HEARD HUBBARD.
Committee on Pacific Railways Have
Another Session.


WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The COM
mittee ON Pacific railroads of the house
gave a hearing today to General Hub
bard, of New York. General Hubbard
spoke at length, in an informal way,
to show that the Union Pacific would
be able to meet the requirements OF the
bill which he recently explained to the
committee. For this purpose he re-
viewed the statements of earnings
made by the company for several years
past. He admitted that it might be diff
ficult in the present state of the money
market for the company to raise money
to carry out the plan, but said it was
not necessary to sell bonds this year
The first mortgage bonds maturing
next July, might be carried at per
cent, and probably the money market
would be more favorable in 1897.
Mr.. w. S. Pierce of the Union Pacific
reorganization committee presented a
supplementary plan for that committee
1t proposed an issue of 5000, 900 bonds
$50, 100000 less than the original plan
The principal of the indebtedness to the
United States would be paid as follows:
On January l, 1897, sum which after
the application of the sinking fund,
would pay the principal Of the subsidy
bonds, which mature ON that date, and
had already matured on January l,
1898 and 1899, the principal of the bonds
then maturing, the payments all to be
in CASH
The secretary of the treasury would
compute the interest due the govern
ment, as due June /. 1897, and for its
payment fifty year , per cent second
mortgage bonds would be issued.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The
Nicaragua canal bill which probably
will be pushed in the house, was
agreed upon today by the special sub
committee which has for several weeks
wrestled with the many schemes in
troduced
MI Mahon, of Pennsylvania, is the
author of the plan Which meets the
views of the committee, for the bill
adopted is one introduced by him at
the beginning of the session, and but
two amendments were made to it.
Government control with possible
ownership by the United States in the
future is the vital principle of the bill.
Government ownership at present was
thought impossible. Is thought by
Mr.. Mahon and some members of the
committee that Nicaragua and Costa
RIGA might consent to ownership by
the United States, but several years
Mr. Mahon says not less than six years
would be required to secure the
necessary legislation from them.
The bill provides for the reorganiza-
ton of the Maritime Canal company
the payment of all it's debts, so that
a satisfactory settlement shall be pre-
sented to the secretary of the treasury
the selection of a board of directors,
ten of them named by the United
States, eight by the canal company
and one each by Nicaragua and Costa
Rica. The issue of bonds may not
exceed one hundred million, with in
terest at 3 per cent. the bonds to be
guaranteed by the United States and
redeemed at the pleasure of the gov

sued.
The amount of stock to be given the
canal company in payment for the eX-
penditure and work put upon the canal
is not to exceed seven millions. Four
millions of stock is to be issued to the
Nicaraguan government. and one and
a half millions TO Costa Rica. The
bonds are TO be secured by first mort
gage for the United States drawn by
the attorney general. They are only to
be issued as they are needed for the
work of building the canal-$10 900, 900
to be advanced ait the beginning-and
the stock is to be issued in correspond
ing amounts Out of it's net earnings
the company is to pay, first, the inter
est OF it's bonded Indebtedness then a
dividend on the stock not to exceed five
per cent, and the balance if any, to go
into a sinking fund for the payment of
principal and interest of the first mort
gage. The canal is to be built by three
engineers of the United States army.
The changes made in the original bill
Increase the amounts of bends permit
ted to be issued from seventy to one
hundred millions, and the amount of
stock to be given the existing company
from four and one-haIf millions to
seven. The bill will be presented to the
commerce committee on Friday for its

ANOTHER clever Dodge.

NEW YORK, March 1S-The Herald
this morning says: The Spanish de-
tectives engaged in keeping watch on
the movements of the Cubans in this
country were very much exercised last
night over the report that the steamer
Hawkins did not sink on the morning
of January IS, but that she made her
way to the island. landed her cargo
and is now laid UP at one of the
Florida keys
The story took two forms. One was
that the Hawkins carried a DOUBLE
crew. Both crews were well paid. one
to serve until the steamer returned
to port, and the other to be DISCHARGED
in small boats about five miles from
the New Jersey coast. The vessel left
port Saturday night, and by Tuesday
night she had gotten no further than
Barnegat Point. AS an ordinary yes
sci could make this distance in much
less time, suspicion was at once
aroused.
The detectives argue that the Haw-
kins was merely crawling along the
coast. waiting for a storm The storm
broke on Monday night, and on Tues
day morning the crew left the shin
in small boats, taking a good many of
the passengers with them.
The detectives say that at the time
the Cubans knew their

the Spanish authorities in this coun-
try They knew that the cruisers Raj

of Admiral Bunce, We're watching for
them outside, assisted by the revenue
cutters Morrill,, Mclean and Colfax.
1t was necessary, they say, to take
some desperate measures to make it
appear that the Hawkins had not gone
to Cuba. and this means was adopted
General Garcia was the only man of
consequence rescued. and the detec-
tives say that was done in order to
allay- their suspicious further. Besides.
they say Garcia can do more good in
this country at the present time than
he can in Cuba
ANOTHER VERSION
of the story, on which the detectives
are working. is that the Hawkins is
actually at the bottom of the ocean,
having been scuttled by the Cubans
after her cargo had been transferred
to another vessel They do not take
UP this theory with any degree of &C
tivity, however, as they are inclined
to think she actually made her land
ing in Cuba. They believe she went
to the north and east of the island.
and then made her way to the Florida
keys, where she is waiting for an ex-
