THE ARGONAUT.
Description of the Submarine Boat
Launched Yesterday.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 20.-The Argo-
nut, the submarine boat launched yes
terday at the yards of the Columbian
Iron Works, is one Of the most unique
ever constructed. 1t is intended for
commercial work, increasing the explo-
ration of the bottom of rivers, lakes
and bays, and even seas for wrecking
work.
The cigar-shaped hull has two big
iron wheels attached to it near the
bow. The edges Of the wheels are COR
rugated like those of a cogwheel. A
smaller wheel of a similar character is
attached to the boat at the stern. The
wheels are intended to enable the vessel
and other bodies of water, the propeller
of the vessel supplying the necessary
motive power.
The boat will be so arranged that div
ers can come in and go out of the yes
sci while she is on the bottom Of rivers.
She is thirty-six feet long and nine
feet in diameter, built of steel and
strongly ribbed, to resist the water
pressure. She is propelled, when on
the surface, by a gasoline engine of
thirty horsepower. Her speed is es-
timated at eight miles an hour on the
surface and about five miles on the
bottom She will have fuel-carrying g
capacity for run of about 1000 miles.
The crew will consist of captain, en-
gineer and four divers. 1t is claimed
that one man can handle her if nee

SOUNDING THE POWERS.
Woo1ford's Inquiry Relating to the
Cuban Question.

LONDON, Aug. 20-The Daily
Graphic" publishes the following from
Berlin:
General Stuart Woodford, the newly
appointed Minister to Spain from the
United States, has been instructed by
President Mckinley to ascertain the
limit of neutrality of the European
Powers In the event that the United
States should decide on an offensive
policy against Spain, and he has been
in communication with the various
American ambassadors on the subject.
Colonel John Hay, the American En-
bassador to Great Britain, has received
no encoura cement from Lord Salisbury.
NJ Hanatoux the French Foreign Min
lister, has refused to discuss the matter
with Horace Porter, the American En-
bassador to France. and for some days
avoided granting an audience to Gen.
eral Woodford.
AS a last resource General Woodford
and General Porter telegraphed for Mr..
White, who has joined them. Mr..
White who is the clevereSt American
diplomatist in Europe, knows better
than any one in President Mckinley s
Cabinet the futility of the step now be-
ing taken. He has avoided even men
tioning it to the German Government,
and went to Paris resolved to do all in
his power to dissuade General Wood
ford and General Porter from any
course but one Of moderation toward
Spain.

GOLD IN PLENTY.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-The World

capitalist, who is largely interested in
many enterprises with John Cudahy of
Chicago, is in the city. He was one
of the originators of the $50, 900 900
company formed by Mr.. Cudahy and
others to develop the Klondike terri
tory. Talking to a reporter he said:

plenty of gold there. 1t cannot be

limited facilities for transportation, it
is impossible that more than five thou

there this year. That is a very liberal
estimate. The divide will be closed in
very few weeks, and those who do not
succeed in crossing it before that time
will have to turn back to the settle

cold or starvation.

CALIFORNIA NAVAL MILITIA.
Report of Ensign Stone Received
at the Navy Department.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-The Navy
Department has received reports from
the naval officers designated to inspect
the drills of the California naval mlilIla
during the annual course. Ensign
Stone reports to the division at San
Francisco in substance as follows:
1.-THE character of the armament is
modern and efficient, except the l6-lnch
smooth bore muzzle-loaders, which are
of little practical use even for drill pur-
poses. The boats are poor and meager,
having been selected from the con-
demned boats at the Mare Island Navy
Yard. Performance of duty during the
weeks cruise was excellent. Orders We're
executed with snap and good judgment,
and a lack of confusion commendable to
the organization.
| Captain S. H. Taylor of the battalion is
commended as a thorough and practical
sailor and navigator. and a good dlscl-
plinarian. The other officers come In
for a share of approval. The discipline
/ of the organization is reported to be
good. There was none of the familiarity
| between officers and men usually found
| in volunteer organizations. The crew
| was we'll organized, orderly, careful OF
salutes and respectful in their bearing
! toward officers. Not a single case OF
Iintoxication occurred during the week,
nor was there an occasion for a report
of any kind. The guns were we'll and
efficiently manned.
The report recommends that a ship OF
modern type, like the United States
Ranger, be turned over to the organiza-
! ton at San Francisco, or that the Co
manche be properly fitted up. The re-
port concludes as follows:
I'm conclusion, I would state that the
officers and men of the San Francisco
| Idivisions deserve great credit for their
work, for taking complete charge of a
ship in every detail. deck force and en-
gineer forces, not only having steam up
constantly during that time, but carry
ling on a man -of-war's routine night and
day, with the usual mount of drills
crowded into one week, and not an acci-
dent to mar the good record made
Captain Whiting of the Monadnock
reports upon the Eureka division of the
militia He says the officers and men
seem to be above the average of intelli-
gence. being mainly clerks not used to
manual labor, and their hands became
blistered, which interfered somewhat
with their work. He thinks the division
should have every encoura cement.
Lieutenants Roper, Parker and Berher
OF the Monadnock, the special order to
inspect the drill, report that the equip
ment of the Eureka division is good, the
discipline observed excellent, the gun
drill creditable. The board recommends
that a Hotchkiss one-pounder and
equipment be furnished the division.

st wish I could think that the Ameer
had nothing to do with the present dis
turbance, but, knowing the control he
has over his country, my belief is that
not one of his own immediate subjects
would venture to join in the attacks
against us unless convinced that in do
ing so he would meet with the approval
of the Ameer."
