RETURN OF MIR. GAGE.
He Is Pleased at Attitude of Bankers
Regarding the Coming Loan.

WASHINGTON, April 2s-Secretary Gage
returned this morning from New York
where he had a conference yesterday with
prominent bankers in regard to the pro-
posed bond issue for raising a war fund.
In speaking to-day of the conference the
secretary said that the principal purpose
of his visit to New York was to obtain from
representative fnanciers and capitalists
their views on the proposed bond issue. He
had no definite proposition to make and
none was expected from the bankers The
result of the conference, however, was en-
inently satisfactory. All seemed disposed to
do any and everything possible to give any
needed financial support to the government
in the present emergency, although there
would be no financial inducement for cap
italists to invest in per cent. bonds when
time loans were bringing per cent and
even more The question of profit would be
put to one side and whatever assistance
the government needed would be forthcom-
ing. All fivored the popular loan idea and
thought that the people should be given an
opportunity to invest in the new issue.
Some of the bankers expressed doubt as to
the ability of the government to place
among people of small means as much as

No Change in Hawaiian Policy.

WASHINGTON. April 2S.-Prof. John B.
Moore qualified to-day at the State Depart
ment as assistant secretary of state, and,
in the absence of Secretary Day, received
the representatives of foreign governments
having diplomatic business with the United
States Among them were the Portuguese
minister and Mr. Hatch, minister from Ha-
wall. The latter, it is understood. called to
ascertain so far as possible, the policy of
the United States with regard to the repub-
lie of Hawaii in connection with the war
with Spain. 1t is said he had no information
to communicate concerning the report that
the United States flag had been raised at
Honolulu, the latest mails received at the
legation making no reference to such an
act. Although it is impossible to obtain any
official Information on that particular point,
it is understood that the Hawaiian minister
was informed that the administration was
not likely to change its policy towards the
Hawaiian islands. pending action by the
Senate on the treaty providing for the an
nexation of those islands to the United
States.

Important to Bank stockholders.

WASHINGTON, April 2S-An important
ruling has been made by Charles G. Dawes,
controller of the currency, relating to the
practice of the controllers office in regard
to the collection of assessments against the
stockholders Of insolvent national banks
and the distribution of the proceeds of such
assessments. Under this ruling, whenever
it becomes necessary. in adjusting the rights
of creditors and stockholders of insolvent
banks to either levy a second assessment
on stockholders for the benefit of the credi-
tors or to return an excessive assessment TO
stockholders the controller will review the
original assessment for the purpose of max
ing such adjustment contrary TO the prac-
tice of the Office heretofore. which has been
to regard an assessment, based on the hrst
estimate of deficiency in the banks assets,
as final, irrespective of whether that esti-
mate was, as q matter Of fact, too large or
too small This ruling is of great import
ance as it relates to assessment already
levied throughout the country as well as
those hereafter to be levied upon stockhold-
ers in inso1vent national banks whose af-
fairs are not entirely closed.

The Guido was taken to Key West by
Lieut.. Edward f. Qualtrough and Ensign

spinters made by the impact of the shots.
AS soon as the men from the Terror were
on board the stars and stripes were raised

with desire to see Spain trounced and an

Naval Appropriation Bill Agreed To.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The conferees
of the two houses reached an agreement
on the naval appropriation bill before adj
journing tonight. All the Senate increases
in the way of monitors and torpedo boats
were adopted. These increases include four
monitors at $125O,OOO, and sixteen instead of
twelve torpedo boat destroyers. All the
other important additions made by the SEN
ate are retained. The language in regard
to the enlistment of seamen was changed
so as to provide for one thousand more
marines. A provision was inserted giving the
secretary of the navy authority to enlist
volunteers up to the rank of commander.
This was done so that the department
could avail itself of the services of the Of
ficers of the American liners chartered by
the government. The conference will report
tomorrow.

The fact that a transport conveyed by

ing eight hundred marines to Key West
indicates that they may be needed soon
IT has been the custom to speak rather
siightingly of the marines. but they are a
valuable adjunct of the naval service. They
arc the regular soldiers of the navy for land
duty and as well drilled and reliable in every
respect as those of the army. The force is
limited by law now to $500. but the secre-
tary of the navy has recommended that II
be increased to 5000.
