Washington, ID. c., Nov. 2S.-(Spec-
ial.l-As stated in my dispatches Satur-
day the Secretary of the Navy has con
sented to loan to the State of North
Carolina, the auxiliary cruiser Hornet
for the use of the State Naval Militia.
The vessel has ben at Norfolk undergo
ing slight repairs, and will proceed to
Wilmington at the date designated by
the Governor of North Carolina. A word
about the Hornet before she reaches
North Carolina waters will be of inter
est, and from Secretary Longs report on
the work of the navy during the war
with Spain official information is easily
obtained.
Before the war the Hornet was the
property of the noted railroad magnate
Henry NJ. Flagler, and was used as his
private yacht, then named Alicia. She
was purchased by the United States on
April 6, for $117,000, and within less time
than two months had engaged in two ac-
tive contests with the Spaniards. The
Hornets record is one of the best made
by the converted-yacht style cruiser.
The most serious engagement in which
the Hornet took part was at ManZan-
lilo on June 80. The Hist. Wampatuck
and Hornet, while making recconnois
sance between Cape Cruz and Manzan-
lilo were engaged with the enemy's YES
sells, field batteries and infantry at
Manzanillo. The Hornet was struck
many times and had her main pipe cut,
Wampatuck gallantly towed the Hor-
net out of danger Many scars were left
on the Hornet by the Spanish shells
fired during this engagement.
On July II, the Hornet having been
repaired at Key West, the little vessel
took part in another engagement off
Manzanilo, and as a result several
Spanish gunboats were destroyed.

NOW NEARING THE END.
Two Weeks More May Suffice to Close
Peace Negotiations.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-It is the i'm
preston at the State Department, in the
absence of anything save press reports
of the proceedings ut Paris to-day, that
the commissions work is now near an
end, and that about two weeks time
will suffice 10 close it up. This idea
is based on the belief that instead of
undertaking to arrange the several mat
ters yet to be settled in the treaty of
peace, general clause will be placed
in the treaty binding each of the par
ties to begin negotiations i'll the near
future upon those subjects. Such a
clause of necessity must be very care
fully dra wn in order to ensure the United
States ii resumption of commercial rela-
ti0ns with Spain on fair terms with other
Nations, though it cannot go far into
details and must be limited in scope tC
something like Il general pledge to yield
to the United States favorable condi
tions 1t was said at the State Depart
mcnt that the next step i'll order will be
to begin negotiations for the acquisition
of Ualan. in the Caroline Islands, fol

but will be an offer in all sincerity tG

BARON sPECK CALLS ON HAY.
German Government Not Hostile to Us
Despite Hostility of Press.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Baron Speck
Won Sternberg, Charge d'Affairs of Ger
many, called at the State Department
to-day and had conference with See
retary Hay on current topics, particular
ly those growing out of the late war,
in the course of which Baron Speck
took occasion to express the most friend
ly sentiments on the part of Germany
concerning the present status of af-
fairs. The call was chiefly significant
as an evidence that German officials
desire to counteract the reports that
Germany is about TO assume an attitude
of protest and to lay claim to the Sulu
archipelago, which is to be included in
the peace negotiations at Paris. Baron
Speck's call gave rise to sensational
reports to the effect that he had pre-
sented a protest from Germany against
American interference in the Sulu Is
lands. In view of these reports it was
stated tonight in an authoritative quar-
ter th&t the Sulu Islands were not men
toned during the talk, which was of a
most general and friendly character. AL
though the cable reports have shown
that the German press is considerably
wrought up over the policy of the United
States in the far East, and is urging the
Government to make a protest, nothing
has developed in official quarters up to
the present time to show that there is
any purpose ON the part of the German
Government to- heed such belligerent
suggestions. On the contrary the call
of Baron Speck to-day gives assurance
that Germany accepts without question
the outcome of the peace negotiations.

The Protocol Questions Being Decided,
These Will Follow.

Having embodied in the treaty articles
all the protocol questions, the two conn
missions will now enter upon friendly
negotiations regarding the matters sug-
gested in the American ultimatum Il
week ago, matters subsidiary and incl
dental to the principal provisions, which
must form part of the peace treaty, rs
finally signed. These include the relig.
ious freedom of the Caroline Islands, as
agreed TO twelve years ago; the release
of political prisoners now held by Spain
in connection with the instructions in
Cuba and the Philippines; the taking
over of the Island Of kusaie, or Ualan
in the Carolines for a :elegraphic and
naval station: station rights at other
points in Spain's jurisdiction ands sthe re-
newal of certain treaties, previously in
force between the Untel States and
Spain, which may have lapsei or been
yitiated by war.

FRAUDS UNEARTHED
 AT VANCOUVER, B. C.
Simple Device by Which the Custom House Has for Many Years
 Been F1eaced

VANCOUVER. B. C., Aug. 23.-C. c. Eldredge, recently appointed Appraiser at Vancouver, has unearthed a conspiracy to defraud the customs, which has been in existence for years. While searching the recent records of the Customs Depart ment here 4idredge found that by using double set of invoices Chinese and Japanese merchants had defrauded the Government out of thousands of dollars through operations extending over six years. The modus operandi was very simple. Mongolians in the East who sent out goods to their countrymen in the West prepared two invoces-one for the use of the merchant and the other to be used at the Customs Department. The latter invariably misrepresented the value of the goods.
