THE NEW NAVAL VESSELS.
Proposals for their Construction to b.
1nvited-PlanS for n Powerful Cruiser.


The Secretary of the Navy will, In few days,
issue proposals for the construction OF the new
naval vessels, plans for which were prepared
under the direction of the board on additional
naval vessels, Of which Commodore ]. G..
Walker was chairman. The plans were decided
upon for the four vessels for which appropria-
tions were made last year, but the Secretary
will advertise for proposals for five vessels in
stead of four, the additional vessel being the
smaller Of the two double bottomed cruisers
authorized by the naval increase act OF the last
session OF Congress. The provision making an
appropriation of 81 500 600 for this vessel calls
for cruiser of not less than $500 tons nor
more than 5000 tons displacement. Secretary
whitney took time by the forelOck and secured
plans, through Sir Nathaniel Barnaby, of the
cruiser recently built for the Spanish govern
ment by J. and G. Thompson, of Clydebank,
England, which is believed to be the fastest YES
sci OF the kind afoat The plans and drawings
are complete and work can be commenced on
her with the other four vessels. The principal
dimensions of the vessel will be: length over
all, 335 feet; beam, 4S feet 8 inches: draught,
mean, 10 feet 8 inches; displacement, 4,413
tons and indicated horse-pOwe OF 10000, with
twin screws and an estimated speed of 10 knots.
The hull will be constructed OF STEEL with dou-
Bile bottom running $50 feet, the entire length Of
the machinery space,

LoaANsPoRT, IND, August 14.-There II
great excitement over the forctble abduction
and probable murder Of Miss Luella Mabbett,
an estimable girl, who lived south of this city.
Last week Amos Green, rejected sutton for
Miss Mab6etts hand, drove In y carriage TO the
home OF the young woman, seized her forcibly,
placed her in the vehicle and carried her of:
and disappeared. Miss MaSSet s has
not been seen since the night of the abduc-
ton, and as Green had threatened TO take her
life, 1t Is believed that she has been murdered.
An organized search for the missing girl has
trail has been found leading to Wild Cat creek.
and some believe that the girls body will be
found In the stream. Thursday night Q
mob OF men, believing that Green's
mother knew the whereabouts Of her vanished
son, went to her house bent on making her dis
old wOmans neck and she was threatened with
instant death If she did not reveal the hiding
place OF the abductOr, but threats of lynching
were OF no avail. The mother refused to open
her mouth In betrayal OF her son. The mystery
OF the affair has been deepened by the disap-
Pearanee Of another Of Miss Mabbett's suitors-
John Yerkes. On the night Of the abduction
VIM. Walker made = call on Miss Mabbett's
sister, and he has since been arrested as Green 8
accomplice. Mrs. Green has also been arrested.

GEN. SEDGWICK'S MISSION.
To Report as to the Legal Aspects Of
the Cutting Case.

No request for the appointment OF a special
envoy to visit Mexico has been received by the
Secretary of State from either the govern
ment of Mexico or Minister Jackson, but
the Secretary of State has designated
A. G.. Sedgwfck, of New York, 10 pro-
coed to Paso del Norte and Chihuahua
to secure the records of court which never
publishes its records, and to look up all the
facts and study thoroughly the features OF the
Cutting case. He will report directly to the
Secretary of State, and probably no further
steps will be taken by the department until his
report is received. His journey may be ex-
tended to the City of Mexico, but this point
will be left for future determination.

Spanish versus German.
From the Indianapolis News.

Just suppose that all the years, the time and
money which has been spent in the public
school system OF this country in teaching Ger.
man should have been devoted TO teaching
Spanish. Doesn't the little threat OF trouble
with Mexico point to the vast benefit IL would
be in case Of q war with that country to have
such of the graduates of our public school sys-
tenn as would be found In the army equipped
with smattering OF Spanish, about as much,
say, as they get Of German? The manifest
advantage Of such o condition needs only
70 be stated ~ be proved. So useful
then In war, how much more useful in peace!
We are certain. to have intimate commercial
relations with the country south of us. II
Lesseps gets his canal built, some Of the rela-
lions will come quickly, and will We, Mill we.
There are At, OOO, OOO Spanish-speaking people
south OF US. Not u cent do we spend Teaching
our future merchants, soldiers, statesmen the
Spanish language, while we waste millions
yearly In teaching the language OF q country
with which, In the nature OF things, we can
never have that intimacy OF relations that
makes the knowledge OF the language of practi-
cal benefit.

Future Bond Calls.

WHAT SECRETARY FAIRCHILD SAYS ABOUT 1T.
Acting Secretary Fairchild said to-day that
no policy has been determined on by the de-
partment with regard to future calls for bonds
The call for S1O,OOO,OOO, which will mature
September 18th, was made because it was
deemed wise and expedient. Future calls will
be determined solely by the state of the
finances. While 1t is probable that second
call for SIC, 100000 bonds may be made mex
month, such action will depend entirely on the
condition of the Treasury at the time. Secre-
tary Fairchid's views In regard to the public
debt are embodied in the following statement
made by him before the Senate finance COM
mittee when the surplus resolution was under
consideration:
THE Secretary of the Treasury is fully in
accord with this resolution, SO far as it is a
declaration in favor OF applying the surplus
revenues of the government to the extinction
of the Understanding debt in such amounts
and at such times this may be prudently
aud benetcialy DONE"
Mr.. Fairchild denied in the most positive
terms the published statement that he and
Treasurer Jordan were at variance on the SUBJ
ject of bond calls, and said that the recent call
for $1O,OOO,OOO bonds was made after q con-
ference with Mr.. Jordan and with his entire
concurrence.

Capt McGrath, clerk Of the supreme court
tells good story of his war experience, going
to show that during the war, at least, the world
sometimes seemed 50 small that you were con-

whom had manned the works Immediately in

ers were supplied with rations under Gen.
Grants order, the same as their guards, but
they didn't always, or even generally, eat alone.
The Union soldiers followed with them to y
prisoners, really treated them IS old friends
and discussed the incidents Of the siege with
them with great relish. Among the prisoners
