HAY OFFERS PANAMA PLANS.
Subnn its Amendments to Protocol to
Colombian Minister.


Certain notifications which the State
Department desites in the protocol gov
erning the construction of the proposed
Panama Canal before it assumes the
shape OF a treaty have been transmitted
by Secretary Hay to Mr.. Concha, the
Colombian minister at Washington.
These relate generally 10 questions Of
control and of sovereignty over the strip
of land through which the canal, If the
Panama route be finally determined upon,
viii lie constructed. They are designed
TO bring the protocol more in harmony
with the provisiops of the Spooner amend
mend and to facilitate ratification by the
Senate when theiinstrument reaches that
body in the forTt of a treaty. The Co
lombian legation officials do not feel that
the Instructions they now have are broad
enough TO authorize them to accept the
notifications proposed by Secretary hay
without further consultation with the
home government. Consequently the mat
ter has been submitted by them TO their
government for further instructions. The
aim Of Minister Concha is to have the in
strunlent in such shape that when it
comes before the two houses OF Congress
Of Colombia for action it will receive IA
vorable consideration.

MAINE is FAST SHIP.
Breaks All Records in Unofficial Test
at Night.


Plunging through a moonlit sea on
straight course out to sea, the new Unit
ed States battleship Maine made world
record breaking speed for battleships by
registering 1895 knots per hour in half
hour squirt. Over the regular trial course
off the Delaware cape it maintained
speed of 1929 knots per hour, which is
20 Of mile above the contract speed.
THAT it will exceed this on the official
trial is conceded by all experts aboard.
Never before had a moonlight night been
chosen for a trial run. The course chos-
en- was an east by south one, straight
out to sea. The Names propellers began
revolving at 7:20 o'clock. Gradually
they increased, pushing the mammoth
battleship faster every moment. At )
o'clock the first observation was taken.
The vessel had run eleven knots at a
speed Of 1916 knots an hour. With the
passing of another half hour it had in
creased the speed to 1915 knots an hour.
This moonlight ord-breaking run took
the Maine to the edge of the gulf stream,
about forty odd miles out.
