BAD FAITH OF BRIGANDS.
Ransom Was Paid Fifteen Days Aso
and Miss stone Should Have Been
Released Five Days Ago.

heiehseu rive Days AgO.
Washington, Feb. 21.-It is estimated
at the. state department that fifteen
days have now elapsed since the money
for Miss Stones ransom was paid over
to the agents of the brigands. At least
five days have elapsed beyond the time
fixed in the stipulation to place her in
the hands of her friends. There is no
explanation of the delay. 1t is hoped
that physical conditions, such as heavy
SHOWS and adverse weather. may ac-
count for the failrue to secure her de-
livery. The officials are 10th to believe
that there has been a breach of faith
on the part of the brigands, but even if
this were So they do not regard them
selves as blameworthy for having
trusted them.
From the first the United States gov
ernment has been averse to paying ram
som, but in response to appeals from
every quarter reluctantly authorized
MIR. Leishman to deal with the brig
ands. However, if it turns out that
the brigands have broken faith, and
that they either have taken the ram
som money and spirited the captives
away again, or that they have killed
them, then there will be no further at
tempt to deal with the brigands on the
part of the United States government.
but it's entire power will be directed
upon Turkey and upon Bulgaria to pro-
cure the swift and certain extermina-
ton of the brigands, regardless of cost
or effort

RATIFICATI0NS EXCHANGED.
Lord Pauncefote and Secretary Hay
Swap Papers in Isthmian Canal


Swap Papers in Isthmian Canni
Matter.
Washington, Feb. 21.--Final ratifica-
tions of the Hay Pauneefote treaty
giving Englands assent to the con-
struction of canal across Central
Aneriea. by the united States, were
exchanged at the State Department at
8 O'Clock this afternoon. There was
very little ceremony about the ex-
change of ratifications.
Copies of the treaty had been pre-
pared, precisely similar except in the
fact that the signatures were inverted
in one copy, and these were formally
exchanged between Lord Pauncefote
and Secretary Hay, protocol being
signed, formally attesting to that fact
which will form part of the records.
Lord Pauncefote was in the best of
humor over this successful outcome of
the labors of himself and Secretary
Hay, for he regarded the treaty as the
most important convention ever drawn
between the United States and Great
Britain and one that will do much TO
prevent friction in the future between
the two peoples.
1t has been suggested that with the
completion of the great work the Brit
ish government might regard Lord
Pauncefotes service as ended, but it is
stated that this is not the case. Lord
Lansdowne. the secretary of foreign af-
fair, has signiied to Lord Pauncefote
his desire that he shall remain in
Washington for an indefinite period.

WILL BUILD MANY SHIPS.
Great britain Proposes to Greatly
Increase Her Naval Strength.

London, Feb. 21.-The naval esti-
mates for 1902-1903 introduced in the
House of Commons to- day show a total
of eS1, ,255, 900, as compared with e3O,-
$4,000 last year.
The present estimates said the secre-
tary, give the government f15,000, 600
for new ships, and it was intended to
spend the money. No fewer than 40
ships would be put in the water during
the present year. and next year there
would be under construction sixty
ships in addition to twenty-seven 9TH
ers that would be laid down. Besides
this, a large programme of reconstruc-
ton would be undertaken, thereby add
ing greatly to the fighting power of
the fleet. Guns of more formidable
calibre would be mounted on many ves-
sells and six-inch guns of the latest and
most improved type would replace the
Al guns.
Unexpectedly rapid progress was be-
ing made with the submarine fleet, and
that more vessels would be added to
this fleet. A new type of torpedo boat
destroyer had been designed, and it
was hope to attain better results than
in the case of the existing vessels.

TO DO SOMETHING FOR CUBA.
Republicans May Allow 30 Per Cent
in shape of Rebate.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The Cuban re-
ciprocity problem was again before the
Republican members of the Ways and
Means Committee to-day, who were in
private conference for two hours, then
adjourning until tomorrow without
reaching an agreement. 1t developed
to-day that an informal vote had been
taken early in the conferences, not on
any specific proposition, but on the
general question as to whether any
thing should be done, resulting in an
expression favorable to action so long
as existing American industries were
not endangered by the extent of con-
cessions.
After to-day's conference ii was
stated with much definiteness by those
in aposition to know that there would
be an agreement later, and the belief
was expressed that the concession to
Cuba would be about 30 per cent, prob
ably as a rebate.

still being circulated there.

clared Barcelona to be in a state of
continued alarm.
