CUBAN GOVERNMENT WILLING
T0lMPR0VE CITIES SANITATION

Washington, Nov. 30.-Minister Squires
has reported to the state department that
the Cuban government has expressed a
willingness to do all in its power TO i'm
prove the sanitary conditions at Santi-
ago and other cities which are threatened
with an epidemic of yellow fever.
There was nothing In Mr.. Squires re-
port, Il Is said. indicating that the Cuban
government was offended at the repre-
sentations by the United States govern
ment regarding the bad sanitary oondi-
tions in Cuba.
The note TO Cuba was couched In
courteous terms and was by no means as
peremptory as had been reported. No re-
ply to the communication has yet been
made by the Cuban government.
The chief difficulty In the way OF imme-
diate Improvement is tie scarcity Of
funds President Palma must look to the
Cuban congress for an appropriation. and
thus far there Is no indication that the
sum TO be appropriated will he sufficient
TO do work as thoroughly as might be de-
sired hy the United states
However. the good faith Of the Cuban
government has been plainly manifested.
and Il is expected that the expressed wish
OF this government that Cuba keep her
house in order will be fully complied

DECLARED
DIVIDENDS

New York, Nov. so.--Alexander NJ. Cur
tiss OF Buffalo. a director in the American
Mailing company. CNew Jersey. has been
held by Supreme Court Justice Clarke TO
be liable in the sum OF sios7. .o745s 10 the
stockholders OF the company for divi-
dends illegally declared and paid by the
board OF directors between July i5,lSsS.
and oct.l5 1899.
The interst exceeds $500. 900 bringing the
total TO over $4,000 This is probably
the largest individual Judgment rendered
In the courts OF this country for many
years
incidentally, every one OF Mr. Curtiss'
fellow directors is equally liable. The
other directors are Charles NJ. Warner OF
Syracuse Grant 3. Schley OF Moore e.
schley. e. r. Chapman. George r.
Neidlinger, Seymour Scott and Charles A
Stadler.
Suits have been begun against each of
them. Mr.. Curtiss will undoubtedly
carry the judgment up on appeal Archi-
bald A. Hutchinson and Victor X. Nc
Elheny, Jr, are the plaintiff stockholders,
suing for themselves and other stock
holders. The company joined as plaintiff.
Hutchinson & McElheney began their
alleging that the dividends had been paid
out OF the capital and not out OF profits.
Justice Clarke refuses TO entertain the
claim OF the directors that they merely
anticipated future profits in declaring the
dividends. Malt was always oversold by
the company and contracts for future de-
liveries running over many months were
entered into. and on these facts II was
sought to uphold the dividends.
Justice Clarke says that I'm consider
Ing whether the dividends were warranted
or not. such contracts or the profits an
ticipated from them. cannot be taken into
consideration. The dividends were based
on paper profits hoped-for profits, future
profits not on net profits or surplus.
Mr.. Curtiss was not present at the
meeting OF the board of directors on Feb.
2s, 1899. when the dividend for April was
authorized. so, under ~ exemption clause
contained in the general Corporation law
Of New Jersey to this effect. he is not
liable for the amount Of that dividend,
which was s2l9, $50 But he is liable says
Justice Clarke. for the full amount OF
each of the other dividends.

SUBMARINE
ALMOST
WRECKED

New London, Conn, Nov. 30-White
with the spray that hah crystalized on
her hull. the torpedo-boat Tingey. Lieu
her hull, the torpedo-boat Tingey, Lieut.
ger in tow, lmped into this port yester-
day after a night Of terror spent TO the
eastward Of Watch Hill, battling with
heavy seas. That the vessels at last
made port is the wonder of the crew
of the Tingey, which lost one OF her
lfeboats during the gale.
With the Plunger I'm tow, the Tingey
started out OF New Suffolk. l.. l.. Mon
day afternoon. headed for Newport.
The boats were several miles to the
eastward OF Watch Hill life saving sta
ton when It was decided To anchor, as
the wind was freshening.
About | o'clock the wind worked itself
into a gale, and the Pfunger -cabfe
parted. and, before the Tingey could
be manoeuvred TO pick up her consort,
the Plunger was on the sandy beach.
A lifeboat manned by crew OF brave
seamen put off and hauled her into
deep water. but before a line could be
made fast 10 the Plungers bow she
went TO the beach again.
The two seamen inside the Plunger.
with her hatch battened down. started
up the engine only 10 have the pro-
peller fouled with the cable. leaving
their craft entirely helpless Though
she was lying broadside to the beach
and 10 haul from either stem or stern
meant the probable capsizng Of the
Punger and the loss Of the two poor
fellows pent up inside her. Lieutenant
Nelson decided to make the attempt.
As carefully as the high sea would AL
low, the preparations were made. and
finally. near daylight. and three hours of
terrible suffering and strain, the sub
marine was hauled into deep water by
her bow and a start was made for New
London.
During the whole time not a signal was
dscernable from the interior Of the Plum
ger. The Tingey lost one OF her llfeboats
and shipped tons of water. Outside New
London harbor the United States steamer
Castle attached TO the New London en-
gineer's district was met and helped the
Plunger into port
Not TIL then was II possible TO lend
assistance to the men confined I'm the
vltals of the submarine. On taking off
her hatch. both men were found pros
trate under the coming tower. They
were removed to the Tingey, where re-
storatives were applied.
The men had only coffee and whskey
to drink. and both attribute to the use
Of the stimulants the fact that they were
alive when rescued.
The terrific pounding the Plunger had
undergone had agitated the batteries so
that the fumes generated faster than the
exhaust fans could carry them off If a
diver can release the cable from the Plum
gers propeller In time. the Tingey will
proceed TO Newport with her tow.

TWO LOCAL
SHIPS ARE
OVERDUE

The four-masted schooners Quinnebaug
from southern ports with piling intended

Both vessels should have made the run
I'm 10 days. but each has been out 26 days.
As both. no doubt, ran into the hurri-
cane OF Nov. 18th. considerable anxiety
is felt for the safety OF the ships.
The schooner David J. Sawyer OF Fall
River. which cleared from jacksonville
later than the date of sailing OF the other
vessels encountered the storm 50 miles
east OF Sandy Hook.
She ran back To- the hook. rode out the
gale and reaching Fall River began dis
charging on Nov. nth
As four-masted schooner has twice
been reported bottom up or the capes Of
Delaware, a point both the Wilbur and
Qulnnebaug would have reached about
the time the storm broke over H. those re-
ports add 20 the anxiety.
The missing vessels are largely owned
