What q Naval Battle COSTS.

When the last command "Actionl"
is given on board OF ship OF war
the magazines are opened, and
cartridges, shells, aud projectiles OF
every description are handed up
with lightning-like rapidity. The
final move is the battle itself Six
teen men are required to man big
gun, and the target is always the
water line of the enemy's ship. If
the ironclad be in motion, an officer
with an instrument called a range
finder calls out the distance of the
enemy, and as each new. distance is
announced the guns are adjusted
to that range.
The awful effect OF the projectiles
hurled from a battleship cannot, aud
never will be, realised by those who
have not been engaged in warfare.
The missile fred from BIN. gun
weighs 60tb, and 32fb of powder are
required to despatch it to it's destin-
alton. 1t will plough through Gin.
Of steel at close range, and on leav
ing the muzzle has a velocity of
2000ft. per second.
A ION. gun swallows up at one
gulp a charge of 250fb of powder,
and will throw a proiectile weighing
quarter OF ton with such terrific
power as to penetrate 20in. Of steel.
Its force, if applied in another
direction, would raise 1920 tons a
foot high in one second. The small
est weapons used in a man. o'-war
are the new Lee. Metford rifles. At
short distance they are capable OF
firing a steel bullet lin. in length
through 2aft. of solid oak. At a
long range they will go right
through human bone without
breaking it.
1t is small wonder that Govern
ments hesitate to break the peace
1t is calculated that a 45 minutes
engagement between two modern
battleshipss of the first class would
involve an expenditure-exclusive of
damage and loss of life-of at least
f250,000, the value of the shells and
powder spent alone amounting TO
$4,000.
One of the large American battle
ships which, at the time OF writing,
is figuring prominently in the war
with Spain, could easily FIRE S8,000ib
weight of projectiles in three quart
ers Of an hour.-CasSeWS Saturday

Lacy Arnold.

Very charming, says a gossip, is
the personality of Tama, the Japa-
nese wife of Sir Edwin Arnold.
Petite, pquante, with a dash of the
East lingering in her dark brown
eyes, the air of the Parisienne
mingles with the charm peculiar to
the land of flowers and gentle
womanhood. Lady Arnold speaks
her husbands tongue with fuency,
if with accent, and her English let
tiers bear witness to her wonderful
power of adapting herself to Eng
lish thought and expression.

Best Men at Weddings.

During the old days Of Sweden
there were several best men, and the
term was applied in its full literal
sense. The duty of the best men in
those times was to defend the groom
and his prospective bride from
rival, who, accompanied by several
retainers, was sure to appear while
the wedding procession was on its
way to church, and make stubborn
fight for the possession of the
woman. The Scandinavian warrior
considered it beneath his dignity to
court maiden's favor by gallantry
and submission, and therefore gen.
orally preferred to wait until she
was on her way to be married to
another man, when the attempt was
made to carry her off by main
strength. 1t was then that the best
men-if they were the best mem
came into good play. Hence the
"best" man OF to-day"

from the sale of the Central Pacific Railroad.
 WASHINGTON. April 2S.-The Eng fish stockholders of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, through their New York attorney, have written Represent ative Mcguire and placed in his hands a number of documents to be used in pressing the foreclosure of the Gov ernment's lien on the railroad, stating that they see no way of protecting their interests except by cooperating with the Government in forcing the fore closure of it's mortgage anG the sale of the property. They state that upon foreclosure sale the road would bring a sufficient price to pay the entire Government lien and the first mort- gage. and assert that hundreds of thou- sands of dollars are being improperly disbursed that should go primarily to satisfy the Government claim and leave a considerable margin for the stock holders They suggest their willing ness to purchase the property for enough to pay the Government claim, if no other bidder can be found to pur- chase the property for what they think it is worth.
 Acknowledgement Griggs in letter dated March 21, 1898, said: 1 have been engaged for several weeks In pre- pairing to file a bill for the foreclosure of the Governments lien on this prop erty and shall proceed to do so as soon as I can make the necessary arrange ments and prepare the case"
 Tn a letter dated March 31 he said: "The subject is under way, and as soon as I am able to confer with the Presi- dent with reference to the choice of counsel the preparation of the case will he expedited." '"

BLANCO REPORTS
 A WARSHIP AGROUND.

 Confirmed.

MADRID, April 2S.-An official dis patch from General Blanco says: Part of the enemys squadron has gone eastward. One of the American ironclads has grounded opposite Dimas. province of Pinar del Rio. and three other ships are working to float her. Spanish volunteers are watching on shore.'
 A dispatch to Fl Imparcial from Ha- vana says the insurgents attacked Artemisa, Pinar del Rio province, but were repulsed.
 WASHINGTON, April 2S.-No infor- nation of the grounding of one of our warships was received either by the President or the Secretary of the Navy tonight, and so far as could be learned no such dispatch reached the Navy De- partment An examination of the best Cuban map in the War Department fails to show any point on the coast called Dimas, the nearest approach to it being Point Diamente, on the north ern coast of Pinar del Rio province, a short distance west of Havana and in the blockaded zone. No advices from Captain Sampson regarding the bom- bardment of Matanzas were received up to late hour.

FORECLOSURE
 PROCEEDINGS Griggs Will Soon Begin a Suit Against the

Now the New Attorney-Gen- eral Intends to Collect the
 Money Due Uncle Sam
So Before the War Is over the Treasury May Be Augmented by
 About Sixty Millions.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, April 28.-The Herald s Washington correspondent says: Eff forts to secure a postponement or the
 foreclosure proceedings against the Central Pacific Railroad will not avail.
 Attorney General Griggs assured me
 this afternoon that he was giving the subject his earnest attention, and that within less than a week a Government attorney for instituting necessary
 proceedings will be appointed and re- commentators made to the court for | the appointment of a receiver.
 But for the extraordinary amount of | work devolving upon him in connection with the pending war the Attorney General would have acted before this. He now has all the papers before him and hopes to complete case for the
 action of the courts by the first of next month. He has decided upon the per l son who will be selected to represent i the Government. but he is not yet pre- pared officially to announce the ap- | pointment.
 l There has been some hope among | Congressional advocates of refunding
 the Central Pacific debt that the bill
 now pending in the Senate providing on l it's face for the sale of the road by a l commission could be passed during the
 present session. The opponents of this scheme, however, declare that the bill | in question would practically give the commissioners power to refund the debt and might leave the Government in no better position than would the passage
 of a straight refunding bill by Con- gress.
 Senators Morgan, White and Harris
 and Representative Mcguire and other | opponents of the refunding scheme are determined that the bill pending in the | Senate shall not be acted upon, and in view of the promptness in which the Attorney General intends to move there 1 Is every reason to believe that the re-
 sources of the Government will soon be
 augmented by nearly $60.000.0O0 derived

Members of the House Support the War Revenue Bill to Supply "Men, Bullets
 and Cash"
Mann (R) of Illinois made a brief

Mann (R.) of Illinois made brief speech in support of the bill.
 McClelland (D) of New York, a member of the Ways and Means Com mittee, said that the great mistake that we always made in the past when confronted by war had been to under estimate the magnitude of the task be- fore us.
 Henderson (R.) of Iowa made an elo- quent appeal to the members to lay aside party politics and give cash with out reserve to the Government to pros- ecute the war. He had believed that there would be no war, but it had come. He despised war. but the chief execu- tive had unfurled the flag, and all his brain and heart and energy should go to it's support Thus far politics had been kept to the rear. Together both sides had declared war and rallied the young men of the country.
 Let us not" said he, 'hurl them into the ranks of battle and the jaws of death with the sound of dssensions ringing in their ears. I care not how we provide the sinews of war, so that they are the least. burdensome. But taxation there must be- This step we have taken has already cut down our revenues. All our estimates are gone. We need men, bullets and cash. Let us move up like brothers. Let there be no this side, nor that side, no Re- publicaES, no Democrats. Let us fold up our campaign speeches and back up the steps we have taken by giving cash without reserve (Applause).
 Representatives Lowering of Massa- chusetts and Russell and Sperry of Connecticut also spoke. Lanaham of Texas said he had no serious obs jection to offer to the excise feature of the bill, but that the income tax and the internal revenue tax would provide sufficient revenue for all prac- tical purposes. Representative Evans of. Kentucky and Fitzgerald of Massa> chusetts, the latter making a strong de- fense of the income tax provisions pro- posed by the minority, also spoke. Representative Sherman moved that when the House adjourned at to-night's session it be to meet at 10 o'clock, which was agreed to.
 The committee then rose and at $40 o'clock took a recess until o'clock.
 The night session was occupied by | brief speeches, many of them mere pegs upon which members, under the | leave to print, could hang speeches in the Congressional Record.

Washington, April 28.
 Before the debate upon the war reve- nue bill was resumed in the House to- day an urgency war measure was passed by unanimous consent to repeal the limitations upon the purchase of quartermasters' supplies rig the eX- isting war with Spain.
 Payne (R.) of New York, a member of the Ways and Means Committee, was the first speaker on the war reve- nue bill to-day
 In the course of his remarks Payne said that in dis iplined armies and sea- soned soldiers Spain at present had the advantage, and that it was therefore the part of prudence to supply the Gov ernment "itl all the pecuniary means necessary to recruit and prepare our army for the field. He combated the opinion of Savers that $500 900, 900 would be sufficient. Our war preparations were costing $25, 5,0O0, 900 a month. With armies in the field the expenditure would be much greater.
 Wheeler (D.) of Alabama, a member of the committee, announced his oppo- sition to the bond provision, but said if it was not stricken out he would feel llDpelleQ to vote TOT the H1edSuTe Cookery (D.) of Missouri discussed the condition of the treasury. He ob- jected to the leaders of the majority side picturing to the country a bank rupt treasury in order to lay a founda- tion for bond issues.
 Dalzell (R.) of Pennsylvania, in SUD- port of the bill said that the loans pro- posed to be f1oated by the pending bill could not be avoided. He regarded the bond provision of the bill as it's most beneficient feature.
 McMillin O.) of Tennessee criticized some of the internal revenue features of the bill as especially onerous upon the poor, and argued that the wealth of the country should bear a greater proportion of the war taxes. He quoted Secretary Gage as saying that $500,000,- 900 was sufficient to prosecute the war As there were now in the treasury s2O000O,0O0 he contended that a bond authorization was unnecessary. | Hopkins (R.) of Illinois commended | the bill as the best that cold be framed to raise extraordinary revenues. Over l $55, ,000, 900 would be obtained from beer | and tobacco, articles of voluntary con- sumption. The remainder would come | from tonnage taxation and from the | stamp tax, which would fall mainly | upon the classes able to pay. The bond 1 feature of the bill had been urged, he said. by the patriotic administration which was to prosecute the war. He derided the income tax proposition of the minority and was especially causttc | in his criticism of the proposition to issue $5S, 900, 900 of greenbacks. In one | year of the civil war the greenbacks | had cost the Government $500, 100000.
