ALASKA BOUNDARY LINE.
Sir Julian Pauncefote and the q. 9. Ofncials
ARroc TO It's Location.

New York, March IA dispatch
fote, the British ambassador. has in
formed the Canadian ministry officially
that he has arranged a convention with
the United States whereby the Alaskan
boundry dispute has been settled. Un-
der the terms OF the convention the
British government has conceded the
claim of the United States that the
three marine leagues should be meas
ured from the shore of the mainland,
and should proceed along the shores of
the inlets, which are thus recognized
as arms of the ocean and not as riv-
ers.
The contention Of the British and OF
the Canadian government was that the
three league limit should begin on the
ocean side of the island and the delim-
itating line should be run across the in
lets and not follow their shores. These
inlets are numerous and extend into
the mainland great gstance. and the
decision therefore is - much import
ance to the United States. The United
States has agreed to the British retain
ing the boundary on the limit of the
Chilkoot pass and the White pass, be-
cause in the Russo British agreement
of 1926 the line of demarkation was
fixed as one running along the tops or
the mountains. The decision, while not
entirely unexpected by the cabinet, is
regarded with disfavor 1t was under
stood that the British government was
irritated at the forwardness Of the Can
adian ministry. bupit was not thought
that the surrender would be so sweep
ing as IL is.
Washington, March 12.-It is said at
the state department that the Ottawa
reports that Great Britain and the
United States have signed treaty for
the settlement of the Alaskan bound
airy dispute are incorrect, no treaty
having been signed as yet and the mat
ter still being a subject of negotiation.

TRYING TO BUY SHIPS.
The United States Negotiating for Two
British Cruisers.

Washington, March 12.-Negotiations
are proceeding for the purchase of the
Brazilian cruiser Amazonas and her
sister ship the BarboZo by the United
States. But so far as the navy depart
ment is advised the negotiations have
not yet been closed.
The negotiations for the purchase Of
the two Japanese cruisers now building
in this country at Philadelphia and San
Francisco are off, and the present indi-
cations are that no further steps will be
taken toward acquiring these ships
The Japanese government appears to be
even more desirous of securing these
ships than the United States, and ow-
ing to the delicate character of the as
pect of affairs between Russia and Jap
an, it is felt that the needs of Japan
are quite as urgent as those of this
country.

and that he has been kept advised day
by day OF the proceedings Of the board

Located the Submarine Mine.
Lieutenant Jenkins. ii is stated on
equally credible authority, had located
the submarine mine which caused the
explosion and discovered its shore con-

change her anchorage and was placed
in such a position that she swung di-
rectly over the mine and when in the

no reasonable escape from these facts
