IRRIGATION WORKS
WILL NOW BE BUILT
Government Takes First Definite Step
Toward Actual Construction.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 12.-The
secretary of the interior has approved
the award of contract for the construc-
ton of an irrigation canal to connect
the Truckee and Carson rivers in Ne
vada to Charles A. Warren & Co., Of
San Francisco, and the e. B. and A. L.
Stone company, of Oakland, Cal, at an
aggregate cost of $942,437.
This is the first definite action taken
by the department looking to actual
construction under the reclamation act.
The proposed canal will be thirty miles
in length. It's main purpose Is to carry
the waters of the Truckee river to q
reservoir to be constructed in the VAL
ley of Carson river. Incidentally about
5000 acres Of land under the canal will
be irrigated by 1t. Ultimately the pro-
ject is expected to reclaim about 300,-
900 acres of arid lands in Western Ne
vada and Eastern California, including
the old forty-mile desert.
Chief Statistician Powers, of the
census bureau, today transmitted to
the director of the census report on
the status of irrigation in the state of
Washington for 1902 1t shows that
there are 1885 irrigators in the state
and that the irrigation area covers
154,962 acres. The cost of the system
was $2,330,7S5, and the total length Of
main bitches 1,095 miles.

SOFIA, Aug. 12.-Representatives Of
the Macedonian committee say that the
Roumanian and Greek inhabitants Of
a number of villages have joined the
insurgents, and that the Mohamme-
dams are taking refuge in the cities
and towns At Krusheve the revolu-
tionists have seized the repeating rifles
and ammunition stored in the maga-
zine.
The Bulgarian government charges
Turkey with doing less to prevent the
insurgents from crossing the frontier
than Bulgaria, though Turkey main
tains four times as many TROOPS along
the border The Turkish soldiers in
variably retire to barracks at sunset
and remtain there until sunrise, leaV-
ing free egress to the Macedonian in
surgents during the night. The Turks
fight bravely during daylight, but dis
like skirmishing in-the dark.
1t is everywhere declared that the
present ministry is doing it's utmost to
check the revolutionary movement, but
the situation is reaching point where
circumstances may prove too strong
for the cabinet. The growing econorn-
ic depression in the country constitutes
a dangerous factor in the situation.
The merchants are unable to obtain
credit abroad and are forced to pay
cash. The influx of thousands of Mace
domains across the border has dlsor-
ganiZed the labor market and has be
come a series of great discomfort. The
commercial classes state that the pres
ent condition of affairs is no longer en-
durable Even war would be prefera-

ticularly unfortunate this summer,
three members of the family having
been laid up as a result of assaults
upon them by other men.
A month ago Deeb Mike, brother
Of the boy who was assaulted yester-
day, was attacked in a similar man
ner. A man on st. Peter street kicked
him in the stomach and he was con-
fnded to his bed for some time.
While the first boy was still in bed
as result of his injuries, the father,
John Mike, was struck over the head
with a shovel by fellow laborer on a
paving gang. and was released from
the hospital but day or two ago. The
boy who was taken to the hospital
yesterday was given the same room
which his father had occupied.
Costello is said to have been drink
ing at the time he assaulted young
Mike yesterday. The lad, who is a
newsboy, had asked him to have his
shoes shined and upon asking him the
second time, Costello kicked him in
the stomach. The lad was rendered
unconscious and is said to be in a Sc
rious condition.

FATALITIES ATTEND
ISLAND HURRICANE
Villages in Jamaica Are Wiped
Out and Financial Loss Is
Heavy.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Aug. 12.-The
effects of the hurricane on the island
of Jamaica were greater than at first
believed. Port Antonio, on the north
coast, was overwnelmed. Only six
houses were left standing there. The
United Fruit conapany's wharves, Of
fees, hotel and plantations were utter
ly demolished. Five of the company S
steamers. including the Simon Dumois,
Alfred Dumois and Brighton, were
driven ashore Port Maria, another
town on the north coast, also suffered
similarly. The coast is strewn with
wreckage of local sailing vessels. 1t
is feared that the loss of life has been
heavy, thirty fatalities having already
been reported. principally among sea-
men.
The entire eastern end of the island
has been devastated. Villages have been
wiped out and public buildings and
churches demolished. Thousands of
the peasantry, rendered homeless and
destitute, are wandering sabout seeking
food and shelter. The destruction of
the banana plantations has been COM
plete, and the fruit trade is paralyzed
for the next twelve months Hundreds
brought to bankruptcy and ruin.
The western end of the island also
suffered considerably. New banana
plantations planted there were partly
destroyed, and the orange and coffee
crops were injured. The Norwegian
steamer Salvatore di Giorgii was
driven ashore at ,Annotta bay and lies
in a dangerous position. Several sail
ing vessels were wrecked on the north
side. 1t is still stormy and threaten
ing, and there are fears that there may
be renewal of thesst orIh.t

misery of the poor and homeless.
Thousands of houses in Kingston were

PFTRFL ATTEMPTS
TO TAKE A CHAU
Erie Fishing Boat Is Batterep
Up by Canadian Revenue
Cutter.

ERIE, Pa, Aug. IL. = The Silver
Spray, a fishing boat owned here, came
into port this afternoon in a badly
battered condition, due to an encounter
in miIlaEt with the Canadian revenue
cutter Petrol.
The Canadian authorities have for
years had trouble with American fish
ermen who were poaching on their side
of the lake and the Petrol is kept con-
stantly on the lookout for them. At
noon she came on the Silver Spray on
the Canadian side of the lake, and at
once ordered Capt. Chris Chau to stop.
The Petrol is strong steel craft, and,
it is said, attempted to ram the Ameri-
can boat before she could comply with
the Petrefs order. Capt Chau, remem-
bering the fate of several other boats
from this side, which had been cap
tured and confiscated, decided to try
to escape and started ahead at full
speed.
The captain of the Petrol opened fire
with all the guns he had on board, and
some twenty shots had struck the boat
One passed through the smok kestack
into the pilot house in which Capt.
Chau stood at the wheel, and two more
struck the pilot house.
The chase was kept up for some
time and Capt. Ghau was nearly in
despair, as his cold water pump re-
fused to work and he feared that his
boat might be struck below the water
line. He finally crossed the interna-
tional line and the Petrol gave up the
pursuit.
The Silver Spray is a double decker,
and was for twelve y,klrs in service at
Buffalo as pleasure steamer Capt.
Chau will report the affair to the state
department, as he says he was only
looking for some of his nets which had
drifted toward the Canadian shore
A large number of American fishing
tugs have been confiscated by the Ca
madam government One, however, be-
longing at DunkirA was a few days
ago returned at the request of Secre-
tary of State Hay.
The only man injured on the Silver
Spray was Frederick Culver who was
hit in the leg by shot He is now in
the hospital. The fishermen say the
Petrol used her small deck cannon.

BIG BATTLESH|P
MASSACHUSETTS
GOES BUMP HARD
She Strikes on Ledge of Rocks
at Bar Harbor, Me-, While
Starting Out With the Rest of
the Atlantic Squadron and
Must Go to Dry Dock.

BAR HARBOR, Me-, Aug. 12.-While
leaving the harbor during thick fog
today in company with other vessels
of the North Atlantic squadron, the
battleship Massachusetts sustained
considerable damage by striking on the
ledge of rocks off the western end of
Egg rock. The big vessel slipped over
the rocks into deep water but the two
forward bulkheads soon filled and sew
eral plates forward were cracked. The
Massachusetts was headed back into
the harbor with considerable difficulty,
accompanied by her sister vessel, the
Indiana, and the gunboat Scorpion.
She will remain here until Capt. Man
ming, her commander, receives orders
from Washington, when it is expected
she will proceed to Brooklyn to be
dry docked
The squadron, under the command
of Rear Admiral Barker, which has
been on this part Of the coast engaged
in war game, got under way shortly
before noon today for Long Island
sound, where there will be tactical
exercises previous to an inspection and
review next Monday by President
miral Dewey. The flagship Kearsarge
led the fleet and Immediately follow
ing were the battleships Alabama, Illi-
nois, Texas, Massachusetts and In
diana, the cruisers Olympia, Balti-
more, Topeka, Yankee and Prairie, and
the gunboat Scorpion, besides the
smaller vessels of the fleet.
The squadron no sooner started than
a dense fog, which had been hanging
off shore all the morning rolled in, and
within ten minutes it was impossible
to see more than fifty yards. 1t is be-
lieved that the accident was due to a
miscalculation of the Massachusetts,
position on the part of the navigating
officer. When the big battleship struck
she was going at the rate of about 91a
