"War risk insurance" has been ad

Spain have begun to play hide and
seek ou the ocean, says the 1'ortland
Telegram. American cargoei in fer
eign ships leaving here far Chiua,
Japan, Australia, or any point on the
Pacific, now pay an additional to i of
1 per cent insurance on their cargoes.
American cargoes lu American bot
toms pay 5 per cent to same ports.
American vessels carrying Americau
wheat to Atlantic or Euroieau ports
around the Horu cannot be i'sucd at
all, ss underwriters fear Spanish priva
teeis and cruisers on that side. So
aays a prominent marine insurance
mau of this city. Wheat, however,
continues to be sent abroad in foreign
bottoms after being purchased by for
eign wheat dealers on cible orders.
When a foreign ship gets beyond the
three mile limit the cargo no longer Is
American, and so stands In no danger
ofSpaln.
Wheat cargoes have been very fortu
