PHILIPPINES SUFFER
 TRADE DEPRESSION
Lack of Ships to Handle Commerc' Paralyzcs Business Conditions
 in the Islands.

Washington, D. C., March 10.- Trade between the United States and the Philippine Islands has been vir- tually paralyzed and business condi- tions in the islands seriously de- pressed by lack of ships to handle the commerce since the European war began.
 This situation was revealed in a letter from Secretary of Commerce Redfield to Secretary Garrison of the war department to whom Governor General Harrison had appealed for re- lief for the shippers.
 After reciting the conditions de- scribed by the governor general the letter says:
 'So long as there is no law giving us any power over any shipping, the government is powerless in the mat ter. Private and corporate interests are in control of the situation and we can do nothing"
 Reports of congested conditions in the islands said freight rates had doubled in the past ten days and that ships could not be obtained to move the products awaiting shipment at Manila.
 Prices were reported to be falling on account of short tonnage and in creased rates.

THREE BRITISH SHIPS
 SUNK BY SUBMARINES
1hhty-seVcn Lives Lost in German
 Raid iI North Sea.

London, March lO, IZ:Zo A. M,- During the early hours of Tuesday morning German submarines made their presence known at three vide ly separated points on the British i coast, and it is stated officially, without giving warning to their crews, sank three British merchant steam | CTS.
 In one case that of the steamer Tangistan, which was torpedoed off 1 Scarborough in the North Sea, thir- 1 ty-seven men of her crew of thirty l eight are missing. Only one man from the vessel was picked up, he by passing ship. The attack which sent the Tangistan to the bottom was made half an hour after midnight. i At o'clock in the morning anoth- CT submarine sunk the steamer Blackwood, off Hastings, in the Eng fish chanel, while third submersible sank the steamer Princess Victoria off Liverpool at a quarter past o'clock
 Official Statement.
 The official statement follows:
 The steamer Tangistan was sunk by a German submarine off Scarborough at 12:30 o'clock the morning of March 3. Only one man of her crew of thir- ty-eight men was saved. . "The steamer B1ackwood was sunk by submarine without warning, off Hastings at o'clock the morning of March g. Her crew of seventeen was saved.
 Sunk Without Warning.
 "The steamer Princess Victoria of Glasgow was sunk without warning by German submarine at 9:15 o'clock the morning of March g, off Liver pool. Her crew of thirty-four was saved" .s The steamers Tangistan and Black wood were cargo boats and the Prin- cess Victoria was once a coastwise passenger ship. As each of the boats was torpedoed in period of less than nine hours, it would seem probable that all three were sunk by different underwater boats.
 , Scarborough, off which port the Tangistan was sunk, is on the North Sea in Yorkshire; Hastings is on the English chanel in Sussex, and Liver | pool is virtually on the Irish Sea. Tangistan Largest of Vessels.
 The Tangistan, the largest of the i sunken vessels, was of 2,393 tons dis ! placement. She was built in 1906 and was owned by the Strick line Of swan I sea.
 l The Blackwood was built in 1907 and belonged to the Tyneside line of North Shields. She was 6 Hilton yes sel.
 The Princess Victoria was owned by M. Langlands & Sons of Glasgow. She was a steamer of 616 tons dis placement and was built in 1894

 1 The news of the latest exploits of l the German submarines came just as the British public was congratulating l themselves that the threatened Ger man sea blockade had been a failure.

BOARD
TO rule TODAY
ON PLEASANT0N

At a meeting of the liquor license
commission, scheduled for a late hour
this afternoon, the application of the
Pleaaanton hotel for selling privileges
was to be taken up again and prob
ably definitely denied. The attorney
general gave an opinion several days
ago on this matter, ruling that the
board must take action, and since the
petition does not meet the laws re-
quirements the board could hardly do
otherwise than reject 1t.
The beard was prepared to act on
the petition at its last meeting several
weeks ago, but the disclosure was
made that it did not carry the neces-
sary number Of signatures of property
owners and the petitioner then asked
permission to withdraw it, for the
purpose Of seeking to remedy the de-
feet The attorney-general holds that
permission Of withdrawal should not
be granted when 1t plainly is sought
as q means Of evading adverse action
by the commission.
The only other application which It
is understood was to be considered is
that Of s. Kubey. for general whole
sale license, somewhat similar to the
one held at present BY Joel c. Cohen.

BIG BOND SALE
TOCLEVELAND IS
NOW CERTAINTY
Change May Be Made in Detail
of $500, 600 Blocks
+. +. Delivery :.

The sale of the 100000 block Of
territorial bonds to Otis & Co. OF
Cleveland is considered closed, the
purchasers taking ii, as told in the
Star-Bulletin yesterday, at price OF
one cent above par, or s100O.10 for
every $1,000 bond. A change may be
made in the details Of the blocks de-
livery to them. however.
Treasurer Mccarthy has written
Otis e Co. suggesting that they agree
to take the bonds on March Is next,
instead Of March 5, as at present pro
posed. The first interest coupon on
the new bonds falls due March 10, and
IL the firm takes them March 5 1t
will necessitate the payment of inter-
est by the territory for the 10 days,
on the first coupons. This is an item
of small importance but would tend
to complicate the transaction and be
really not worth the bother, either for
the purchasers or the territory. While
the territory may not insist on the
brief delay Treasurer Mccarthy be-
lieyes the Cleveland people will gladly
acquiesce in It.
As already stated, the money real
lied, 100000, will be available for
public use here as soon as the paper
is delivered in New York city. The
manner and the, items on which 1t
will be spent was determined by the
legislature of two years ago. II goes
into appropriations, chiefly for the
reconstruction or extensive repair Of
three local wharyes and the approach,
wharf shed and warehouse at the
new Kuhio bay pier at Hilo.
Plans for these improvements are
either well under way or finished. In
the case Of the Hilo wharf bids are
to be opened shortly for the building
of the shed. Everything probably
will be in readiness to begin active
work on practically all these projects
just as soon as the funds become
available. BY this method the money
on which the territory will be paying
interest will be put into use and be-
gin making return for the territory
and the public at the earliest possible
moment
