Tbe amount of tbese, less the amount io the treasury and its brooches, was $239,755,809 Wednes? day.

Washington, Nov 28 ?The Yoee mite was first commissioned April 18, 1898, she has been stationed at the ialand of Guam since the days of the Spanish war She is a 16 knot converted cruiser, of 6,179 tons displacement, and is provided with a main battery of ten 5 inch rapid firing guns and a aecondary battery of six 6 pounders and two Colt rifles She has a compliment of 18 officers and 267 men Her measure? ments are 391 feet in length by 48 feet, extreme breadth She has a mean draft of 20 feet, 1 inch Just before the outbreak of the Spanish-American war the vessel was purchased by the uavy depart? ment, fitted as an axiiiary cruiser, and rendered effective service as one of the patrol fleet, being manned in part by the Michigan naval militia. It is said that her anchorage at Guam was off the harbor of 8an Luis d'Apra, aud that owing to her drft she was obliged to lie six miles off shore The harbor is a particularly dangerous one, owing to the exist euce of a rocky shoal in the mid die and a particularly crooked cban According to the naval register, the Yosemite was manned by 18 officers and 267 men, but in her capacity as station ship not all of these were required, and undonbted ly a patt of them were ashore engaged in duties at the nival eta tion.

According to The Tageblatt'e dis? patch the home minister urged the severance of diplomatic relations with the United States and even went so far as to threaten war unless the Kentucky should be withdrawn from Turkish wtters The ministers ex? press the, belief that the European powers would not permit the United States to attack Turkey nnd that country, therefore, would be safe in taking a defiant attitude.
