None of these entertainments are more
pleasing than tfose given by the Spanish

hard-working members of both houses, who
are accustomed to study all questions of
statescraft and diplomacy for themselves,
and who do not mingle in society except so

diplomatic corps, who have been horrified
at being presented to a youth who repre-
sents SO irregular government as the re-

Mrs Cameron has persisted despite
frowns and icy glares, and today is aided
IN her chaperonage of t:,e young patriot by
Mrs. Lodge, wife Of the Massachusetts sem

Senior Quesada is a man of medium

INSPECTION OF PLATES.
Probable Radical Change in the Pres
eAt Method.

1t is expected that Secretary Herbert will
take important action In few DAYS In
connection with the inspection of steel
plates for naval vessels. It will be based
on the report OF the special board which
investigated the complaints from the New
port News constructors that steel of in
ferior quality had been supplied by the
Carnegie works for the battle ships Ken
lucky and Kearsarge. The report is a copi-
GUS statement of the facts disclosed by
the many tests made by the board, and the
detective plates are fully identified The
inquiry has demonstrated that the present
system OF inspection IS ineffective and
plates are shown to have reached the shin
YARDS that never were inspected at ali.
The board has not yet examined the plates
for the battle ship Illinois, but, as far as
1t has gone, the inquiry has revealed the
necessity for a radical change in the meth
cd of inspection. and Secretary Herbert
