BIDS FOR NEW CRUISERS.
THE NAVY DEPARTMENT ISSUES
ITS ADVERTISEMENTS

The New Craft to be of 1000 Tons
Each and an Improvement on the
Atlanta - Contractors to be Well
Paid for Speed Above Nineteen
Knots.
WASHINGTON, June 14-The navy de-
partment to-day issued advertisements in
vlting proposals for the construction of two
steel cruisers of 5000 tons displacement.
under the authority conveyed by the an
preparation act of September last. The
contractor is required to guarantee a mini
mum speed OF nineteen knots for four con-
secutive hours, and there is bonus pro-
vided Of $4,000 for every additional
quarter knot, and deduction of the same
amount for each quarter knot deficiency.
The vessels are to be completed in two
years and, exclusive of the speed bonus.
their cost is not to succeed 81, 100, 900 each.
Contractors are allowed to bid for the con-
struction of the hull and machinery or. ac-
cordlng to their own discretion, accept those
furnished by the department. The nro-
posals are to be opened Aug. 90, and the
time for the receipt of the proposals for
building three 2,000-ton cruisers has also
been extended from Aug to the same
date.
BETTER THAN THE ATLANTA.
The new vessels will be about as large
as the Atlanta, but will be much
more formidable craft, better armed. Of
higher speed, and, in fact, representing six
or seven years advancement of naval con
struction. They are patterned generally
upon the "Medea, u an English cruiser ~

GOOD FOR THE CONTRACTORS.
1t would apyear that particularly good
Inducements are held out to bidders FOR
constructing them, for the designs of tha
department are based largely upon the ner-
formance of the Medea, which is supnIied
by 10000 horsepower engines, which is
estimated to be sufficient to drive a vessaI
at twenty knots an hour. If this expecta-
tion is realized upon trial, the contractbrg
will receive the respectable bonus of
$780, 900, or 10000 for each quarter knot
above the nineteen knots they must guar
antee.
The dimensions Of the new cruisers will be
as follows: Length 800 feet breadth 40

The armament will consist of one 6-inoh

Laborers Digging a Ditch the First to
to be Attacked.
ST. PAUL, MINI, June 14.-A dispatch
from Mora Linn, says: "The treacherous
Chippewa Indians are on the war path
again and there are grave fears OF a general
uprising. Already seven Swedish laborers
have been massacred and several hundred
laborers and settlers are now hurrying here
for safety. Sheriff Nicolsen rode to town
yesterday and gave the alarm. He
also communicated with Gov
Merriam, requesting him to order out state
troops to quell the uprising. The present
trouble is the outgrowth of encroachments
by the whites upon the Mile Laos reserva-
ton. Recently contract was awarded by
the settlers to Foley Bros. of st. Paul TO dig
ditch for irrigation purposes from Mile
Lacs lake, a point on Smoke river, near
this place.
WARNED BY THE INDIANS.
When tho Indians learned that the ditch
was to be dug they came to the conclusion
that the intention was to drain the lake
and deprive them of their fishing privileges.
Notice was served by the Indians upon
the contractors warning them that il they
did not leave the territory at once they
would be put to death. The contractors
gave no heed to the warning, but came
here and engaged 800 laborers, who began
work yesterday morning at Mile Lacs.
About noon yesterday they were attacked
by party of 400 Chippewas, led by White
Snake and Great Bear. The Indians were
in full war. paint and armed with Winches-
ter rifles and tomahawks. As soon as they
saw the reds coming the laborers dropped
their shovels and fed toward this place.
SAVAGE FURY.
They were pursued by the savages, who
shot and killed seven men. Several others
were wounded, but not seriously. The In
dians scalped two men, and mutilated the
bodies of two others in fiendish manner.
The Indians who had been gathering on the
south shore of Mile Laos lake for week or
more Wednesday night engaged in
q massacre. Three of the seven victims
leave families here in destitute circum-
stances Ex-senator Fl. M. Rice of st.
Paul, Bishop Marty of Dakota, and DIR.
Whiting of Wisconsin, the commissioners
appointed by President Harrison to treat
with the Chippewa Indians, are in this city
and were to have started out next week
to negotiate with the tribe, at Mile Lacs.
CAUSED BY WHISKY.
MORA, MINI, June IA, IL p. m.-James
Chally, chief of the Snake river band, was
this morning conferred with by
Capt. Stouch. He said that the
trouble was caused by whisky,
and that there would be no general up
rising, and that the Indians desired to
maintain peaceful relations between them
selves and the whites. He said that the In
dians would assist to bring the murderer
of Magnuson to justice. The true vesion Of
the affair will soon be accurately known.
The Indians had been supplied with whisky
by lawless whites, and wAile drunk they had
made an attack. 1t is generally believed
that Magnuson was the only one who was
killed or injured. Nothing definite will be
known until tn-mnrrnW

they are now moving off as fast as means of

that large-hearted national charity which
has led countries and islands to remove
their destitute fellow-countrymen from the

Matters are, of course, as dull as they can

visit the port in week. More steamers
arrive now, but owing to quick connections
now offered passengers are not kept here
days and weeks, as they were in the
earlier days Of Panama. The sup
preston Of trains on the Panama
railroad, and the cutting out Of two
or three of the intermediate stations has
had no perceptible effect on receipts, and as
the line work is now the scene Of complete
desolation and few occupants are to be
seen, the traffic is inconsiderable. The
number Of sales by auction OF household
furniture, even in the city of Panama, is
unprecedented, and all merchandise Is dis
