Want Our Ships Favored
A petition has recently been forwarded
to the senate and house Of representa-
tiyes, signed by all the leading American
ship owners and their Representative
in this city, requesting that in any nego-
t1ations made with Cuba on the line
of reciprocity sufficient consideration be
given to American owned ships to COM
pensate them for the well known diff
ference in cost Of running the same in
competition with foreign owned chips
in the trade with Cuba. The importance
Of obtaining some concession to Amer1-
can ships in the trade with Cuba Is at
tested by the fact that the slgners Of
the petition mentioned above represent
a capital of $50, 100000 invested in Amer
lean vessels.

Bad for New York Bankers-
Unable to meet the interest on It's
bonded Indebtedness, the greater portion
Of which is in the hands Of New York
bankers, the city Of Galveston has de-
faulted and thereby acknowledged itself
bankrupt. Long pending negotiations
with the bondholders seem to have re-
suited only in misunderstanding on each
side. What will be the outcome is not
plain. The bondholders have not de-
termined upon what proceedings they
vii institute
The bondholders' committee made a
proposition to the city which the people
Of Galveston consider harsh and oppres-
siye-in fact, no concession at ali, u,
an addition to their burdens.
