A Submarine TorpedO Boat.

1t is now well settled that the Navy De-
partment will soon authorize the construc-
ton of a submarine torpedo boat OF the
Holland type. The committee having the
matter under consideration made a supple
mental report to the Secretary Of the Navy
yesterday afternoon. emphasizing its con-
viction Of the superiority of the Holland
boat as compared with the Baker boat
The report recommends that the Holland
Company be instructed to have their pro-
posed boat built at some responsible ship
yard and that 1t be awarded the contract
at its price Of s35.OOO. OF the 100000 ap-
preparation, $4,000 was intended for the
boat and $4,000 for experiments. Numer-
GUS experiments have been made by foreign
navfes with submarine boats. but none has
yet been discovered that meets with ap-
proval. The Holland boat will be able to
descend to depth of about sixty feet and
will make about ten knots under water

He VIII Probably BE Arrested and
Brought Back.
Steps have been taken by the State De-
partment for the surrender to this coun-
try Of Francis II. Weeks, the lawyer who
ran away from New York. after having
robbed a large number of estates of which
he was the trustee and who is now under
police surveillance in Costa Rica, Central
America.
At the suggestion of the Secretary Of
State. District Attorney Nicoll Of New
York has furnished him with certified copies
Of the indictments against Weeks for use
IN making formal request TO the Costa
Rican government for his surrender.
There is no treaty of extradition between
Costa Rica and the United States. but the
facts are clear that the officers of the former
government have made IL a direct infer
ence that Weeks would not be allowed to
run away from Costa Rica If he should try
TO do so. and that the machinery Of the
State Department has now been set In mo-
ton with view of causing him to be
brought back to America and placed on
trial.
in estates remember to their sorrow. Fran
els II. Weeks sought another cline because
he had but S5S.s5 to show for funds in
trusted to his care amounting to 81 1866 co.,
He used the money TO boom land schemes
In Wisconsin and steel companies. All went
well enough until some of the victims got
together to inquire into matters and then
when there was no way out, Mr.. Weeks on
April 2. made an assignment of his prop
erty TO Lawyer r. W. C. yelling of 2
Wall street. AS the investigation continued
II was learned that Weeks had embezzled
money from all the estates and trust funds.
and a week after the assignment he disap-
peared- II is likely that he has been Fin
south America since his departure from
this country.
The case seems parallel to that of Tweed
who was arrested and voluntarily delivered
oy the Spanish government when there was
no exradition treaty. The Costa Rican
government has the power to arrest and
hold Weeks and deliver him to an officer
or this government under precedents es-
tablished on the ground Of international
comfy. There have been instances, though
wnere our government has refused to deliver
criminals wanted in other countries with
which We had no extradition treaties.
Conndence Is expressed, however that
Costa Rica Will honor the request OF The
United states IN this case and that Week
viii be surrendered for trial The relation,
between the two governments are extremely
cordial and IL II is likely that Costa Rics
VIII hesitate TO comply with the wishes OF
this government in the case of Weeks. ever
! In the absence Of a treaty of extradition.
