been delayed in transmission
1.-The burning of the battleship Mikasa
was attended by many heroic incidents.
There was not one but a series Of explo-
sions, some loud like the simultaneous re-

hension he also could amend his proposal.
Mr.. Markell replied that, having a thorough
knowledge of the situation on the isthmuS,
he had considered these matters in making
his proposal and stated he stood pat on
the same. / did not write Mr.. Balfe, be-
cause his prices were so high that it was
not necessary to longer consider him in the
matter.
As Low or Lower.
when these amended proposals were re-
ceived 1t was found that in every item but
one Mr.. Markell was either as low as or
lower than Messrs. Hudgins & Dumas.
"In making the award 1 took into con-
sideration not only the prices, but the ex-
perience Of the bidders and the organiza-
tons for the business that they now have.
l found that Messrs. Hudgins & Dumas
have had no experience in this business ex-
cept three years contract on Ellis Island
a purely local proposition; that Mr. Mar
KEEL has had thirty years experience in this
special field Of operating railroad hotels
and constructing camps on the Union
Pacific, the Illinois Central, the Chicago
Burlington and Quincy, the Kansas City
Southern and other roads; that he now has
large camps on two or three of these roads;
that he has such a large force that he can
withdraw from 1t sufficient help to prompt
ly equip the hotels we have constructed.
and will also be in a position Qf the climate
affects his staff) to keep supplying new men
from his force in the United States as ext
gency demands and letting those on the
isthmus return here to recuperate, thus
having a constant chain Of fresh employees
going to the isthmus.
In Markets Favor.
'Tn view of the fact that Mr.. Markell has
been doing for thirty years exactly this
kind Of work In the states that he will have
to do on the isthmus, 1t seemed to me that
even II his price had been somewhat
higher the company could well afford to pay
something for his wide experience in this
line OF work, as against two young men
who have had but local experience In the
city Of New York; but think, however.
that Mr.. Markets rates will average lower
than those of Hudgins & Dumas. although
that is difficult matter to determine, be-
cause no one can tell how many of each
class of meals will be served.
Permit me to express the view that. I'M
der these circumstances, 1t was not requi
site for us to invite proposals at all, al
though often in respect to railroad matters

suits can be obtained; but ! wish to call

ter of great moment. The real cause can
not be ascertained until the ship Is re-
hoated. Wild rumors in circulation that
the incident is due to discomfort in the
navy, with reference to the peace terms.
are as absurd as they are false. Such
thing is impossible in a disciplined navy.
Yesterday conference of naval officers as
sembled at my residence, and all agreed
that an accident must be the cause. i have

which is Vice Admiral Misu. to investigate
the calamity also the conduct of the cap
tain and second in command.
THE findings will be made public. The
Mikasas guns are now being removed from
