of the Paris trt- Sir JULIAN rAurohsoiA
bunal OF arbitration Of 1892. Thursday
was the last day allowed for payment
under the terms OF the award. and II was
made in pursuance OF an act passed by
wednesday and approved by
the president yesterday morning.
These claims arose through the seiz-
ure by United States revenue cutters and
naval vessels, detailed for the purpose
of patro1iing the Behring sea, Of a num-
Der of small schooners hailing from Brit
igh Columbia that had engaged In seal
Ing. BY SO doing they had violated the
law of the United states. but when the
whole general subject was considered
by the a~rbitrators II was decided that
the United States. at the time these
seizures were made. q not exclusive
jurisdiction over the water OF the sea
outside OF the emile limit. n that
consequently the owners OF the vessels
were entitled to compensation for the
losses they had sustained. The seizures
occurred all in n year.. for In the fol-
lowing year the United States and Great
Britain had arranged q modus vivendi
which practically excluded sealing yes
sells from the waters Of the sea during
the time the seals are breeding.
The damages swardsd by the Joint
commission were considerably less than
the aggregate OF the claims of the owners
Of the sealing vessels. but the amour
was still In excess Of the figures which
Secretary Gresham had arragned to pay
for the damages lone had congress con-
scented at the time.

THE LAW

Washington, June misrepresentation
OF corporations and others who have
contracts under the government and who
oppose the extension of the 8-hour law
to contractors under the government
were heard yesterday by q sub-com-
mittee OF the senate committee on labor.
Among those present who were heard
were Charles Cramp. president and Mr..
Cameron, secretary OF the william Il.
Cramp Shipbuilding company: ex-
United States senator Higgins. repre-
senting several Delaware companies:
sx-Representative Payson, attorney for
the Newport News Shipbuifding COM
pany; r. p. Lindemann. president, and
Mr.. Davenport. superintendent, OF the
Bethlehem Steel and Iron company. and
James Galley. president, and Mr.. Corey
superintendent of the Carnegie com
pany.
Mr.. Cramp argued that n the bill
should become = law 1t would be inpos-
sible for his company to compete In bid
ding for the construction OF foreign war
ships. He Is building warships fer both
Russia and Japan. and II would be Inn
practicable to work men on the Ameri-
can vessels for only eight hours and
those on others for a greater length OF
time. Ne could not compete with the
European countries In bidding for such
work IL compelled to work under an g.
hour law.
Mr.. Payson said that IL would be nec-
essary Tor the Newport News company
either to refuse government business,
or TO go out of business. for IL the gov
eminent work should be accepted at all
under the law II would be necessary "a
adopt the s-hour system for all en-
pioyes. This condition of affairs would
render IL impossible to proceed with
business. Mr., Payson expressed the
opinion that under the proposed law
wheat purchased by the governmen,
would have to have been grown by men
working under the s-hour system.

Whole companies OF Spaniards have

able sight. The native p~easantry charit-

an outpost. Nrhey bought a wandering
haw ker's stock of eatables for q few shill-

who said it was the FIRST food they had

WASHINGTON, May 21.-The news event of
the day with the navy department was the dispatch
OF the order to the Monterey to proceed to Manila
to reinforce Admiral Dewey's squadron. The Mon
terey is tower of strength in herself and her addi
ton to Admiral Deweys force together with the dis
patch of thousands of troops to Manila is ample ev
dence that the administration has assumed no half
hearted attitude toward the Philippine question.
and is determined to take chances of dispOssession
until such time as the United States itself has ar
ranged for the disposition of the island
The Monterey is probably the most formidable
monitor in the world, yet she combines with the
enormous offensive and defensive qualities of the
monitor type seaworthiness that is almost phe-
nomenal. The Monterey is described technically
as barbette turret, ow-freeboard monitor Of 1000
tons displacement She is 256 feet long by 50 feet
beam, and IA feet inches deep She carries in two
turrets, surrounded by barbettes, two twelveinch
and two teninch guns, while in her superstructure
between the turrets are mounted six six ixpounders,
four one-pounders and two gatlings.. The turrets
are q and inches thick, and the surrounding bar
bettes are IA and III inches of STEEL and against
this armor all the batteries in Manila might thunder
away without effecting an entrance.
The Monterey's personnel is nineteen officers
and 172 men, and she is in the entrance of Ma
MIA nafDOr nOInlnS In the shape OF navy would
be likely to bulge her from her position This dis
patch may have an important bearing upon the Span
ish governments SO openly published statement of
sending reinforcements to Manila. The only doubt
to the feasibility of sending the Monterey is her
small coal capacity. She has bunker room for only
200 tons of COAL and though might be stored on
her decks it is doubtful whether she could at the
utmost, carry than enough coal to take her to
Honolulu, one-thrd of the way to the Philippines
1t is probable that the Monterey will go in convoy
and, after exhausting the coal that she will take on
at Honolulu, she must either be towed about 1000
miles of her trip or perform the difficult operation
of coaling at sea.
The navy department gave out no news today
touching the movements of the American and Span
ish squadrons in the neighborhood of Cuba. 1t is
plain to be seen however. that the officials are ex
pecting great events to occur at any moment. What
they most fear is the effect that might be produced
on people by greatly exaggerated and mislead
ing reports from Spanish of great naval
engagement If the Spaniards should claim the vic
tory. 1t is realized that the first news of an engage
ment in the neighborhood of Cuba or to the east.
ward may reach the United States through the Span
ish cables, via Madrid and these are almost certain
matter what the result may be, to make such a
claim of victory for the Spanish. Obviously the only
manner in which the truth could be discovered would
be through our own officers

Three Thousand More Arrive.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.-Nearly 5000 more
soldiers were added today to the number already en-.
camped here numbering over 5000. Today's ar.
rivals represented the states Of Colorado Minnesota
Kansas and Wyoming Every ferryboat from the
Oakland mole bore its load of soldiers. The troops
commenced arriving this side of the bay about
o'clock this morning, and arrived in detachments
of about 400. AS they marched of the steamers
the ladies of the Red Cross Society appointed them
selves leaders and headed the rayelsained soldiers
to the headquarters of the society, where eatables
and drinkabes awaited them. Not man was al
lowed to go away hungry, and to say that the boys
pleased with their reception is putting it mild
ly but to the evidences of good will displayed
by the ladies' of the Red Cross each soldier was pre-
sented with small bouquet of California flowers
These tokens were placed in the barrels Of the
rifles, and as the men marched up Market street the
fower-tipped destroyers added greatly to the at.
tractive appearance of the men.
The troops marched through the streets toward
Camp Richmond all morning long, and every detach.
men was greeted with cheers and volleys of flowers
Today's arrivals marched in better order than most
of their predecessors. and every regiment had
band there was plenty of martial music.
Minnesota turned out the finest body of men SO
far as physique is concerned. Over thousand men
represented that state and they an exceedingly
clean and orderly lot and marched with the air and
precision Of regulars.
Colorado turned out the greatest number Of
men, and they We're the best equipped They lack
nothing i'll the way of outfits and their band is the
best that has arrived here with the Eastern troops.
Their solderly bearing attracted great admiration,
and mingled with the regmenta cry of the Colorado
boys the cheers of thousands of interested
spectators.
Kansas was represented by four companies,
numbering about 500 The kansans
mostly 'raw" recruits but have been drilled an
often possible since leaving their native state and
quife proficient in military tactics. The
regiment is designated the Twentieth Kansas,
following the Nineteenth Kansas. which was the last
regiment sent to the civil war by that state. Two
other regiments from Kansas have been sent to
chickaman:a park
Wyoming's 40 men represent four companies,
and they are all well equipped aud very soldierly
lot The good people Of the Red Cross society took
particular interest in them, and when they emerged
