Congress is legislating for the American
display to be made at the Paris interna-
tional exposition in 1900. In the appropri-
alton bill i do not see any provision for
banquets to be given by the American
commissioners, but 1t is fact that ban
quets form one of the largest items of ex-
pense at worlds fair. l am told on COM
petent authority that at the Chicago fair
the official banquets cost not less than Sl,-
900, 600. The Russians gave one which
cost 500, 900 and the Japanese one which
cost about $4,000. The cost of the ban
quets which the government will have to
give at Paris in 1900 is estimated at 1850,
900. There must BIO a banquet to the COM
missioner general of France and his aides.
There must be another to the commission
ers of the various nations. A third will
have to DO given to various international
officials. Minor banquets will be necessary
to another grade of French authorities All
this Is in accordance with the traditions.

WARSH1P REPAIRS
Commodore Farquhar, formerly chief OF
the bureau Of yards and docks Of the navy
department, now in command of th&a Nor
folk navy yard, was in conference via h the
naval officials today. He reported that the
finishing touches have been put on the
monitor Puritan and that she is in fine con-
dition for service. 1t is expected that A1e
Puritan will leave soon for Port Royal
S. c.. at which place it has been reported,
the navy department will locate a fleet
of torpedo boats, which may be called on
for assistance either by the fleet at Hamp-
ton Roads or that at Key West, should
necessity arise. The monitors which it has
been said will compose the fleet, include the
Amphitrite, Terror, Miantonomah and
Puritan.
The armament Of the Mayfower, pur-
chased by the navy department during the
present week, is still under considerations
by the naval officers. Capt O'Neill. the

the commandant of the New York navy
yard. The yacht now carries several rapid
fire guns and the probability is they will be
supplemented by a few others Of four, five

Several torpedo tubes may be fitted on the
vessel although it is said she is rather
slow for torpedo service.

be taken to New York. The magnificent
first class battleship Oregon has left San
Francisco for her trip along the Southern
Pacific coast. This fact was reported 20
the navy department today and her des-
tination was set down as Callao, Peru.
This latter fact caused surprise, as it Was
generally expected the vessel would stop at
Acapulco, Mex, and probably at some
other place. Her trip to Callao is an un-
usually long one without stop. The state
ment is made that the Oregon will await |
orders at Callao.

PREFERS PEACE
Blanco Wants the Fleet to Keep
Away

away
NEW YORK, March ia dispatch to
the World from Madrid says: Captain Gen
eral Blanco, from Havana, has given proof
that he is as anxious for peace as the
Madrid ministry. He cabled from Havana
advising the government to postpone the
departure of the Spanish flying squad
ron" of torpedo boats. He advised that 1t
should not on any account proceed further
toward the United States than the Canary
islands. The order to hold the fleet there
was not, however, sent wholly at General
Blanco's request.
The United States government made no
official representations on the subject, but
Admiral Beremjo, minister of marine,
wanted the torpedo fotilla held at the
Canary islands until it could be Joined
by the first-class armored cruiser 1nfanta
Maria Teresa sister ship Of the Vizcaya,
because the torpedo vessels and destroyers
started on short notice and were not in
full war trim.
They were not supplied with adequate
ammunition. Holding the fleet half way
across the Atlantic until the big cruiser
of Spain could join it with fresh ammuni-
tion and act as escort and protector was,
therefore, probably the real reason.
Marshal Blanco complains that Madrid
lingo newspapers have hampered him in
parleying with the rebel chiefs.
