EXCITED AS A SCHOOLBOY Sir Tli0111 nn I.lpton Is Knthiixlnitlc Over the Condition nnd 1'roi- pcctN of Vuelit Shamrock. LONDON , Aug. 23. Sir Thomas Llpton , In an Interview with a reporter of the As sociated Press today , said : "I am just as excited as a schoolboy as the rnce draws near. I have read the re marks of American yachting experts , many of whom have seen Shamrock through their telescopes. But , while these good people know all about vaehts , they have no data upon which to base opinions , except patriotic wishes. Any man knows Shamrock has done nothing yet beyond wear down Britannia on time allowance , and pretty easily. So , to whittle Shamrock's chances down to the luck of heavy weather , Is beside the mark , for , In my opinion , Fife has designed an all- around yacht. There Is nothing absurd In the secrecv 'maintained. Wo have reasons for It. "It Is aulte true I asked the nrlnce of Wales to wltnes stho races. No one would bo happier than ho to accept the Invitations , but his engagements , prevented. We may yet have distinguished .guests. ! am not at liberty to mentlon thelr names.1' * "i " ' Continuing , Sir Thomas L-lpton expressed great satisfaction with Shamrock's crew. He said : "Even now ev > ry man knows his station and his duty. With two skilled captains we shall cot 'the ' highest yachtsmanshlp. The Americans know my feeltncs. Wo want to win and If we do I believe they will shout as loud ns If Columbia wn , for our op ponents are sportsmen. If Shamrock Is suc cessful no doubt the Americans will rise to the occasion and next year make us exert our very best efforts to retain the cup. " Panic In Southern Ilnnnln. ST. PETERSBURG , Aug. 23.

WASHINGTON , AUK. 23. The State do parisnent bns been Informed through diplomatic channel that General Otis ha applied the Chinese exclusion laws to th Philippines. The Information was n &ur prise to the authorities here , both state ani military , as the matter has boon under con eldertitlon for som6 lime , and It was no known that Qcncrnl Otis had put the ox elusion laws Into force. The first Intimation In that direction cam < In a dlsoatch received a few days ago froii the Chinese consul at Manila tolling th Chinese legation hero that the cxclusloi laws against the Chinese had been appllei to the Philippines. The dispatch wn brought to the attention of thn State department partment and Inaulry made as to how tin action was bronchi about , na the Chlncsi government has been solicitous since Aincrl can military control waa established In thi Philippines that the United States exclusloi laws should not bo extended over tbo Islands The State department knew nothing of sucl an extension and made Inaulry of the Wai department. The military authorities , however - ever , were equally without Information as to General Otis' action Jn this partclulur. Accordingly the Chinese officials were advised - vised that any action 'taken ' by General Otlf In applying the exclusion laws to the Philip pines was not the result of Instructions sent from here , but was doubtless due tc the exurolse of his authority as govornoi general of the Philippines. What furthei step the Chinese authorities will take has not been determined , ns Minister Wu Tins Fang Is out of the city for a few days There Is Httio doubt , however , that ho will seek to have General Otis' order held In abeyance until the authorities here pass upon the cencral question which has beer under consideration between the two goV' crumcnts. Optioned to Chlncne. In this connection the State dopartmenl has received an Important letter from Mr Williams , our former consul at Manila , whe still remains there In a confidential capacity He says the native Filipinos tire stronglj opposed to Chinese labor , and In his oplnlor the exclusion of the Chinese from the Islands will materially nld In bringing the war to a close. He places the Chinese popu lation at 62,000 , which Is considerably more than other estimates from official sources The lett.r Is dated July 26 and brings the situation up to recent date. It has beer turned over to the War department to be used In the general consideration of the exclusion question. The Chinese government has shown more anxiety as to the course of this govern ment toward itho Chinese .in . the Philippine ; Jian toward those In Cuba or other parts ol the world , mainly because the Philippines are so near China and largo numbers ol Chinese are already established there. Thej carry on the bulk of the retail trade , have an extensive quarter In 'Manila ' , and send oul many salesmen carrying packs to the remote Interior of the Islands. Some of the re ports , dncludlng those of Admiral Dewey , have paid a tribute to the work performed by the Chinese , and Naval Constructor Hobson - son has recently reported to the Navy de partment on the value of Chinese labor In naval and commercial pursuits In the fat ' ' east' . This has led the Chinese officials here to believe that the exclusion law would not be nppHed to the Philippines , and they are still hopeful that General Otis' action will bo a temporary move Incident to military occupa tion , and not part of the permanent policy of this government toward the Islands. The only action taken hero as to the Chinese exclusion laws has been in ruling that they were not a part of the Immigra tion laws and did not apply to Cuba and Porto nico. METHODS or HSCAIMXG FHOSTS. Agricultural Dciinrtmeni IHHIIPH llul- lotln on I'rolrutlnu of Cronx. WASHINGTON , Aug. 23. As a means of furnishing in popular form the necessary Information In regard to methods of pro tecting crops from frost the United States Department of Agriculture has bad prepared and will Issue farmers' bulletin , No. 14 , en titled "Notes on Krost. " This bulletin was prepared by K. n. Gar- rlott , professor of meteorology , and defines frost and the conditions which favors Its formation and states the methods of protec tion which have been found practicable by actual experiments. The bulletin says that experiments and observation seem to estab lish the following facts : The danger of damage from frost can be materially lessened by placing early and tender plantu on high grounds or crests and hardier plants In low grounds and hollows. When ground can be selected In the lee , or to the south and east of considerable bodies of water the danger will be further les sened. MniK < > f Porto Illt'o IniUTiirnte. WASHINGTON , Aug. 23. The recent ofllclal surveys along the southern coast of Porto nice show that the coast line Is much more In error than has been suppceed by scientists. Information now at hand dis closes the fact that from Ponce to the cast- ward , charted aa fifty cnlle , the distance Is but forty-throe mllea , necef ltatlng a con traction of the shore line on maps and charts to the extent of seven miles for that stretch alone. If that proportion of error Is found to hold good for the whole Island , Its actual area will bo very greatly circumscribed by the result of the surveys.
