UNCLE SAM NOT PAYING HIS DEBTS
ship Builders Complain They Are
Unable to Get Money Due Them.

Unable to Get Money Due Them.
WASHINGTON, May 81, 1894-Contrac-
tors for the new naval vessels are bringing
considerable pressure to bear on the Navy
Department for money due them on account
of the completion of their work Most of
the contracts provide for partial payments
on the vessels as they reach various
stages of completion, and for some
time past sums saggregating over a million
dollars have been due on at least ten ships
The trouble is said to have been caused by
the failure of the last Congress to make
sufficient appropriations to pay for
the work then authorized. The Cramps
of Philadelphia are the heaviest suffer-
ers by the lack of money. They have al
ready delivered the Columbia to the Govern
ment, which owes them nearly Sl00,O0O,
on that vessel in addition to the $4,000 re-
serve which should be paid within six
months after the vessel is completed. The
battleship Indiana has also been completed,
with the exception of her armor which has
failed to stand the tests of the ordnance de-
parument and although this ship has had a
contractors run atssea, the department has
not permitted her official trial, and Is un--
able to pay for the work thus far completed.
Money Is owed also on the Massachusetts,
Iowa and Brooklyn at the Cramps yards
and on the Oregon, nearly ready at the
Union Iron Works. San Francisco. The
hull of the Texas was built by the Govern
ment, but her engines were furnished
by the Richmond Locomotive Works.
and although she has had a
successful dock trial, the private contractors
are unable to secure their money. The final
payments are also long overdue on the
Detroit and Montgomery, although the
former vessel has had actual service at Rio
and returned to this country and final pay
ments have not yet been made on the Marble
head, notwithstanding the fact that she is IN
commission and will be on her way to Blue
fields in day or two. Naval officers and
contractors agree that Congress ought not to
authorize the construction of ships without
making appropriations for the work at the
same time The present Congress, which is
trying to make record for economy is
averse to making appropriations for work
started by its predecessors, and the contrac-
tors, who have performed their part of the
bargain, are in doubt how long they must
go without collecting their bills.

BERLIN, May 81, 1894 Baron v>n Thuen-

Berlin Criminal Court today on charge of
libeling Chancellor Won Caprivi and SEN
fenced to twelve months Imprisonment.
Baron Won Thuengen some months

burg La'tdessettung declaring that the
Chancellor was slavish in his ubmission
to the doctrine that the Emperor's will
was final. He was summoned to answer
for his article In a Berlin court, but
declined to respond, denying that the Prus-
sian courts had no jurisdiction, and demand
ing trial before Bavarian jury.
The higher courts decided against him,
and he was obliged to stand trial In
Berlin.
The decision that in Berlin the lower
courts are competent to try
Bavarian press offences, whereas
such cases are tried before jury in Bavaria
is the source of much comment.
