PLANS SAFETY OF NEW YORK.
Gen. Murray Back From Big Joint
Maneuvers.

Gen. Murray, chief of artillery. has re-
turned from New York, where he was an
observer of the joint operations of the
regular coast artillerymen and the New
York State Militia in repelling the sham
naval attack upon the defenses of New
York Having planned these joint drills
with the special purpose of insuring the
existence of a sufficient force of trained
volunteer soldiers to make good the great
deficiency in numbers of the regular coast
artillery, Cen Murray is extremely graft
fed with the exhibition Of interest and en-
thusiasm shown by the New York national
guardsmen in the successful work of last
week.
He now projects an extension of the plans
for joint drills. based upon the fact. devel-
oped by the experience Of last week. that
the real weakness of New York's defenses
lies in the danger Of , an attack by land
force In the rear Of the Notifications.
Therefore II Is proposed to divide the ter
ritory lying behind the forts into sections.
each one covered by a force Of miitiamen.
Thus. in the case of Fort Wadsworth, the
zone in the rear, for a distance of about ten
miles, would be divided into one mile sec
lions, and to each section would be as
signed one company of guardsmen, whose
business it would be to make a study Of
the topography of the country Thorough
that the militiamen would know intuitively
and in the darkest night just where lay
evey ridge and depression and natural OBJ
stacle so that they could fight to the best
advantage in repelling an attack. AS this
sort of expert knowledge cannot be accu-
mulated in a few days. it is Gen. Murray's
plans to have certain organizations Of the
National Guard permanently assigned, year
by year, to the same defensive zones SO
that they may become thoroughly familiar
with it's strong points and weakness.

DON ANGELS MISSION HERE.
IS Honduran Representative and
Wants Recognition.

Senior Don Angel Ugarte, representing the
provisional government of Honduras, has
arrived In Washington and notified the
State Department that he desires to be rec
ognized the duly accredited diplomatic
representative from his country. While
the provisional government OF Honduras
was established by President Zelaya and
Gen. Davilla was designated as president
of the republic, it is understood that the
Nicaraguan government, through Minister
Corea, will oppose the recognition of Senior
Cgarte by the Washington government
The new diplomatic representative, it is
believed. will find many difficulties in Sc
curing a formal presentation to Secretary
Root. While Honduras Is supposed to be
an independent state, President Zeiaya Is
maintaining strong garrison there. and 1t
is believed here that the Nicaraguan presi-
dent intends to keep his troops in Honduras
until he can perfect his plan for the feder-
alton of all the Central American republics
Gen. Davilla was designated as president
with the understanding that he resign the
office and become governor of the state OF
Honduras when the federation plan was
completed. The action of Gen. Davila in
sending a minister to Washington is inter
preted here a declaration that he will
continue as President of Honduras and as
annulling his former agreement with Presi-
dent Zelaya.

HARRINGTON NO LORD
OTTAWA NAN EXPLAINS MIS-
TAKEN IDENTITY OF PRISONER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OTTAWA, Ont, June 1S.-The most sem
sational stories have been circulated to the
effect that a man under sentence of death
at Clayton, Mo. near St. Louis. was Lord
Edw:ird Seymour. one of the most eminent
peers of England.
This is not true and Percy Tressider of
Ottawa, the man credited with identifying
the Clayton prisoner as Lord Darlington.
has denied this. Tressider is anxious to
clear up any misconcept!on in the matter of
the identity of the man Seymour, held I'M
der sentence of death at Clayton, Mo- He
has written to his mother reiterating that
the man is not Lord Edward Seymour. He
states that he is the son of Lady Mary Bar
rington of Brighton, England, about whom
nothing is apparently known. His last let
terS says:
my Dear Notwithstanding to a tele-
gram received at Clayton the people of OF
tawa are under misunderstanding. They
think this Englishman Is Lord Seymour. but
he Is not-he is plain Frederick harrington
Seymour son of the late Lady Mary Bar
rington who married gentleman of the
name of Seymour. He was born in India,
but was brought up in Brighton, England.
He served as war correspondent in South
Africa.
Not the Valiant Soldier.
He is not the Lord Seymour who served
in the Strathcona Horse. His sister is La
dy Hastings of Brighton. but although she
knows all about it, her husband does not,
so we want to keep him from knowing all.
Please let the people of Ottawa know Of
the mistake they are under, for we do not
want him or any one else to be misrepre-
scented by any means. He did visit Ottawa,
but only for short time. l think it was
in 1902 1903, then he went to Washing
ton, D. c., where one of his sisters died He
Is perfect gentleman in every way Trust
ing that the mistake will be rectifed, l am.
ever, your loving son,
PERCY"
Lord harrington is not only not in any
way connected with the matter, but has for
months been In England. Darlington fought
most valiantly in South Africa, along with
Canadian troops. having his horse shot
under him and being wounded. He has been
in the Canadian northwest several times.
