Progress of the German Navy.

Berlin, March, admiral Holman,
commander in chief of the German
navy, appeared before the budget COM
lnittee of the reichstag today and
stated that five iron clads, ten cruisers
and % torpedo boats and other in
creases were needed to enhance the
naval strength of the empire. The
fleets of France and Russia he added
had made immense progress in re-
cent years. IN case of rxar Germany
could not confine her naval operations
to the defense of her coast but her
warships would have to cruise on the
high seas. In conclusion, Admiral
Holman declared that the fatherland
looked with great expectation to the
navy.
A government memorandum which
was laid before the committee demands
that the sum of 32S, 900, 900 marks be ap-
propriated for the purpose of replen-
ishing the navy during the coming four
years. This amount far exceeded the
sum the committee expected to be ap-
prOpria ted

Same Old Story.

Havana, March "a number of in
quiries were received here today re-
garding a report that the Spanish au-
thorities had released the captured fill
clustering schooner Competitor and her
crew and that the vessel had been sunk
by a Spanish warship after leaving the
harbor The report is totally unbound
ed. The Competitor is lying at the
anchorage here in which she was
placed after being brought here. The
men who were captured on her are still
in the Cabanas fortress and as far as
can be learned from the close-mouthed
officials there has been no change in
their condition since they were tried
and sentenced to death.

the Kentucky product; to restrict pro-
duction and reduce the present surplus
supply by closing distilleries. following
the policy of the whisky trust. The
American Spirits Manufacturing COM
pany, which purchased the properties
of the old whisky trust, does not come
into competition with the Kentucky
distilleries, but such men as Sam Rice,
president of the company, and Jules
Bach, also an officer, are among the
promoters of the Kentucky combina-
tions and will be largely interested in
the company. The Rothschilds are also
reported TO be interested in the scheme.
The company is to be capitalized to
the amount of $50, 100000.

Victoria. B. c.. March 5.-Correspond-
ence of the United Associated Presses.)
Honolulu, Feb. 25.-The Dimond di-
vorce case closed yesterday after ten
days trial Judgment was promptly
given for the husband with the custody
of the child and no alimony to the wife.
Spectators and press were excluded.
No violence on the husband S part was
proved, except that in a violent quarrel
about her conduct with a naval officer
he shot at her and threw her into a
chair. Her theatrical engagement is
understood to have contributed to de-
feat her claims to the custody of the
child. Both parties receive some sym
pathy. The wife was married at is to
a young and indiscreet husband. who
was apt to fill his house with naval
officers and other gay companions.
QUEEN ILLS POSITION.
The Royalist paper. the Independent,
discredits the Washington report that
Lilioukalani had repudiated the validi4.
~ of her act of abdication. All the{
papers have entirely abstained from
comment while awaiting further news
The general belief here is that she has
done it in order to be in a better posi-
ton as queen to ask Mr.. Cleveland to
claim for her a money indemnity for
her dethrOnement and loss of income
of crown lands on the ground, which
Cleveland admitted. that she was de-
thrOned by United States naval forces.
She wants to start her suit with Cleve-
lands endorsement. 1t is not believed
that she would resume an attitude of
open hostility to this government in
mere wantonness without specific OBJ
ject- Many persons believe when she
left here that the object of her visit
was to enter such a suit.
