MILLIONS IN CUBAN CLAIMS.

Filed by American Citizens, Who Suffer-
ed Damages In the Island.
WASHINGTON, March lathe de-
partment of state has received claims
to the amount of $21, OO0,OOO on ac-
count of property destroyed in
Cuba belonging to American cit
liens and also on account of in
juries sustained by citizens for which
pecuniary indemnity is sought. The
peace treaty expressly provided that
the United States and Spain each
should assume liability for all such
claims preferred by their respective
citizens Therefore the United States
government is probably chargeable
for all the damages sustained by
Americans through Cuba by either
the insurgent or Spanish troops, and
in the case of some plantations owned
by American citizens these losses were
very heavy.
Congress made no provision for the
settlement of these claims, 50 the state
department is at present unable to do
more than merely to file then.

steel workers generally 10 per cent,
and tin plate and sheet workers from
to 10 per cent, and of coal miners in
some large districts about as much,

General Wheaton's Brigade Makes
an Advance on Pasig River.
GUNB0ATS CLEARED THE WAY.

MANILA, March 13-General Wheat
on's newly formed divisional brigade
advanced at o'clock this morning
from San Pedro Macati for the pur-
pose of corralling the enemy. It is
now moving on Pasig, meeting with
slight resistance, as the rebels are in
full retreat. A gunboat is clearing
the jungle along the river banks,
which have been carried as far as
Guadalupe. The purpose of the move
is to clear the country to Laguna de
Bay.
The Filipinos apparently had
planned an attack upon the lines Of

American Navy Has Attracted
Worldwide Attention.
NAVAL ATTACHES ARE COMING

WARRINGTON, March 13.-Lieutenan

the French ambassador. NJ Cambon,
to become naval attache of the French
embassy. Lieutenant DeFaramond
has had wide experience as a naval OBJ.
server, following the japanese and
Chinese vessels through the China
Japan war, and now comes here to
study American naval methods.
Speaking of the American navy to-
day, Lieutenant DeFaramond said:
1.-The American navy has attracted
worldwide attention within the last
year, and this is leading European
countries to send naval attaches to
Washington. This will be the first
time that the French government has
had a naval attache with the embassy.
A German naval officer is coming to
the German embassy. and other coun-
tries doubtless will follow in the same
line.
''Since the Spanish American war
this country affords splendid facilities
for naval study. 1t was the first real
test of modern fighting vessels and
naval science must draw its conclu-
sions largely from what the
American navy accomplished dur
ing the war with Spain.
think it is universally conceded
in Europe that the American navy
made a splendid record, not only in
general way, but in technical matters
of naval detail. 1t demonstrated the
effectiveness of the rapid fire gun of
medium caliber, rather than the
larger guns. It also seemed to show
that the power of a navy is more in its
weapons of attack and offense. its
capability of giving blows. rather
than in its heavy armor and capability
of resisting blows
I'VE in France were quite aware of
the growing power of the American
navy even before the recent war. Our
chief naval constructor, NJ. Berth,
came to this country prior to war and
made tour of your dock yards, ar
senals. etc. On his return he made an
official report, showing the great i'm
provements the American naval con-
structors have brought about, partic-
ularly in the arrangement of bulk
heads and in the distribution of armor
SO az to protect vital points We also
know your American armor and are
using the Harveyized American pro-
cess, which has been found entirely
satisfactory thus far.
Lieutenant DeFaramond says for
eign naval observers are not only in
terested in the results of the war, but
are also observing the large amount
of naval construction now in progress
in the United States and the naval
improvement it involves. From Ital-
ian naval statistics he shows that the
United States is to-day reckoned Sec
ond among the great powers in point
of warships under construction.
