CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY,

to Vacate the Dry rortugas.

NEW YORK, Mar, S--A special to
the Tribune from washington says
Naval officers have been astounded
this week 20 learn that they have no
rights at Dry Tortugas. where sum
OF over 100000 has been expended In
the last year In establishing n coaling
station and rendezvous commanding
the gult coast OF the West Indies, and
where there is now being rapidly pros.

regarded as the most important STRAIT
eglc base between the Chesapeake and

At Tortugas the army had erected
the most formidable fortihcauons south
OF Fort Monroe. but the station was
deemed tnsamhrious and several years
ago was turned over to the quaran-
tine service when Cervera's fleet left
SPAIN the president promptly had Fort
Jefferson, ON Tortugas, gurrlsoned to

THE CURRENCY LAW.
Secretary of the Treasury Preparing
Plans to Put II Into
Operation.

NEW YORK. Mar. ga special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Plans for complying promptly with
the currency law are being considered
in the treasury department. and will
be put into operation at the earliest
possible moment after its passage.
Secretary Gage will have a new form
Of the daily treasury statement pre-
pared, which will separate the funds
set aside for the redemption of gold
and silver certificates and legal ten
der notes from the funds used in the
ordinary fiscal operations.
The most important work to be done
is to prepare the new bonds nnder the
refunding plan
The new two per cent bonds will be
issued 10 holders of the old bonds TO
the face value Of the old bonds, but
certain premiums will be paid by the
treasury in cash These premiums viii
be such that the ponds will pay two
and-a-quarter interest until maturity,
with allowance for The sinking fund.
The effect OF the premiums paid will
be that man holding a bond for $1,000
will receive a new bond at two per cent
for sl,00e, will receive a check from the
treasury for the premium, amount
ing in the case Of the fours and fives
to something like 500. and will there
after receive interest at the rate OF
two per cent.
None of the two per cent bonds will
be offered for sale by the government.
This probably accounts for the report
ed Premium of five or six per cent
upon new bonds when issued.
If the government We're taking up a
loan which had matured, some Of the
new bonds might be offered upon the
market and the money received for
them used in paying old bonds whose
holders desired their redemption. In
the present case, however the only op-
tinn Of the holder Of the old bonds is
to accept the new ones, or retain the
old ones.
1t is proposed to issue bonds Of as
high as $4,000 to meet the needs of
the banks, but they will also be issued
as low as 500. An apprehension seems
to have gained ground that the pend
ing bin calls in large silver certificates.
This is not the case.
The treasury will not make any call
for large silver certificates. but when
they are received in the ordinary
course of business and for re-
demption only, certificates of so and
under viii be issued in their place.
This will tend TO put all the silver GER
tificates into small notes and there will
be a tendency to cancel small legal
tender notes and substitute large ones.
The high price Of the bonds capable
Of being refunded and the recent in
crease Of bank note circulation indi-
cate that general preparations are be-
ing made by the banks to exchange
the old bonds for the new. 1t is ex-
pected that rush of applications will
come to the treasuary when the law
is approved. The issue of the bonds
for the payment of premiums which

NEW YORK, March 5.-Manufac-
tura of sinokeless powder by the gov
eminent will now shortly be started
at the Indian Head proving grounds.
The buildings of the plant are practi-
cally completed. the machinery has been
delayed but its placing will be accom-
plished soon. In order to avoid m
jury to the proving grounds, the plant
land several miles away and the two
points are connected by a railroad, the

tion on the part Of the government to
enter into competition except as to
quality with private manufacturers.
Experiments will be made at the
factory with a view Of improving the
quality of the powder. There Is a dis
position on the part of the private
manufacturers to secure limitation

EvAD1NG CALIFORNIA; TAXES
Ships Loading Wheat at Port Costa
to Avoid Its Local Assessment.

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 5.--During
the past forty-eight hours the loading
Of wheat on British ships in this city
and Port Costa has been pushed with
phenomenal speed. In all, eighteen
vessels, carrying an aggregate Of over
10000 tons have received nearly all or
the whole Of their cargoes.
The cause Of the hurryng in getting
the grain on board is said to be the
fact that today the owners must make
a sworn statement Of the amount they
have on hand for the information Of
the assessors. If on foreign vessels
the taxes on the amount mentioned
amounting to nearly $4,000 cannot be
collected in this state.

One Brakeman Under Arrest and One
Has Fled-Not a Case Of Blaekmail.
The all absorbing topic here is the
criminal assault upon the Thorne girl.
Yesterday Special Constable Veatch ar
rested one of the brakesmen on the
southbound freight at this place He was
charged with enticing Miss Thornc
away.
She was assisted on the southbound
freight last Sunday evening 10y the men
in charge OF the train at Latham and
placed in box car. She was then out
ragged by three or four men on their way
TO Roseburg, where she was discovered
next day in the car and sent home.
According to all reports she is now in a
precarious condition. The citizens here
are very much worked up about the
affair as the almost, universal opinion
here is that the train men are guilty.
One of the brakesman has fled.
Harry, the man arrested, is now un-
der $500 bonds for his appearance here
next Monday at O'Clock for examina.
tion before Justice Vaughn. The effort
to prosecute the criminals seems to be a
mere farce from all that can be learned,
as ample time has expired since the
outrage occurred in which the people
think the guilty parties could have been
apprehended. The idea that it is a
blackmailing scheme is not believed
here by any one. The girl has always
borne a good name here and is not quite
l6 years OF age.
