Offering New Japanese Loan

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 27.-Japan's new
$3.50, ,000, 900 loan probably will be Of
fered in this city ON Wednesday. The
underwriting syndicate which has now
been completed will rank as the highest
which has ever secured the flotation of
a foreign loan in the United States.
There are altogether 300 members, rep
resenting prominent financial interests
of New York, Chicago and other large
cities.
A remarkable incident was the re-
ceipt of applications here from French
applicants. The amount of French sub
scriptions to the American portion of
the loan received today could not be
definitely learned, but the bankers
united in saying that they were heavy.
No subscriptions had been awaited
from that quarter. The life insurance
companies will take a fifth of the New
York portion of the issue, or $15, ,000, ,00O.
Just how much gold will have to be
exported to settle with Japan for the
bonds will not be determined before
April or May. The new bonds were
offered for sale today on the curb mar
ket (when issued). The asking price
was SO, and 80 was bid.

MUST RETURN ORDNANCE
Cuban Authorities Notified That 1t Be-
longs to Spain

by ASSOcldIeu fTeSS
WASHINGTON, March %. - Spain
has never been able to recover from
Cuba the ordnance left there at the
termination of the Spanish-American
war, and Senior Ojeda called on Sec
retary Taft today to learn the posi-
ton Of this government in the matter
Under the terms of peace it was held
that Spain was entitled to all of the
movable ordnance in Cuba and Porto
Rico, and in the latter case it's claim
has been recognized and the ordnance
transferred. But in the case of Cuba
there appears to be some difficulty in
securing the recognition by the Cuban
government of the obligation entered
into by the United States.
Secretary Taft caused a cablegram
to be sent to Minister Squiers in Hava-
ma instructing him to notify the Cuban
authorities that the ordnance in ques-
tion remains the property of Spain,
that it was never possessed by the
United States and should be returned
to Spain.

allowed to associate and come in con-

considerable comment.
M. C. Mossman, former clerk to

not guilty of embezzlement of public
funds. Mossman was clerk under ex-
Deputy G. f. Chillingworth.
Admiral Whiting, u. s. N, who was

SUBMITS OFFER.
WILL LET FOREIGN AGENTS.
COLLECT CUSTOMS
Proposition to Place Large Percentage
of Revenues on Deposit for
Subsequent Disbursement
Among Creditors
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-Mr. Daw-
son, the American minister at Santo
Domingo, has cabled the state depart
ment to the effect that the Dominican
government has had before it for con-
sideration several plans for the satis-
faction of the claims of foreigners, and
to tide over the hiatus caused by the
failure of the senate to act on the
Dominican treaty the Dominican gov
ernment has concluded to install foreign
agents in the custom houses to collect
revenues, 45 per cent of which are to be
placed on deposit subject to disburse-
ment among the foreign creditors in the
future after the senate has had an op-
portunity to again consider the treaty.
This proposition was the subject of
conference at the White House today
between the president, Secretary Taft,
Senator Lodge, Senator Spooner' and
Acting Secretary Adee, but it was
stated that no conclusion has yet been
reached.
1t is not quite clear from Minister
Dawsons dispatch just what part he
has played in bringing about this agree
ment, but it is gathered that it has not
yet been consummated and 1t is certain
that he has not signed any formal
undertaking binding his government
1t is probable that further information
will be required as to the details before
it Is approved here.

BLOWN THROUGH
RIVER TUNNEL
THRILLING EXPERIENCE OF
NEW YORK MAN
Driven by Force of Explosion Through
Forty Feet of Water, He Mirac.
uIousIy Escapes With
His Life
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 27.-Blown
through a break in a tunnel under the
East river by an explosion today, car
ried to the surface of the water and
shot twenty feet into the air, Richard
Creedon, laborer, was rescued only
slightly hurt.
His escape from death seemed almost
miraculous. Three of his companions
were rescued in the tunnel and carried
out, all painfully but not seriously
injured. The men were at work in the
forward compartment of the railroad
tunnel under the East river, between
Brooklyn and the battery, which is to
be used eventually to connect the Man
haitian lines with the Brooklyn subway
lines. Two tubes, side by side, are in
process of construction.
The Brooklyn end Of one of the
tubes had been extended about fifteen
feet behind the end of the pier line at
the foot of Joralemon street. Twenty
two men were at work in the tunnel
when the accident happened. Creedon
and his three companions were in the
forward compartment working under
high pressure of air. In a compartment
back of them thirteen other men were
at work.
Greedon was the first to ascertain
that the roof of the tunnel was leak
ing and that the air was rushing out
into the bottom of the East river,
which was about forty feet deep above
them. With sandbags he attempted to
plug up the leak, but as he did so the
whole roof was blown out and the tre-
mendous force of the compressed cir
drove Greedon out through the hole
The upward rush of air carried him to
the surface in a twinkling, and he shot
into the air with great force Bystand-
ers quickly rescued him. He was con-
siderably bruised and shaken up, but
was not dangerously hurt.
Bystanders who saw the man shot to
the surface say that he was shot twen-
ty feet into the air from the level of
the water and that his startling ap-
pearance so severely frightened several
Italian laborers on nearby pier that
they took to fight His companions
were dragged back through the tunnel
by workmen from the next compart-
ment.

FROM PHILIPPINES
TO STUDY ENGLISH
THREE YOUNG PRIESTS ARRIVE
AT ST. VlNcENT'S
Catholic Leaders In Distant Islands
VIII Take . Course at the
Local College on Grand
Avenue

To study the English language and
American ways and methods Is the
mission of three Spanish Vincentian
priests from the Philippine islands,
who are now at st. Vincent's college of
Los Angeles. These young priests are
considered among the most promising
of the several provinces. They are the
first to be sent to this country for edu-
cational purposes.
Rev. Aurelio Fernandez Of the semi
nary of San Carlos, Cebu, has been
professor of mathematics and Latin at
the seminary the past four years. Be
fore his departure he was prefect of
discipline, in which capacity he had
charge of nearly one thousand boys.
Rev. Ramon Subiron Of Nueva Ca
ceres, island of Luzon, was professor
of Latin and the general commercial
course for the past two years.
Rev. Leandro Zaro of the seminary of
st. Vincent Ferrer of Iloilo, island of
Panay, had been stationed at that
place the past ten years, where he had
been professor Of philosophy and natu-
raj history. In this province the coll
lege facilities have been much him
dered by the attitude Of the natives
to the government, fighting being con-
tinued until the present time.
These young priests were selected by
their bishops to study the English
language and American methods. The
course in the colleges of the islands is
almost identical with the colleges of
this country, the seminary of San Car
los bestowing degrees on its graduates.
The student clergymen arrived in Los
Angeles last Monday, having made the
trip on the transport Thomas. They
express themselves as much pleased
with the place and especially the
American ways. They are all natives
of Spain, where they received their ed
ucation for the priesthood.
st. Vincent's college of Los Angeles
is rapidly being recognized as one of
the foremost Catholic colleges in this
country, as is attested by the arrival of
these priests, who will remain here
during their stay in this country, vary
ing from one to two years. A short
time ago the United States government
sent four Philippine natives to this
progressing rapidly in their studies.
