NO MINES PLANTED.
When the Placing of Submarine Elk
pIosives Begins War Will Be Near
at Hand.

Key West, Fla, March 14.-The
United States dispatch boat Fern ar
rived here this afternoon from Ma
tanzas. The Ferns trip was unevent-
full. She reached Matanzas on Satur-
day and at once began discharging
provisioionns into lighters. On shore
a few persons had gathered, but there
was no demonstration of any KIND.
The Fern probably will go back with
more provisions about Friday.
The torpedoes and shells which ar
rived Saturday were transferred to-
day to Fort Taylor, and considerable
local excitement was raised over
rumors that they were being placed in
position. An officer who would be
connected with the work if that were
50. however, denied this report and
said:
aWhen you see these mines or tor
pedoes being placed you can make up
your mind that war is more imminent,
for however good the mine is, it is
always liable to become useless
through the action Of the water.
''We are not going to risk the use
fitness Of expensive explosives by pre-
mature submersion. All these torpe-
does can be laid in twenty-four hours. !
"Although | do not think Havana
harbor was mined, | know there are
torpedoes in Moro Castle and the ma
val arsenal that can be put in position
very quickly
The return Of the court Of inquiry is
YEARLY awaited, especially by the Of
ficers Of the Maine, who will have
been here a month next Wednesday.
The impression is growing here that
the report Of the court of inquiry will
not be presented for some time yet.

THE NEW VESSELS,
American S ilors Crlered to Take
Charge at Onre---Wlll Be Valuable
Acquisitions.

Washington, March 1.-THE re-
ported sale to the United States of
the two Brazilian cruisers Amazonas
and Admiral Breu, now neceiving the
finishing touches in an English ship
yard, was confirmed here this after
noon.
1t is learned also that Spain has not
secured the O'Higgins, and that Chill
will not sell her to Spain. 1t is said
furthermore, that Spain has not and
cannot purchase ships from either
Chilli or the Argentine Republic.
The two Brazilian vessels will be
extremely useful vessels to the United
States in either war or peace, is
the opinion of Secretary Long, who
acknowledges they have been bought
by the United States. They are steel
sheathed and coppered, with twin
screws. and will be the first of the
cruisers in our navy to embody that
most useful feature of naval construc-
ton, sheathing, for which Chief Con-
structor Hichborn has worked earnest
ly for many years past He finally
succeeded in having some of the
smaller gunboats constructed on this
principle The Amazonas is rated at
8, 500 tons displacement with an indi-
Gated horsepower under natural
draught of 1900, which is calculated
to develop twenty knots of speed
Thus. while the ship is about the size
of the Charleston, she is much faster.
Her armament is also much more for
midable not so much in calibre, for
the main battery is made up of six g.
inch guns, but these guns, as well as
the 47-inch guns, are of what Is
known as so calibres length, giving
them an unusual range and power. In
addition to this they have ten 612
Founders. four maxim guns and two
boat or field guns. The torpedo tubes
are three in number. The coal capac-
ity is $50 tons, giving the ship an eff
fective steaming radius of 5000 knots,
a most valuable feature, inasmuch as
is would enable the ship to cross and
recross the Atlantic without coaling.
Such a vessel used as a commerce de-
stroyer would be vastly more effective
than what appear to be more powerful
craft, because of it's ability to get
along on long cruises without touch
ing in at neutral ports to coal, and
thus being exposed 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 in
3.5 inches. The battery has an unus
ual train, being arranged to fire three
ahead and three astern of the principal
guns.
Orders have been sent to Commodore
Howell. commanding the European
station. to send. a force of men from
the San Francisco to take possession
of and hoist the United States flag on
the Brazilian ship that is ready to go
into commission at New Castle. This
will prevent any difficulty in case hos
tilities should break out, as the ship
would be under the flag, but lying in
friendly harbor.
