B. T. LEWIS RESIGNS.

Mr. B. T. Lewis has resigned the po-
sition of assistant to General Manager
J. ]. Frey of the Santa Fe. His resig-
nation takes effect April 1. On that
date the position of assistant to the
general manager will be abolished and
instead the place of chief clerk in the
general managers office will be Great
ed. Mr.. Dan Cain, for the past several
years chief clerk of the mechanical de-
partment of the road, will take this
place
Mr. Lewis has been connected with
the Santa Fe for several years, and
for the past eight years has held the
responsible position of assistant to
the general manager, coming to Topeka
when A. A. Robinson was general man
ager.
For the three years prior to his COM
ing here he was assistant purchasing
agent and tax and fuel agent of the
Chicago, Santa Fe & California road.
Mr.. Lewis retires from the Santa F'e

AMMUNITION AT TAMPA.
SO Carloads Sent There for Key West
and Tortugas.

Cincinnati. O., March ia special
to the CommerciaI-Tribun from Tam
pa, Fla, says:
Ammunition continued to arrive in
large quantities for the vessels of the
North Atlantic squadron, but the
cruiser Marblehead, which arrived here
Saturday under orders to load with am
munitiOn for Key West and TOrtugaS,
is still lying at anchor a quarter of a
mile from the railway dock, where she
will have to take on the cargo. 1t was
munition was the full shipment sent to
this place. Only 16 car loads have yet
arrived, but the balance is expected to-
night.
The two car loads of torpedoes and
torpedo buoys, said to be for the pro-
lection of Tampa bay, have not yet been
unlOaded.
A small vessel of the navy or one of
the revenue cutters will probably do
the work of placing these torpedOes in
position.
Government officials familiar with the
channel of Tampa bay, say that the
only protection needed would be the re-
mOval of the buoys and beacons mark
ing the channel, for the channel is so
crooked that even the shipmasters and
pilots who are thoroughly familiar with
it, would have great difficulty in finding
it without the buoys.
While coming up the bay Saturday
without a pilot, the Marblehead Scraped
on the bottom, but as the tide was quite
high, she got back in the channel with
out doing any damage Commander
McCalla of the MarbIehead has receiv-

day that the report of the naval board
of inquirywill be ready to forward to
Washington in two or three days at the

based on the divers Investigations are
nearly finished. The divers are only

the correspondent asserts, lies in such

TO DYE A FAST BLACK.

as adequate force from the local yards
can be secured for the service. 1t is
said the coal and the ammunition on
board passed with the sale to the Unit
ed States. The ammunition is not ali
of the the kind in use by the United
States navy so that the supply of am
munitiOn is a necessary adjunct to the
new ships. The other ship has been
launched, but it will take some time to
make her ready for sea.
The two Brazilian vessels will be ex-
tremely useful additions to the United
States navy in either war or peace, in
the opinion of Secretary Long. They
are steel Sheathed and cOppered, with
twin screws, and will be the first of the
cruisers in our navy to embOdy the
most useful feature of naval cOnstruc-
ton, sheathing, for which Chief Con-
StructOr HichbOrn has worked earnest
~ for many years past He finally
succeeded in having some of the small
Ter gun boats constructed on this prin-
e1ple. The AmaZonas is rated at $500
tons displacement, with an indicated
horse power under natural draught of
1000, which is calculated to develop %
knots speed. Thus while the ship is
about the size of the Charleston, she is
much faster Her armament is also
much more formidable, not so much in
cahbre, for the main battery is made
up of six 6-inch guns, but these guns,

In addition to this they have ten g.

most valuable feature, inasmuch as
1t would enable the ship to cross and
re-crOSS the Atlantic without cOaling.
Such a vessel used as commerce de-
stroyer would be vastly more effective
than what appear to be more powerful
crafts, because of their ability to get
along on long cruises without touching
in at neutral ports to coal, and thus
exposing themselves to capture.
The cruisers carry no armor in the
ordinary sense, but their machinery is
protected from the fire of guns by an
arched steel deck just below the water
line, varying in thickness from IL to
80 inches. The battery has an unus-
ual train, being arranged to fire three
ahead and three astern of the principal
guns.

TO TAKE THE COURTS WORD.
Resolution for a Senate Investigation
Defeated in Committee.

Washington, March 15.-The senate
committee on naval affairs had under
consideration the resolution inStructing
it to make an investigation of the
Maine disaster and decided by a vote
of to to postpone action for the
present. This action was preceded by a
sharp exchange of words between the
advocates of immediate action and those
who think the active investigation
should be deferred in order to permit
the administration full opportunity to
press its own investigation through the
naval board of inquiry.
After the decision was reached not to
go on with the inquiry to the extent of
summoning witnesses, it was suggest
ed that steps should be taken by the
committee to secure from the navy de-
partment all the information in it's pos
session and this suggestion was adopt
ed.
1t is understood that the postpone
ment was secured by Senator Nc
Enery's joining with the majority Of
the Republicans and that Senator
Chandler voted with the opposition for
immediate and independent inquiry.
