WHAT SHIPS HAVE COST.
Vessels the United States Purchased for the
War.
Seventy two ships Were Bought =
Il7 Were Cbartered-Ali These
Took Money.

Washington March 29.-Acting secre-
tary Meiklejohn has sent a report from
the quartermaster-general to the SEN
ate in reply 10 a resolution Of January
9Th last. calling upon the secretary Of
war for list Of all transport ships and
other vessels purchased or chartered
by the war department since March 4,
1897, together with their names, from
whom purchased or chartered, the cost
of purchase or charter, the cost Of fit
ting up or repair, and the number and
names OF vessels sold and the reasons
for such action.
Theh departments answer Is in the
form Of three large tables, replying
specifically TO the various inquiries Of
the Senate. From these II appears that
only one vessel was sold, the steam tug
Atlantic, which was worn out and
condemned. She brought sl,509. The
transport Hooker which was fitted
up for laying a deep-sea cable In the
Philippines, grounded near Corregidor
island while enroute from Manila 10
Hongkong, and was lost The steam
lighter Bessie became the property
Of the government under the terms Of
the charter for s5i2,2O7, and was re-
named the Kearney.
1t Is shown that thirteen vessels have
been purchased by the quartermas-
ter's department since March 4, 1891
exclusive Of those purchased for the
army transport service for transporta-
ton incident TO the Spanish war. These
included the ferryboat John Han
cock. the steam tugs Gen. Hunt,
Martha and John Barry. and ten steam
launches at total cost Of sll2,41s, with
1855 for repairs.
Forty-nine vessels Of all classes were
purchased fer the army transport SER
vice during and since the Spanish war.

1t thus appears that the Hancock,
Logan and Sherman cost over
100000 each and the other three
named a slightly less amount. The pur-
chase price for the transport Meade
was 100000 and $4,000 was expended
in fitting her up.
The purchase price Of the Sumner
was $3.50, j94, and S25O.0OO additional was
expended In fitting her W. The orlgi-
nal cost of the hospital ship Relief
was $4,000 and S26j,59l was expended

O little more thanhalf was expended In

Of the large transports, Burnside and

ers.
All the principal transports were ac-
quired under the terms Of their char
tiers, and were paid for out OF the APP
preparation for the national defense.
There were l47 vessels chartered for
the transport service at total cost OF
sl0,673.5l9 for services rendered. and a
total cost OF 1854, SiS IN restoring them
TO their original condition on cancella-
ton Of charters. OF the chartered YES
sells, seventy-nine were attached TO the
Atlantic fleet, at cost for service OF
S2.SS2,2S4. and for repairs OF Sl75,5sO.
The remaining siyty-eight chartered
vessels were employed on the Pacific
coast at a cost Of S,149, 235 for service
and Si07, COS for repairs.

ENGLAND NOT SATISFIED.
Portugal Can Pay Delagoa Bay
Award without Selling Colony

London, March 30.-The Daily Mall,
commenting upon the award at Bernef
says: THE boundless procrastlnation
Of the tribunal 1t Is difficult TO explain,
for not the smallest trace Of equity can
be discovered In the award of the beg
carly 100000 as compensation Tor
a concession valued at G6.000,00O. We
fear the arbitrator allowed themselves
TO be prejudiced against British inter-
ests by the irrational anglophobia
which has seized upon the Swiss peo-
pie. BY their conduct the arbitrators
have struck deadly blow at arbitra-
ton
The Daily Chronicle says: THE
award corresponds with the general
anticipation, Portugal Is condemned
TO pay, including interest. nearly mil
lion sterling. Probably Jhe ingenuity
Of Pretoria was a fertils contributor
TO the lnexplicabie delay OF the arbitra-
ton. We wonder whether the diploma
lists at Lisbon think they have the
value Of their money
The Daily News says THE sum
awarded Is as great surprise as has
been the long time taken by the arbi-
traitors IN arriving at a decision. II
has been estimated that between two
and two and a half millions sterling
al least would be the amount Of the
award. and or the financial obligations
thus to be laid upon Portugal a great
deal Of political speculation has re-
Gently turned This speculation Will
probably have to undergo good deal
Of modification"
The Daily Graphic says; vThe award
is profoundly unsatisfactory, for, u
ever there was a hlgh-handed and un-
justlfable raid on private property II
was the confscation Of the Delagoa
Bay railway"
The Times says: THE company and
its creditors will doubtless consider the
sum awarded far from adequate. but IL
is probably as much as they can rea-
sonably have expected to recover and
as much as Portugal can manage to
raise without assistance.
The Standard says: III would be
asking too much OF human nature TO
expect that the aggrleved parties will
submit 10 their fate cheerfully. The
bin OF costs will make a large hole In
the award. and il is safe 20 say that for
every sovereign the claimants will re-
celve they had built hopes on at least
three and probably more.
"The whole thing is most unfortu-
nate, especially as there was no com
pulslon to resort to arbitration. Great
Britain and the United States might
simply have presented bill Of dam
ages at Lisbon and required It's prompt
liquidation. Resistance would have
been out OF the question and our moral
case was so unassallabe that no power
would have presumed 20 interfere.
Looking al all sides Of the South
African question. We sacrificed much
for the sake OF supporting the principle
Of arbitration. II Is probable that Por-
tugal will be able to raise the sum
awarded without alternating any part
OF her colonial possessions. Still, we
do not regard the question as finally
settled. Friendly diplomacy may yet
achieve what a recourse to arbitration
has failed 90 accomplish"

man would get away with the money,
but neither Wltherspoon nor French

to 20 to Frankfort and advise Youtzey

Scott said Youtzey would have 10

told freely on the streets today and II
was further stated that Scott had as

made to arrest Youtzey. The report Of
