The NAVAL BILL.
recommends Building Battleships
and Torpedo Boats.
BY Southern Associated Press

BY Southern Associated Press
WASHINGTON, January 25.-Mr.
Talbot, (Dem.). of Maryland, to-
day submitted to the House his re-
port explaining and recommending
the passage Of the Naval Appropria
ton bill. In advocating the allow
ance of three battleships and the
twelve torpedo boats recommended
by the Secretary of the Navy, the re-
port says that after careful and ex-
haustive study of our naval needs
the committee is OF the unanimous
opinion that the additional vessels
called for should be granted. The
necessities of our geographical posi-
ton have been carefully taken into
consideration, and the committee
has been forced to the conclusion
that the continuation OF the building
OF battleships is of vital Importance.
These vessels, as represented by
those heretofore provided for, are
believed to be of class equally we'll
adapted for defensive ana offensive
operations, and are especially suited
Tor the defense OF our own coasts.

CRY OF MEXICO, January 20
The arrival of Guatemala reply to
Mexico's final demands has caused a
considerable war fever throughout
this district. AS yet, however,
nobody outside the foreign Office
has seen the reply. Rumors of every
sort arc euoat, most of them to the
effect that the Guatemalan Govern
ment covers once more the old
ground, seeking at once to evade
the issue and secure delay.
Mariscal, Minister of Foreign AT.
fairs, would say nothing of the doc
ument to-day except that it was
enormously long aud would be laid
before the cabinet meeting to-mor-
row. 4 statement Is expected from
the Government soon after this
meeting.
The war scare has taken possession
OF almost everybody, foreign and
native. Most OF the foreign minis
tiers hero are said to have informed
their governments that war is almost
inevitable. The government Is buy
ing horses and is working its small

double the usual number of men.
The manufacture of ammunition
is pressed forward with equal haste.
Tho Governor of this Federal Dis
trlct has offered President Diaz two
battalions to 90 to the front the mo
nent war shall be declared 1t is
understood, however, that the gov
ernment docs not intend to begin
the war on land. The first
hostile step, if Guatemala still re-
fuses to yield, will be to
blockade her ports. Foreigners here
express some doubt us to the eifec-
tiveness of such blockade, since
the Mexican navy has but half n
dozen small craft, manned by hardly
800 senmen and officers.
No information as to the Mexican
Guatemalan difficulty could be OBJ
tanned from any trustworthy source
this evening. 1t is expected, how.
ever, that on Monday ut the latest
the Government will declare itself.

GaACE CHURCH REcToRY.-Last
night having been appointed as the
time for the formal handing over of the
key of the new rectory to the vestry Of
Grace Church, the members and their
friends assembled in the church, and,
after prayer and the singing of e hymn,
the rector, Rev. @. E. Ball, followed by
the choir and congregation, marched
in procession TO the house. The front
door having been reached Rev. Mr..
Ball knocked on the door, demanding
entrance in the name of the Father,
Son and Holy Ghost. Mr.. Chas. Kiog,
the senior warden, thereupon opened
the door, and as the procession entered
the pax domo was said, and immediate.
Iy the first notes of the professional
hymn. "Rejoice, We pure in heart! J"
burst on the ear. The service of bene-
diction was then held, according to an
interesting programme that had been
arranged, consisting of the reading
of psalms, singing of hymns, prayers.
sc. After this all present inspected
the house and were warmly greeted by
the rector. The rectory is handsome
brick structure containing ten rooms
with all the modern Improvements;
The wood work is finished il natural
woods and handsome mantels and
chandeliers are found in each room.
Mr.. M. F. Bailey was the builder, and
he may we'll feel proud of his work, for
no more beautiful house could possibly
be built for the money expended on
this. Great credit is also due to Mr..
Frank King, who has had charge of
the work from its earliest incipiency
down to its completion and has devoted
much thought and care upon it. We
trust that it may ever be happy home
to the people of Grace Church.
