LAUGH AT ROyEsTvENsKY.
American Naval Ohlcers Believe m
 Torpedo Boats Were Around.

American Naval Onlcers Believe no
 Torpedo Boats Were Around.
 Washington, Oct. 2s.-Such informa- ton as the State Department has re- ceived from its agents in Europe tends to confirm the belief that the North Sea incident will be submitted to a commission representing both govern ments with a neutral umpire
 It is not believed that this commis- sion. in the event that 1t found that there were no reasonable basis for such apprehension on the part of the Rus sian commanders as would warrant them in firing into the British fishing fleet. would undertake to prescribe punishments for the officers at fault. It would rather simply point out their lapses. leaving 1t to the Russian Gov ernment to deal with them.
 Naval officers here, who have been keeping pretty close watch on the movements of the Japanese and Rus sian naval vessels, scout the suggestion that Japanese torpedo boats could have been present in the North Sea. The naval belief Is that, If there were any Japanese craft in those waters they were fishing craft intended to discharge fish torpedoes. It is said here that the Russians were warned that the Japa- nese intended to equip just such craft to attack the Russian vessels.

RUSSIAN VESSELS HIT.
Rcjestveasky Says Men on Ills Fiss
 ship Were Wounded.

Rojestvensky Says Men on His Fias"
 ship Were Wounded.
 London, Oct. 2s.-The Daily Chronicle tomorrow will publish an interview nao with Admiral Rojestvensky at Vlsp to- day, which gives few interesting statements not yet published. < The admiral Is quoted IS saying that when the vessels of the Russian squad ron found themselves surrounded py a fishing fleet, the warships had to stop their engines continually so as not to get their screws entangled In the nets. The warships frequently gave way to the trawlers.
 Suddenly the cruiser Aurora saw ahead two torpedo boats coming to- wards the squadron at full speed. She turned her search light on them and then noticed, two floating mines close to her. An order to fire on the torpedo boats was Immediately given. with the result that one of them was sunk and the other escaped and was lost sight of among the trawlers.
 The admiral added there were two men injured on his flagship. One. a priest. had a hand shot off. Six shots fired during the incident hit the Rus sian vessels. The Aurora was hit and has not yet been repaired.
 One trawler came in range Of a searchlight and immediately the pro- jector was turned skywards at an angle of forty-five degrees as a signal for the squadron not to fire on that boat The first lasted altogether nine min utes.
 Touching upon the warship which Is alleged to have remained behind, the admiral said:
 Any English naval officer under ndu that xvn,,16 hA frnnoaaihla faF a Russian war vessel to remain behind considering the presence of hostile tor' pedo boats.
 'The trawlers had their lights out. ! need hardly affirm to you my absolute conviction of the presence of these tor pedo boats. I am very sorry for what has occurred. did not know of it until I arrived here. I sincerely hope the matter will be settled amicably."

 London, Oct. 2s.--In answer to an inquiry regarding the alleged presence of torpedo boats among the Hull fish ing fleets. Dr. Jackson. solicitor of the owners of the fleet, wires as follows:
 '1 have personally, interviewd the crews of the Moulmein. Mino and Gull and the boatswsin of the Crane and the other injured men from the Crane They unanimously and emphatically deny Admiral Rojestvensky's sugges- tion concerning vessels like torpedo boats moving rapidly among the fish, ing fleet, which they characterize as a fabrication.

NO RAIN IS COMING.
DRY SPELL OVER THE ENTIRE !. COUNTRY.
Prospect fs That Water VIII be ship ped from Montgomery's Ffna Artesian Supply-SprinklfnG
 0f Streets Continues.

No use to look up in the sky for clouds. There is no hope for rain to- day.
 In all the United States there were only two unimportant showers yester- day. At Palestine. Texas, and Jack sonville, Fla, they had some rain. It must have been delightful to have been in Palestine and Jacksonville. when they have real rain, and not poor make-shift made up of line of hose three negroes and a stream of hydrant water. It is not often, not oftener than once in a lifetime. that citizens of Montgomery have had reason to envy the people of Palestine, or Jackson- vile, or of any other town, but yester- day was one of those rare days. The towns that have the rare blessing of rain. real water falling from the clouds have a right to be envied.
 The present dry spell Is the longest that Montgomery has ever experienced. The last rain that fell in Montgomery was on September [. The ofilcial an- nouncement that rain was assurediy on its way to Montgomery would be as gratifying news to this section as the true prediction that Parker was to be elected.
 The people generally do not appre- ciate the gravity of the situation. It Is possible that water may have to be shipped out of Montgomery to nearby towns which are not so fortunate as to have splendid supply of artesian water. Such thing Is being discuss ed. There is need for 1t. The wells in these towns are going dry. If the dry spell continues through many more days water will have to be sent on the railroads for the people as well as the stock. It is in the range of possibili- ties that tank cars filled with water will be sent out and the people will come to the depot to carry back their water supply in pitchers and buckets.
 AS for Montgomery, there is no pros- pect of even a slight contraction of the water supply. The city's fine water system is supplied from never falling artesian wells. So sure are the au- thorities of. their supply they are daily pouring out thousands of gallons upon the streets of the city fighting the dust demon. Even the suburban streets are being flodoed.
 But in the country, to the south of the city. the people are hauling water daily for the stock. If the few creeks of the county that still run free ly should dry up. as the smaller branches have done, the extent of the misfortune could not be told.
 Section Director F. P. Chaffee of the Weather Bureau said last night that nearly every one of his weather cor respondents had written him that the people were hauling water for their stock.

THE LETTER OF ELLIS.
ExplaRation of Reference Made By
 Judge Parker.


 New York, Oct. 2S.-The communi- cation on Philippine affairs which Judge Parker alluded to in his speech today Is five column letter in The Evening Post signed by H. Parker El- lis and addressed to Charles Francis Adams, Carl Schurz, Edwin Burritt Smith, Herbert Welsh and Moorfield Storey, and by them transmitted to Judge Parker. It reviews at length conditions in the Philippines, where the writer spent four months and sums them up as follows:
 We have, in fact, destroyed the pub lie buildings of the country; inflicted crop losses during a period of six years; ravaged and burned large sec tions of the territory; produced con- ditions leading to the death of most of the farm animals and to serious hu- man and animal epidemics; brought foreign trade to an unprofitable con- dition by our tariff legislation: inau- gurated a tremendously expensive gov ernment for the benefit of foreign of- flee holders; established a partisan ju- diciary; crowded the prisons and de- ported or sent to the gallows the best and most patriotic of the native lead erS,"

DANGER OF WAR
(Continued from Page One.)

i5 really an attack upon our national honor and implies that we are not do- ing our duty as neutrals. In an island Kingdom like Great Britain, the na- tionality of every craft is known. It is inconceivable that we could be har- boring Japanese steamers and war ships without Russia and indeed the whole civilized world knowing 1t.
 T enter a most emphatic protest against such an allegation. The truth will be made manifest and as clear as monday when the inquiry Is held, which in most statesmanlike manner has been welcomed by the Czar. But in bare justice to the CSar and the Russian Government, I will say they never at any time underestimated the gravity of the crisis or failed to do what they could to diminish 1t.
 "The Russian Admiral, however, has a theory of the rights and duties of a belligerent fleet as against neutrals seas a place of public danger. Suppose some dark night a liner or transport fell in with the second Pacific fleet at Gibraltar, where they had intended to divide, and approached within the magic distance, according to the Ad- miraPs theory he would be justified in sinking it.
 The position Is one impossible for neutraIs to tolerate. A fleet animated by that policy would be fleet which would have to be eliminated out of ex- istence if civilized commerce was to pursue it's way unimpeded.
 Rejestvensky Rebuked.
 T am glad to think that in this view the Russian Government agrees and has given orders which will prevent a recurrence of the tragedy that has filled our hearts with sorrow and the hearts of all those who had heard of 1t abroad with something approaching in dignation."
 Mir. BaIfour thought 1t must be ad- mitted that. the Russian Government had showed an enlightened desire that truth and justice should prevail. Only few hours ago he should himself have taken a very gloomy view of the pos sibIlity of a satisfactory and peaceful solution. He thought the Emperor had shown himself an enlightened judge of what was right in the matter as be- tween nation and nation. The British Government did not ask of others any ! thing 1t would not gladly have granted

rpnthusiastic Montsomerinns VIII Witt

 A large delegation of Montgomery football enthusiasts will leave on morning trains for, Auburn to witness the game between the A. P. l. and the Georgia School of Technology.
 Among those who will attend are W. W. Graves. M. M. Moore, George B. Tyson, A. C.. Hannon, 8. H. Rob- erts and J. B. Paterson.
 The game promises to be one of the fsrcest of the season. Both Auburn and Tech are undefeated nor has an opponent crossed the goal line of eith- CT team. Auburn. however. has down. ed the strong Clemson eleven and the fast Nashville team, while Tech has had only one important game. having defeated Tennessee by the narrow score of 2-0.
 Auburn rolled up 19 points on Nash vile, who played Tennessee to a stand still. So, if dope counts for anything Auburn should win.
 4s Tech. however, is coached by John W. Heisman and any team that Heis- man handles is a formidable opponent.
