Cuba has many sympathizers in Mexico

II think the government has broken
faith. The Catholics established Indian
schools as did the Protestant denomina-
tions, at the request Of the government,
which promised to maintain the schools
If the churches built them. The Catholics
built more schools and had more pupils
than the others because our people gave
more money for the Indians than did the
Protestants. OF course the Catholics were
entitled to larger appropriations, and If
they got 100000 and the others only $780,

assistant director Of the hospital and

results, taken together with the fact that

GIVE WASHINGTON BOATS TO BUILD
Senator Squire Believes we Can Con

Senator Squire Believes we Can Con
struct Naval Additions TO Suit
Washington, April Ex-senator Squire Of
Washington is interesting himself to Sc
cure if possible a contract for some of the
new naval vessels provided for a the last
session OF congress for his state. The
law provides that one of two battleships
and one torpedo boat be built on the Pa
citic coast, in case it should not appear
that they can not be built there except al
exorbitant rates, but makes no such spec
ifications as to any of the six composite
gunboats provided for in the act. Squire
has, however, been assured that the peo-
pie Of the western coast shall have an op-
portunity to put in bids on these boats
ALSO There is only one institution on
that coast having facilities for building
battleships, and that is located at San
Francisco, but the senator says torpedo
boats and gun boats can be constructed
on Puget sound as economically as at any
other place. The bureau of construction
and repairs of the navy department viii
have immediate control of building the
proposed vessels, and is already consid-
ering plans for them It is understood,
however, that none of the specifications
will be ready to submit to prospective bid
ders for a month or six weeks The plans
for gunboats now receiving the attention
Of the officials contemplate boats 162 feet
long, 341a feet wide, u feet draught, anG
giving displacement of 975 tons The
bottoms are to be of wood, covered with
copper two feet above the water line, ana
above the copper with steel. The keel is
to be of wood, with side frame Of steel,
and there Is to be an inside steel frame in
the hull.
There Is some doubt in the mind of Of
ficials whether such vessels can be built
for the amount appropriated, S23y,00g TO
each boat, and 1t may become necessary
to reduce the dimensions in order TO bring
the cost Of construction within the appro-
priation. The law permits the use of
steel or other metal of alloy in any Of the
proposed vessels. The name of the Kea1-
sarage will be revived for one of tho
battleships.
