Philadelphia, June 4.-The cruiser
Brooklyn, which has been stationed
here nearly ten years and which at
one time was ordered to the scrap

ship Of the Asiatic squadron.
The Brooklyn was Admiral

when the Spanish fleet was destroyed
at Santiago. The ship was struck
about 20 times by shells, and its sides
still show the marks.
Several years later the essel was

year ago, work was begun on the
Brooklyn and the vessel was so com
pletely overhauled that today it is one
of the fastest cruisers in the navy.

following statement:
"The withdrawal of the foreigners
from the Tampico oil fields after the
occupation of Vera Cruz by American
forces, and the danger of returning
while military operations were in
progress, have made it impossible for
the operators of the oil wells in every
case to meet their contractural obli-
cations or to comply with the require

sible result, some Of the contracts
may be cancelled or some of the
properties may be confiscated, and the
interests re-sold.
"The matter has been brought to
the attention of the governments OF
the United States, Great Britain! and
the Netherlands. Approaching the
great injustice to the operators, who
for their safety were compelled te
leave the district and SO were unable
