The Chilean cruiser O'Higgins, which it
is Understood that both the United States
and Spain are anxious to own, was named
for the son of an lrshman who became
captain general of Chile 10 years ago.
This son, Bernardo, ruled the country for
six years as dictator, and under his regime
the Spaniards were driven out of Chile,
but revolution forced him to resign in
1923. He went to Peru, and died at Lima
in 1912. The Spanish pronunciation of
the name is O-ee-geens, the second syllable
being accented.
The O'Higgins, which has been called a
battleshp, is properly an armored cruiser.
She was built for the government of Chile
by the Armstrong;, and was launched at
Elswick on May %, 1897. She was de-
signed to be the most powerful vessel in
the Chilean navy, but is out classed
in arma by both the New York and
Brooklyn of our navy. She is sheathed
with wood and coppered, which enables her
to remain at sea much longer than vessels
not so protected without getting a foul
bottom.

A Lake that Never Gives Up Its Dead.

In an article in st. Nicholas on 1.-THE
Great Lakes" the author, w. S. Harwood.
says OF Lake Superior: "Another very in
teresting, and very sad, thing about this
lake is that it never gives up its dead. Who
ever encounters terrible disaster-happily
infrequent in the tourist season-and goes
down in the angry, beautiful blue waters,
never comes up again, From those earliest
days when the daring French voyageurs in
their trim brch-back canoes skirted the
picturesque shores of this noble but reent-
less lake, down to this present moment,
those who have met their death in mid
Superior still lie at the stone-paved bot
tom. 1t may be that, so very cold is the
water, some of their bodies may have been
preserved through the centuries. Some
times, not far from the shore, the bodies
of people who have been wrecked from
fiihing-smacks or from pleasure boats over
taken by cruel squall have been recover
ed, but only after the most heroic efforts
with drag-net or by the diver. Once, in a
trip down the lakes met clergyman who,
as he passed point of land some miles
before entering the narrowing of the lake
at the 500, pointed out the place where the
Inflated 'AlgOma' went down ON the
reef some eight years ago; and as he look
ed, he said slowly: Il was at the funeral
of one man who went down with her, and
the only reason his body is not at the bot
tom to-day, with the other thirty-eight
that were lost, is because it was caught in
the timbers of the vessel and could not
sink"

Alliance with England.

In the house of commons on Monday
the parliamentary secretary for the foreign
office, George n Curzln, replying to
Michael Davitt, who asked the govern
ment whether Great Britain had offered to
lend men-of-war to the United States in
the event of a conflict between the United
States and a European power, said the
government had not made such an offer.
Answering a series of questions which Mr..
Davitt put with a view of ascertainng
whether there have been any negotiations
for an alliance between Great Britain and
the United States, or whether Great Brit
ain has offered to mediate in the Cuban
crisis, Mr.. Curzon said these questions
were of such nature that it was inexpe-
dent to reply to them.

If we are to engage in war with Spain
it is not enough that the alleged or actual
causes are satisfactory to those who pre-
dict short war, or to those who write
balance sheet of losses and gains; it must
be war that can be justified to those who
are to provide the means of carrying it on,
to those who take part in the field or on
the ocean, to those who are to meet the
continuing demands of an increased pub
lie debt, and the claims of swollen pen
sion roll, and, above all, those causes
must be so fully adequate as to defy the
scrutiny and TO command the favorable
judgment of an impartial posterty.

A supposed inspired article printed in
Madrid says: Is the United States really
wishes peace, and Spain is resolved to
maintain it, let each go half way, and the
pacfication of Cuba and the tranquility Of
Europe will be accomplished.
The presence of our war ships at Key
West together with the war measures
taken by the United States, are regarded
by Spain AS seriously prejudcal to the
policy of autonomy in Cuba, and an indi-
rect encouragement to the insurgents in
defeating the desires of both governments
for the success of that policy.
In the same spirit of friendly represen-
tation, rather than of protest, Spain has
pointed out that war by the United
States against Spain, under such crcum-
stances, would be unjustitiable before the
world and crime against humanity and
civilization. The representations con-
tanned no reference to the Maine disaster.
The Fern sailed from Key West for
Havana Wednesday, to relieve the Mont
gomery as a home for the officers engaged
in supervising the wrecking operations in
Havana harbor. 1t is stated that the
Montgomery is not withdrawn owing TO
any suggestions from Spanish sources that
her presence is not desired.

what the spanish Court of Inquiry
claims.

Capt Peral, president of the Spanish
naval court of inquiry into the cause of the
Maine disaster, granted an interview at
Havana Friday TO the correspondent of
the Associated Press.
We cannot believe, he said, that there
was an external explosion of a torpedo, for
the following reasons: A torpedo, follow
ing the line Of least resistance, must have
blown a great hole i'm the mud at the bot
tom of the harbor. No such hole was
found. A torpedo must have blown large
mass of water into the air, if exploded at
a depth of only % feet or so, or at least
have produced a wave reaching the other
ships and the shore of the harbur. We
have examined every one on shipboard or
shore who saw the explosion but no one
can be found who remarked any upheaval
of the water or big wave. A torpedo ex-
plosion always kills fish in the vicinity.
No fish were killed by the Maine disaster,
as fishermen who have known the harbor
for many years testify. To produce the
effects noted in the wreck torpedo would
have to be of enormous size, fully $50 or
200 kilos.
! am, therefore, of the opinion that the
explosion occurred within the ship. |
know and respect Capt. Sigsbee, and be-
lieve the American regulations affecting
naval conduct, which | have read and
found admirable, were carefully observed
But some things which cannot be foreseen
are bound to happen in the navy. have
been reading of the explosion on the Eng
fish ship Dolerel, which the English be-
lieve was caused by chemical combustion
in the paint used for quick drying. have
also read an English account of shells that
were found burst open because OF hardened
points that split and produced heat, thus
flashing the powder in the interior of the
shell.
As have said, do not believe there
was any carelessness on the part of the Of
ficers of the Maine. | do believe there was
an accident which could not possibly have
been foreseen.

Three New Ba'tIeships 10 he Built at n
Cost of SO,OOO,OU

Three new battleships of the stanchcst
type atloat were authorized by the House
committee on naval affairs Friday, and a
provision for their construction was insert
ed in the naval appropriation bill. At
the same time the committee agreed on a
maximum price of $500 ton for armor
plate, and increased the force of marines by
4I3 men. The new warships provided for
will be of the finest pattern. 1t will be
two years, doubtless, before they can be
placed in commission. One of them, the
committee decided, should bear the name
of the Inflated Maine. The cost, it is ex-
pected, will be about 100000 each,
though for the fiscal year covered in the
bill the amount of expenditure may not
exceed 100000 each. An important
question was raised as to whether the ex-
penditure for the new battleships should
be betrayed out of the S50,0000 900 emer-
gency appropriation, but this subject was
passed over The committee has since
decided that the cost of the three battle
ships shall be SG0OO,OOO

The Department of the south Created.

An important step for national defence
was taken by the government Friday in
orders issued by the war department Great
ing military department of the South,
including the states of South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Texas, and placing Briga-
der General w. NJ. Graham in command
at Atlanta. The territory embraced in
the new department is cut from the depart
ment of the east with the exception of the
state of Texas, which has heretofore been
a department to itself under Gen. Ora
hams command, with headquarters at
San Antonio. These headquarters will be
promptly transferred to Fort Mcpherson,
and from that point military operations on
the South Atlantic seaboard and Gulf coast
will be directed.
simultaneously with this order another
of scarcely less significance was issued,
sending artillery garrisons to man the new
coast defences. The United States des-
patch boat Fern sailed Friday from Key
West for Matanzas and Sagua La Grande,
with provisions for the reconcentrados.
James Creelman cables that the war
spirit in Spain is strong. Weyler says
that Spain is not as poor as most of the
world thinks, that declaration of war
must come from the United States, but
that America shall not have Cuba.
1t was again authoritatively announced
in Washington Saturday that the admins
tration had no knowledge of the conclu-
sions reached by the Maine court of in
quiry. Further important measures for
the national defence were adopted by the
war and navy departments Saturday. Sc
nor Polo de Bernabe, the new Spanish
minister, presented his credentials to Pres
ident Mckinley Saturday and speeches
were made expressing confidence that
friendly relations between Spain and the
United States will continue.
The apparent threat to the peace of the
world comes from more than one quarter.

naval defence is unusual, and beside our
