GRESHAM LAUNCHED.
England May Object to the New Lake
Cutter.

Cutter.
CLEVELAND, o., Sept 12.-The new
United States revenue. cutter, which
has been under construction at the
Globe Iron works in this city for some
time past, was launched at O'clock
this afternoon in the presence Of a
great crowd of spectators. AS the cut

The new vessel, when completed. will
take the place of the Andy johnson on
Lake Michigan.
1t Is possible that diplomatic compli-
cations will arise between the United
States and Great Britain over the
maintenance on the Great Lakes of the
revenue cutter Walter O. Gresham.
British naval experts hold, after a
careful examination of the plans Of the
vessel, that she should be classed as a
warship rather than as a revenue cut
ter, and that her maintenance on the
lakes would be violation of the treaty
entered into by the United States and
Great Britain, where only one war YES
sci can be maintained on the lakes by
each government. It Is known that
the naval attaches of the British en-
bassy at Washington have made a conn
plete report to their government in
which tHcy cIaSSed the GreSham as a
gunboat Should complaint be made
the government will respond that the
Gresham has been built for services
on the lakes, simply for revenue ma
rine service and for nothing else The
