Were Expended.
FULL REPORT SUBMITTED
Details Submitted to Congress from Heads
of Departments and Bureaus. Allot—
ments for Ivestlgation in Porto Rico
and for the Board of Inquiry Into the
Conduct of the WVar.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 8.—The man-
ner in which all war funds were spent
is told in detail for the first time in
letters sent from all the departments
and bureaus to the House committee
on appropriations, and made public as
part of the report on the urgent de-
ficiency bill. _
Of the emergency Rational defence
fund of fifty million dollars, the navy
department got the largest amount,
viz., 829,97 ,274. Of this the depart-
ment proper spent $17,706,884, mainly in
buying ships; bureau of yards and
docks. $1,038,480; equipment, $1,290,883;

steam engineering, $430,613; supplies
and accounts, $211,484; medicine and
surgery, $37,000; Marine Corps, $106,529.
The navy has a balance of $275,000 of
this emergency fund.
The war department expenditures of.
the emergency fund amount to $13,951.-
303, as follows: Office of secretary of
war, $116,206; ordnance bureau, $4,797,-
036; engineer bureau, $5,369,787; quart—
ermaster’s bureau, 81,988,880; medical
bureau, $1,233,693; naymaster’s bureau,
$136,944; chief signal officer, $238,890;

Secretary Hay says, in a letter to the
committee, that the state department
received $393,000, in five allotments,
from the emergency fund.
Of this amount the sum of $100,000
has been transferred to the bankers
for the department at London, Eng-
land, for the use of the peace com-
mission at Paris, and $30,000 was ad-
vanced to the disbursing officer for
the commission prior to their depart-
ure for Paris. ~
The amount disbursed by the depart-
ment, including drafts of ambassadors,
ministers and consuls, also for trans-
portation of consular oflicers. Cuban
refugees and others from Cuba, tele-
grams, etc., was $48,276.
Assistant Secretary Spaulding writes
concerning the treasury’s expenditures
ofifithe emergency fund:
“Allotments of $10,000 for investigat-
ing the administration of civil affairs
in Porto Rico have been made to this
department, all of which will probably
be expended. An allotment of $75,000
for-expenses of commission of inquiry
into the conduct of the war, has also
been made ft the treasury department.
of which $2;=,000 have been advanced
to the disbursing agent of the commis-
sion. How much more will be requir-
ed the department is unable at this
time to state.”
Peace Negotiations.
Paris, Dec. S.—-There was no joint
session of the peace commissions yes-
terday. The Spaniards are still trans-
lating the American note in regard to
the status of Spanish subjects in the
annexed territories.
As previously cabled, the eight prin-
cipal articles of the treaty are agreed
on, and all that remains is the settle—
ment of the minor points of the trea—
ty.
The latter will probably be signed
on Saturday next, for the Spaniards
are as anxious as the Americans to
finish the work in hand.
Secretary Ojeda of thevSpanish com-
mission said:
“It is very painful for. us to remain
here haggling over details, since the.
main points have been settled, and we
our
colonies. All the work will be finished
this week.
“The commercial treaty between the
'United States and Spain will be nego-
tiated upon the rc-establishment of
diplomatic relations, and the question
of Spanish ships and products in Cuba
and Porto Rico will be included there-
In.”
The Lafayette Blonument.
Chicago, Dec. S.——Thc Paris Exposi-
tion commission has received a letter

rial monument in all probability, will

Tuillerics. Premier Dupuy is said to
favor this site.
A meeting of the commission has
been called at lVashington for next
Tuesday, when the plans of the monu—
ment will be decided upon.
An enclosure from the state of W'ash-
ington for one thousand dollars, the
contribution Cof the school children of
that state, was received.

Albany, N. Y., Dec. 8.——Secretary of

Van Alstyne and William Barnes, Jr.,
of this city, who will act as the rep.-
resentatives of the Democratic and Re-
publican state committees.
They will then be sent to the various
county clerks for distribution to the
boards of election inspectors.
Belgium Can’t Oblige Us.
London, Dec. 8.——According to a spe-
cial dispatch received from Paris a
telegram has been received there from
Brussels declaring that Belgium can-
not oblige the United States in the
matter of admitting American preserv—
ed meats until the American govern—
ment shows a. willingness ,to recipro-
cate by relaxing the heavy duties it
imposes upon Belgian cloth and other
wares. ‘

A Blodified Bill to be Pressed in the:
Senate.
W’ashington. D. C., Dec. 8.———The Sen»
ate committee on the Nicaragua canal
yesterday decided upon some changes
in the bill for the construction of the

The most important change‘made is
one leaving to the president to decide
whether the bonds of the government
shall be issued to aid the construction
of the canal. or the proceeds of the
sale of the Pacific railroads be devoted
to that purpose.
The bill as now to be reported leaves
the details of the construction in the
hands of the Maritime Company, as
before, and will contain a special pro-
visiondimiting the amount Of cash
in the United States treasury that may
be devoted to its use to five million
dollars.
Senator Morgan was authorized to
make a new report on the bill cover-
ing the changes and giving much his-
torical data concerning the projected
enterprise.

CURRENT COM MENT-
Gen. Joe Wheeler insists that the
Cubans are better soldiers than is coh-
Inonly sup-pdsed. Gen. W'-heeler is an
intelligent and truthful man, but this
is a pretty tough story.
Happy is the war president who can
send congratulations in equal meas-
ure to the army and the navy. Pres-
ident McKinley has had this pleasure
on both sides of the world.
The medical and commissary depart-
ments ofpthc army are discovered to be
of considerable. importance to the na-
tion. It would pay hereafter to give
them more thought in peace as well as
war. ;:
Five hundred American trolley cars,

with the same suspicion that attached
to the similar force at Manila, for no
body will suppose that they have any
but friendly intentions. We Ameri
cans are always glad to see foreign
vessels in our harbors, and Germany
cannot send too many of them.
One of the “lessons of the war” is
that the so-called naval powers of Eu-
rope should overhaul their navies and
find out just how many of their ves-
sels are obsolete. The effective
strength of a navy is not increased but
diminish-ed by loading down the navy
register with ships that ought to be
condemned, and it would probably as
'tonish every one of the European pow
ers to learn how much smaller then
navies are in effectiveness than in
numbers.
Miss Clara Barton, who is still ex-
tremely active in works of philant-hro
phy. is a remarkable woman. She was
born at Oxford, Mass, in 1830, and il
now 68. She resigned a governmem
clerkship early in the civilwar to be
come an army nurse, and in 1864 was
placed in charge of the hospitals OI
the Army of the James. In the Fran
co~Gcrman war she assisted in organ
izing the military hospitals. She la,
bored among the poor of Strasburg ‘11
1871. and of Paris in 187... The Amer

president. The year 1883 found he

South Atlantic coast.
For a number of years attempts
have been made by patriotic citizens
to have a law passed by congress to
forbid and p Inish the desecration oi
the American flag. Bills to this end
have been introduced in congress
from time to time only to slumber
peacefully in some committee-room
until the end of the term. What the
measure has lacked heretofore is a
concerted and weighty pressure upor
congress in its behalf. This the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion have undertaken to supply, am.
it is to be hoped that at their annual
session in \Vashing‘ton next Februar)
