WHAT ARE .THEY AFTER?
British Engineers Landed at San

Measurements and Sketckes.
Associated Press.
t
Washington. May 1. From the Brit
ish atinidpolrrt, the acceptance of' the
compromise and immediate evaouatiun
of Corlrrto. establishes the good faith
of Great Britain In her dedairatlon tliat
there was no purpose of occupying
the territory. From the flnrt the Brit
ish authorities have assured Ambassa
dor Bayard, and the latter lias so ad
viised Secretory Gresham, that there
was no Tjunxwe of aflrgressCon. or of
seourlnsr a foothold Hn Nicaragua, The
only punpose, the Earl of Klmberly
has said, was to collect iroe aeoi Dy
such force as Was necessary and then
depart Nloanagua, nocwirhsbanding
these asaurt&ncee, has maintained that
Hhe collection of the mid J 7.5W was
merely a covert means of occupying
her territory. This view has prev 1 e t
very widely tiere, even in some official'
quarters, although the pollv ot Mj
government has been to accept In good
faith, Great Britain's representations.
Washington. May 1. Officials express
fear tihat there may be a hitch in the
Nioaraguan eertClemenrL It Is eald the
possibility of an entire failure of the
agreement foaa not been passed. This
view, based upon the' slrn1flcart fact
that no confirmation of Great Britain's
acceptance of the terms has been re.
celved at the the stole department, the
Britten embassy, or ttie Nioaraguan
legation.
NICARAGUA. OANAL.
British Officers Investigating-The
Present Trouble to Get Control. .
Managua, Nicaragua, May 1. Offi
cers belonging to 'the Bri'tteh fleet
were ashore yesterday at San Juan
del Sur, a small port near which the
Pacific entrance to the Nicaragua can
naris to be built. It was noticed they
were maktntr measurements and topo
graphlo skuMhea of land and they
were apparently makJng o reservations
along the route to be followed by the
canal from the Pacific to L.aKe Nica
ragua. The officers also made sketches
and took notes about Brito, and al-
frhouRih ordered to desist by the Nioa
raguan governor there, they continued
their work and refused ito return on
board the ships. .
KANSAS CYCLONE.
Seven People Killed and Many In
jured.
Wichita. Ktoun.. May 1. 'A special to
the Kagle says a fatal cyclone passed
near Halstead, thirty miles north of
here, at 5 o clock this evening, and
several were killed.
The cyclone devastated a rtrlp of
country several hundred yards wide
and at least 16 miles in length, killing
seven persons outright and seriously
Injuring several others, while many
have receivd aldgiht Injuries. It first
struok the house of Mrs. Fry, a widow
who lives nine miles south of Halsted,
completely destroying tt, but wiry
sllgihcly Injuring Mrs. Frv. . It next
ploked up the house of John Shultz
ana scattereo: it m every direction.
The fine two-tory house of Joseph
Wler was entirely nwnpt away, kl'llng
Mrs. Wler, Grace Weir, aged 11. Her
man Weir, aged 6, and the five-weeks-old
baby. Mr. Weir left Uie- house,
and when the cyclone struck was about
60 yards away and olung to a tree. He
received Injuries which may prove fa
tal. .Joseph Weir, Jr., and slater,
Maud, were the only ones in the fam
ily who took to the cellar, escaping
wiun bickiii uruiwH. i ne nexr nouse in
the paltih of the storm was that of
James Armstrong, which was com.
pletely wiped from the earth, and Mr.
Armstrong was killed. Mrs. Armstrong
was probably fatally Injured, and
Grandma Chaping, who was there sick
In tied, was killed.
About 100 yards from this house, a
large two-story residence of B. B. Friz
zel was picked up, as was also the
large two-story house of J. R. Frizzel
across 'the road, and botfh, together
with aiH outjbudkilnsB, were completely
swept away. Tihe families of both
Frlzzels escaped Injury.
Dead horses, cattle and hogs and
chickens are scattered all over the
wheat fleWs. The loss will probably
fall not less than (200,000, besides sev
en deaths and the Injured, two or three
of whom will protolLfly die.
A NAVAL DISAGREEMENT.
It Will Have to Be Settled by Secre
tary Herbert.
Washington ,May 1. For the flrst
time In ftts history, the board of naval
bureau chiefs have come to actual
disagreement and so reported to Sec
retary Herbert, leaving him to deter
mine which side Is right. The dis
agreement grows out of the construc
tion of six new gunboats for which
plans were prepared. There are two
reports on the subjej, one signed by
four of tihe board, totally disapproving
of the plans, and one signed by two
membirs, vigorously upholding the
plans. The majority hold that the fit
ting of vessels with complete sail pow
er Is a mistake, as the experience of
the department with such vessels as
the Adams, shows that no steamer
fitted with sails can beat against ths
wind, and therefore sails would be al
most useless on the average condition.
The supporters of the plans say that
the vessels would be efficient, and
murih mors economical than boats
without sails.

HAMMOND ANXIOUS TO BUILD.
But Will Not Commence Until the
Right-of-wjiy Is.Furnlshed
Complete.'" .
Dr. Alfred Kinney, the tnergetlo and
pushing chairman of the subsidy com
mittee, ' -Captain Ji. B. Parker, and
Banker D." K. -Warren yesterday very
handsomely entertained Messrs. A. B.
Hammond and M. J. Connell, the Mon
tana capitalists, and Messrs. L. B.
3eeley, J. M. Tunney, W. A. Tompkins,
B. fieeley, and a 'representative ot the
Aatorlan. At 8:30 the gentlemen con'
ducted their guests to the steamer
Queen, and the entire party were given
a sail down the bay to itihe pier ot the
South Coast road, where the train
was taken for Seaside, which was
reaahed about 10:30. The threatening
olouds had cleared away '.n the mean
time and the strangers were given a'
glimpse the Pacdflo. Every one was
delighted with the early spring dress
of the woods, and aU took a walk on
the beach to 'the HoUaday estate and
back to fieasldie, where the train was
again boarded and tihe return trip
commenced. At Gearhart Park the
party walked through the heavy tim
ber to the ihoteland. after Dr. Kinney
passed his "gate" and struck the rapid
"gait" 'of the party, 'Veals" of Jokes
were bandied 'back and forth. The
beautiful surroundings of Gearhart
were fully appreciated, and the trip
resumed.
About 1 o'clock a, stop was made at
Warranton, where the tired excur
sionists were royally entertained at
Banker Warren's beautiful home. , Mrs.
Warren and her charming daughter
presided over a dedicate luncheon moat
daintily served to tin-fhungry men,
and the refreshed, -sightseers'" again
booirdsd their steamer and proceeded to
S. Elmore's moled cannery, where all
the new methods in salmon packing
were eioptained to the visitors. - Tne
QueJii -then proceeded to : the Jetty
and her party of excursionists were
received by Engineer Hegardt, who,
wM hst'Usuat courtesy, explained the
great work and took the entire party
to the end of- the Jetty a trip on a
railroad train on the ocean, on cars
provided with life preservers a novel
method of travel to the strangers.
Leaving the Jetty the party steamed
up to J. O. Hanithorn's cannery, where
that' gentleman showed them through
Ms complete plant. Returning to the
o'ty, a climb was made to the band
stand on the hill at tihe head of 11th
street, where many of the leadLng citi
zens pointed out the points ot interest
In and around Astoria.
A dinner at the Occident closed the
most enjoyable day.
The object of the trip was to show
to the strangers in the party the sit
uation of 'Astoria, Its surroundings,
and future possibilities. They went
away fully satisfied that If the rail
road is built It will pay to invest large
sums of money here in all kinds Of
enteaip.rises.
The committee of twenty-one seem
to be working In entire harmony, under
the leadership, of Chairman Kinney.
Tuesday evening the strangers were
entertained at the Irving Club, where
Banker Gordon and Mr. Trulllnger
had a long tailk wltlh Mir. Connell, In
regard to Astoria's finances. Many
oannery'men and other business men
were present, and others would have
been there had not this, visit been un
expected. Montana men come and go
quickly, tut they take dn the situation.
Among the cither millionaires wno
are likely to become Interested In
Astoria's business enterprises, Is Mr.
W. A. Clark, of Butte, Mont., another
friend of Meters. 'Hammond and Con
nell, the purchaser of the Ansonla,
Conn., Brass Works, for -vhtch he pafd
$1,000,000. These figures may look large
to us, but these are strong men of af
fairs, and Mr; Clark alone, who also
owns rich mines In Montana, is said
to .have an Income of $500,000 net per
annum.
Before leaving for Portland, Mr.
Hammond atatek) that he was some
