THE Loss OF THE TERESA
Alleged That the Warship Was
Unnecessarily Abandoned.
JEALOUSY WAS THE CAUSE
Opinions of the Captains OF Merchant
Vessels Tho Entire Management
OF the Affair L. Severely
Criticised.

Kansas City. Dec. 31.-The Star to-
night prints n letter from a stan cor
respondent, under date Of Colon. Dec.
s. which declares that the Maria Teresa
was unnecessarily abandoned. The let
ter says:
THAT the Spanish warship Infants
Maria Teresa was unnecessarily aban-
doned on Nov. I by those who were
bringing the vessel 10 the United States
is the opinion of practically every n
of the any merchant captains who
sail h north and south course through
the Bahamas. They charge directly
and positively that on Oct. 81 and Nov.
l the sea was smooth. with little or no
wind. at the place where the Teresa
was towing. This they offer to prove
oy the log-books OF the vessels In hat
vicinity at the time.
They also contradict the statement
that h Teresa was sinking when
abandoned or In any danger OF sinking.
and to prove this they point to the fact
that the Teresa drifted rs miles and
then went ashore in from ~ to II feet
OF water, and with only three feet OF
water I'm the hold.
These same sea cantains laugh a.
the statement h a the tue Merritt
searched 20 hours for the derelict and
could not find IL In such weather as
prevailed. inc when n sailor knew
Just which way the vessel would drift
after the tugs cast II loose.
THE merchant captains also criticise
severely the management of the whole
affair by h navy department. They
claim hat the Teresa never should
have been started north unless IL was
1T for the vovae Then. again. they
say IL was folly to have taken the deep
sea course when IL could have been
towed through the Bahama channel
to Key West In comparatively smooth
water.
When asked why the Teresa should
have been abandoned. they limited at
possible naval jealousy OF Hobson. and
also claim hat II the wrecking COM
pany a been working by the job, and
not by the day. there would have been
more chance of the Teresa reaching the
United states. the company having al
ready accomplished far more difficult
feats under contracts where payment
was conditional upon success. II was
considered advisable. perhaps. to dis
courage the navy from undertaking any
more work of that kind on it's own
hook. The merchantmen also intimate
the possibility OF the crew OF the Teresa
having been s~tampeded."

THE STATES FINANCES
Treasurer Collins Report for the
Month.
AMOUNTS IN THE FUNDS
Permanent School Fund Shows the
Largest Total - Practically No
Money TO Meet Expenses OF
the Legislature.
specIal pispatch to the standard.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena. Dec. I--The report Of Stat q
Treasurer Collins for the month of De1
cember was completed this afternoon BY

with the state auditor next Tuesday. Thd
report shows a total in the several fund.-
at the close OF business to-day of s307.-
506.A. As has been the case for some
time, the permanent school fund shows
the largest amount. The new year finds
500. 200. % in cash in that fund and s15s,-
oS5. % I'm bonds. state warrants and claims.
come fund comes next with Sal. s23 IS.
There is but ss2.f In the general fund
with which to meet the expenses of the
legislature, but the members need not
worry; they will have no trouble in CASH
ing their warrants at par. Last session
several local money Ioancrs advertised
that they would take members warrants
at par. The small amount in the general
fun Is explained by a recent heavy war
rant call. Tax money Is coming in daily
so hat early next week 1t is not unlikely
there will be a large amount in the
fund.
The permanent university fund con-
tains $751; 20. 62, of which 1924. IS is cash.
81. 46s. 4s claims and s5,627. &C warrants. Dur
ing the month the state treasurer re-
ceived s240, s97 .65 and paid out sls9. ITO. 10.
The following are balances in the diff
ferent funds at the close of business at
