The Esmeralda Purchased From Chill
for Over 81. 100000 in Gold.
New YORK. December Japan has
augmented her navy by the purchase
OF the crack Gillian cruiser Esmeralda.
The deal was consumated here within
the last few days ana was managed
with great adroitness, Chilli first selling
the ship to Ecuador and the latter
country transferring her to japan. To
further disguise the facts report was
given currency that China had bought
the ship. This was to avert suspicion
until the cruiser was we'll out Of danger
OF being apDrehended on the high seas.
She is now on her way to japan by way
of Tahiti. The purchase price was
over 81, 900, 900 in gold cash.
The sale by Chilli violates no neutrali-
ty law, as Chilli has 20 treaty with
China or Japan and moreover her sale
was to Ecuador, who is also without q
treaty with either beligerents.

by the California club to fight the bat
tie out later, but instead pulled down
his $4,000 coming from the drawn CON
