BELGRADE, April IA. King Alex
ander has arrested the Regents and
Ministers Of Servia He has de-
clared that he has attained his ma
jority. and has assumed the gov
ernment Of the country.
The arrests were made ct a grand
banquet given at the palace to cele-
brate King Alexander's success in
passing the examinations prescribed
for Servian students. At midnight,
while the festivities were in pro-
gress, the King proclaimed that he
had attained his majority and had
assumed the government of the
country. When the deposed regents
and ministers heard the proclama-
ticn tkey were Gumbfounded. The
King and advisors acted promptly
and the soldiers il waiting placed
the regents and ministers under
arrest. The army is loyal to the
King. Long before daybreak the
King proceeded to the barracks
where he was received with joyous
acclamations and expressions o.
loyalty. The new ministry was ap
pointed with NJ. Doketch as prime
minister. This morning the King
issued a decree dissolying tn
Skupshtian, and writs for q nev
election were sent to various con
stituencies. The act Of Alexsnde
appears to meet with the approva
of the populace.

NEW NAVAL DEPARTURE.
Gunboats with Halls Shsatbed Ia Wooden
Pianking, aud why.
tBy telegraph TO the Dispatch


WASHINGTON, May H.--Secretary Her bert
to-day took step that marks q radical
change in the policy OF the Navy Depart
ment in the matter of the construction OF
small cruisers. After mature consideration
and full discussion with the Board of Bu-
reau Chiefs. he has directed that two OF the
three l.200-ton gunboats authorized By
Congress DO constructed of the composite
type.
For many years the Construction Bu-
reau of the department, and notably Cap
tain Hichborn, the assistant chief Of the
bureau. have urged upon the department
and upon Congress the ACCESSIBILITY of
sheathlng tho cruisers intended for service
in foreign waters, particularly those that
would probably be sent 10 tropical waters.
where the marine growth Is incredibly
rapid upon the bottom Of steel vessels.
But because of the larger first cost OF
sheathing to vessels Congress mas made 1t
impossible to carry out this idea by limit
ing tho appropriations very closely. In
the case OF the small gunboats there was
one resort. and that Is the oae which
Secretary Herbert Sas adopted to-day III
constructed OF the composite type.
This means that the frames OF the yes-
sells and the part of the structure above
the water-line be made of steel, but that
the hull DO covered with wood pDanking.
This wood planking in turn will be
sheathed with copper. aud thus tho vessels
will be- enabled to make long cruises in
tropical waters without going through tho
expensive process OF docking and scrzping.
The, cost OF tho composite type Is not
likely to be in excess Of the cost Of steel
vessel of similar size.
The return to the use of wooden hulls
In this day Of steel and iron ships appears
At first glance TO be out OF the line IL pro-
gress, but a. matter OF fact Secretary
Herbert has fully satisned himssll that
the composite vessels viii prove " b

The coal capacity OF tue aii-sseo' o'"s'

the case of the composite boats.
The Construction Bureau will proceed
Immediately to prepare designs 10 detaii
for the construction of the yesseis,
and Chief Wilson believes that they VIII
be completed in 100 days. Secretary Her
bert has given strict orders that the plans
be prepared in the greatest detail and IN
such form that alterations in the designs
will be unnecessary. He has found that
the first cost of new vessels Is much in-
creased by the adoption of suggested
changes as the building of the vessels goes
on. He has determined 10 economic in
this respect, and expects that CONSIDER
able saving In time also will be effected by
allowing the contractors to proceed unin-
terruptedly under the original plans.

WASHINGTON. May H.-Probably the most
important pension decision ever sent from
the Office OF the Secretary OF the Interior
TO the Commissioner of Pensions WAS filed
to-day. Ii is believed by those high IN

will reduce the payment of pensions under

ability when not of service origin 10 be
such az TO prevent the applicant from earn
Ing support by manual labor.
Secretary Hoke Smith has been con-
sidering the principle involved in this de-
cision for several weeks, and SO important
did he deem il that when II was called Ia
his attention from the P0nsiOn Board Oh
Appeals be submitted the questions In
yolyed to Acknowledgement Olney and 10
Judge Lockren. the Commissioner OF Pen
sions. both Of whom concurred IN the cor
rectness of the decision.
Raum's order. No. 1864. dated june q,
1890. required that all cases showing Q
pensionable disability under the act OF
June n. 1890, should be raGed a. OF service
origin. This order is superseded by to-
DAVIS decision. The case ihat brought
this about was that Of O soldier TO whom a
pension was granted under the law OF 1886
for slight deafness. but who was IN sound

who had no record of illness or INJURY OF
any kind during his army service.

There are few better-known men in the

of his reputed killings" of his opinions
on matters pugilistic, but very little OF
how he looks and talks.
During haf-hour's conversation with
the famous Bat one night this week
drew u mental picture of him. Here 1t
is
man probably 80 years of age, although
looking two or three years younger
about feet 9 inches tall and weighing,
say, 1875 pounds his hair dark and cropped
closely to "a well-shaped but rather round

brown, nearly black. and trimmed almost
to the corners OF tho mouth; feet and
hands small aud well-shaped.
Be wore black Derby hat and spring
suit of clothes. light in color and beauti-
fully made. He was not fiashy in any re-
spect. and yet be looked like a gambler or
spOrting-men.
He is extremely polite in manner. talks
we'll and easily. and uses very good Eng
lish. with neither more nor less slang than
would naturally bs expected.
This is the man who Is said 10 have
killed as many men as any other OF the
noted border characters and yet never u
one by unfair advantage. and who now has
q reputation rs an authority on pugilIsm
