CAN'T DO IT.
The Proposed Battle Ship, George
Washington, Cannot Be Built in
Year, Except at Enormous Cost.

Washington, March 6.-Senator Nor
CANS patriotic notion to have an
American warship, called the George
Washington, built, and to have it the
greatest war vessel in the world, will
not be carried out. Senator Hale to-
day received a letter from Secretary
Long on Senator Morgan's resolution
instructing the Naval Committee to as
certain the feasibility OF constructing
such a vessel. The Secretary incloses
a report made by Chief O'Neal, Of the
Bureau Of Ordnance, and a join report
by Chief Hichborn, of the Bureau of
Construction and Chief Melville, Of
the Bureau Of Engineering.
Mr. O'Neal places the cost of the
armor of such q vessel built under
such pressure at 81 ,000, 900, and of the
ordnance at 100000, while he says
that if the construction were extended
over a period of two years time the
cost of ordnance could be reduced to
$500, eco, and of armor to $1,000, 900.
He says that his bureau could do tho
work of armoring and eQuipping such
a vessel within years time, but TO do
it would have to have adequate funds
placed at its disposal. He adds that
the accomplishment would necessitate
constant work, day and night. He
thinks two years the briefest period
OF time in which the work could be
economically done. Chiefs Hichborn
and Melville unite in the following eX-
preston of opinion:
I'VE do not believe it feasible 10
construct such ship as contemplate
ed. ready for service, within year
by use of the facilities named. IL
might be possible, under the most
strenuous exertion, to accomplish this
feat in eighteen months at an enor-
nous cost, probably between SS,000,0O9
and So, 100000 total cost"
Secretary Long says that, inview OF
these reports. the department con-
clules that it is not practicable TO con-
struct the ship contemplated in the
time specified.

Spanish Newspapers Attack Him, and De-
Inand His Recall.
Madrid, March 6.-For several days
the newspapers have been violently
attacking Consul General Fitzhugh
Lee
The impartial, after remarking that
an American newspaper has insinu
ated that Gen. Lee is a member of a
syndicate desiring TO purchase Cuba,
says:
His ill-will toward Spain is so
marked that even American newspa-
pers inimicaI to Spain are remarking
it,"
The impartial calls upon the gov
eminent TO demand the replacing of
Consul General Lee, who instead of
tightening the bonds of friendship be-
tween. Spain and the United States,
daily renders the situation more
threatening"
1t adds that the next session of the
Cortes will consider Consul General
Lees conduct"
The Havana correspondents Of the
impartial says:
Among the packages Of food sent
by the Americans to Cuba the customs
officers found watches, jewelry and
other contraband articles All such
parcels were consigned to Consul Gen
eral Lee, who is said to have energet-
ically protested against such contra
band, declaring that it was without
his knowledge"
Other papers accuse General Lee of
being better disposed toward the Gu
ban insurgents than toward the Colo
NAL government"
The Spanish press, however, in no.
wise reproaches United States Minis
ter Woodford whose conduct is IRE
proachable, and who seizes every OBJ
portunity to express pacific senti-
ments."
