past the District has
been using annually a quantity of gravel
from property owned by the Brown estate,
near the Soldiers Home, and payments
have been made to Mrs Mary E. Brown Of
st. Louis. as the widow Of George T.
Brown. Under date Of February % last
the District Commissioners received letter
from Mrs. F. o. Slater of Alexandria, Va,
requesting that check be mailed to her for
the last gravel taken from the bank saying
she Is one of the owners. L. P. Bradshaw,
clerk of the engineer department, investi-
gated the matter for the Commissioners and
reports that SO far as the papers in the
case are concerned at the present time Mrs
Browns rights as the widow Of George
Brown, are only presumptive
AS to her real right to represent the es-
tate, however, he states that he has spoken
to Mr.. Wilton ]. Lambert, her attorney,
who informed the Office that Mrs Brown
is the executrix under the will of her hus-
band, and In other jurisdictions where he
owned property has taken out letters testa-
mentary. In the District she has not gone
through this formality, but 1t was stated
That steps to that end would be taken. Mr..
Bradshaw suggested that no more gravel
be taken from the place until the matter
was finally adjusted. The papers have now
been forwarded to the Commissioners. with
statement by Captain Newcomer, assist
ant to the Engineer Commissioner, In which
he says:
at appears from the preceding indorse-
ment that the District Is justified in dealing
with Mrs. Brown for this gravel, and as it
is proposed to use some more Of the gravel
as soon as the weather will permit in order
to make needed repairs to the roads in the
vicinity of this gravel bank, it is considered
inadvisable to abstain from the use of such
gravel pending the action indicated in the
preceding Endorsement The question of
payment for the gravel could be held up
II need be, but the continued use of the
gravel is desired. It is recommended, there
fore, that Mrs. Slater be informed that Mrs
Mary E. Brown has been paid for such
gravel as has been taken from this bank
and that there is no money now due to the
estate from the District, and, moreover,
that it is understood that Mrs. Brown is the
executrix Of the estate of her deceased hus-
band. SO that she appears to be the proper
party to receive payment for such gravel
as may be used"

THE ALASKAN TREATY
EXCHANGE OF RATIFICATION
THIS MORNING.
Preparation Of the American Case is
Being Made by Ex-Secretary
Foster and Mr.. Lansing.
h for the accommodation
of our Patrons.

Secretary Hay and Sir Michael Herbert,
the British ambassador, this morning ex-
changed notifications of the Alaska boun-
dairy treaty. The preparation Of the cases
of both sides will be prosecuted with all
speed as they must be exchanged within
sixty days.
The treaty provided that these ratifica-
tions might be. exchanged either here or
in London, and it was decided to complete
the treaty in Washington to save time. 1t
will require the greatest effort on the part
Of the United States government to have
its case ready within the appointed time.
The boundary question has, of course. been
under consideration for many years. but
without attracting much public attention.
The State Department, however, has been
making quietly and thoroughly and through
skilled surveyors and experts in boundary
research most careful search into the
basis Of every rumor and Indian tradition
touching the location of the original boun-
dairy line between the British and Russian
possessions. In addition to that, experts
have visited Russia and other European
capitals where collections of rare old
charts are held. especially instructed tc
study up the cartography of northwestern
America, with the desire to throw light Oh
the boundary question.
Consequently the United States govern
ment has come into possession In recent
years of a vast amount OF data touc1'nS
this boundary controversy. which, to be OF
use, must be thoroughly studied. Secre-
tary Hay has placed this work on the
shoulders of ex-Secfetary John w. Foster,
who is assisted in the work by Mr.. Lam
sing who became an authority in a meas
ure on Alaskan matters through his con-
nection with the Boring sea arbitration.
These agents are now hard at work. in the
State Department preparing the case OF
the United States, and owing to the magni-
tude of the task 1t is doubtful whether
they can be ready within the specified
time.
Now that the notifications have been ex-
changed, it is understood that the per-
sonnet Of the American commissioners viii.
be formally announced. 1t Is already
known unofficially that they will be Sscre-
tary Root Senator Lodge of Massachu-
sets and Senator Turner CT Washington.
The personnel Of the British side OF the
commission is not yet known, but Is under
stood that it will include at least one
Canadian.

THE ISLE OF PINES.
A Report of the Secretary Of War on
It's Status

Its Status.
The President sent to the Senate Satur-
day a report Of the Secretary Of War upon
the resolution requesting information as
to the Isle of Pines The Secretary quotes
from an Endorsement made by the late mil
itary governor Of Cuba, who says that at
the date Of transfer Of the government of
Cuba the Isle of Pines was under the
municipality of the province of Havana.
The Isle Of Pines was transferred to the
de facto government of the republic Of
Cuba pending settlement by treaty be-
tween the United States and Cuba. The
island today is under the control of the
civil governor Of the province of Havana
and the republic of Cuba. No special &C
ton was taken to protect the interests of
United States citizens who have purchased
property and settled in the Isle of Pines.
because no such action was necessary. All
Americans are in the cond'tto as other

they went there they took the risks incl
dent to the situation. Secretary Root says
