LAST STATEMENT SHOWS One
and half BILLION In GOLD.
Events in Financial World Show Grad
uaI Return of Confidence and Restor-
ing of Normal Conditions in the
Banks-Great Increase in Gold to
rcuIaton-Panama Bonds.

New York, Dec. 10.-The events Of
the last week in the financial world
have been such as usually mark the
gradual return of confidence and the
restoration of normal conditions in the
banks. The decision of the secretary
OF the treasury to issue only about
$40,000,000 of the $1,000 900 III new
securities which he expressed a will
ingness to issue if conditions required;
the disclosure of unusually strong re-
serves by country banks reporting to
the comptroller of the treasury; the
decline in the currency premium, and
the Improvement in the New York
bank statement have all been features
of the week which have tended toward
stability and reinsurance.
The action of the secretary of the
treasury in limiting the issues of Sc
curities was part of the original plan
recommended to him to meet the stu
alton by a resolute and adequate meas
ure, but to carry the execution of the
measure no further than circumstances
required
The result of limiting the issue of
the Panama per cent bonds to $685.
100000 and the one-year treasury GER
tificates to about $15.0O0,O00 will be to
considerably simplify the problem OF
the treasury management and money
market conditions during the spring
1t is anticipated by iar-sighted bankers
here that there will be a plethora OF
money soon instead of dearth, and
that it will be necessary to reduce In
some way the large volume of currency
brought into use during the crisis.
The increase in money in circulation
outside the treasury, as shown by the
monthly statement of the treasury de
partment for November, was $131,S72,
SS7. OF this amount the increase il
gold in the country is computed a.
about $72,000,000, including domestic
production as well as Importation!
from abroad. The other principal form
of increase is in bank circulation, il
which an increase of 81, 533, 521 was OBJ
tanned by the disbursement of banl
notes held in the treasury, and s46
237,730 was obtained by actual in
crease in the notes issued by the con
troller and outstanding.
There have been fears in some quar-
tiers that if anything approximatinl
4 $100,000.000 in new bank notes wer
issued upon the securities of the one
year certificates the result in imitation
would be to hold gold in large amount
after the credits issued by the Gro
movement were exhausted This dar
ger will be reduced TO minimum b.

treasury, and If small amounts in gol
should be exported it is felt that the

ARMS SHIPPED TO CUBA.
Secretly Struggled and Troops are
Now Searching for Them

Havana. Jan. 2. 5000 A statement IL
made here that several thousand rifles
and machine guns represented TO nave
been landed in Pinar del Rio province
and hidden In the woods near Marlel'
have been as secretly taken away. The
recent movement Of troops and police,
which was considered mysterious in the
light of Governor Magoon's statement
that there was no fear of an uprising
in Cuba, is explained by this announce
ment, as it is known that the move
ment was in the nature of search Tor
these arms. The possibility OF clash
between Cubans and American troops
is considered remote, as their rotations
are good. The natives, however, are
plotting against one another.
Just who is responsible for the ship
ment OF the arms into Cuba is not
known. One theory is that the arms
were purchased by the former liberal
junta IN New York and shipped too
late to be used in the last movement.
1t is feared that the arms are now in
the possession of the negroes in the
province. There are Indications that
it is going to be difficult to repress dis
order by the growing bands of negroes,
who are burning corn fields and tobacco
barns, robbing estates and stealing
,attle.

FAvoRs RAISING SALARIES.
Senate Committee May Restore the
Amendment Rejected by House.

Washington, Jan. 2.-The sub COM
mittee of the senate committee on ap-
preparations, which, for the last week,
has been considering the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill, has considered the question of in
creasing the salaries of senators and
representatives., and now it seems prob
able that the sub committee will recon-
mend an advance of 90 per cent on con-
gressional salaries. The sub committee
is practically unanimous in the opin-
ion that such an increase should be
made, but there is a general feeling
that the house should have inserted the
provision.
1t also looks as if the committee
would recommend that the provisions
for increasing the salaries of the vice
president, speaker and cabinet officers
should be eliminated unless CORE
spending increase is secured for senators
and members of the house.
Many members of the committee
think the senate should be given an OPP
portunity to pass on the subject, and
will advocate the incorporation of an
in the bill by the commit
tee covering the entire subject.

NEGROES GO TO ISLANDS.


Washington, Jan. THE Ninth and
Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fifth in
fantry, including all the negro soldiers
IN the regular army in this country,
have been ordered to prepare for service
in the Philippines, and will sail at
different times between March and
June 5 OF this year. The only other
regiment composed of negroes - the
Twenty-fourth infantry--is now doing
service in the Philippines. Other
troops ordered to the Philippines are
the Sixth cavalry and the Eighteenth,
Twenty-sixth, Twenty-ninth and Thir-
tieth infantry. The troops which will
be relieved by the sending of these new
regiments will be the Fourth, Seventh
and Eighth cavalry and the Ninth,
Thirteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth and
Nineteenth infantry.
1t was stated by Major General Bell,
chief OF staff, that the negro regiments
are being sent to the Philippines be-
cause it is their turn to go and not be-
cause of any desire to get them out Of
the United States at this time.

LIFE RATS
WASHED ASHORE
Steamer City of Panama Believed To
Be Lost at Sea.
Fate of Ii6 Passengers and Crew
May Be Sealed - Vessel Sailed
From San Francisco December
81 for Isthmus-- Terrible Storms
Have Been Raging.

| San Francisco, CAL, January 5.-A
dispatch to the Call from Santa Cru,
says that message received late last
night from Waddell Beach, on the coast
40 miles north OF here, says that the
Pacific Mail steamship City Of Panama
has been wrecked and that most of the
JIG persons on board are believed TO
have persisted. The message states
that four life RATS have been washed
ashore fully proyisioned.
The City OF Panama left San Fran
cisco on December 81 for Ancon. ON
the isthmus of Panama.
Two Of the life RATS were found at
Waddell beach and two few miles
farther south. All were plainly
marked "City Of Panama. They con-
tanned stores such as are thrust into
boats which put off from wrecked
ships. One of the RATS contained
box Of crackers and cask of water. In
the boats were also found oars and
boathooks. Two of the RATS were
iashed together with ropes.
Terrific storms have been raging and
1T is deemed impossible that any RATS
which may be ahoat can survive the
storm The impression prevails that
every one Of the so passengers and So
members Of the crew who left San
Francisco has persisted.
1t is believed that the City of Pana-
ma encountered severe storm shortly
after leaving San Francisco and that
she put out to sea. Returning closer
to shore to continue her trip to the
south. she met with another storm.
which rendered her helpless. Whether
she was torn to pieces by the gale or
iriven ON the rocks is not known.
Below Waddell beach wreckage is
irifting ashore in vast quantities.
Ranchers are patrolling the shore,
watching for bodies which may drift
upon the beach.
San Francisco local mariners refuse
o believe that the City of Panama has
oeen wrecked. They believe she Is in
distress in the storm and that her life
boats were washed overheard.

RAILROAD is NOT LIABLE
Employers Liability Act Declared Con
trary to Constitution.

Louisville, Jan. 2. = Judge Walter
Evans, in the Federal court today, de-
cared the employers liability act I'M
constitutional. The decision was given
in the case of the administrators of N.
o. Brooks VS.. the Southern Pacific rail
way, and is believed to be the first
handed down in connection with this
act.
The alleged cause of action occurred
IN Kansas. The husband of the plain
tiff was killed in railroad accident
and suit was brought under this act for
$50, 900 damages and an amount suffi-
Gent to cover the cost of expenses Incl
dent to death. The court holds that
the act in effect would regulate COM
merce within the state as we'll as inter
state commerce and is therefore uncon-
stltutional. The demurrer of the
Southern Pacific railroad to action for
damages is sustained.

INDIANS TELL OF FRAUD.
Testify They Filed on Land Because
They Got Money For II.

Omaha, Jan. THE most important
evidence brought out at the land trial
today was that Of Harry A. Cloud, a full
blood Ogalalla Indian, graduate of
Carlisle Indian school and a grand
nephew of the famous Sioux chief, Red
Cloud. His evidence was to the effect
mat he had been solicited to make a
ming by w. @. Smoot, and that he
made the filing for the Modisettes at
hushville, in consideration of $25.
The other six witnesses today were
Indians. Their testimony was of a
similar character, and in effect that the
only reason they made the filings was
IN consideration of the $25 which was
promised and paid them and which
they understood was given them from
the Modisettes.

GENEROUS TO COLUMBIA.


Washington, Jan. 3.-After o confer
ence today with Chairman Burton, of
the river and harbor committee, Senat-
or Fulton expressed the opinion that
Oregon will be generously dealt with in
the river and harbor bill now in process
of formulation. He is satisfied that
the bill will provide for the completion
of the south jetty at the mouth of the
Columbia river, for which engineers
recommend an appropriation of 50, $780,
600. One million dollars will be ap-
propriated in cash and continuing
contract will be authorized for the bal
ance, so that the work may be pressed
to early completion and without unnec-
essary delay.
The house committee is apparently
inclined to deal fairly with the Cello
canal, though it will probably appro-
pirate less than the $750,OO0 asked for
by the engineers. If this item should
be cut materially, Senator Fulton will
cooperate with Senator Piles, of Wash
ington, and there is very fair prospect
that the amount recommended can be
by senate amendment.
