PRINCE TU AN IS RAISING OTHER ARMY, AN. CHINESE SITUATION Washington. IX C (Special. fVcre. ary Long today announced the coneiu fon of the long controversy over the ariee f armor plate for riavai vessels, and aa agreement with the Carnegie rid Bethlehem companies for Krupp armor at 1120 a t in, with the possible suZldtlon of royalty fees making the Maximum price Uio.ZZ a ton. The mount of armor involved Is the lanr aet ever placed at one time by the gov ernment, and is said to equal all the armor purchased by this government up o 139$. It covers the armor fur seven teen ships now in various stages of ron. traction, including eight battleshipi, hlx armored cruisers and three protect ed cruisers. The following official statement was given out concerning the agreement: "The navy department has come to eus agreement with the Carnegie and Bethlehem companies for Krupp armor tf the Brat clans amounting to 24.330 tons (or $429 a ton. The Kmpp process nvolves the Harvey patent, tha valid ity of which Is now under consideration y the courts, and it is further agreed hat the government will assume In addition any liability for the Krupp process not exceeding 124.18 a ton for Krupp royalty, and not exceeding the ' " muted States license fee of JU.20 for fHarvey royalty. The maximum price to the government Is therefore $455.52 per ton, subject to diminution in caie "W any redaction in the foregoing roy alties." The bid of these companies for this ' sdaaa of armor was M90 and the price tirtginally asked was S4i. The Mldvale company some time age tsrltbdrew Its bid, but it would have pen unable in any event to furnish fcnnor In due season for the Maine clam (? battleship. Had they not withdrawn (their bid It 1 probable that some ar- fangement might have been made for be dfistrthitlon among the three com pwtdea of the manufacture of the ar gnor other than that of the Maine class. Irhefr Wd.,. however, was of value in en- eibJlDg -the department to secure the Where large reduction.

The Mascotte dropped anchor in the ttarbor, three canoes shot out from the land. Captain Macco and a boat's crew ! went ashore and found that the copra house had been looted and that the traders home was a wreck. In the yard of the latter a big pot was till sizzling over the dying embers of a lire and In the pot were found some of the bones of the trader. The cannibals had not g"ne far. They had found in the ag.nt'a hou.-e fifteen guns and with th.e they returned for Captain Marco and Ms crew.

Both the schooner and warship returned to Komali and the native villages were Shelled. Eighty villages were destroyed by fire, 10 natives were killed and twenty taken prisoners. In June the Slaseotie put into Matty island, in the Solomon group, and iwclivy italic weui Mainto iiu ilie supercargo. A great crowd of natives, scenting a big feast, made for them and filled the air with spears. Captain Macco turned loose his Winchester and killed one of the cannibals.
