'THE ALABAMA A TERROR. Samuel H. Cramp Says the New Battle Ship Will Prove One. New York, Nov. 18. --Sa1nuel H. Cramp, the Philadelphia. ship builder, Is at the Waldorf. To a reporter he said: “Boat building is at present rather quiet. We are finishing contracts that were awarded some time ago for a cruiser for the Japanese navy, and for the big battle ship Alabama, for the 'United States fleet. The Alabama will be in many respects the greatest war ship we have constructed. She will be a terror when in action. She repre- sents quite a number of improvements In naval architecture. Her engines are superbly modeled, and we expect they will develop tremendous power. Mr. Cramp said that he did not think there was much room for improvement in the construction of ship machinery. “Do you think there is imperative need of more vessels for the navy to maintain the confidenCe of the public during the frequent war scares. ‘7” asked the reporter. “No. I think it would be wiser, and less expensive, to wait until war is de- clared, and then seize the enemy’s ships. We could do it, too. The ves- sels of our navy have sufficient speed and power to make this possible in case it was, necessary. While there Certainly is a need of a greater number of ships to constantly represent the maritime interests of this country, yet I see no reason why so much fear should be prevalent whenever there is the slightest hint’of War trouble. The United States Navy is greatly under- estimated.” ' MRS. NACK IDENTIFIES THE SAW. Says It \Vus Used in the Dismember- ment of Guldensuppe’s Body. New York, Nov. 18.—Mrs. Augusta Nack was taken from her cell in the Queens County Jail to the District At— torney’s office yesterday afternoon. Af- ter remaining in the District Attor- ney’ 5 office a short time in private con— Sultation with her counsel, Emanuel Friend, she was escorted into the Grand Jury room. Surrogate A. N. Weller, who is helping the prosecution, Was present at this juncture. The saw which was used in the cut- ting up of the body of William Gulden- .suppe, the Turkish bath rubber, afte1 he had been murdered in the Woodside Cottage, was unfolded from a news- paper and shown Mrs. Nack. The Woman, Who admits that she lured Guldensuppe to the cottage to meet his death positively identified it as the saw used by Thorn in dismembe1ing Guldensuppe’ s body. The saw, as told in these dispatches, was found in the meadows between College Point and Flushing. It was found within one hundred feet from Where Mrs. Nack said that Thorn had buried it after the murder. The saw used by the murderers of the bath rub- ber isabout eighteen inches in length and has fine teeth. It is of fine make, and after being used in the butchery was apparently well cleaned, as it is said that the District Attorney has not been able to discover the slightest trace of blood or human flesh on the blade. . JERSEY GAMBLERS LOSE. Unable to Secure a Recount of Vote. on Anti-Gambling Amendment. . Trenton, N. J., Nov. 18.—Justices Van Syckel, Dixon and Collins, of the Eu- preme Court, yesterday denied t;-e ap— plication for a recount of the votes on the anti—gambling amendment to the State Constitution. The opinion was written by Justice Van Syckcl, and represents the unanimous sentiment of .the court. In the opinion no view is expressed as to the power of the court to order a recount. It is held, however, that the matter of having a. recount is not a matter of private or individual concern, but is one of public policy and concerns only the government. This leads to the conclusion that the applicants have no standing in court.- The opinion goes on to say that, the matter being one of public policy, the Legislature ,had a right to say how the vote should be canvassed, and a proc- lamation of the result made by the Governor, and the canvass having been issued in accordance with the re- sult of the canvass, the matter is now closed.

Then he sent an ultimatum to the Chinese commander calling upon him to evacuate the forts in three hours, after which he landed 600 men, with six guns, who marched toward the ferts.

Washington, Nov. 18.—United States Consul Hugh Long, in Nogales, Mexico, has furnished to the State Department particulars of the supposed murder of a party of Americans, headed by Capt. Porter, by the Seris Indians on Tiburon Island, in the Gulf of California. According to the statement made to the Mexican customs officialsby Mar- tin Mendez, master of the sloop Otila, Capt. Porter sailed from San Diego, 0211., with his companions in a small boat to collect shells. They left Guay- mas on Aug. 2, under permission f‘om the Mexican Government to explore the islands of the gulf. The Consul says Tiburon is peopled by a tribe of Indians noted for their large size and extraordinary athletics. Those who have witnessed their aquat- ic sports declare that many of them can walk, or rather run, upon the water, with no other assistance than broad rawhide shoes. They destroy all children that are malformed or ap- pear to be lacking in intelligence. In this way the standard of physical and mental condition a in both' sexes is kept ‘."e1y high. The nucleus of this race was f01 med fiom captives made at various times. The natives guard their shores day and night, and no One is allOwed to pene- trate the island. No man or woman is allowed to live more than seventy years, no matter how well preserved in body and mind. Many of the women have a transparent, peachy complexion and deep auburn h‘air. ' WAR ON THE MARINE BAND. Labor Unions Protest Against Coin- petition “'1“: Union Musicians. - Washington, Nov. 18.—A merry war is on between the Musical Union of Washington and the United States Ma- rine Band, because the members of the band are permitted to play in theatres, entertainments and in street parades. The Navy Department has been drawn into the controversy, and is being del- uged with petitions from labor organi- zations over the country protesting against the competition of Government bands with union musicians. Secretary Long is considering the matter, and it is said that President McKinley has given some attention to it. The ibandsmen enlist in the Marine Corps, and are rated as musicians. They get about thirty-five dollars a month. The leader, also an enlisted man, gets 3720. According to the mem- bers of the band, they would be unable to support themselves and their fami— lies if they were not permitted to add to their incomes by playing at private functions. They also say that the band could not secure men if the restrictions asked by the musical unions are granted. Politics will probably play a part in the settlement of the dispute, as the unions are bringing the influence of labor organizations to bear on Senai tors and Representatives.
