Jjess Povrer Required to Drive New
Vessels One battle-Skip and Six
Toreo-Boats Added to Navy
in Past Year.
"WASHINGTON; Oct- ft2.-"Fxogress
upon new vessels under construction
during the past year has not been sat
isfactory." says Rear-Admlral Bowles,
Chief of the Naval Bureau of Construc
tion, In his annual repprt to the Secre
tary of the Navy. All the larger ves
sels, he says, have been delayed bv non
delivery of structural steel, while the
vessels building at San Francisco were
6et back by the 10 months' strike, and
tho hold out of the workmen at Seattle
prevented any actual progress on the
structure of the hull of the battleship Ne
braska building there. The delay in the
deliveries of armor for the battleships
Maine, Missouri and Ohio and the mon-i
itors Arkansas, Florida, Nevada and
"Wyoming has retarded tho
these vessels, concurrently with other
causes. The Inability of shipbuilders to
uuiuin a sumcient lorce of skilled work
ers also has been in many cases an im
portant factor in the slow nrosrress.
The battleshlD Ohio Is shown tn hnvo
been 29 months behind her contract on
xne nrst of July, The battleship Mis
soar! is over 20 months behind. Th mn.
Jority of the battleships and cruisers are
over 10 months behind, and some of tho
torpedo craft are mo're than 40 months
behind the date of completion stipulated
in their contracts. However, Admiral
Bowles says that the extensive delays on
the torpedo-boats are being terminated
by the newly-modified conditions for their
oeuvery.
The contractors delay In bejrfnnine con
structlori of the Virginia, Pennsylvania
and St Louis, the Chief Constructor
vuiuui oui, gave nis Dureau an opportu
nlty to make a careful revision of the
general plans of those war vessels, which,
be says, will result In a considerable
improvement In their military value arid
la their habltabillty. The plans for the
turrets for the Virginia class were de
veloped In more detail. An entire re
arrangement of Hhe scheme for the stow
age of ammunition was made and par
ticular attention was given to an effl
clent scheme for coallne.
The ships added to the nivy during the
past year are the battleship Illinois and
the torpedo craft Decatur, Perry, Preble,
BIddle. Thornton and "Wilkes.
Substantial and encouraging progress
is reported in the standardization of ship
fittings, a scheme to secure uniformity In
the innumerable types of ship's parts,
which has long been fostered by the Con
struction Bureau.
More Officers Needed.
Admiral Bowles says there continues
to be an urgent necessity for an Increase
in the number of officers of the Con
struction Corps. The principal navy
yards. It Is stated, have an insufficient
number of officers for the performance of
regular duties. He renews "his recom
mendation for an Increase of this corps
from 40 to GO members. The report says
the advantages of special Instruction In
naval architecture and marlne engineer
ing In the United States became mere
evident last year.
The Bureau of Construction is now
enabled, by co-operation with the fac
ulty or the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, to regulate the technical
education .appropriately and to offer the
students and their Instructors constant
opportunities for observation of the
building and repair of all classes of ves
sels, both at private shipyards and at
the navyyards of the Government.
Admiral Bowles points out that the
policy of Congress for some years past
has been against the construction of
new vessels in the navyyards. and as a
result the development and Improvement
of the yards in matters such as quay
falls, slips, location of buildings, etc.,
bave not been generally directed toward
efficient arrangements for shipbuilding.
The Admiral Is of the opinion that It
should be the policy of the Navy Depart
ment so to arrange the navyyard plants
that they will be efficient for .shipbuilding,
which is, in reality, he says, one of the
most important functions they may be
required to perform.
Experimental Model Basin.
An Interesting portion of the report Is
that in regard to the work of the ex
perimental model basin, in which min
iature warships are tried, and It Is stated
that the basin has proved of great value
to the Construction Bureau. A number
of experiments have been made in the
basin during the past year to determine
the most desirable forms of the new bat
tleshlps and armored cruisers. It Is
wholly to tho basin facilities that the
bureau has been enabled to arrive at the
very satisfactory results that the new
armored cruisers of tho Tennessee class,
iteplaclng 14,500 tons, may be expected
to make a speed of 22 knots with power
actually somewhat less than the preced
ing lot of armored crulBers of the Penn
sylvania class of the same speed, which
displaces 13.6S0 tons. Similarly, the two
new lG,000-ton battleships of the Con
necticut class will drive appreciably
-easier at 18 knots than the preceding
battleships of 14,948 tons. Thus an in
crease of 7 per cent In size in the case
of the battleships and of over 6 per cent
in size of the armored cruisers has been
accomplished with an actual reduction of
horse-power necessary to drive them at
a given speed In each case. The ship
builders of the country have continued to
avail themselves of the facilities of the
model basin in connection with their
commerdlal work. During the fiscal year
experiments were made for private ship
builders at their expense, with five mod
els, and experiments are under way now,
or authorized, Tvith four models for four
private concerns.

PIUS FUND CASE.
Judge Penfleld Speaks of It and of
the Court.
PARIS, Oct 12. Judge William D. Pen
Held, of the United States State Depart
ment Arcbblshoo Riordnn. of
Cisco, and others who were prominent at
The Hague during the recent sessions of
tne international Court of Arbitration,
which heard the arguments in the Pius
FunLcase between the United States and
Mexico, has arrived here. Judge Penfleld
says the court s decision in the matter
may be rendered during the coming week
ana mat in all events it will be- given
within the present month. Tp a repre
sentative of the Associated Pross Juries
Penfleld gave an onlnion of thi sfnhla nt
the Plus Fund case and made certain ob-,
servaaons upon the general Influence
-vymcn j.ne liague tribunal is. exerting in
behalf of America. He said:
"Although the decision of the court is
doubtful I feel confident of a favorable
result. The court practically narrowed
the issue to a question of res Judicata, and
inquiries made by members of the court
Indicated a tendencr favorable to
biuun on tms issue. If this assumption
proves correct, it Is then only a question
of figures to ascertain the amount due,
and which is something over a million
uunare.
"The COUrt COm.'ients nnnn thnWlinr.
oughnesa of the American presentation of
the case. Tho United States furnished
practically the entire evidence, transcripts,
etc. Mexico furnished practically noth
ing, not even copies of the Mexican
nremves in her exclusive control, and
which were required under the protocol.
As a result of these facts, the American
recora was all the court had and Mexico
relied upon a generalized argument"
Commenting upon the broad intecnatlon-
ai aspects of The Hague organization,
Judge Penfleld said:
The Hague tribunal is accomplishing
Important results for America. Arbitration
Is not taken as seriously in Europe as It
is in me unitca estates. We observed an
undercurrent of cynicism respecting arbi
tration which Is regarded as sentimental
and ideal. The American idea of treating
International trbitration seriously is be
ginning to exert its influence so it prom
ises to overcome European prejudice and
to lead to a general acceptance of the
principal. Another important influence of
The Hague tribunal Is that it is acquaint
ing Euiope with real Americanism, in
Europe they hardly understand our Idea
of the equality of man; the Individual
counts for little there. ThST International
Arbitration Court gives us our first op
portunity of presenting to the bid World
our exalted ideals concerning the rights
of the people and that the function of
government is the protection of th indi
vidual. The Hajrue tribunal !s time n re

fluence, consequently, the Premier said,
his Government was watching events
keenly and was anxious that the reforms
in Macedonia gained by the Berlin Con
gress should be carried out
"But," M. Daneff said, "apart from that
Bulgaria's duty is simply to guard her
frontiers, and it Is her wish that Turkey
should keep order in Macedonia."
When asked what would happen should
Turkey determine on the representation
of the Macedonian committee In Bulgaria,
M. Daneff answered evasively:
"Bulgaria will always fulfill her duty.
both externally and internally, without
allowing herself to be intimidated either
by elements within her borders or by
threats from without"

COLON, Colombia, .Oct. 12, Persons
who arrived here from Cartasrena yester
day say that forces of the government
have defeated the revolutionists at La
Cienaga. There is no further news of the
situation at Santa Marta.

has driven the revolutionary General
Uribe-Urlbe from the strategic position
he held near Tenerlffe, on the Magdaleni
River. General Uribe-Uribe Is said to
have been compelled to retreat with all
his forces toward the interior of tho

Uribe-Urlbe Was Forced to Flee to
the Mountains.
PANAMA, Oct 12.-General C6rdovez,
of the government forces, arrived here
from Bogota by way of Barranquilla. He
came through with troops, and gives the
following account of the conditions on
the Magdalena River:
"We left Bogota September 24 and ar
rived at Honda the 27th, and met there
tho forces under General Perlomd. Wo
advanced by land to Managua, where we
were Informed that the revolutionary
General Uribe-Urlbe, with 500 men and
two cannon, was strongly Intrenched at
Tenerlffe, and that he was preventing
steamboats from traveling up or down
the river. When we reached San Juan
however, we received Information of Gen
eral Urlbe-Urlbe's flight toward the moun
tains. He is accompanied by a rebel
named Munoc, whom I consider more of
a highwayman than anything else. He
Is the same man whoTrecently robbed an
American citizen named Pontier, who
was on his way up to Bogota. We ar
rived at Barranquilla October 2. General
Marrares has defeated the rebel forces
under Castillo at La Cienaga. Castillo
also fled to the mountains, where the
scarceness of food will probably compel
him to surrender.
"General . Fernandez, Minister of War,
asked each department of Colombia to
contribute 2000 men for '.the purpose of
pacifying the isthmus. A number of these
troops are already at Barranquilla, under
General Perlomo. The Interior of the re
nubile Is entirely pacified."

lines for two weeks, was settled tonight
at 6 o'clock by the union agreeing almost
unanimously with the Governor's ulti
matum. Negotiations which began last
nignt contmuea until this morning, when
the executive board decided to submit the
matter to a general meeting of the men
mis arternoon. The general basis of the
agreement is that the men will go back

10 hours, with a minimum of seven hours
a day; no discrimination to bo made
against any of the men under charges,
and as many to be taken back as are

The hitch this morning was on the taking
back of the men under charges, but the
railway company Anally conceded this, al
lowing tne courts to decide the guilt of
tne men.
The credit for the settlement la larsralv

COAL FROM GERMANY.
Was Exported to That Country Now
to Be Brought Back.
PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 12 The Brauerm
Steamship Company, operating between
Philadelphia and New York and Hamburg,
Is reported to have purchased for Impor
tation to this country 20,000 tons of an
thracite coal from Germany, and 15.000
tons from Southern Russia. The latter
Is to be shipped from Southern Russia
during October and November.
The hulk of the coal that will come from
Germany will be reimportation of Penn

THE FRENCH COAL STRIKE.'
An Innocent Man Killed Want Bet
ter Priy.
PARIS, Oct 12. It now aDDears that
only one man was killed during the en
counter at the Terre Noire coal field,
October 10, between strikers and gend
armes, and that the victim was not con
nected with the strike. Nevertheless the
miners' committee has issued a mani
festo denouncing the killing of this man
as murder and attacking the government
for utilising gendarmes and soldiers
against the strikers.
The funeral of the Terro Noire victim.
which will occur tomorrow, may lead to
trouoie, as the strikers Intend to- demon-
atrate at the funeral, and as the socialists
dacjara they will carry red flags, which
is prohibited; The principal, "feature in the
strike situation today is the division which
is forming In the ranks at the strikers.
Those of the Pas de Calais district and
the Department du Nord, who are.-the
most numerous, decline to mix the ques
tions of an eight-hour day and old-age
pensions into the strike, as the central
committee of the. Federation of Miners
decided to do, and declare' that they are
striking purely for an Increase in wages.
The local committees of the miners In
these districts have asked the prefects
to intervene with the mine owners with
a view of securing a settlement
Tho central committee, through an Is-,
sued manifesto, calls the Pas de Calais
and Nord committees to obedience. The"
divergence Is likely to influence the dur
ation of the strike.
May Involve All Harriman Lines.
OMAHA Oct. 12. Thomas F. Wilson,
fourth vice-president of the International
Association of Machinists, today stated
that the strike of shoDmen now belnc
conducted by him against the Union Pa-
cinc Railroad may be carried to all of
tho Harriman lines. He said such a re
sult depended largely on the action of
tho annual meeting of the Union Pacific,
which will be held in Salt Lake City on
October 14. An indorsement by that meet
ing of the strike and the piece-work sys
tem, said he, will be considered sufficient
cause for carrying the strike to other
Harriman lines. .

Hyde Park, in London, is one of the
most famous parks In the world. Every
traveler goes there; but there is one part
of It that scarcely any tourist knows
about or goes to see. This Is the dogs'
cemetery, which is over ,by the Victoria
Gate, and is a spot full of Interest. For
nearly a year no new grave has been dug
there. The ground is all occupied. But
every now and then a grave is opened to
receive another body A great many dogs
are burled there, including one that be
longed to the Duke of Cambridge and
Pllku, who belonged to an uncle of the
King of Sweden. The stone over this
animal's grave Is conspicuously surmount
ed by a Swedish coronet and cross. A
boarhound and a St. Bernard rest In this
L garden, but little lapdogs constitute the
majority ot tne aeaa. a iew cats nna
graves here, besides a dozen parrots, live
monkeys, several canaries, a goldfinch
and a white mouse. It Is no uncommon
occurrence for the grave of a dog to be
opened to receive a canary. With one
exception, the stones record the" death of
dogs. The exception Is thus Inscribed: "A
tribute of respect to two white cats, Bebe
and Sam, his nephew." ,
In this garden rest the remains of the
canine pets of several distinguished act

London Easler on Improved Tone of

LONDON. Oct. 12. The rates of dis
count which responded only feebly when
tho Bank of England rate was advanced
has since steadily fallen off to 3 per cent
for three months' bills. The weakness
aDDears to be due to lessening apprehen
slon of unfavorable developments In New
York and the accumulation of funds In
the hands of bankers and brokers. The
market, which supplied itself liberally
from the Bank of England, just before
the advance of the official minimum, has
still plenty of money at Its disposal. In
the meantime the Bank is not in a posi
tion to control market rates, and borrow
ers are getting what short loans they
require at 24 per cent, or less than the
rates paid for money on deposit
The Investors Review deplores the
fact that London discount and credit rates
are so low when danger of an acute kind
still exists In New York and when gold
is In such strong demand elsewhere. The

The attitude ot the nubile con

The fact that the New' York Associated

were quiet. The shares of ocean navi
