CLAIMS TO BE SETTLED.
The Commission Under the Treaty
With Chile Begin Business.

The United States and Chilean claims
commission when 1t met at the bureau Of
American republics yesterday adjourned
until next Monday. when hearings in the
two cases formally filed will begin. These
cases are Dubois against Chile. based on
the destruction Of the American railway
in Peru and the South and Central Ameri-
can Telegraph Company against Chile for
interference with its business during the
recent Chilean var. The Dubois claim Is
for s. $4,000 AMI the telegraph company
is for 100000. Ex-Sov. Boutwell, of Massa-
chusetts has been retained as counsel for
Chile.
The commission VIII act under the treaty
ratified between the two nations last year
and proclaimed January Is. 1882 by Presi-
dent Harrison. The gentlemen composing
the board are the Hen. John Goode Of Vir-
ginia, representing this government; the
Hon. Domingo Cana, representing Chile,
and the minister 10 the United States from
Switzerland, who was made the third men,
Der by appoip tment by the president Of
the Swiss republic.
The treaty. which was negotiated by Mr..
Patrick Esan. covers all claims of citizens OF
| the United States against Chile as well as all
claims of citizens of Chile against the United
States 1t is expressly provided that all
the claims shall be disposed of by the COM
mission within six months from the first
day set for business. October s. All per-
sons having claims to urge are allowed
three months IrOfl tnlS uate IN WHICH 10
submit them. They can bring them In any
time before December 8. 1888
Some of the claims go back as far as
1870. The oldest ones grew out of the war
between Chile and Spain, in which certain
citizens of the United States are alleged
to have suffered injuries to their persons
or property. Later came the revolution Of
1851 in Chile, which was followed In 1859 by
another revolution. 1t is rot a good year
in South American republic when there
is not a revolution. Incidentally to these
troubles more citizens of the United States
resident in Chile were damaged in one way
or another.
Claims on similar grounds arose from
the war between Chile and Peru in 1873
1850 and 1857 likewise from the conflict be-
tween Baimaceda and the congressional
party for the control Of Chile. which was
quite recent. For a long time past efforts
have been made to settle these matters by
submitting them to commission for ad-
judicat ton. Now at last this has been ac-
complished. The old claims which have
been hung up in the Department OF State
will be taken out of the files for consider
alton. Thus far only two new ones have
been submitted-that is to say. since the
treaty was made. But there Is no telling
how many more there will be.

RAPID ADVANCES
Made in the Navy During the Past
Year,

""ue IN me Navy During the Fast
Year.
The annual reports of the bureau officers
OF the Navy Department are well under way
ana Will shortly be published. They show
tnat splendid progress in the development
OF the navy has been made during the past
year. The report of Commodore Ramsay Of
the bureau of navigation is of special in
terest. 1t shows that during the year 10, 400
men and 2.O61 boys applied for enlistment in
the navy. OF this number LIT men and
l'oo4 boys were rejected on account of phys
ical defects; 4,192 men and 173 boys were re-
tected for other reasons The number Of
assertions included 939 men and 800 boys
and We're chiefly confined to home ports
Inc assertions on foreign stations were 1853
men and seventeen boys. No difficulty has
been experienced in keeping full the enlisted
force allowed by law.
The report Of Commodore Samson gives
interesting details of the years progress
IN ordnance material Apparently armor,
projectiles and guns have, for the present at
least, reached a limit In surprises 1t is in
tended to hold fast to the good results OBJ
| tanned heretofore, and to make such i'm
provements from time to time as further
practical experience warrants During the
year Two steel companies have successfully
demonstrated their ability to manufacture
armor-piercing projectiles equal, II not
superior, to those made abroad
Engineers Office.
Engtneer-in-Chief Melville reports that
much important work has been performed
by his bureau. and he refers particularly to
| the plans Of the machinery of the new gun
boats and the torpedo boats for the Maine
and Texas. In an earnest manner Commo-
dore Melville again calls attention to the
needs of the personnel of the engineer corps.
Chief Constructor Hitchborn devotes con-
siderable attention in his report to the
| necessity Of further improvements in the
plants of the several navy yards, notably
those at New York, Boston, Norfolk and
Mare Island. He deems it important that
the navy yards named should be equipped
for all emergencies, both as manufacturing
and repairing stations. Even in the case Of
the minor yards he thinks 1t important that
their facilities for general work should be
increased. The reports of Commodore Far
quhar. relating to yards and docks and the
work of maintaining the former ard pre-
serving and building the latter. and of Com
modore Chadwick, concerning the equipment
of vessels and the work done at the naval
observatory, in the Nautical Almanac office
and In the oftice of the superintendent Of
compasses, contain interesting Information
bearing on a years progress In the navy.

Unconditional repeal is what the country
hopes for, but is inclined to be satisfied
with anything that will be conclusive and

TO THE COURT OF APPEALS.
Mr.. Perry Asks That Tribunal TO Ex
anime the Ford's Theater Indictment

Mr.. r. Ross Perry this afternoon pre-
scented to the Court of Appeals the petition
OF Messrs. Ainsworth. Dant. Covert and
Sasse. for the consideration by that court
Of the decision Of Judge McComas yester-
day, dismissing the demurrer OF the de-
PENDANTS filed by them against the two in
dictments returned against them in the
matter Of the Ford's Theater disaster Of
June last
Mr.. Perry stated chst Ainsworth, Covert
and Sasse depended entirely upon their
salaries for support, while Dant was also
a man OF limited means. and TO compel
them 10 stand the expense of a long trial
upon an indictment which their counsel
believed to be invalid. while that Indictment
could first be passed upon by the appellate
court would be a great hardship.
Chief Justice Alvey directed the petition
to be filed, and explained that after the
court had read II counsel would be duly in
formed as to the conclusion of the court
in the matter.
