CAPTAIN WATKINS = ERROR

Admits Responsibility For the Paris
wreck-Two Year.' Suspension.
New York. July 11.-The report OF
Captain Watkins Of the stranding OF
the American line steamship Paris was
made public yesterday by the local
Soard OF steamboat inspectors. Cap
tain Watkins make no attempt to evade
responsibility for the accident. but says
frankly that the stranding Of the ship
was the result Of an unaccountabis
error on his part. The accident. he
says. was not due to any want OF
thought or anxiety about his vessel,
but resulted from a mistake he ma'lc
in calculating the position Of the ship.
The local inspectors Of steam vessels
have suspended Captain Watkins IL
cense as master OF ocean steamers for
two years.
Clement Acton Griscom. Jr.. vice
president and general manager Of the
American line, said: "The sentence
seems little severe. Other men have
lost ships through what was after
wards proved their own carelessness,
and only had their masters license
suspended for six months or q year at
most. Personally we feel for Captain
Watkins. He has been half century
at sea without the slightest accident
before. and 1t seems very hard upon
him. am very sorry 1t occurred. for
his sake"

Paris, July 1.-THE Prince OF Mo-

Count Boni de Castellane on account

Castellane's challenge the Prince of

Similar negotiations are said, on

Manila, July S.-The trial at Ca

Luna, the Filipino leader, who was as
sassinated by the guard Of Aguinaldo' S
residence, is ended. The accused were
acquitted on the ground Of self defense.
The testimony showed there was con-

officers to kill Aguinaldo and make
Luna dictator. Luna's death seems
to have strengthened Agulnaldo' 5
leadership for the time. Luna's sup
porters are now outwardly loyal to
