ARMY TRANSPORT SERVICE.
4 statement of Expenses Sent to the
Seo=.se.

y statement Oh Expenses sent 10 the
Senate.
In response to an enquiry the Secretary
of War has transmitted to the Senate
a statement of the expenditures OF the
army transport service during and since
the war with Spain, showing that the total
disbursements aggregated S25, ,7S9, ,409 For
ty-nine vessels OF various classes were
purchased at cost of sS.074 400. and for
refitting 81. lS9, ,092 was disbursed.
The vessels chartered numbered 12S,
the amount paid vessels for services be-
ing s.. 2.Ss2, ,2Si. on the Atlantic. and 81, 749,-
2S5 on the Pacific, while $l,S94.3 .342 was eX
pended in fitting cut the vessels and re-
storing them to former conditions at the
end Of their charters. making a total of
Sl2.J25,S61 for the chartered service.
The table shows that the amount paid
the owners of four steamships for ser
vice on the Pacific. was greater than the
valuation OF the vessels. These were the
ZealsDdia, which was appraised at s250. 600
and whose owners were paid 1913, ,2G6 under
three separate charters: the Indiana, l.
ued az Sl50,00 and paid Sis9, 166; the Ci-o,

should be simply declared citizens of the

As there were bqt few Senators present
the amendment went over without action
The next committee amendment was a
new section (secson s. authorizing the
Commissioner of Navigation to make rules
and regulations for the naturalization Of
| Porto Rican vessels. o., II was agreed to
without objection. :, So was the next COM
mittee amendment tsectiou - in Iegard to
quarantine stations
The next amendment was that to substi-
7 tute American coins for Porto Rican coins
the latter to be retired at the rate OF
60 cents per peso.
Mr.. Morgan moved to make the ratio 100
cents per peso, and argued in support of
That amendment. One reason which he
gave against tho committee proposition
was that the enormous mortgage debts of
S3l.OOo.ooo are now payable in pesos, and
that the amendment would make them pay
able in American dollars
he characterized the proposition as
shameless effrontery" Every one OF the
Porto Rican pesos would be converted into
an American silver dollar, and should
therefore be paid in so many dollars.
There could not be, he declared. more
cruel injustice is.acii' "d- and it vas to be
magnanimity.
The same view of the question was taken
and emphasized by Senators Jones of Ar
kansas and Bacon of Georgia.
ar. Foraker defended the proposition
and said that the peso is passing in Porto
Rico at 40 or 4S cents to the dollar. So
that when so cents was pad for a peso
the advantage was on the side of the peo-
pie of Porto Rico and the talk about hard
ship entirely tod
Mr. Bacon put the case Of one hundred
pesos being converted into one hundred
dollars. and said that the Porto Rican
owner would only get 500. and that the
$40 would go into the United States Treas
ury.
Mr.. Foraker did not controvert that idea
but said that the additional $40 value WIS
given to the silver by the credit of the
United States.
After further discussion the question
went over without action. and at ; O'Clock
the Senate adjourned until today.

ment is willing to pay. Efforts are being
made to compromise the matter, however,
and the negotiations are being conducted
between the Danish crown and the Ameri-
can Minister at Copenhagen.
The statement is now made that the op
tion offered to the United States for the
purchase OF the territory will continue only
as long as the present session OF Con-
Gress. but the statement is not absolutely
confirmed Incidentally. it is held that the
rumors of Germany's intention of buying
the islands will prove groundless, for the
reason that the Monroe Doctrine would
prevent such an action by European pow
er. No difficulty is anticipated in securing
the necessary appropriation from Congress
to purchase the islands. as the amount will
be specified in the treaty. and the ratifca-
tiun Of the convention will presuppose the
passage OF the required appropriation bill.

extra expense that would be placed upon
them in the purchase Of the square.
As Senator Mcmillan does not consider
this a feasible plan the project will doubt
