a Foreign Country.
Philadelphia January 20.-The I'M
romantic aspect Of Cramps shipyard
was turned to favor and to prettiness
to-day when the japanese cruiser,
Kasaiga, was launched. True oriental
spirit pervaded the event. When the
breathless moment came and the huge
ship began to glide down to her first
bath, six doves fluttered from basket
at the bow and, circling about, scatter
ed flowers on the deck
1t was very pretty piece of mechan-
ism, and it was not at all homogeneous
that the chief actor of the allegory
should be a charming American girl
Miss Helen Long-daughter of the
Secretary of the Navy. Miss Long was
to have merely drawn the cord which
released the doves and their floral bur-
dens, but at the supreme moment the
cord slipped from her hand and a
workman of the yard instantly caught
it and performed the office. This was
observed only by those in immediate
proximity to the vessel and the beauty
of this unique launch was in no way
married.
The Japanese Minister, Toru Hoshi,
headed the delegation from the Mika-
dos court, and apart from those at
tached to his staff in Washington there
were japanese from New York and
Chicago. The American party from
the capital was large and notable, in
Guiding many state officials and their
ladies.
The Kasagi is the most important
ship ever built in the United States
for foreign country and is the first
foreign warship launched in America
since the Russian warship, Zobiaoa, in
1878.
The dimensions of the kasagi are:
Length 3741a feet; breadth 4S34 feet;
depth 30 feet; mean draught II feet
8 inches; displacement at that draught
1900 tons. She is classed as pro-
tected cruiser of the second class and,
like all vessels of her type, has no de-
fensive armor, relying on her coal
bunkers, which run 10S feet fore and
aft of her amidship section, to protect
her engines, which are entirely below
the water line. Above these is a pro-
tective deck, having maximum thick
ness of AZ inches on the slopes and
ia inches on the fiat The motive
power is supplied by two verticle in
verified, triple expansion, four Cylinder
engines, driving twin screws and esti-
mated to develop under forced draught,
a mean speed Of 221a knots FER nour
The boiler rooms contain IL single
ended boilers.
The batteries on the Kasagi are
heavier than those on either the United
States cruisers Minneapolis or Column
bia. There are two 8-inch rifles at the
sides, and her armament besides will
consists of ten 47-inch quick firing
rifles, a second battery of twelve -
pound quick-fring rifles and six 21@-
inch Hotchkiss guns.
There are two steel maSts on the
Kasagi. These will be provided with
fighting tops in which rapid-fring guns
will be placed.
The contract for the Kasagi was
signed with representatives of the
Japanese government on December 81,
1896, and her building was carefully
watched by Commander Katsure Mar
tia, naval attache of the Mikado's le-
cation at Washington.
Ever since Japan had navy the
in vogue, and the release of the two
young doves was to symbolic the
happy fruition of great endeavor
accomplished through the intercession
of white winged peace.

Garcia is not on the best terms with
the government. Gomez has already
come out openly and announced that ne
Will not permit his name to go before
the people as a candidate for the pres
idency of the Cuban republic. General
Garcia, on the contrary, has let his
friends know that he is a candidate for
the presidency. There viii, therefore,
be two candidates, President Masso
and General Garcia. General Garcia
will have little chance with the civil
ians, but he stands high with the men
in the army. The Cuban constitution
provides that only those persons who
are in the army or who have served
in the army can vote. Therefore a lot
of boys Is years old will be allowed to
vote for Garcia, whereas men who have
not been in the army, but who prefer
the conservatism of Masso, cannot vote
for him.
The next Cuban election will be held
just as soon as the seat of government
can get into town to conduct an cleo
tion The present Cuban government,
according to the constitution, should
be dissolved upon the evacuation of the
island by the government, and a newt
election must be held to elect officers,

There is no Disgusting the fact that
there is lots of trouble ahead for the
Cuban government, and l honestly
think that there will be many riots be-
fore tranquility is restored. The Gu
ban government promised to pay the
soldiers, but as there are no funds
from which to pay them, it is sug-
gested now that the new constitution
make provision for paying them. In
any event, it looks as though the gov
eminent of the Cuban republic is to
see more stormy times. President
Masso hopes to move the seat of gov
eminent TO Santiago and afterward to
Havana. He is confident that the
United States government will, as soon
as practicable, turn the island over to
the Cubans for government"

HONEST FIGHT IN IDAHO.
Direct Issue Between Silver and the
Single Gold Standard.

Blackfoot, Ida, Aug. 2O.-Former Sem
ator Dubois, speaking of the action of the
Republican state convention, said: 1.-The
state ticket nominated by the Republicans
at Boise is the pick of the party. l know
every candidate personally, and must con-
graduate the state and party that men
of such personal character and standing
have consented to lead hopeless fight.
1t should compel the greatest care in the
selection of candidates by the silver
forces. Judge Hepburn for congress, is
a most appropriate selection. He is an
avowed candidate for the senate in 1906,
and is conceded to be the ablest and the
broadcast minded man in the Republican
party. He is an ultra-gold standard adVo-
cate, is honest enough TO say so, and is
no doubt largely responsible for the gold
standard platform on which he stands. He
will not allow any equivocation. and the
fight in Idaho, at least, will be an honest
one. The Republicans have declared fatty
for the gold standard. and nominated for
congress their aplest exponent of the gold
standard.
1.-The silver forces will declare squarely
for the free coinage OF both gold and sill
yer at the ratio of 16 to / and nominate "a
ticket of well known bimetallists. The
campaign will be a clean one, and the
people can vote their choice directly be-
tween bimetallism and gold monometal-
liSm.''

ANNEXATION SENTIMENT.
Insurgents May Wage War Against
the Americans.

the Al6T1CduS.
London, Aug. 20.-The Times this
morning publishes a letter from Ra-
vana, dated July rs, in which the writer
says:
The civil population have arrived at
a deliberate opinion in favor OF an
nexation to the United States, and
probably the army will eventually fol-
low their example, however reluctantly.
While independence, which would sig
Nifty the tyranny of the rebel party.
would almost certainly be followed by
the fieFcest of civil wars, on the other
hand, in the event of annexation, the
disappointed rebels would probably
turn their arms against the Americans
and, as one of the highest government
officials told me, he would not be sur
prised to see the Spaniards, perhaps the
Spanish troops, assisting the Americans
against the insurgents.
Declaring that the CubanS give open
expression to suspicious of and threats
against the Americans, the correspond
ent expresses the belief that the Amer
leans could easily suppress rebel
lion, and that therefore annexation,
which nine-tenths of the inhabitants
desire, because they dread independ
ence above all things. seems to be the
only solution that will bring peace to
the war-wasted land"
