MUST HAVE SHIPS
War Department May Take
Possession of Vessels
Owners of Which Demand Un-
reasonable Prices.
CONDITION DEMAND 1T
IF Such Action Should Be
Taken
Arbitration Board Would Ad-
just the Differences

Washington, May 24.-Much comment
and some criticism has been caused by
the delay in forwarding troops to the
Philippines to support Admiral Dewey.
Both the comment and the criticism
had their origin in the desire of the
people that the fruits of Dewey's vic
tory at Manila should not be endanger-
ed by any lack of assistance from the
navy or the war department.
1t is known now that troops Would
have been sent to Manila before this
had it been possible for the war
department to secure transports
on the Pacific coast. The utmost diff
Guilty is being experienced by the de-
partment in obtaining such transports.
The coast trade on the Pacific is not
large as compared with that on the At
lantic and a majority of the vessels
engaged in the trade are of foreign reg
lister. OF course ships flying a foreign
flag can not be used as TRANSPORTS by
the government as such use would con-
laws of the nation whose flag the ship
bore.
The war department is negotiating
by telegraph with the Pacific Mail
Steamship company for the charter Of
two of the company'S vessels, the China
and the Colon. The Colon flies Ameri-
can colors, but the China is under the
hawaiian flag. The difference between
the war department and the steamship
company is now one of price. Whether
satisfactory terms will be agreed upon
remains in doubt.
Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn re-
ceived a telegraphic offer from the
agent Of the Northern Pacific Steam
ship company at Seattle placing at the
disposal of the government the COM
pany's entire fleet of steamers provided
they be given American register These
ships are the Tacoma, Arizona, OIyn-
p1a, Columbia, Victoria and Argyll. All
are British built vessels and fly the
British flag.
Commenting upon the situation which
confronts the department, Secretary
Meiklejohn said:
IF we can not get vessels at what
we consider fair prices we shall be
forced to press such as we may need
into the service and leave the prices to
be adjusted subsequently by a board
appointed for the purpose. We have
made every possible effort to secure
vessels of American register, indeed we
want nothing else. But it is impossible
to obtain them on the Pacific coast.
we snail nave simply to ask congress
to give American register to vessels
that we can obtain. There is no way
out of the difficulty
The likelihood is that the war depart
ment will order such vessels of the
Northern Pacific Steamship company
as may be needed to San Francisco and
then ask congress to give them an
American register in order they may
promptly convey the available troops to
Manila 1t is the desire of the depart
ment that the troops following those to
be sent to the Philippines on Saturday
next shall go not later than We'd
nesday, June 1. 1t is imperatiVely nee
essary they be gotten to Manila as soon
as possible, but in order that they go
at all it will be quite as necessary that
some of the ships be given American
register by congress.

PROVED HIS SKILL.
Lieut.. Col Roosevelt Threw a Lasso
For Some Boys.

CF'rom the Washington Star.1
a very thlck set, cOmpactly built man,
who wore glasses and had a sort of ru-
mlnant smile on his broad, healthy
looking countenance, was swinging along
a street in the northwest section few
afternoons ago, apparently taking his
time, and observing things as he went
along. On the good sized lawn of one
of the residences he was passing, there
was flock of half dozen young boys
in knickerbockers, playing Wild West.
They were screeching and hooting fit
to wake the dead, for they were evenly
divided, three of them being bold, bad
scouts, and the other three being Indi-
ans with an especial mission for yelling.
They were having plenty of fun with a
couple of lariatS, without being able to
exhibit any skill whatsoever in the ma
nfpulation of the same. One of the
scouts would throw the lariat ineffect-
ualIy at an Indian five or six times,
with no more result than that of scrap
ing the Indians nose with the rope.
Then the scout would walk up bravely
to the Indian, place the loop of the lar
lat around the latter's neck, and drag
him few feet in bowling triumph.
The thick set smiling man stopped,
leaned up against a tree netting, and
watched this sport amusedly. 1t could
that he liked boys. He studied their
play for a few minutes, and then start
ed to walk on. He hadn't taken more
than two steps before the singing of a
him that one of the lads was endeavor-
ing to lasso him. OF course, the lad
didn't succeed in doing this, but the
thick set, smiling man turned around
good humoredly.
bad throw, my boy" said he. ''Now
If were a fleet maverick, I'd be a good
hundred yards away by this time. You
boys haven't just got the hang of roping
yet. Let me show you
The boys, higiy pleased at getting a
grown, good looking and good natured
man involved in their play, studied the
thick set man with interest. He stepped
onto the lawn, took one of the lariats
out Of the hands of a willing lad, and
said:
This isn't such a good 1asso as it
might be, for it's not heavy enough, but
maybe it'll do
Then he gathered the lariat up into a
coil carefully, swung it about his head
a few times in realistic manner that
made the boys stare, and in the twink
ling of an eye a little chap who stood
about 20 feet away, near the steps of
the house, had his arms pinioned to his
sides by the loop of the lariat.
"Crackyi' exclaimed the boys in a
chorus. ''II bet he's with Buffalo Bill's
show, all right. Aren't you, mister?'
mo I'm not with any show just now"
said the thick set man, pleasantly. Il
expect to be with a very big show, in
deed, though, a little later on. But
I've often seen men throw the 1ariat.
It's all a knack. Any one of you boys can
learn how to do dt IT you practice 1t
carefully"
Then the good natured man stepped
from the lawn onto the sidewalk. AS he
was resuming his stroll, a young man
passed him, and, touching his high hat,
said:
Good afternoon to you Col. Roose-
velt."
Lieut. Col Roosevelt courteously ac-
knowledged the salutation, and passed
on, still wearing that ruminant smile OF
his.

PLANS FOR MONTEREY.
Naval Officials Pass Upon Details of
Cruise to Manila.

Washington, May 24-Naval officials
nave calculated to their entire salts
Iactlon the possibility of getting the
monterey safely across the Pacific to
Admiral Dewey'S squadron at Manila
The principal difficulty in making such
a trip as this, is the small coal capacity
OF vessels of the Monterey's type She
carries normally 200 tons in her bunk
ers, which, at her most economical rate
of steaming, would take her about 300
miles less than the distance from San
francisco to Honolulu. In an emergen-
cy, such as now exists, it is possible to
store good deal of coal on the main
deck. Being placed in the passageways
and open spaces of the superstructure
of the vessel, the great beam of the
Monterey would permit 100 tons of coal
to be carried, in addition to that in the
bunkers without in the least endanger-
ing the stability of the ship or risking
the loss of coal by being washed over
board.
At her economical speed of 100 knots
per day, this coal would last her II
days and carry her 5000 knots. Owing
to the carefully laid plans of the navy
department, the Monterey now on her
long cruise, will be obliged to make
run of over 2,100 knots without an op-
pOrtunity to coal. The ship will take a
southerly course after leaving Honolulu
in company with a steam collier. The
south seas are full of islands as soon as
Hawaii has been left 1000 miles behind
and in the sheltered harbor of these it
should be easy for the Monterey to lie
alongside her collier and coal through
her superstructure. 1t would not be
surprising if one of the harbors chosen
for such a transfer was in the Caroline
islands, another Spanish possession in
the South seas, for by so doing there
could be no possible complaint of a
breach of neutrality laws on the part of
any neutral nation. From the Caro-
lines to the Philippines, the way is easy
and under the programme as arranged,
there is no probability of failure in the
attempt to get the Monterey safely
across the Pacific.
The Spanish squadron at Cadiz, which
reports from Spain state is going to the
Philippines, is capable of higher speed
than the Monterey, and may not have
much difficulty in obtaining the neces-
sary coal to make the trip, so that even
though the distance be longer on the
eastward trip, there are possibilities of
a most interesting race.
Naval orders announce the assign
ment to the command of the Monterey
of Capt Eugene H. Leutz, lately in
command of the Alert.

Gen. Blanco, who added that the Amer
lean ships were Immediately recognized
and repulsed.
The count asked If the government
had notified the powers of this incident.
Minister Of the Interior Senor Cap
depon said that he had notified the
powers and described this reported act
ion as "cowardly and iniquitous."
Count AlmenaS said: THAT in view
of Americas manner of making war,
Spain must Immediately decree priva-
teering in order to utterly destroy
American shipping"
To this the minister OF the interior
replied that the government had de-
liberated upon the matter and had even
taken certain decisions which would
shortly be known.
Count Guendulain said the Amert-
cans ''act of piracy was admitted by
certain theorists as international law
Senior Martinez Pacheco remarked
that 1t was doubtful whether such an
act was legal
But he added, Gin the face of the
Americans conduct In war with Spain,
we must not show consideration for
them"
Continuing, the speaker protested
against Spain's adherence to the Gene
va convention, whereupon the minister
of the interior replied that Spain had
not yet entered the convention.
