British Railways as Investments.

New York, Aug. 2O.-The question of
the position and prospects OF British
railways as investments is exercising
the minds Of many people In this coun-
try Just now says the London CORES
pendent of the Tribune. fhe import
ance Of the matter cannot well be ex-
aggerated, for the capital involved
amounts TO something like six billion
dollars. Investors are naturally dis
satisfied with the reduction In their d.
vidends and one solution OF the diff.
Guilty which has commended itself TO
many stockholders is the proposed rails.
ing of fares and rates. At a time
however, when cheap transit is admit
tedly one Of the first necessities of
commercial progress, such reaction
airy policy Is not likely 10 be adopted.
Possibly the most urgent reform re-
quired In the railway system Of the
United Kingdom is the replacement OF
a large proportion OF the present boards
OF directors by thoroughly competent
business men. The Pail Mall Gazette
points out that while the average capl-
talization per mile Is now s2e5, 900 for
every mile constructed during the last
two years, $4,000 has been added to the
capital II Is impossible to Justify
such a proceeding, but the boards OF
directors as at present constituted cam
not be expected TO draw rigid dis
tinction between capital and revenue
expenditure.

THE SANTIAGO LOOP.
Man at the Brooklyn's Wheel Tells
How IL Was Formed.

New York, Aug. 2O.-Walter b. Adams.
OF Gloucester, Mass. a seaman who
claims TO have been stationed at the
wheel of the Brooklyn In the battle of
Santiago, is quoted as giving a new
explanation Of the loop made by Ad-
miral Schley's flagship, according to
special from Bellows Falls, Vermont.
Adams says that when the Vlscaya
was pointing her course, with the evil
dent intention OF ramming the Brook
lyn. Commander Hodgkins. the nayigat.
ing officer. issued the order to put the
wheel hard down. This would have
thrown the Brooklyn directly towards
the Viscaya. Adams says he UNDER
stood the order, but involuntarily threw
the helm hard up, causing the Brook
Ign TO swing away from the Spanish
ship. Noticing his mistake instantly,
he eased the wheel down and in getting
the ship back 10 her course the loop
was formed. which. Mr.. Adams says,
was not over half mile in length.

Alleged Collision Between ships Ofi+

Emigrant Bureau.

New York, Aug. 2O.-An alleged
scheme to defraud the government and
evade the immigration laws by securing
the admission Of undesirable immi-
grants by means OF forged papers and
collision between ships officers, and In
spectors OF immigration developed yes
terday II the story OF an in
spector, told to Assistant Commission
or Of immigration insolvency, is borne
out in the United States court today,
when an officer Of steamship line will,
the Times says, be arraigned, there viii
be a general investigation Of depart
ments In the immigration bureau In this
city. According to the inspectors story
he was approached by the officer of the
steamship and told Of scheme TO de-
fraud the government in which he was
invited to join. This scheme In brief
was that immigrants, mostly Italians,
and all Of the undesirable class, be en-
tered on the ships books as American
citizens and on the voyage provided
with forged papers made In Europe
with which to carry out their claim OF
previous residence. For this the immi-
grants were to pay IS each and sixty or
seventy could be landed every trip, or
altogether 5000 or 1000 every year. The
Inspector reported TO Commissioner
insolvency and was told to acquiesce.
He did so, and when the ship arrived
on Sunday the immigrants were landea
but never got further than the pier.
The ships officer was then arrested.
The names have not yet developed, but
during the day the case will probably
come UP In court.

III relations with the United States.
In the course of an interview Mr.. De
Abad said.
1.-THE prospects Of the annexation Of
Cuba to the United States should make
every reflective business man consider
the question of what effect a political
annexation might have upon the econ
omic relationships of the island with
the United States.
in the United States the removal of
duties on Cuban products would be a
deadly blow to the sugar tobacco and
other agricultural industries.
Those who state that Cuba wants
free trade with the United States have
either been deceived or are trying to
deceive the American people. What
Cuba really does want Is TO harmonlze
her interests with those OF the United
States. This could be done by remoy-
Ing from 30 to 40 per cent OF the import
duties upon certain products.
THE present economic condition of
the island is very bad and there is no
hope for relief until the tariff is
changed. Many tobacco factories have
reduced their output and In many sugar
mills wages will have 10 be decreased to
80 or 40 cents a day In order that the
crop of 1902 may be placed upon the
market.
ut is, Of course, unfair TO assume
that revolution makers In all cases
would take advantage Of a time Of
economic distress TO stir UP trouble,
yet state Of brigandage might be in
duced by a general poverty stricken
condition Of the people which would be
serious In its consequences,
"The United States has done Cuba
incalcuable benefit by relieving her OF
her great public debt This debt used
10 cost about S10.000000 annually and
was part OF budget Of 100000
cuban prosperity demands reduc-
ton of import duties In the United
States, but the protectionist here must
not look upon the Cuban producer as
his enemy. The fact that, In spite Of
the present high duty Cuban sugar IL
imported into this country, shows that
there is a market here for II, The re-
duction Of duties TO a certain extent
would relieve the strain upon Cuban
producers without injuring American
interests. The same can be said OF
the tobacco industry"

night refused to discuss the general
strike situation or the action Of the
