Was the Serpent Shoddy Ship?

Lord George Hamilton, head of the British
admiralty, has authorized Admiral Hopkins
controller Of the navy, to fatty deny Admiral
Elliots statement that the Serpent was "a
unique specimen OF the 'shoddy-built' ship"
The controller AYERS that the Serpent was
amply strong enough to bear the strain Of her
engines. The navigator doubtless lost his
course and the vessel was wrecked before her
officers were aware Of her whereabouts. Ad-
miral Richards, whose nephew was navigating
lieutenant on the Serpent, says in an interview
that he believes the vessel was damaged in
Mondays storm and was making for Corrunna,
but got out of her course on account OF the
Cape villano light being obscured. He declares
that Admiral Elliots statement is absurd.
Mr.. Burnaby, who designed the Serpent
says in an interview that ''shoddy built" ships
are impossible in the British navy. The vessels
of the Serpent class are safe, but uncomfort-
able for the crew. Mr.. Burnaby corroborates
the controllers statement that the Serpent was
not over-engined
Messrs. Harland 4 Wolf OF Belfast, makers
Of the Serpents engines, say that the engines
were of light but powerful build and were in
perfect condition.

RECIPROCITY WITH SPAIN.
speech Of the New Spanish Minister
and the President,a RanlY.

and the Presidents Reply.
Senior Miguel Suarez Guanes, the new Spanish
minister, in his presentation speech yesterday
at the White House took occasion to refer to
the principle Of reciprocity in the following
terms, first having referred to the sincere
friendship that has so long existed between the
two governments:
"The international exchange Of the produc-
uons and manufactures of each people 10
surely one of the necessary laws that are based
upon the instincts and universal needs OF the
present day. and the greater the difference be-
tween their customs, dispositions and the pro-
auctions OF their labor, so much the more me-
cessity Is 1t for nations to come closer together
and to increase their exchanges. Large trans
actions have been the beneficial result OF the
intimate relations which have so long existed
between America and Spain, and great, as Is
Wen known. IL the community OF commercial
interests that happily unites my nation and
yours To maintain those interests and to con-
tribute to their development shall be the object
OF my most soicitous care, and entertain the
hope. Mr.. President that in you and your Gov
eminent shall meet with kind and friendly
cooperation i'll the attainment OF this, my de-
sire, and that shall successfully fulfill the high
mission which has been confided to me in This
republic"
The President replied: at is most gratifying
IN thus entering upon your mission you ex-
press, In the name of your sovereign and OF
the Spanish nation, warm desire for continued
harmony Of relations and intimacy of inter-
course between the United States and Spain.
Inspired by like sentiments / count upon your
promised aid in developing the larger relations
and the closer ties Of amity and commerce
which both nations desire for their reciprocal
advantages"

The new owner, Mrs. Norton. does not intend
to occupy the entire ground with the residence
which she intends to build, plans of which are
being drawn by Mr.. W. Bruce Gray. architect
a frontage of about rs feet. II will be colonial
in style and will be quite an attractive addition
70 the architecture OF that locality.
ADDING TO RESIDENCE.
Plans for q large addition to the residence Of
Mr.. Charles Early at the northeast corner Of
Connecticut avenue and Q street have been
made by Mr.. W. NJ. Poindcxter, architect The
addition will have the same frontage as the
present house and changes viii be made 90 as to
make the entire structure a harmonious whole.
Wnen completed the house will be spacious
structure with frontage of nearly so feet Tho
main entrance will be marked by square
porch OF stone and will open into .
The north corner will bs rounded
and will be finished with an oriel window, and
at the roof line will terminate in belve-
dere. There will be bay windows on each side
OF the main entrance. The green stone which
is used with such good effect in the front of the
present house will be the material used in. the
construction of the addition. The interior will
be handsomely finished IN hard woods.
FLAT AND HOTEL BUILDINGS.
1t seems likely. especially if plans now under
consideration are carried out, that one or two
apartment houses will be erected during the
next season. 1t is believed that buildings OF
this character will yield good return upon the
money invested. This city attracts large
number of people who are in the habit of
spending the greater part of the year here.
They prefer Quieter home than large hotel
is apt to afford and they don't fancy a boarding
house. 1t is believed that what will meet the
needs Of this large and growing class of our
population are apartment houses where suites
OF five or six rooms can be obtained.
Such suite is supposed to include
the apartments desire to indulge in house.
keeping. This style OF building would be
especially adapted for ladies, and it is believed
that there would be demand for the apart
ments; at least the question is likely to BIO
practically tested. There is also just now con-
siderable attention being paid i'll some quarters
to the problem of whether new hotel buildings
would be profitable investment. Suitable
localities for such buildings are being sought
for by enterprising real estate agents and it is
possible that one more of these schemes
will materIalize by spring. Improvements are
constantly being made i'll the buildings now
used for hotel purposes, the object being
not only to add to the facilities,
but to enlarge the capacity in order to
commodate the growing business. Plans have
been prepared for extensive alterations and
Improvements in the Riggs House. which, how
ever, will not be carried out before next spring.
The plans include the building of an entire
new front, which will be much more elaborate
than the present. Changes are also contem-
plated in the interior which will increase the
number of the rooms.
1t is proposed also to eXpend a large sum of
money In retitting and improving the Metro
politan Hotel
