UNCLE SAM’S FINE FLEET. The Great Waterway That Connects the Baltic With the North Sea a. \Von- derful Engineering Feat—His- tory of theVast Project. KIEL, June 20.—There was a heavy downfall of rain in the morning, and for a time it seemed likely to jeopardize the success of the canal fete.- Happily the clouds cleared away and brilliant sun- shine, accompanied by a pleasant breeze, followed. As a result, the streets were soon alive with people. Many of the streets are decorated with triumphal arches and with greetings to the emperor suspended across the thoroughfares. , Emperor William, accompanied by four of his sons, left Berlin at 11 o’clock and received an ovation upon his arrival. Nat- TIIE CANAL AND ONE OF THE BRIDGES. urally the chief center of attraction was the seaport, where the display of warships attracts many thousands of spectators. Those of the United States, Great Britain, Italy and Austria were especially admired. Large stands hidden by a profusion of flowers have been erected at the entrance of the canal. At 8 a. m. the war vessels of the 14 nations represented here hoisted their flags to the strains of the anthems of their respective countries. The official in- troduction of the foreign admirals and comihanders to the port captain and mili— tary commandant of Kiel occurred on board the Mars and concluded with the official interchange of visits. Uncle Sam’s Fine Fleet. In all there are about 52 foreign vessels, with 814 officers and 17,463 men, in the harbor. The fleet of the United States consists of the armored cruism' New York, cruisers Columbia, Marblehead and San Francisco, flagshiprunder Rear Admiral Kirkland, with 75 officers, 1,497 men and 21,747 tons displacement. , At Heltenau there was a scene of fever- ish activity throughout the morning as . the workmen put the finishing touches upon the decorations at this end of the canal. The splendor of the preparations is the object of. universal admiration. The imperial - tent is richly decorated and stands out an object of great interest to the right of the lighthouse, opposite which lies the last stone of the canal, which the emperor will lay on Friday next. In this tent his majesty will entertain the invited gueSts and will make a speech which is likely to attract much attention. The History of the Project. After the labors of eight years- and an expenditure of about 156, 000,000 marks (338, 500,000) the great canal which joins the Baltic sea to the German ocean is ready for use. It intersects the peninsula of Sleswick-Holstein from Brunsbuttol, near the mouth of the Elbe river, to Hol- teneau, on the Kiel bay and opposite to that city, a distance of about 59 miles. The entrances have been provided with dock gates for the passage of vessels both entering or leaving the canal. At the Kiel end the. gates will be generally open; at the Brunsbuttel end they will be opened in normal weather during flood tide for a period of three or four hours each day. Each of the gates is 27 1—3 yards wide, and the space inclused by its walls is 164 yards in length. The lowest possible depth of water at the Brunsbuttel end is almost five fathoms, and at Holteneau a trifle more. The dock gates or sluices are oper- ated by hydraulic power. The whole canal is lighted by electricity, said to be the longest distance in the world illuminated continuously that way. Some 5, 000 tall poles, taken from Bismarck’s oaks in the Sachsenwald, have been erected for the purpose, and each light is of 25 candle power. The light furnished is powerful enough to enable navigators to plainly dis- cern the route by night. The Rules of the Canal. Steam tugs are stationed at each main gate to the canal to assist the passage of vessels, and inside the gates are harbors for the accommodation of vessels which have to wait for passage. At the lowest possible water the canal has a depth of 4% fathoms, but 4% fathoms is the desired depth throughout. The breadth at the bottom of the canal is 24 1-10 yards. In traversing the canal vessels must be ac companied by special pilots and must- not THE CRUISER NEW YORK. exceed a speed of 5. 8-10 knots. The time thus required for the passage of the Whole canal will average ‘13 hours. Both sides of the new waterway are faced with stone up to the surface of the water, and at in- tervals of about 200 yards stone steps are let into the wall. Provision is also made for vessels to get out of the way of large ships of war which may be passing through the canal, seven widened passages occur- ring at distances of about six miles apart for such vessels to lie. Warlike Preparations Made. ,At several'points the canal is crossed by movable bridges, which when opened leave a free space of 54% yards. There’are also a number of ferries luggage wristwat- If Nerwalk, Gena, Thursday Evenidg, June 20, 1895. ed permanent railway bridges at LaVensau and Grunenthal carry the West Holstein and the Kiel-Flensburg lines across the canal. The piers of these two bridges have casemated buttresses attached,.each capable of holding 400 solidiers, and port- holes for guns wrought into the masonry in times of war would be used to prevent the enemy’s passage. Each of these two bridges has an altitude above high water level of 138 feet, admitting passage of the tallest masts. At Rondsburg vessels coming from Kiel, ‘ if they do not draw more than ten feet and are not over 100 feet in‘ length, can pass through a. lock into the Eider river and thus reach the German ocean. Larger vessels will have to follow the course or the canal. ' The purpose of the Baltic canal is a twofold one—commercial and naval. As for the commercial advantages, they result plainly enough, since the shortening of a voyage, hitherto made around the Skagel Back, is considerable. From Newcastle, Hull and London the saving in nautical miles is 107, 181, 239, respectively; from Dunkirk and other points along the French, Belgian and Dutch coasts the saving varies from 236 to 250 miles, and from Emden, Bremen and Hamburg the saving is 288, 232 and 425 miles, respec- tively. A similar saving of distance and time is effected for Baltic ports of Prussia, Mecklenburg and Russia. ' The Naval Value of the Canal. The military advantages accruing lie in the fact that henceforth in times of war the German navy cannot be rent or kept apart, and the provisioning of either the Baltic or the North shore cannot be inter- rupted or rendered impossible. To this feature of the results following the open- ing of the canal the emperor attaches the highest importance. The reichstag grant ed 1,700,000 marks ($420,000) to defray the expenses incidental to the dedicating celebration of the Baltic canal. Invita- tions to attend the ceremonies were issued to all the seafaring nations of Europe and to the United States, and. representatives of all these nations were guests of the em. peror.

OLNEYANquCUBANS l‘ho Secretary Says lie American Can Legally Aid Them. HIS ADVICE TO A CASHIER. No Bank, He Declares, May Lawfully Act as a Depository For Funds Collected to Aid the Insurgents Because Spain Is Our Friend. WASHINGTON, June 20.——Secretary Ol- ney has clearly laid down the duty of citi- zens of the United States in the observ- ance of strict neutrality as between the Spanish government and the Cuban insur- gents, not only touching armed assistance, but also as to rendering aid and encour- agement in a financial way. Mr. Olney recently received a letter from John P. Massey, cashier of the Farmers and Mer- chants’ National bank of Waco, Tex., in which Massey says: “I have been approached by alleged agents of the Cuba insurgents with the view of securing this bank’s consent to act as depository for contributions from sym- pathizers in the United States, but have withheld consent until such time as ,I could hear from your department as to whether we would, by so doing, lay our- selves liable to prosecution under the neu- trality laws. ” The Secretary’s Reply. Secretary Olney’s reply is as follows: “I have to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 13th inst., and to note the inquiries therein contained. Whether the bank or‘its officers could be criminally prosecuted under the neutrality laws of the United States because the bank had knowingly made itself a depository of funds contributed by sympathizers in the United States in support of the present Cuban insurrection is a question as to which opinions may differ, and which can be satisfactorily settled only by the adj udi- cation of the proper court. Should a. bank engage in such a transaction, and, as you suggest, publish its acceptance of such a trust to the world, it would be my duty to call upon the department of justice to test the question whether or not the proceed- ing was a crime against the United States. “It might also be my duty to suggest whether a bank holding a United States charter does not abuse its franchises and furnish ground for their forfeiture by acts in aid of hostilities against a nation with which the United States is at peace. I do not anticipate, however, that anything done by your bank or its officers is likely to promote the solution of the interesting legal questions your letter presents. You ask me not merely as to your technical legal liability, but also as to your moral obligations, adding ‘for we are all too loyal to our own country to seek to over- throw in any sense her laws.’ I heartily commend the sentiment of the quotation and am in a position to say that your moral duty in the premises does not admit of the least question. It has been ex- pounded by no less an authority than the supreme court of the United States in the , following language: “flint the Supreme Court Says.“ “ ‘Tho intercourse of this country with foreign nations and its policy in regard to them are placed by the constitution of the United States in the hands of the govern- ment, and its decisions upon these sub- jects are obligatory upon every citizen of the Union. He is bound to be at war with the nation against which the warmaking power has declared war and equally bound to conunit no not of hostility against a na- tion with wnich the government is in amity and friendship. This principle is universally acknowledged by the laws of nations. It lies at the foundation of all government, as there could be no social order or peaceful relations between the citizens of difierent countries without it. It is, however, more emphatically true in relation to citizens of the United States. For as the sovereignty resides in the peo- ple every citizen is a portion of it and is himself personally bound by the laws which the representatives of the soverei n- ty may pass or the treaties into wh ch they may enter within the scope of their delegated authority. And when that au- thority has plighted its faith to another nation that there shall be peace and friend- ship between the citizens of. the two coun- tries every citizen of the United States is equally and personally pledged. The com- pact is made by the department of the government upon which he himself has agreed to confer the power. It is his own personal compact as a portion of the sov- ereignty in whose behalf it is made. And he can do no act nor enter into any agree- ment to promote or encourage revolt or hostilities against the territories of a country with which our government is pledged by treaty to be at peace without a breach of his duty as a citizen and the breach of the faith pledged to the foreign nation.’ “I trust you will find the foregoing a satisfactory answer to your inquiries, and that your bank, yourself and its other offi- cers will proceed accordingly.” Missing Heiress Found In a Convent.
