THE CASE OF THE ATLANTA.
A Public Reprimand to All Omcers
Responsible for Her Condition.

A Public Reprtmand to All Officers
Responsible for Her Condition.
Secretary Eerberts action In the case OF
the Atlanta will include a severe public
reprimand to all officers shown to have
been more or less responsible for the de-
plorable condition of the ship prior to and
and at the time she was put out Of COM
mission at the Norfolk navy yard. After
a thorough consideration Of the case the
Secretary has concluded that in view of
the uncertainty as to who should be held
directly responsible, and his inability to To-
cate the exact time when the ship was so
criminally neglected as to cause the rust
and damage to her water-tight compart-
ment doors, he will not order a court-mar-
tial, as was suggested, but instead will rep
rimand severely those officers who the Sec
retary believes were more directly respon-
sible for the state of affairs and who should
have taken means to notify the department
OF their discoveries. or else corrected the
evils and not let the ship continue going
from bad to worse. Secretary Herbert will
also take occasion to promugate more
stringent rules to govern the inspection OF
ships at sea. and also to direct more par
ticularly the duties of captains of yards
with reference to the custody Of vessels
out Of commission.

To Improve the Naval Hospital.

The recent sale of the Wallaboat lay
lands to the city of Brooklyn has placed
10000 at the disposal of the surgeon gem
eral OF the navy, which sum. that official
says, he proposes. with the APPROVAL of Sec
retary Herbert to expend in improving the
naval hospital, and with the aiiition of an
appropriation Congress will be asked to
make to add two sick wards to the present
structure, to modernize the service and put
1t on a footing with other large hospitals
Of the country. The present hospital was
built fifty years ago and is entirely irad-
equate for the demands of the service 1t
is the largest in the navy. but is still be-
hind the advances made in other hospitals
for caring for the sick in large numbers.

THE MEXICAN BORDER.
Ownership OF the Sheep still an I'm
determined Question.

The situation on the lower Rio Grande in
regard to the disputed island is unchanged.
and the Mexican custom house officials are
still under arrest by the United States au-
thorities. The sheep which were driven
back on the island are being guarded by a
force of United States troops, pending a
diplomatic settlement of the question in
dispute. That an important principle of
jurisdiction is involved is indicated by the
fact that the President and Secretaries
Gresham and Lamont are taking an active
part In the pending negotiations. Secretary
gresham had long conference with Gen.
Schofieid on the subject at the State De-
partment yesterday afternoon, with a view
to the immediate determination of the
ownership OF the sheep. as that is the GEN.
tral question of the controversy A special
dispatch from San Antonio says: There
seems to be no doubt that the dispute5

Action of the State Department.
On information received by Mai. Gen
Schofeld from Gen. Wheaton Commanding
the department Of Texas. that the owner
OF the sheep on the disputed island in The
Rio Grande near Havana is q citizan of
the United States the State Department
has assumed charge Of the case of this
country In the boundary dispute and will
proceed on the basis of Gen. Wheato,'s
statement. Gen. Wheaton was directed to
nave his officers at Havana ascertain tba
name OF the rightful owner Of the flock
and to what country he claimed aiiay,,no.
ana ne has reported by telegraph that
1homas Salinas owns the sheep, and furfh
ermore, that he is citizen of this country
and voter in Starr county, Tex. The
State Department hesitated in beginning
aipiomatc negotiations in the matter unIiI
tnis information could be secured. II ia
probable that the United States will enter
protest against the action of the collector
OF customs at Matamoras in sending armad
men into the United States to seize sheen

HELD IN BOND.
War Materials Which the Navy Wants
Released.


Mr.. Voorhees, of the finance committee
has introduced a resolution in the Senate
providing for the free delivery to the Navy
Department of a number of piercing
shells and ammunition which were pur-
chased from foreign dealers during the
trouble with Chile over the Baltimore af-
fair. When these munitions Of war arrived
the occasion for their use had passed and
the Baltimore incident was closed. The
articles were placed in bonded warehouses,
and have remained there ever since. There
was money enough to pay for the ammu-
milton and there was money enough to pay
all the other expenses. but 1t appears there
is no fund available out of which the duty
on these goods can be paid.
Articles imported for the use of the gov
ernment are subject to the customs laws
the same as articles imported for the use
of individuals. The Navy Department now
wants to distribute these shells among the
different war ships, and has applied to
Congress to authorize their delivery with
out the payment OF duty.

THE FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS.
The Proposition for Their Repeal t
Come Up in the House.

VO"c CP =" tHc 1hVUSc'
The democrats of the House expect to
take up the proposition to repeal the fed
eral election laws the first thing next week
and there will probably be an interesting
partisan fight over it.
This fight will probably serve several pur-
poses. They expect to accomplish the re-
peal Of the law. This will Indicate TO the
people on that side of the question that
the party in Congress in moving in the d.
rection pointed out by the platform and
the partisan character of the debate, which
is bound to be had on the question. will be
apt to tighten the party lines and get the
majority In better temper to stand to-
gether. Members Of the same party have
got in the habit, through the discussion on
the silver question where party lines
counted for nothing. Of taking sides against
each other. They will not be apt to be di-
vided in this way on the federal election
question.
