Government Charters the Moro
Castle to Transport SOL
diers to Mexico.

The steamship Moro Castle Of the New
York and Cuba Mail feet. better known
as the Ward Line. has been chartered by
the first American merchantmen to be
redustioned here for that service.
She was scheduled to sail tomorrow
for Havana and Vera Cruz and when the
agents OF tho line here were notified that
she would be wanted Capt. H. A. Hun was
ordered to prepare Immediately to take
her to Philadelphia. where the Cramps.
who built her. will At her out as a trans
port. She sailed last night.
The Moro Castle is one OF the swiftest
and sturdiest of the Ward Line fleet. She
has made nineteen knots and has covered
the distance between New York and Ha-
vana in less than three days. She might
make Vera Cruz from Philadelphia in
about six days in pleasant weather. She
IL 400 feet long. with a gross tonnage of
5000. and was built in 1900.
The sailing schedule OF the Ward Line
has been upset by the taking over Of the
Moro Castle, the Esperanza and the
Mexico. and until there Is tranquility in
Vera Cruz no more steamships will he
scheduled to sail thence. The line still
has three big and swift ships left to
handle the traffic between New York and
Havana-the Saratoga. Monterey and Ha-
vana.
The MORO Castle sailed at midnight and
Is expected to reach Philadelphia at II
o'clock this morning. Capt. Hun said II
probably would require less than a day to
fit the steamship out as a transport. She
Is provsoned for a month.

fore foreign arms. once to Gen. Winfield
Scott Of tho United States. once to France
and the allies Of 1861 and twice to buc-
cancers.
Vera Cruz has suffered more than any
other city In Mexico. As far back as 1888,
when It was very small town. 1t was
captured by the buccaneers. whose force
was equal to the entire army OF many a
Latin country. Pillage and murder reigned
for days and then the pirates were driven
out. Again in 1712 Laurent and Van
Horn buccaneer kings. seized the port
and plundered II for ten days. Hundreds
Of Mexicans were killed and outrages OF
all sorts committed.
From then until we'll along In the nine
tecnth century the city had comparative
peace. But at the outbreak OF the war
between this country and Mexico 1t was
Inevitable that movements OF troops
against Mexico city must begin with Vera
Cruz.
So on March T. 1st7. a fleet appeared
bearing Gen. Scott and a small army.
While the ships bombarded the defenccs
troops were landed. They succeeded in
capturing the city after a siege OF thir-
teen days. in which there was much blood
shed. From there Scott began his trium-
phant march to the capital. winning the
victories at Cerro Gordo and Puebla on
the way.
The political conditions after the war
we're deplorablc. With the United States

WAR CLAUSE IS ADDED
TO MARINE INSURANCE
Underwriters Have a Brisk Day
Despite Change in Rates
for Mexico.

Shippers with goods TO send in or out
OF Mexico gave the marine underwriters
an exceedingly brisk day yesterday de.
spite the rates. The war clause was re-
stored to insurance policies and the
Insurance rate on shipments depended
largely upon the points touched by the
be insured.
II was practically impossible TO get a
rate on goods sent to Mexico city or any
point In the interior Of the country. One
shipment had to pay s per cent. for in'
surance from Torreon TO st. Louis. The
route Of this shipment was entirely by
rail. and there Is no real war risk except
in the 500 miles from Torreon to the
United States.
Rates from the United States to Mexi-
can ports on first class steamers were :
per cent. for three months and per cent.
for six months. All these rates were for
7. l.. .. (total loss only. This puts an
additional risk on the shipper. as II q
shipment was fired on and there was
only a partial loss, due to some agency OF
war, there would be no liability on the
part of the insurance company.
The terms were all conditioned upon
instant acceptance and might change In
a moment. The underwriters stipulated
that the insurance should not protect the
shippers against loss caused by blockade
but only by losses caused by war. seizure
or delay incident thereto. II a ship tried
to run a blockade and was fired upon or
sunk the insurance companies would face
a liability.
Each war risk was taken upon Its
merits. II the shipment was OF goods
which might be used In war and which
is consequently more liable to seizure
the rate quoted was much higher than II
the goods were some class OF merchandise
not of use In war.
The regular war clause which
is scratched out OF policies in time OF
peace, but which Is now being restored
TO policies covering shipments to or from
Mexico. IS as follows:
This insurance IL to cover only the
following risks, viz, capture. seizure.
the consequences thereof. or any at
