New York, April 12.-Mayor Van

Chief of the Bureau of Navigation,
Washington:
Raleigh arrived Bermuda 9Th. Ord

Edward Lauterbach, a member Of
the Finance Committee, said that so

At a late hour the Committee on Plan
and Scope rejected the proposition to

nOnstration. 1t will be decided to-
morrow whether there shall be a grand

Gen. Shafter denied Col. Roosevelt's
statement that he was on the trans
port two weeks going to Cuba.
They were tied at wharf all but
seven days of the two weeks. If they
were running short of their rations
they could have drawn more. The COM
missary was right across the street.
His men were on shore all the time"
Reverting to the canned roast beef
the witness remarked that it was not
palatable at a temperature of 100 deg
General, did you have any informa-
ton of Col. Roosevelts report of Sept
1902"
II did. 1t was made after the return
to Montauk and too late to do any
thing"
Gen. Shafter said he did not know
positively of any better substitute for
fresh beef than the canned roast beef.
Pressed closely as to the adaptability
of the ration supplied in Cuba, he re-
marked: Our ration was not well
adapted to the service there. There is
no use talking about it. 1 had nothing
to do with that Congress in the United
States had the making of the army ra-
ton. They are the people to talk about
it,"
He thought less meat and more rice
and vegetables would be better for use
in the tropics, He did not know that
the canned roast beef was a part of the
army ration until it was issued for the
Cuban campaign. He had not known
of its use in the army before. In Cuba
he ate it right from the can without it's
being recooked. 1t would have been
out of the question for the men on the
firing line to have made stews out of it
with potatoes and onions.
I'm view of condemnation of the
canned roast beef by about rs per cent.
of the officers in Cuba, what would you
say about it's further use?"
LAS l have said l don't know of any,
thing better. Personally I prefer clear
bacon. I want to say that canned roast
beef was not unfit for food. That it |
was unpalatable, uninviting and with
out taste is perfectly true, but it was
not unfit for food"

Payment of the $4,000, 900.

Washington, April 12.-No definite
arrangement has yet been made for
paying the $20,O00000 indemnity to
Spain, as authorized by the Treaty of
Paris. 1t was said at the Treasury De-
partment that the Government would
not deem itself under obligation to de-
liver the money in any form on the
other side of the ocean, but that war
rant for the 500 900, 900, probably on the
New York Sub-Treasury, would be is
sued to any person bearing the proper
credentials from the Spanish Govern
ment showing that he was authorized
to receive it on the behalf of Spain.
This is the position taken by Secre-
tary Case several weeks ago, and he
has maintained the same view up to
this time. Secretary Gage does not
deem it necessary to discuss the ques-
ton of transporting the specie to Spain
or of paying the amount of the indem-
nifty by foreign exchange, for in his
opinion the Government is not bound
in any way to deliver the money, ex-
cept at the United States Treasury or
at one of it's branches most convenient
for the Spanish agent who may be dele
gated to receive it.
The payment of the indemnity was
briefly discussed at the meeting of the
Cabinet The President and his ad-
visers concurred in Secretary Cages
view of the matter some time ago. Sec
rotary Hay said to-day that the Am
bassador of France, M. Cambon, had
been requested to inform the Madrid
Government that the 500, 10000 was
payable in any form, either at New
York or Washington, at any time an
agent should be delegated to receive it.
No reply has been received from Spain,
but it may be that the indemnity will
be paid through the agency of the
French Embassy.

THE SAMOAN AGREEMENT.
Commissioners Expected to Sail from San
Francisco Eight Days Hence.


Francisco Eight Days Hence
Washington, April 12.-As a result of
conferences at the State Department
and at the British Embassy, efforts
viii be made to have the Samoan High
Commission make a quick trip across
the country, reaching San Francisco in
time to catch the steamer leaving for
Samoa one week from tomorrow. This
is regarded as a distinctly favorable
turn in the negotiations, and as indi-
eating that the three governments are
very near to a complete accord on all
points of the commission. 1t does away
also, with the reports that Germany
was Withholding the appointment of
her Commissioner, and makes practi-
cally certain that Baron Speck Won
Sternberg, First Secretary of the Ger
man Embassy here, will be the German
High Commissioner.
In an authoritative quarter it was
stated to-day that reports of German
protest against Admiral Kautzs course
in reference to the treatment of the
German cruiser Fake were unwar-
ranted. All the negotiations, it Is said,
in the highest German quarters, are of
such character as to bring the gov
ernments more closely together, in
stead of separating them.

of French pattern gowns these dainty
feminine accessories appeared, and

able rising generation of young women
who had never seen them save in pic

peared. A large-sized pansy, with six

fred silk and two lower petals Of vel

municipal ?classes, where the art of
making artificial flowers is taught in

lection of candidates. The people are
to name the candidates at the regu
lar primaries of the party, and what
the people determine must be the will
of the party.
The leaders and the governing COM
mittees must be selected in the proper
way, and when they are chosen no
power from without or within the
party must be permitted to alter
them. The Republican party won q
great victory in 1895, 1896 and 1897
because it was true to its principles
and its organization and decline to
tolerate outside interference. In 1899
it lost, and there are the strongest
reasons for believing that defeat was
entirely due to the abrogation of the
recognized usages of the party, and
acquiescence in the interference of
those whose only purpose was to use
the organization for their personal
ends. The record of the party during
the four years of its supremacy was
certainly equal to that of any prevl-
GUS administration of any party in
Maryland, and the national Republi-
can record has never been surpassed.
But the introduction of the Trojan
horse did the work which no amount
of Democratic campaigning could
have accomplished. Hereafter the
Columbian Club will stuhbornly re-
sist every effort to divert the party
from the usual methods OF admins
tration.
