REQUEST FOR EXTRA PAY.
Employees of the Washington Navy
Yard Have a Grievance.

A petition. signed by one thousand men,
including machinists, pattern makers,
carpenters, blacksmiths, coppersmiths,
and molders. was presented to Capt. Pen
dIeton, of the Washington Navy Yard.
yesterday. to forward 10 the Secretary
of the Navy. to whom the petition was
addressed.
The petition sets forth that by order of
the commandant of the yard the en-
pioyes were ordered to work twelve hours
during the war instead of eight, which
is the legal work day, and for the extra
time they received pay at the same rate
as for ordinary working hours while all
over the country 1t is the rule and Gus
tom to pay time and half for all work
out of regular working hours.
Accompanying the petition are affida-
Wits from other yards which state that
the employees OF those received time and
a half between the hours of p. m and
6 a. m.
1t is claimed that the yard cannot COM
pete with private nrms If other than
straight time is paid. which Is untrue, the
men say, as the private firms invariably
pay their men time and a half for all
time outside of regular working hours on
week days, and double time on Sunday.
The above is illustrated by the fact that
William c. Cramp & Sons. of Philadel-
phia- were given a contract to build some
eight-inch gun carriages, and after re-
ceiving the contract they came to the
conclusion that they would be under a
loss if they filed the order so they had
the Washington Navy Yard build them
under the conditions that If the cost of
building them was more than the con-
tract price they would pay the difference,
while if less they We're to receive the bal
ance. and after they were finished it is
claimed that William Cramp * Sons re-
ceived $1,000 as profit.
Capt. Pendleton. It is said. went to Sec
retary Long and requested him to issue
an order that no work should be done
at the yard for other than straight time.
and he is quoted as saying that anyone
who does not want to work for that can
leave. as he does not want them.

LOOK FOR WAR BETWEEN SPAIN
AND AMERICA
AFTER THE "WAR OF PIRACY"
Spain Will Not Be Found on the Map

Preparations Making
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
BERLIN, March 12-(Copyright, 1881
The German press this week has given
utterance to the unanimous conviction that
war between the United States and Spain
is probable, although it is believed here
that the latter country will do everything
to avoid it.
In diplomatic circles it is said that Spain,
during the past week, sent circular note
to the cabinets of Europe to the effect that
the Spanish government hoped the rebel
lion in Cuba would be completely sup
pressed by April 1st, adding that if foreign
interference had not stimulated the in
surgents and supported them with arms,
men, money and ammunition there would
at the present moment be no insurgents
left.
So far as the correspondent has been able
to ascertain the document has not elected
any replies.
The opinion that the United States is not
honestly attempting to preserve peace and
keep the war party in control is widely
disseminated in Germany and finds ready
credence, not only in the newspapers, but
in official and diplomatic circles. One
newspaper interviewed the United States
ambassador, Mr.. Andrew d. White, and
printed his opinion that the majority of
Americans are anxious to maintain peace.
But the newspaper added that Mr.. Whites
opinion was not supported by facts, and
saying that the vote of congress was unan-
imously regarded as a clear indication that
war is coming and that the Americans
want it, Several papers predict that in
the event of hostilities Spain will disap-
pear from the map of European powers
after fierce war Of piracy" both coun-
tries not being signatories of the anti-pri-
vateer convention of Paris.
SPANISH PURCHASES
1t is well known in diplomatic circles that
Senor Sandoval. the Spanish military agent
in Germany, Austria and Scandinavia, who
returned to Berlin on Wednesday from a
trip, after having made three conditional
purchases of coasting steamers at Fieu-
men and two at Pola, with other Spanish
representatives, has been purchasing out
right or conditionally munitions and ves-
sells for use against American trade. Senior
Sandoval, in addition to the purchases re-
ferred to, which are intended for the pri-
vateer service, has placed large orders
with the Krupp Gun company during the
last six weeks, and has also appointed a
sub-agent at Trieste, to see what he can
pick UP. The Spanish agent is now at Ham
burg or Stettin negotiating for several can
non and torpedo boats, built partly for
China and partly on speculation by the
Vulcan yards. He intends to visit the
Schichau yards and the yards at Elbing
for the same purpose.
