EARTHQUAKE SHOOK
CRAFT INTO DEEP WATER

New York. Feb. 17.--R. w. Andrews. an
English mining engineer. who was a pas
senger on the steamship Alene. In today
from South American ports, said that n
little steamship on which he was travel
ling on the Magdalena river I'm Colon
bia, might have been aground yet but
for the earthquake on Jan. 81.
He was on his way to arranquilla on the
river craft. when she went hard aground
three days.
I'VE felt a severe shock" he said. "and
looking ashore I noticed that trees were
swaying violently and that some OF the
native houses were falling. While the
vibration lasted fish in the river kept
jumping out of the water.
"A few minutes after the first shock
there was another one, which shifted the
position OF our steamer. and we soon
found that we were I'm deep water Then
we proceeded an dlearned nothing about
the extent Of the earthquake or the dam
age done by IT,

ber the matter, and certainly should not
have given II my approval.
HEAVY STOCKHOLDERS.
IL prefer not 10 state Just at present
what my attitude Is coward asking for
the resignation OF President Gale. He
Is a heavy stockholder I'm the company
and the board OF directors have no. power
to remove him. That must be done by
the stockholders, n II Is done.
"All we could do would be 20 ask for
his resignation I would not like To state
at present whether | think Mr. Gales
usefulness az president OF the company
has been ended by the exposure of the
Borges loan"
II became known yesterday that Win
throp Coffin had rendered his resignation
as a member OF the board of directors
OF the Beacon Trust company.
II was currently reported that Mr.. Cof-
fms resignation was due 10 the exposure
of the fact that President John a. Gale
OF the trust company had loaned $3.50. 900
OF the Institutions money to Borges for
the purpose OF floating the Providence
Trust company.
Amos s. Crane has been a director OF
the Beacon Trust company for several
years lie was a director at the time the
1890. 600 pass book was issued 10 Broges
for the Provident Trust company.
Il did not know OF this TRANSACTION as
II now appears, and | do not think Mr.
Gale did. The directors meet every two
weeks I'm the summer and once a week
n the winter. The loan under discussion
was reported and approved by us after
II was all over. and we approved II, as
we did many others OF the same sort.
ut was reported TO us that loans had
been made on six notes on good security
and that the notes had been paid. Natu-
rally such correct business transaction
would meet our approval I do not think
| was AZ that meeting myself as do not
recall even that incident. We did not
know that the pass book was issued 20
the Providence Trust company"

UNCLE SAM PAID HIGH
FOR MATTRESSES USED

Savannah, Ga. Feb. T.--Assistant En-
gineer Arthur s. Cooper's cross-examina-
tion by Mr.. Osborne, Of counsel for Greene
and Gaynor, was continued on the re-
sumption OF the case in federal court yes
terdsy. The witness was asked what re-
suits had been achieved for the Savan-
nah harbor through the big contract"
obtained by Greene and Gaynor in 1892.
AT that time the minimum water depth
was IL feet. and in 1898. upon completion
OF the contract 2oi9 feet was the mini
mum.
The witness was closely questioned TO
determine the character and quality OF
the brush material along the coast that
the contractors might have found availa-
BILE for the mattresses. He answered that
all along the coast he had seen plenty OF
good brush material
When the use OF multiple mats WAS be.
gun, In 1893, the witness said. under re-
direct examination by the district at
torney. the specifications under the con-
tract had been departed from. He had
simply recommended the use OF the null
tiple 10 Capt. Carter al the suggestion OF
the foreman for Greene and Gaynor.
The mattresses put in by Messrs. Greene
and Gaynor the witness asserted. cost the
contractors nine cents a yard and cost
the government % cents. He dsclaimed
any responsibility for this. saying that
he came here after the work had begun
and knew nothing about the prices at
which It was being done until six months
later.
Mr.. Erwin explained that the dredging
work was not all done according 10 the
project and specifications. but that the
money which should have been paid for
dredging was devoted TO paying for brush
mattresses at % cents per square yard.
the result being that the channel was
never widened ss projected. Carter, he
said. could use the amount available for
any purpose, and that he converted the
stone money 10 the purchase OF brush.
