GUNNERE'S MISSION
Consul - General to Press
Claim Against Morocco.
THE DETAILS LEFT TO HIM
American Repreentatlve, "Whe
Boarded the Crafser New York at
Tangier, Says He Will Have a
.Settlement and Apologrr.
TANGIER. March 28. The United States
armored cruiser New York, "which Is to
convey United States Consul-General
Gunnere to Moxagan. In -connectlln with
the settlement of United States claims
against Morocco, arrived here today. Mr.
Gunnere says he intends to have a defi
nite settlement with the Sultan of Mo
rocco concerning' all American claims,
and will demand an apology for the dis
courtesy of the Moroccan Grand Vizier
and Minister of Foreign Affairs.
WASHINGTON, March 26. Upon being
advised by the Navy Department that
tho New York had arrived at Tangier, the
State Department immediately sent a
cablegram to Consul Gunnere directing
him to board the New York at once and
go forward on his special mission. Some
thing is left to Mr. Gunnere's discretion
as to the execution of the details and It
is for him to say whether he will be sat
isfied if the Sultan and court meet him
half way, at Maragah, or whether he will
proceed, according to the original pro
gramme, directly to Morocco City. It
probably will make no difference in prin
ciple, provided the necessary explanations
are afforded for the treatment our
Consul has received and provisions be
made for settling the claims. These are
not very large in the aggregate. Prob
ably J60.000 will cover them all, or less
than half the indemnity that was sum
marily collected by Germany a short
time ago on a precisely similar class
of claims. But it can be stated that If
the court does not appear at Mazagan
by the third week In April, then Consul
General Gunnere will go to Morocco City.

OLD WARSHIP HARTFORD.
Returns to NeYr York After an Ab
sence o 2G Years.
NEW YORK, March 26. After an ab
sence from these waters of 26 years, the
famous old warship Hartford Is again at
the Brooklyn Navy-Yard. It was In 1S75
that Admiral Farragut's old flagship was
last seen in this port. The Hartford was
laid up for years at the Mare Island
Navy-Yard, San Francisco, until it was
decided to remodel her and fit her out for
service as a training-ship. The vessel
is now on a training cruise, with a crew
of 4B0 men and boys, most of them appren
tices. She will remain at the Brooklyn
yard for a week, undergoing some repairs,
and then will resume her cruise.
The Hartford sailed from San Francisco
about a year ago. Her cruise extended
to Boston. She left that port In July of
last year on another cruise, going first
to England, then to Holland, Belgium,
France and Portugal. From European
ports she went to the West Indies. While
there she was ordered to Venezuela. Re
turning from Southern waters, she stopped
at Washington, and from there went to
Boston, coming to Brooklyn from the lat
ter port. When the Hartford leaves here
she will go on another European and West
Indian cruise, returning to Hampton
Roads on October 1.
While the historic ship Is at the Navy.
Yard a company of her bluejackets will
take part in the military tournament In
Madison-Square Garden.
Tribute to an English Consul.

some bronze tablet to be set up by the
Navy Department at Santiago, In mem
ory of the late Frederick Woolaston Rans
den, has just been finished at the Wash
ington Navy-Yard, and Is now ready for
shipment. As Consul-General of Great
Britain, Mr. Ransden rendered conspicu
ous aid to Hobson and his little band of
hei&es by way of alleviating their suf
ferings during Imprisonment. This work,
together with other deeds of unselfish
devotion, told on Ransden's health and
caused his early death. The tablet, which
is chaste and simple, was designed by
Robert G. Skerrett, of the Navy Depart
ment, and bears the following Inscription:
"Here lived during the Spanish-American
War, Frederick W. Ransden, Consul-General
of Great Britain. He died
at Jamaica, August 10, 1S9S. The NaiT
Department of the United States, In token
of his humanity to American Naval pris
oners, erects this tablet to his memory."
General Wood, to whom the tablet will
be shipped, will attend to the work of
having it fixed to the house, in the sub
urbs of Santiago, occupied by the la
mented Ransdon. A replica Is to be kept
at the Naval Academy in A"nnapol!s.
Nevr Army Ration Approved.
WASHINGTON, March 26. President
McKInley today approved the new Army
ration prepared under the direction of

rations. Instead of 15 pounds, as hereto
fore. The vinegar component, which was
6.25 gills, Is changed, by allowing half
of that amount In cucumber pickles when
desired. In the fruit component, 1 2-5
ounces of jam is allowed for the "field ra
tion, in place of 1 3-5 ounces of dried
fruit, which is the allowance for the
garrison ration. A change Is made In the
travel ration, by allowing the canned to
matoes to be served on the first day In
stead of the fourth, as heretofore.

WAR MAY LAST FOR YEARS
ALL NEGOTIATIONS OFF BETWEEN
TUB BOERS AND BRITISH.
Original Poller of Occupation Must
Again Be Resorted To Fresh
Troops Required.
LONDON, March 27. The Pretoria and
Bloemfonteln correspondents of the Times
send long dispatches admitting that Lord
Kitchener's policy and operations have
failed to achieve the results hoped for,
and pointing out that the British public
must be prepared to return to the origi
nal policy of occupying districts and stud
ding the country with military posts as
the only means of effecting complete pa
cification. This process, the correspond
ents say, will occupy much time and ne
cessitate a constant supply of fresh
troops. The strain on both officers and
men has been and will be immense, and
arrangements must be made to send ab
solutely fresh troops to the front. In order
to enable the others to be sent home.

vices to the Times, "there Is a possibility
of the war lasting years. It is quite use
less to renew peace negotiations. Nothing
approaching 'terms' as the word Is gen
erally understood will be politic, or even
possible, with the Boers."
As a result of the deficiencies revealed
by the South African campaign, Mr.
Broderlck, the "War Secretary, and Lord
Roberts are considering a scheme to re
organize the Intelligence department. It
Is proposed to Improve the status of the
director of military Intelligence, and bring
the duties of mobilization more directly
under his Influence. It is contemplated to
appoint Sir "William Gustavus Nicholson
to the post of director on the expiration
of the term of Sir John Ardagh, which
Is approaching. Sir "William Nicholson
was military secretary to Lord Roberts
in South Africa. He has also had great
experience In India.

TO STUDY THE SITUATION.
Rout and
Corbln May
Philippine.
Go to the
NEW YORK, March 23. A special to the
! Tribune from ashington says:
At this time there seems no doubt that
; Sfn.era! Corbln will make the trip to the
' Philippines, although Mr. Root's mind ls
, "ot 'et fully made up. nor can It be until
. he .knows the condition of the public
business affairs before he reaches San
Francfeco, and feels that there are not
likely to be any unusual demands on him
in the War Department to make the long
trip to the Philippines and return advis
able. The trip would keep Secretary Root
and General Corbln away from Washing
ton fully three months, and possibly
four. Leaving San Francisco the middle
of May on the fastest transport avail
able, they could not arrive in Manila, be
fore June 7 or S. It is their purpose to
stay at least a month in the Philippines,
so that thej could not start for home
before the first or second week In July,
which would land them In San Francisco
In August.
The principal object of the trip Is to
.Slve Secretary Root and General Corbln
an opportunity to study the military sit
uation in the Philippines at close range,
so that they will be better prepared to
deal with the problems of military man
agement and administration In the archi
pelago, as they may be developed In the
future by rapidly changing conditions.
The Adjutant-General keenly realizes
the necessity of an Intimate acquaintance
with the topography and other physical
features of the disturbed districts in the
archipelago, so that he will be prepared
to grasp quickly from the skeletonized
cable reports that reach his office re
garding the operations of the troops In
the field what the meaning of the maneu
ver Is, and approximately what result
has been attained by the rout or capture
of the marauding bands.
The Important matter of camp and gar
rison sanitation will be carefully looked
Into, as well, also, the rations best suit
ed to Americans suddenly transferred to
the tropics. The subject of supply and
transport will also be rigidly Investi
gated, with the view of securing the best
possible service at a minimum of cost.

JEFFRIES AND RUHLIN.
May Fight for the Championship in
San Frnnclsco.
NEW YORK, March 26. The Journal
and Advertiser says:
James J. Jeff ries and Gus Ruhlln have
about completed arrangements to fight
for the championship of the world In San
Francisco. In fact, they are practically
matched. They have been offered a date.
July 1, by J. J. Groom, manager and
matchmaker, of the National Sporting
Club of San Francisco. The only hitch
is on the question of the fighters' share
of the receipts. The club has offered the
men 60 per cent of the gross rceipts for a
20 or 25-round contest. "Billy" Madden,
manager of Ruhlln and acting for the
Akron man, has demanded 70 per cent of
the gross receipts and $500 for expenses
to San Francisco. The question of the
date has been left open to Jeffries, who
demanded this concession before he would
agree to make the match. On other mat
ters Jeffries has notified Madden that he
will agree to tho terms asked by Ruhlln.
Madden and Ruhlln have been negotiate
lng with Groom for three weeks past, and
have been In the city during that time.

urers of the Oxford and Cambridge ath
letic unions will confer Saturday and de
cide on the nature of the answer to the

terviewed this afternoon at their train
ing quarters expressed themselves as
keenly desirous of going to the United
States, though they were rather afraid of
the hot weather, and would prefer to have
the contest in September, Instead of July.
A. E. Hind, president of the Cambridge
team, said:
""We shall probably get drubbed by the
Americans, but all our men are anxious
to return the United States' compliment
in coming here by a return visit. While
Paget-Tomlinson and others of last year's
bests are Ineligible, still Garner, of Ox
ford, and Allcock, of Cambridge, promise
to be good hurdlers, and Worman. of
Cambridge, as a three-mller, and Cornish
and Shank will, I hope,' do ust credit as
quarter-mllers."

Illfcprlnp: the Shamrock.
GLASGOW, March 2G. The spars and
rigging of Shamrock II are now being
prepared for setting up. They include
several new ideas. One is the abolition
of the topmast and all topmast -fittings.
She will have a single malnspar, the larg
est ever fitted to any ship, measuring from
otep to truck 14S feet. This saves the
extra weight caused by the necessary
overlapping of the lower mast and top
mast, and the weight of the housing gear,
and giving also. It Is thought, a stronger
spar. The Shamrock II will be unable to
house her topmast In the event of racing
In a gale of wind, but this has happened
only once since the America's cup racing
began. James Ward, the managing part
ner of Messrs. Denny, the builders of the
cup challenger, informed a representative
of the Associated Press that he will cer
tainly have the Shamrock ready by the
date fixed for her launching, April 20. He
Is much struck by the Interest shown by
the workmen employed on her construc
tion, and considers the yacht's hull to be
the finest bit of shipbuilding ever turned
out from the yard.
