BREAKwATE DEL, March THE
battleship Indiana, which left Cramps
shiDyard in Philadelphia yesterday morn
ing. dropped anchor o IF the breakwater late
this afternoon after a most successful
preliminary trial. She will be back at the
dock in Philadelphia o-morrow afternoon.
Early this morning the ship, which ar
rived here last night, put to sea again. and
was given a hard run of four hours over
the course usually chosen by the Cramps
for the builders trial course of 965 knots.
Three trips were made over the course
The first was under natural draught ac-
com plished ct speed of l41 knots The
record under half forced draught was
trife less than fifteen knots. and a third
under forced draught at 1886 knots.
The guaranteed speed OF the Indiana is
fifteen knots. The engines, which be-
haved spendidly, reached a maximum
velocity of 12S revolutions a minute. the
average under forced draught being 122
With selected coal and speeded over

battleship will average 165 knots an hour
when the official trial trip is made. The
result of to-day's trip was so far ahead OF
expectations that Edwin Craup. who has

stead of taking the run 10 sea customary
with ships on the first trial. Everybody
aboard was well pleased with the behavior
OF the Indiana. The machinery works
perfectly. She may take the place as
queen of battleships of the world.
WASHINGTON. March There appears
reason for the suggestion by Chief Naval
Constructor Hiehborn that four of the
S-inch guns of the battleship Indiana
are to be taken off, has been misun-
derstood. 1t has been assumed that the
change was recommended because 1t
wonld correct a lack of stability in the
great batteship. The chief constructor
says that the reason for the change is a
desire to tighten the vessel. The removal
Of four guns in the case of the Indiana
would result in reducing the draft by
three and half inches. Ordinarily this
would be Of small moment, but as the In
diana has no keel and is very fat
bottomed the saving means a good deal In
the ability of the ship to draw across a
shoal place and enter some of the shallow
harbors in case of stress. So it is said
that the heeling tests which have been
made with the Indiana are no indication
of suspicion touching her stability, as
the same tests are applied 10 all naval
vessels before acceptance by the Govern
ment, and in fact ale required by the
contracts.

Anglo Portuguese treaty provides that
either Government shall have the right to
lay telegraph lines across the territory of

right applies only to Governments and not
to companies. and that Rhodes is building

Baker at Managua, Nicaragua. He says
Consul Braida. at San Juan del Norte,
telegraphed TO him that soldiers have been

the result of discussion on this subject
by the Senate Foreign Relati ons Commit

that the English Government is making an

Vernon was sick in Chicago, and wrote
Kelly several letters, and in one of them

Vernon was living at the Putnam House
on Fourth avenue. The central office was
notified and Detective Crowley arrested
Vernon. He pleaded guilty in court and
said he was driven to write the letter by

present at a meeting of the House Com
