what is wrong?" was the question
on every lip, to which, as yet, there was
no answer. The officers who hurried to
and fro were mute, or gave short and
unsatisfactory replies to the inquiries
which poured in upon them. People did
not pause to reflect that even an officer
could hardly be expected to know Off
hand what was the cause of the sudden
stoppage of the engine. By and by
the captain appeared, smiling and
bland. He told them there was no dan
ger. Something had gone wrong with
the machinery; exactly what he could
not at the moment tell; but there was
TO necessity for being panic-stricken.
everything would be all right in short
time if they merely remained calm.
These and a lot of other nautical lies
which are always told on such occasions
served to calm the fears of the crowd;
and, by and by, one after another went
down to their staterooms on finding
the vessel was not going to sink i'm
mediately. They all appeared some
time afterward in more suitable ap-
Parel. The steam which had filled the
saloon soon disappeared, leaving the

ture. Finally the loud clang of the
breakfast gong sounded as IL nothing
had happened, and that did more, per-
haps, than anything else TO allay the
fears of the passengers. II breakfast
was about to be served, then, of course,
things were not serious. Still, great
many people that morning had a very
poor appetite for the breakfast served
to them. The one blessing, as every
body said, was that the weather was
SO fine and the sea SO calm. The
majority of the passengers, however,
did not notice it. After breakfast people
came up on deck. There was Il
wonderful avoidance Of hurry alike
by officers and sailors. Orders were
given calmly and quietly, and as
calmly and quietly obeyed. Officers
were still upon the bridge, although
there were no commands TO give to the
man at the wheel and no screw turning.
The hclmsnan stood at the wheel as IL
he expected at any time the order to turn
it port or starboard. All this absence
Of rush had q very calming effect
on the passengers, many of whom
wanted only a slight excuse to become
sver. general feeling of security seemed
tohave come upon all on board. Then one
and all congratulated themselves on the
fact that they had all behaved in most
exemplary manner considering the
somewhat alarming circumstances.
Nevertheless, those who watched the
captain saw that he swept the long line
Of the horizon through his glass every
now and then with a good deal of
anxiety, and they noticed on looking at
the long level line where sea and sky
met that not n sail was visible around
the complete circle. Up from the engine
room came the clank of hammers, and
the opinion was general that whatever
was amiss with the engine was capable
Of being repaired. One thing had be-
come certain, there was nothing wrong
with the shafts The damage, what
ever IL was, had been TO the engine
alone. All Of the passengers found
themselves more or less affected by the
peculiar sensation of the steamer being
at rcst-the awe-inspiring and helpless
consciousness of complete silence
after the steady throb they had become
SO accustomed to all the way across.
That night at dinner the captain took
his place at the head Of the table, bland
and smiling and polite as ever. just as
II nothing had happened; and the peo-
pie who. notwithstanding their out
ward calmness, were in a state Of Pc
cuIiar tension, noticed this with graf
flied feelings.

to repair the damage. However. even
if the accident were serious, we are right
in the track of vessels, and there is no
danger"
This was reassuring but those who
lay aw axe that night heard the ominS.a
sound OF the pumps, and the swishing OF
water splashing down into the ocean.

SPAIN MAKING CLAIMS.

1t is reported that the Spanish govern
ment is preparing schedule of the fill
clustering expeditions organized In this
country to aid the Cuhan insurgents, with
view 10 present a comprehensive claim
for damages. Evidently Spain is thinking
of the Geneva award which was the re
suit of the claims made by the government,
because the latter rot only permitted but
connived at the fitting out OF vessels for
the Confederacy which preycd upon the
commerce of the Union and engaged in
hostile encounters with its fleets.
The difference, however, between the
cases passed upon by the Geneva Commis-
sion and the claims which the Spanish gov
ernnent is said to Contemplate bringing
against the United States is as great as
that between Gay and night The govern
ment of the United States has been az
scrupu,ous in the observance Of all its
neutrality obligations toward Spain, as
Great Britain was almost reckless in dis
regarding them The judicial machinery
of the government, the revehue marine ana
even the navy have all been set in H. otion
to prevent the dispatching of what the
courts of the land haye declared to be
fiiibusteriug expeditions in the eyes Of
the law. The administration has run couu-
ter to Popular sympathy iii its rClicy, and
has pointedly ignored the expressed opinion
and wishes of the two branches OF the ma
uonal legislature with reference to this
subject 1t has done all, even to the point,
some people think, of superscrviceableness,
that could be expected OF a government
eager and anxious to live up strictly to
its obligations.
: The recent seizure of the schooner Three
Friends, is case in point. The vessel had
been known TO have conveyed cargoes OF
arms and ammunition, perhaps also men, to
Cuba to help tie insurgent cause. A reve-
nue. cutterpounce lupoI her. she was search
ed by the Officials from stem to stern with
out a sign of contrahand articles of war
being discovered, and yet the captain and
mate were taken into custo ly. This is car
rying the matter TO extremes, but IL is evil
dence OF the zeal tie government is dis.
p!a ying in the observance of its neutrality
obligations. Nothing. of course, can prevent
the Spanish government from presenting
claims in any desired number, but it would
pretenaseriousIy to entertain them.

MAY REvoLurIoN1zE NAvIEs.

While the great maritime nations of the
world, sthe United States included. are
building big cruisers and huge battle
ships, our government is constructing craft
which in the opinion OF naval experts will
cause n revolution in naval warfare, just as
did the Monitor more than thirty years ago.
The submarine torpedo boat, now being built
at Baltimore, is the instrument by means Of
which this predicted transformation will
be reflected. Other submarine torpedo boats
have been built ere this, but they have not
been able TO go down very far nor remain
under water very long. The new boat can
go down, SO ii is reported, far below the keel
of the longest battleship and stay at that
depth long enough to do her work of cestruc-
ton. Other naval powers are watching
anxiously the progress of her construction,
and elaborate reports will be made to them
by their respective naval representatives
in this country as soon as her trial trip will
have been made.
The new naval war engine Will require
but small complement of officers, engi-
neers and seamen, n bare dozen, all told,
being sufficient Electricity will be hei
. motive power, being stored in accumu-
lators; air will also be stored, and can be
further supplied by means of a suction
pump; the submersiop and elevation of the
boat viii be effcted by water ballast, and
a telescope contrivance is to afford its
sailing master the power TO look about
while submerged. Even the unnitiated
landlubber will comprehend that such a
craft, if all her functions work to perfec-
tioD, is capable OF such destruction as
hitherto has been scarcely thought possible
1t is quite Conceivable that a half-dozen
boats of this kind could blow a hostile
fleet out of water in an incredibly short
time.
This is the age OF wonders, and mans in
genuity is the greatest OF them all. While
it may be regrettable that it should be ap-
piled at all TO destructive purposes, there
is this consolation, that the more terrible
war becomes, whether on land or sea; the
greater the sacrifice OF life and treasure
that it exacts, the more certain that ma
tions will be less willing to engage in IL,
and thus from the nettIe Danger humanity
may pluck the flower Safety.
