One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned.

The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent. of his earnings.
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved. That
being the case he cannot be too care
ful about unnecessary expenses. Very
often a few cents properly invested,
like buying seeds for his garden, will
cave several dollars outlay later on.

miralty, who have reviewed the finding
OF the court martial which exonerated
the commander OF the relief ship Assist
ance. which In October last grounded in
Tetuan bay, Morocco. not only declare
their disagreement with IT, but say they
are unable TO appreciate the reasons that

They furthermore sharply condemn the
captains and other officers OF the battle

Canopus and the cruiser Arrogant for ne
the same occasion Capt Stsrtin Is re-
moved from the command OF tho Com

formally censured. Four lieutenants are
superseded.
Regret is expressed that the command
ing admiral may have assigned an unsafe
berth 10 the Assistance. although the lat
ters commander was not relieved of re-
sponsibility thereby.
The incident has caused sensation,
less because OF the admiralty's unusual
and drastic action, than because OF the
detailed grounds for its severity which
show surprising laxity and imply that

cruiser from the wreck owing 10 the ne

SIGNED AT
POINT OF
BAY0NET'

Washington. Dee i3-Sonsational DIS
closures concerning the situation IN Corea
growing out Of the Japanese protectorate
are expected soon. Homer T. Hubert
envoy from the Emperor OF Corea, has re-
ceived a cablcgram from that ruler which
is startling IN It's revelations concerning
the circumstances surrounding the extern
sion OF the protcctorate.
Tho cablegram ia said TO have been pri-
yately sent 10 avoid Japanese espionage.
in brief. II declares that the Emperor
was forced at the point of japanese bayo-
nets TO consent 20 the prOtcctorats. and
that ho Is now virtually a prisoner in his
palace, surrounded by soldiers. The cable
gram Is a protest against the protector
ate
Some time ago Mr. Hubert presented a
letter from the Emperor. which Secretary
Root gave TO tho President After consid-
orinR IL they decided that Ina view of the
secrecy imposed 10y the Emperor and the
fact that since writing the letter and in
trusting 10 to the envoy he had signed
the agreement with Japan for the protec-
torato the United states government was
not called upon to interfere.
The cablegrant which was handed 10
the President Yesterday by Mr.. Hubert
Is Intended 10 meet these objections. The
Corean Emperor asserts that he eujoined
secrecy because he feared for his life, bur
since the official visit OF Prince Min. late
minister TO Paris. and his protest the ven
of secrecy is lifted and the Corean pro-
tests against the Japanese protectorate
have become public
Tho Emperor declares that the agree
ment which he signed should not be rec
ognized as valid because IL was procured
under durcss.
% The Corean ruler invokes the treaty re-
lations between the United States and CO.
rea and calls attention 20 the fact that
the United States heard only from Japan
before approving tho protectoratc. Tho
! protest is a radical disavowal and plea
for American Intervention.
