London Has No News.

London, April 12-No information
has been received in London of the
report from Batavia, Java, of naval
battle off the Anambas islands, and
as there is no cable connections with
those islands it is difficult to see how
Batavia could have got such news be-
fore Singapore.
A dispatch to Lloyd's from Singa-
pore today practically confirms the
Associated Press first information
regarding the composition of the Rus
sian squadron which passed there
April 8. Lloyd's agent says it was
composed of seven battleships, two
armored cruisers, five unarmored
cruisers, seven torpedo boat destroy
ers, II steamers and hospital ships
and tug.

The admiralty has no information in
regard to the alleged naval battle in
progress off the Anambas islands, as
reported to a newspaper of Amster-
dam from Batavia, and does not credit
the report. The officials concede,
however, that the Japanese may have
attempted a torpedo boat attack on

It is pointed out that there is no
cable connection with the Anambas

news of fight should come from
Singapore, unless the Dutch warships
are able to communicate with Batavia
by wireless telegraphy.

President Morales made most ia

congressman, according to Mr.. Bede,
an dthey listened with close attention
to his appeals. He said it remained
for America to save the republic or
for internal revolution to cause is
ruin by the failure of the United
States to help her out of the present
troubles. Morales said that failure
of the last American congress to take
the matter up would have proved dis
astrous and brought on an immediate
revolution but for the temporary ar
rangement which President Roosevelt
has made for the collection of the

OFFICIALS NOT ALARMED.
Rebates on Government Irrigation
Supplies Are Legal.

Washington, April 12.-The opinion
of the controller of the currency,
holding that the interior department
violated the law when it took rebates
from railroads on transportation sup
plies for irrigation projects, does not
disturb the officials of that depart
ment. They believe the government
will doubtless continue to get the ben
eft of the good intentions of western
railroads regarding freight rates on
materials carried for irrigation SER
vice.
The dams and regulating works
come in most remote places, at non
competitive points almost without ex-
ception, where rates nave been ad-
justed to small business of a kind
that should make up for more mod
crate charges where water and other
competition intervene. The sudden in
crease in the volume of business at
these high rate points makes it only
fair that charges should be much less
than thoAe applicable to ordinary
traffic and especially so when the rail
roads have an interest in promoting
the reclamation service, because of
the return business that will come
from settlement. Accordingly they
offered half rates as the interstate
commerce law permits reductions to
the government
The only question involved, the in
terror department felt, was how to
make this concession directly avail
able.
Formerly, contractors, knowing that
they could have this concession, made
their bids accordingly, but last March
refund act was passed by which
any moneys received on payments
out of irrigation funds were returned
to it instead of going into the trea-
sury's general Golfers. Since then it
has been intended to have railroads
return directly to the government the
amount of this concession, and all
the department wanted of the con-
troller was his opinion as to how the
benefits of the law could best be utiI-
lied.

Objections insufficient.

| Inc supplementary report winch
was made public today takes up the
objections of the protestants and as
serts that they are not sufficient to
prevent the board from accepting the
money
One of the principal arguments Of
| the report is the claim of the commit
tee that the American board cannot
now legally return Mr.. Rockefeller's
money because the decisions of the
highest courts are to the effect that
trustees who have once accepted a
gift and assumed certain obligations
have no power to return the gift and
to absolve themselves from those OBJ
legations.
The committee holds that by re-
turning the gift, as suggested by the
protesting clergymen, the American
board would be made responsible not
only to those for whose benefit the
gift was designed, but also to the
present officers successors.
This statement refers to the fact
that the board already has used one
half of Mr.. Rockefeller's gift, which
has been actually accepted.
The committee holds that the ac-
tion proposed by rhe protestants,
namely, the return of the gift, would
have been wrong, for it would have
expressed disapprobation and condem-
nation of man when he was doing
an act of benevolence.
Contrary to Christian Spirit.
The committee says:
'"This would have been to confuse
the issue and to act contrary to the
Christion spirit. TO prevent any man
from doing good is wrong way iu
which to condemn him for evil. 1t is
wrong to condemn him when he IS
doing good deed as to commend him
when he is doing bad deed"
The committee also contends thar
the board is not organized to decide |
questions of temperance, economy or
socialism. 1t is held that the return |
of the money would be the passing OF
Judgment upon the character of the
donor and the business methods he
is alleged to have used and that this |
would be wrong to the church OF
which he is member. The committee |
adds:
"Any accusation against him could |
not in Christian courtesy be acted |
upon unless he had first been tried by
the church which indorses him as q |
in good and regular stand |
ing"
