NAVAL OFFICERS WILL
WATCH THE TSUKUGA
When the Big Japanese sattIeship
Enters Hampton Roads It VIII
Be Centre of Interest.
(By Associated Press !

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 49,
A Soodly number of American naval
officers will watch with interest the
entry into Hampton Roads of the big
Japanese armored cruiser Tsukuga.
Their interest Is explained by two
facts: first, that this ship, with n
speed of natural draft OF % knots,
which is better than any of our own
cruisers, can do. was turned out from
a Japanese shipyard by Japanese
workmen, who are just beginning ma
val construction; yet. according to
naval experts, the ship is perfect in
every detail. .alss
Second, that the Tsukuga was un
der command OF the high seas within
two years from the date her keel was
laid down in Japan. No such speed
of construction as this has ever been
attained in American shipyards. at
least where naval work was involved,
and the best British record, namely in
The case of the Dreadnought, is only
slightly better than that made by the
Japanese shipwrlghts in the building
of the Tsuliuga.

WASHINGTON. d. c., March Ia
The Secretary of the Treasury today
announced that the $30,000,000 which
was deposited in National banks the
last of September to be returned
about the beginning of February Will
not be called for Mt present. :.
Beyond saying that he was keep.
ing close watch OIL the financial
situation In New York, Mr.. Cortelyou
would not indicate what his further
plans were.
The official statement OF Secretary
Cortelyou is us follows
The Secretary of the Treasury an.
\nounced this afternoon that It Is not
his intention to fix at present a date
upon which the thirty millions addi-
tional deposits placed with existing
depository banks, secured by state.
municipal and railroad bonds. under
the terms of the press announcement
OF September 81, 1906, shall be re.
turned to the Treasury"
On October 90 last, the Secretary
OF the Treasury authorized National
banks that had government bonds on
deposit. to secure public deposits to
substitute for the government bonds,
state and municipal bonds, provided
they would use the government bonds
so released to increase their circula.
tion. Eighteen million dollars was
fixed as the limit OF this increase.
The Secretary provided, however.
that this increased circulation must

lion II month, beginning on the LIST of
March. In view of the money stua.

compliance with this order and there.
Tore has stated that banks that took
advantage OF this offer of October %
may retain their increased circula.

bonds, which ho names, for the state
and municipal they now have on de.

The presence at the White House
today of six members of the cabinet,
who came there within three minutes
of each other, gave rise to considera.
Die speculation regarding the purpose
of their conference with the Presi.
dent. The impression gained ground
that 1t was II special meeting of the
Presidents advisers to consider some
question of moment, but none of
those present would admit that his
call simultaneously with that of 9th.
ers was anything more than coinci
dence. 1t is known. however, that
some of the cabinet officers were sent
for by the President and in view of
the statement issued later in the LAY
by Secretary Cortelyou 1t is believed
the conference at least with some of
! his advisers had to do with the finan.
cial situation in New York. Those
