CoALiNG STATION AT CHIRIQUI.
Prospects Revived by President Lou.
bets Decision

The prospects for an arrangement with
the government of Colombia for an Ameri-
can coaling station on the bay of Chiri-
qui are revived by the recent arbitration
decision which awards to Colombia this
bay and the surrounding ports. The atten-
tion of naval authorities was directed to
Its advantages some time ago, and pre-
liminary negotiations were opened through
diplomatic channels to learn what arrange
ments could be made for securing facilities
for our ships there The Colombia gov
ernment replied that no definite answer
could be made, as the ownership OF that
territory was then in dispute with Costa
Rico, and the matter was submitted to the
arbitration of President Loubet. Now that
he has decided In favor of Colombia, the
way appears to be open for a definite re.
sponse from Colombia. 1t is understood.
however, that the Colombian authorities
prefer to make this a part OF any general
treaty which may be framed giving the
United States rights for an isthmian canal
project. Whether such a treaty will ever
be made is much In doubt, but in the mean
time the acquisition of this harbor for a
coaling station is largely dependent upon
negotiations for the treaty.

MAI. ELTONHEAD'S CASE.
Papers Have Been Sent to the Presf-
dent for His Action.

The papers in the case of Major Francis
E. Eltonhead, 14th Infantry, who was tried
by court-martial in the Philippines on
charges Of intoXlcation, after being thor
oughly examined ut the War Department,
have been sent to the President, the final
reviewing authority. This action is usu-
ally an indication that the court-martial
has found the accused guilty and imposed
a sentence of dismissal. The army regu-
lations prescribe certain sentences for GER
tain offenses and the court has no author
ity to change them. 1t is believed, how
ever, that in the present case there are
eXtenuating circumstances, such as men,
tai disorder, due in part to long army SER
vice and adverse climatic conditions that
will be made the ground for a successful
attempt to secure Il mitigation of the ex-
treme sentence.

special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun,
dated Newport. r. l., is as follows:
NEWPORT. r. l., July 24.-Capt Francis
A. Cook, who during the Spanfsh-A American
war was in command of the cruiser Brook
lyn, which was the flagship OF Admiral
Sehieys flying squadron" gave in an in
terview here today clear and interesting
description of the Brooklyn's famous loop
at Santiago. which Is again the subject OF
controversy. He also talked In reference to
the statement which has been made that
the Brooklyn was not in possession of the
code of signals improvised for use between
the Cuban insurgents and the American
ships during the war.
His description and explanation Of the.
Brooklyns loop are at variance with mucn
that has been said and written regarding
the incident. 1t is his opinion that the So
called loop is a question of little inapor-
tance
There Is nothing in the lsop' he said.
1T had nothing whatever to do with the
battle, butN was due to circumstances. 1t
was purely a tactical and a natural move
