WASHINGTON, April 16.-Rear Ad-

from Chief Naval Constructor Capps,
who recently was ordered to Pensacola
to inspect and report upon the condi-
tion of the battleship Missouri as af-
fected by her recent collision with the

turret. Rear Admiral Capps stated
that the hull of the ship was not In

vessel is in good condition outside Of
the local damage to the electrical ap-
paratus in the after turret, which nat

SHOW
STEADY RISE
Report of New York Banks
Shows New Record for
Cash and Public Deposits
AUGMENT CIRCULATION
Increase, as in Previous
Weeks, Is Attributed to
Corporation Borrowing

NEW YORK, April 16.-The Finan-
cier says: The notable feature Of the
New, York Associated Banks last week
was further expansion in loans and
new high records for cash and for pub
lie deposits. The loan item was in
creased by s4,721 100, making s20,547, 900
in the last fortnight, S134, 4,6S3, 500 since
the beginning of the year and $50, 045,-
coo compared with the end of February.
The Increase this week, as was the case
IN previous weeks, was mostly due to
syndicate and corporation borrowings.
The cash gain reported by the banks
was $I,2S9.600, which amount was 81
100000 less than the gain as estimated
upon the basis of the traceable move
ments Of money during the week. De-
rosits were increased $11, sos 500 and the
required reserve was thereby augment
ed 81. 901, 400, deducting which from the
gain in cash left $4.3SS,200 as the in
crease in surplus reserve to $27, ,304, 900.
Computed upon the basis of deposits,
less those of $50, 1e1. 700 public funds, the
surplus is SAL ,352,525. The statement
showed a good proof, the sum of in
crease in loans and the gain in cash
being only s405, 100 greater than the in
crease in loans. 1t may be noted that
the cash gain was made up of $5,644, 500
specie and 1,645, 900 legal tender. This
carries both the specie and the total
cash reserve to new high records, The
public deposits also show the maximum
since they began to be separately re-
ported in the bank statement. Cir
culation was increased by s3OS 500. The
daily clearings averaged s190,000, 900. or
$2,000,000 less than those of the pre-
vious week. Loans of individual banks
in the association show net gains OF
81, 100000 by six institutions.

FEAR DANGER
TO CALSENAPP
In Berlin Colonial Circles
Great Anxiety Is Felt
About Fate of Expedition

BERLIN, April 16.-CoIonial circles
have been greatly concerned about the
Galsenapp column since the report of
the battle of Okaharui, German South
west Africa, which was received in
Berlin March 10, as large party, prob
ably 1000 of the Hereros defeated at the
battle of Onganjcia. retreated in the di-
rection where Galesnapp was last heard
cf. 1t is feared that his column of
about $50 men has been annihilated by
n superior force of the enemy.
Among the killed at Okatumba was
Captain Won Bagenski.
The recent severe losses in officers
and privates, together with the fact
that large masses of Bereros are still
under arms. have created the impress
sion here that a mistake was made
originally in sending too small a force
to Africa. The newspapers now say
that the Emperor was right when he
proposed 10 send 5000 men under the
command of a general.

ARBITRATION
PLAN APPROVED
Treaty Concerning Monetary
Claims Ratified by For
eign Relations Committee

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Another
important step took toward obligatory
arbitration of international disputes
has just been taken by the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations in re-
porting the treaty covering arbitra-
ton of pecuniary claims drawn up
and signed at the second international
conference of American States held in
the City of Mexico in 1902. Favorable
action was taken on this treaty in Sc
cret session of the committee on Thurs
day and it was reported to the Senate.
where it is now pending, with some
prospect of ratification before adjourn
ment.
Very few Senators outside of the
committee knew of this action, so inn
portant to the scheme of international
arbitration and to good relations be-
tween the counties of the Western
Hemisphere This is the first practical
and important recognition of the re-
suits of the second international con-
ference that has been made by Con-
gress, and as the whole world is look
ing to the United States Senate TO ad-
vance arbitration a step beyond The
Hague conference this action will at
tract attention in Europe as we'll as
among the American republics.
The treaty was submitted TO the SEN
ate at the first session of last Con-
gress. Senator SDooner was one of its
opponents, while Senator Cullom. the
chairman, repeatedly urged report
Spooner's objections were finally over
come and a favorable report was or
dered on a viva voce vote with prac-
teal unanimity.
Briefly stated. the treaty provides
that the high contracting parties agree
to submit to arbitration all claims for
pecuniary loss or damage which may
be presented by their respective citi-
zens and which cannot be amicably
adjusted through diplomatic channels
and when said claims are of suf-
ficient Importance to warrant expenses
of arbitration. BY virtue Of the fac
ulty recognized by article 26 of the
convention of The Hague for the pa
cific settlement of International dis
putes. The high contracting parties
agree to submit to a decision of per-
manent court of arbitration established
by said convention all controversies
which are subject matter of the present
treaty unless both parties should pre-
fer that special jurisdiction be organ
lied according to article 21 of the con-
venton referred to.
This treaty shall be in force for five
years Only one or two of the South
American republics have so far rati-
fed the convention. Nearly all are
awaiting the action of the United
States and should the Senate here
ratify. favorable action is expected at
once in all of the other countries repre-
sented. The signatory powers besides
the United States are; Argentina, Bo-
livia. Colombia. Costa Rica, Chile, the
Dominican Republic, Ecuador. Saliva
dor. Guatemala, Hayti, Honduras,
Mexico. Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru
and Uruguay.

To Finish the Canal.

Supposing that we work ten times
faster than the French did, we should
be more than nine years in finishing
the Culebra cut. Admiral Walker
thinks that we can complete the en-
tire job in eight years, but that is only
the conjecture of q man who. although
greatly gifted in many ways, is not an
experienced engineer. The question is
not only one of pure science in it's most
formidable aspect; 1t is one upon which
no achievement of the past can be
said to throw the smallest light. In a
general way we all feel sure that
American skill. ingenuity and pluck.
backed by illimitable resources. will
eventually triumph. Professional en-
gineers, however, who are familiar
with the character of the task awaiting
US, will hardly commit themselves to a

one There were four cars to the
train and Conductor Murray was in

Whites Hill brakebeam and brake
shoe on the forward coach broke and

three cars. Owing to the cut, the cars
did not turn over and no one was in

from Sausalito and the train was sent
up-country after five hours delay.
