Tracey, ex-secretary of the United States
navy, sailed from Southampton today On
the American line steamship Paris, instead
of ON the st. Louis ON sept II, Ms was his
first plan. General Tracey expressed sur
prise to "A representative of the Associated
Press at n report which has been published
here that the United States battlcship
Indiana had to bo sent to Nova Scotia TO
be docked, as there was no dock large
enough for the purpose in the United
States. General Tracey said: During the
time that | was secretary of the navy l
started to build docks large enough to
hold any warship, 1t seems astonishing
that they have not been finished, think
there must be some mistake"

Though the Claims Against Him for LAW
yerS Fees Alone win Amount to Six
Hundred Thousand Dollars-No Show for
His Ncphow, Jose Manuel Mora.
WASHINGTON, Sept 7.-The Spanish
government has yielded to the representa-
tions of the United States In the matter of
the place Of payment of the money in satia-
faction Of the Mora claim, and will pay 1t
in Washington on tho date agreed on, the
18th inst. AS the amount is large, the
payment will be made in exchange on Lon
don and the transaction will be conducted
through the state department. 1t has been
represented that the claimant, Antonio
Mora, has assigned so. much Of his claim
that he would receive practically nothing
from this settlement. 1t is authoritively
stated In his behalf that this Is not true,
and that after all assignments are salts
fled, including 1900, 900 for lawyers fees, he
will have left between 500, coo and $500, 900.
There is no apprehension of trouble on
the part of Mora's attorneys because of the
suit threatened by his nephew to enjon
the state department from the payment Of
the money to Mr.. Mora when received. 1t
is not believed here that the surrogate of
New York, to whom this nephew, Jose
Manuel Mora, applied for letters of admin
istration In order to enable him to COM
mence the suit, will grant the letters, and
If he should do so, and II the injunction
should be granted, 1t Is understood that
the secretary of state would not recognize
the injunction, because of his knowledge
that Antonio Mora did not in his original
petition mako any claim in his brothers be-
half. Moreover, it is said jose Mora, the
elder, never became an American citizen,
and had no claim upon the intervention of
the United States.
1t is suggested by attorneys here that the
nephew can recover damages by applying
direct to Spain, in view of tho holding of
the supreme court of Spain that the confs-
cation of property is in direct violation of
the Spanish constitution. The heirs of
Jose Mora, therefore, perhaps will prefer
claims quite ms extensive as those allowed
in Antonio Mora's claim.
