GUNS FoR HART LINE BOATS.
A Threat to Give Spanish Cruisers IA
Hot Recention.

Philadelphia, Jan. 24.-Capt. w. W. Ker,
the counsel Of the Hart line of steamers,
declared to-day that the steamers of that
line Will be fully armed with guns, which
will be used against the Spaniards, If
necessary. He said the acQuittal at
Charleston yesterday of Capt. Hughes of
the steamer Laurada of the charge or
carrying arms anG men to Cuba will be
Followed with similar verdicts here next
month, in the cases Of the steamer Leon
ana Horsa, because, as was shown In
the Laurada case, the vessels of the line
nave done nothing wrong, and that the
trumped up evidence" can Justly have
no weight with a jury. Capt. Ker said
the Spaniards are a suspicious people.
They employed Pinkerton detectives to
watch vessels to see ii Cuban expeditions
We're being sent out These detectives, anx-
ious to make records for themselves, went
around among the firemen and deck hands,
treated chem to rum, of which they are
very fond. and pointed out to them how
they could make money by giving infor-
nation to the Spaniards. A story is fixed
up for them to tell, which they are drilled
INTO repeating. These witnesses are given
", free board, free whisky and a suit OF
clotnes and an extra witness may get 50
day, with rum. board and clothes.
These men are paid only $50 a month
serving on steamers and seldom make
more than one or two voyages on a yes
sci and they are thus readily induced to
become witnesses for the Spanlards.
14lClI SbOTle6 On Ine witness stand are
quickly upset by cross examination and
the result is the jury simply will not be-
Heve them.
Il am told that the Spanish authori-
ties have said that if they catch any of
the vessels of the Hart line in Cuba wa
ters they will make IL hot for the vessel.
This information may not be true, but
have every reason TO believe that the
Spaniards have no love for them. We are
not going to give up the West India trade
and we know that there are no United
States vessels there to protect ours.
I'VE have concluded to go into the pro-
tecting business ourselves, and we Will
necessary.
There are lots of we'll trained young
men from our naval training vessels that
would be only too glad to get position
where they could show themselves and
there are no better gunners in the world
than they are.
We are not going to seek trouble with
the Spaniards, but we cannot afford to
have our vessels chased" ="

The Levant Herald says that the winter
in Asia Minor is unusually severe. Heavy
snowfals and floods have blocked the

takes only three days to make the jour-
ney. Their muleteer was frozen to death
The consuls expect to reach Marash Sun

been concluded nor mediated
In well-informed circles this statement
lis believed to be probably a mere diplo-
matte bubble. The arrangement between
the two powers may not be embodied in d
treaty, but ii is becoming to be generally
believed that an understanding exists be-
tween them that is tantamount to
treaty.

TEN MILLION NEW DOLLARS.
The Treasury to Turn Out Few
More Silver CartwheeIs.


Washington, Jan. 4.-Secretary Carlisle
has directed Mint Director Preston to
prepare TO coin standard silver dollars at
the Philadelphia and New Orleans mints.
The amount of coinage to be executed
has not yet been determined but proba-
bly, not more than 1000, 600 standard sill
yer dollars will be coined. The seignior-
age on this will also be declared and
coined, and this will not make all told
more than $10,00000O
TWO things will happen as the result of
this decision TO coin standard silver dol
lars, viz. the reopening of the New Or
leans mint on a small scale and the con-
tinuance of coinage operations at the Phil
adelphia mint. Mr.. Preston says that by
Tuesday night next all the gold bullion at
the Philadelphia mint will have been coin
ed, and he does not think that that any
gold bullion viii be transferred from sub
treasures or mints elsewhere to Philadel-
phia at present. As the appropriation for
coming IS well nigh exhausted the force at
the Philadelphia mint would have been fur
loughed without pay, unless the coinage of
standard silver dollars, for which he had
a sufficient present appropriation, had
been decided upon There was he said,
pressing need for the coinage of subsidi-
airy silver and as soon as the necessary
money was provided by congress this class
of coinage would be resumed.
