Canada'S Armed Cruisers on the
Great Lakes
THE TERMS OF AGREEMENT
Interpreted on the Far Side of the
st. Lawrence
To Permit the Building of Armored Cruisers
So Long as They Are Called
Revenue Cutters
Associated Press Special Wire

NEW YORK Nov. 1I.-A special to tie
World from Ottawa, Ont, says:
Opinion on this side of the line appears
to differ from Presidens Cleveland inter-
pretation of the treaty Of 1877, regarding
the right of Canada or the United States
TO build warships on the great lakes, in
deciding against the construction OF
cruisers at Detroit.
Sir Charles Tupper, the Canadian min.
lister of justice. formerly minister OF ma.
rine, says the treaty speaks clearly for
itself. Being asked if Canada has not
infringed the treaty in constructing cruis-
ers on the lakes. Sir Charles Tupper said
they were only revenue cutters.
the treaty stipulates that the naval
forca OF each country shall consist Of not
more than one vessel, not exceeding 100
tons burden, on Lake Ontario, two such
vessels on the upper lakes and one sucn
vessel on Lake Champlain. doubt has
arisen over the clause in which it was
agreed that all other armed vessels on
those lakes should be dismantled and that
no other vessels of war should be there
built or armed.
The Canadian government has built
three armed cruisers on the lakes since
1891, the Curfew, the Constance and the
IetTel. Wak0I OF L00 JOm1ns

his report in 1893 the following descrip.

THE Curfew and her sister ships are
far superior to the ships maintained on
the lakes by the United States revenue
department. In case they were ever
needed for such a purpose, they would

officers and crew are divided by four steel
bulkheads. The coal bunkers are carried
along the sides to protect the engines and
boilers.
They are armed with three quick firing
guns, one mounted on the turtle deck
forward and one on each side of the quar-.
ter deck. The ram bow is formidable

The stem forging is very heavy and is re-
inforced with heavy plates and angles,
making it almost solid f)r some seven or
eight feet back. The Constance has q
registered tonnage of 126 TONS"
1t will be an interesting question to
solve as to how far the equipment and
armor of revenue cruiser may be car.

line is to be drawn between q revenue
cruiser available for revenue purposes
only, and one that may be put to more
severe defensive or offensive purposes

PURVIS LEFT
Without Asking Any Questions About MIrac-

PURViS, Miss. Nov. ia crowd
gathered silently around the Jail at mid
night, overpo wered the guards and a lit
tie later broke into the prison. Will
Purvis was at once set at liberty and he
lost no time in getting away.
Though many persons in this section
believe that Purvis should have gone to
the gallows, there is "a feeling OF relief
over his escape. He is one o' the white
caps who committed SO many outrages
some years ago, and was tried for the
murder of one of the men connected with
the overthrow of the whitecaps. He was
found guilty and sentenced to be hangeu.
Upon the day fixed for his execution the
ro.e was placed around his neck and the
trap sprung, but he slipped through and
fell to the ground. The people believed
it miracle and would not let the sheriff
proceed with the hanging. The case was
ken to the supreme court, and that body
affirmed the verdict of the jury. He was
to be hanged on Decem ber 18th.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-President
Thomas Estrada Palma. the head of the
Cuban revolutionary party, will come to
Washington within the next few days. 1t
IS said that his visit will result in more
definite line of policy regarding what Gu
bans will suggest or urge upon congress
as the most desirable course for the
United States to ADOPT. Thus far the
policy of the Cubans has been toward
securing from the United States recosni-
tion of the belligerent rights of the insur-
gents. Now. however, there is said to be
an influential element against this course.
They say it would prove disastrous to
American shipping, az it would permit
Spain to seize American merchant vessels
suspected OF carrying contratanc goods
cannot be made at present outside the
three mile limit OF the Cuban coast. In
stead of recognition of the insurgents. it
is being urged that the United States
should ADOPT steps to put an end to the
struggle in Cuba by forcible Intervention,
II necessary, as was proposed by Presi-
dent Grant in 1875 during the last Cuban
uprising. This question will be among
those to be laid before President Palma
when he reaches Wash:ington.

Forby of the Thurston Rifles says that
the charges brought by the Morton Riff es
of Washington that the Thurstons won
the Memphis trophy by the aid of mem
pers of the regular army posing among
them as Thurstons is basel solely upon
the fact that when the Thurstons went to
Memphis they took as their guests Lieu
tenant Van Lief and two sergeants and
corporal detailed by Colonel Bates to
go there with them to correct errors, but
the members of the regular army took no
part IN the drills. He adds that while
the Mortons bring this charge. they also
had as their geust member of the regu-
lar army for the same purpose. Sergeant
Forby also admits that the claims of the
Mortons that the Thurstons were only a
reorganization of the Omaha Guards
was absurd and arose from the fact
that two ex-members of the guards were
formerly Omaha guards.
