the animal attacked him.
The dogs rush was so sudden that
Mattolla had no time TO draw his club
He whipped his revolver from his pocket

on the legs and swapping at his hands
the patrolman fired again and again. and
only at the fifth shot did the dog fall.
Patrolman Keith. who was a short dis
tance away. heard the shots and ran to
the cellar stairs. He found Mattolla
lying at the foot Of the stairs, bleeding
and unconscious, while the dog lay dead
at his side.

CUBA DEPORTS z EDITORS
Jose NJ. ViIIaVerde Seized and
Placed Aboard Steamer.
AMERICAN MAY BE NEXT
The Presidents Violent Action
Against Spaniards Unconsti-
tutional and Unprecedented.

Havana, Aug 20-JOse Maria Villa
verde managing editor Of the newspa-
per Cuba" and his nephew. Manuel
Villaverde. an editorial writer on the
Cuba" were seized to-day at the resi-
dence Of the former, placed on board a
steamer and deported TO Spain.
The Cuba" in its columns has been
assailing continuously the government
of President Gomez. To-day, acting
under a Presidential decree, a squad Of
police visited the residence Of Sefor
Villaverde and demanded admission.
This being refused, the police battered
down the door with axes and seized the
two Villaverdes. Without even giving
the men time TO make any preparations
the captors rushed both on board the
steamship Alfonso XIII. which sailed
this evening. bound for Spanish ports.
A Presidential decree issued this even
ing concerning the deportation denounces
the Villaverdes. who are Spaniards, as
pernicious foreigners actively hostile 10
the Cuban government, and hence sub
ject TO deportation.
The action OF President Gomez is un-
precedented. The Cuban constitution
does not invest the President with au-
thority 10 order any person deported.
The elder Villaverde was one Of the
most prominent Spaniards in Cuba. For
many years he was managing editor Of
the "Diario de Ia Marina"
The elder Villaverde proudly pro-
claimed himself a Spanish subject when
the minions Of the law laid hands upon
him, but his claim was not permitted 70
act as Il stay against his deportation
The younger Villaverde said he was a
citizen OF Cuba The Spanish Consul
said neither Of the Villaverdes was regis
tered at his Office as a Spanish subject
and apparently he has made no protest
against their being sent away.
II is rumored here Tonight that the
government Intends TO take similar ac-
ton against z. y. Slevin. editor Of the
American Weekly Telegraph" which is
a strong advocate Of American annexa-
ton

Fairfield. Conn, Aug. 20.-It is reported
here tonight that Miss Madeleine Fore
and Colonel John Jacob Astor will be
married in this place at the home of Mrs.

mother Mrs. William II. Force, is stay
ing.
The Astor yacht Noma left Newport
saturday, ostensibly on a fishing trip,
but it is understood that the Bridgeport
Yacht club has been notified that the
Yacht will anchor off the harbor Of that
city.
Mrs. Force arrived at Fairfield late on
Friday and went directly to the home of
Mrs. Glover Her departure from New
York was coincident with the sailing Of
the Noma-which, II is understood, is
provisioned for a long voyage-for New
port. Inquiries at the Glover home
bring the answer that there is nothing 70

Early tonight Mrs. Force and Miss
Katherine Force were in town in an
automobile, but all they would say was
that they were on their way TO Asbury

CROTON RIVER A DRY BED
Not a Drop of Water Has Gone
Over Spillway for Weeks.

Like the abandoned bed Of some pre-
historic stream appears the waterless
channel once known as Croton River
when viewed from the steel bridge that
spans the granite spillway Of the new
Croton dam. Not a drop Of water has
slipped over the hot. sunburned face Of
the spilway for weeks. In the bed Of
what was once the river grows the rank

That part Of CrotOn River below the
dam seems 10 be a thing Of the past.
Not one Of the sudden storms which

City and environs last week did a par
ticle Of good for the city's water supply.
The surface Of the lake was said yester-
day TO be some sixty feet below the high
water mark established several years
ago.
Folks who drive over the splendid
roads around Croton Lake are wonder
ing whether the people Of New York City
really comprehend the gravity Of the
water situation as indicated by the bare
ground back Of the massive granite wall.

Route for Vancouver.

! Niagara Falls. ont. Aug 20.-As Ad-
miral Count Togo. the Japanese naval
| hero, motored over the upper steel arch
bridge today gazing intently at the
misty cataract and the swirling river
below. he concluded his official tour Of
the United States. He entered Canada
unoficially, being received here only by
! General Nokomura, the japanese Con-
sui of Ottawa. After rest here to-
morrow the admiral will continue his
Journey TO Vancouver, from which point
he will re-enter the United States by
rail for a private visit TO Seattle, en-
barking there for Japan.
Before leaving American territory the
distinguished japanese who has been
the guest of the United States govern
ment for the last seventeen days, sent
the following message TO Washington:
His Excellency the Secretary of State:
on the eve Of my departure from the
United States l beg 70 thank you, and
through you the President, for the most
cordial and warm reception that the
government and the people have ac-
tOIutu ~ lie uuIllE my NlSlAs
Pray be assured Of my carrying home
with me a vivid impression Of the kind
and friendly feelings which have been
demonstrated to me by the nation whose
welfare and prosperity are my sincerest
wish. ADMIRAL COUNT TOGO.
The admiral and his party reached
Niagara Falls. n. Y. early to-day and
spent the morning in viewing the gorge.
In a private trolley car the Japanese
sea fighter rode around the falls. His
face hitherto so expressionless at the
sights he has seen. lighted up with in
terest as he saw the solid sheets Of
water glide over the precipice, the rising
white mist blending with the overhang-
ing clouds.
The admiral listened attentively as
the objects Of scenic interest were point
ed out along the route. He asked about
the depth Of the water. the power of the
falls and the effects OF the eternal ero-
sion. The admiral wondered just how
the falls froze in winter. and talked
much. asking more questions than on
any other occasion during his tour
often he asked that the car be stopped
for a better view. When he returned 10
his hotel he still was fascinated, and for
long time stood on the veranda watch
ing the flow of the Horseshoe falls.
Tonight the admiral gave dinner
to Captain Templin NJ. Potts, L. 5. N;
Chandler Hale. Third Assistant Secre-
tary Of State. and Lieutenant Arthur B.
Cook. L. 8. y, who have been his off
ciaI escorts while in the United States.
In bidding them farewell he expressed
in broken English his deep appreciation
Of their constant companionship Of the
last seventeen days.
Admiral Togo's programme to-mor-
row calls for complete rest prior to his
departure in the evening for the coast
via Toronto. His health is considerably
improved and his friends do not expect
he will suffer another breakdown.

! NEGOTIATIONS AT DEADLOCK
German Demands on France
Grow with British Home Trouble.

Paris. Aug 21.-Though there is no
foundation whatever for the absurd
rumor current in London last night that
Germany had declared war against
France, it is a fact that the Franco
German situation is most unsatisfactory.
No progress whatever has been made
in the negotiations and settlement is
began.
German claims for compensation offer
no basis for compromise. They extend
not merely 10 territorial concessions in
the hinterland Of the Cameroops, but
also to a recognition Of German indus
trial and commercial rights in South Mo-
rocco.
ANY disposition that the German For
eign Minister may have shown TO abate
, these excessive demands is believed 10
have been arrested by Englands dones-
tic troubles.
The Berlin view is that the recent cpl
demic Of strikes has caused a weaken
ing Of Great Britain as a factor in the
European balance Of power. This idea
is implied in many different quarters
and is openly expressed in the following
words Of the "Berliner Neuer Mach
gen:
ngland would not at the present
- Nent be able 10 oppose a more de-
cisve attitude TO Germany on the Mo-
