DANGER INDOORS ON SHIP.


steamship and Battleship Bulkhesds Not
Worth - Much ~ They Seem.
On all first class passenger steamships
and on all large warships q great per-
centage Of the total cost is spent direct
" and indirectly on bulkheads or on
what these bulkheads necessitate. No
passenger would willingly make q voy.
age in . liner which was not known to
have a cellular structure, and no gov.
eminent would think Of building a bat
tleship or cruiser without bulkheads.
Yet 1t ia a fact we'll known, at least to
all seafaring men and shipbuilders, that
these %bulkheads, strong and perfect in
themselves, are precisely as safe aud
whit more so.
The doors as at present constructed
and operated are VIGOROUSLY bad and
dangerous. They have been the direct
and known cause in the loss of many
lives and many good ships aud arc
doubtless chargeable with many more
ships on the list of ''missing and unac-
counted for" It is astonishing to the
expert to see the general public and
even seafaring men SC ready to accept
the prevailing superstition about the
safety of bulkheads. The best possible
b%ulkheads without equally good doors,
operated on q safe system, are about as
good as a chain with q link missing.
The history of marine disaster has
taught US this if it has taught us any
thing, and yet we go on crossing the

tleships, apparently with implicit con-
tidence in this bulkhead fetch.
There should be as few doors as pos
sible. and some very able experts con-
tend that there should be none. On the
other hand, most captains and chief Ell.
gineers say they must have doors. Man
ifestly the only way out Of the difficulty
is to get safe doors, safely operated.
The number Of watertight doors and
matches on a first class battleship is over
$50, and there are nearly 800 valves and
gates connected with ventilating. drain
ing and flooding the hull and involving
the safety Of the ship. It will there
fore be- seen that the systematic control
and operation Of these devices is q mat.
ter Of no mean Importance.
It takes about 40 men to look after
these details alone in response to q col
lision alarm under the present condi-
tions, and 1t is . matter Of very grave
doubt on the part Of those best informed
as to whether the supreme efforts %

fishing this fact beyond the shadow of a

tire Spanish fleet, not excepting single

portance to the complete and intelligent
formation of strategic campaign.
1t would remove the last element Of haz-
ard in sending troops from Tampa or Jack

1t is of equal Importance that the present
strength of the shore batteries, their loca-
ton, number of guns and general effect

can be learned only by feint. which will
have the outward semblance of an assault

for more complete advices as to the actual
situation of affairs at Santiago harbor
than have been available at the Navy De-

that Commodore Schley's movement is re-

LITTLE BUT PLUCKY
The Tug Leyden Scares Three Spanish
Gunboats

Copyrighted, 1898, by the Associated Press.
KEY WEST, Juns q, 5a.m.-The tug Ley
den, which has been scouting along the
northern coast Of Cuba, had an adventure
with three small Spanish gunboats at Car
denas yesterday.
The Leyden has been playing hide and
seek with the enemys gunboats for some
time without an encounter. Yesterday
morning before daybreak she ran into Car
denas harbor to a point within five miles
of the city. There are two parallel lines
Of keys, and the Leyden had just skirted
the outside line when she sighted three
Spanish gunboats beyond the inner line
slowly moving towards the sea. The tug
sent in a couple of shots from her six
FOUNDER, but the Spaniards, evidently
thinking she was backed up by big war
ships, promptly withdrew without replying
to the challenge of the bold little craft,
which scudded out to sea again.
The Leyden also confirms the story of the
destruction of the two blockhouses be-
tween Matanzas and Cardenas, an account
of which was given yesterday by the gun
boat Uncas, which had participated in the
miniature bombardment. The Leyden lost
a gaff during the fight, but was otherwise
uninjured.
The Spaniards, it is announced, are fill
ing Cardenas harbor with old hulks, boilers
and other distractions in order to prevent
any effective entrance of the American
ships.

IS NOW AN ALLY
Hawaii Fully Entitled to Protection Of
United States

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The naval Of
ficials now calculate that Hawaii has be-
come an ally of the United States govern
ment In the present war with Spain, and
that at this moment our government is re-
sponsibe for the protection of Hawaii from
the consequences of their friendship for the
United States According to the calcula-
lions of the officials of the Navy Depart
ment, the United States cruiser Charleston
arrived at Honolulu last Saturday. She has
probably completed the taking aboard of a
full coal supply, and is now again on her
way, westward-bound for the Philippines.
The coal was accumulated at Honolulu by
the United States Consul, General Hay
wood, and in allowing the Charleston to
take on supply to carry on operations
against Spanish territory the government
of Hawaii has cast away all semblance of
neutrality in the present contest and has
thrown her fortunes with the United States.
Unless we protect her she is subject to pun
ishment at the hands of Spain. Moreover.
the offense against neutrality is to be re-
peated, for it is expected today the adj
vance guard of the transports carrying
troops to Manila is entering Honolulu
harbor to replenish their coal supply.

SYMPATHY WITH SPAIN
Is SHOWN BY OLD PEOPLE OF
NICARAGUA
Young Men Have Better Judgment
and Hope for the Success Of
the United States

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, June 2.-(Copy-
righted, 1898, by the Associated Prses.) A
majority Of the middle-aged men, natives
of Nicaragua, although courteous in their
manner, plainly show that their sympath
are strongly in favor of Spain in the war
with the United States. On the other
hand, large number of the young men
are outspoken in theirN1esire for the success
of the United States, and they rejoice pub
licly at every advantage secured by the
American warships
Some of them are writing for the local
newspapers, favoring and applauding the
United States.
The German subjects in Nicaragua are
strongly in favor of Spain. In most cases
English subjects show a disposition favor
able to the United States, but with an eye
to the hereafter, they are banking on their
supposed friendliness in the hope to get
the control of the route of the Nicaragua
canal across Nicaragua. The protocol for
a probable treaty of peace between Nicara-
qua and Costa Rca was signed April 20
on board the United States warship Alert
at sea, west of Costa Rica. The differences
between the two countries are to be SUBJ
mitted to Central American arbfefators,
provided the two congresses agree and
Guatemala is to enforce the decision
of the arbitrators.
So, at least, the proposed treaty declares,
but it is quite evident to every one who
knows political conditions in Central Amer
lea that Salvador, although member with
Nicaragua of the compact Of presidents,
known as the Greater Republic of Central
America, will not permit Qua temala to in
terfere with Costa Rica, the latter states
not being members of the Greater Rpublic,
because Salvador favors Costa Rica, and
is not in harmony with the present govern
ment of Nicaragua.

A SPANISH PRISONER

Senior Gomez was formerly editor of a
magazine in Havana and for espousing
the cause of Cuban liberty he was lodged
in Jail. That was in 1895, and later he was
released under the general amnesty grant,
ed by the Spanish government. After this
formality had been complied with, the
Spanish government arrested him on
charges of having furnished arms and am
munition to the insurgents He was con-
victed and sentenced to imprisonment for
life. He was not even allowed to corres-
pond with any Of his friends. He managed,
however, to get piece of paper and pen
and used his own blood as ink to write a
letter to his wife. The letter was SNUG

there is much speculation here as to
whether Admiral Cervera's whole fleet is
at Santiago de Cuba. In fact, comments on
this subject form most prominent features
Of the war news today. The Pail Mall Ga
zette says: The only certainty in the mass
of uncertainty is that Admiral Cervera is
at Santiago de Cuba and that is because
the impartial says he is not there.
London Comment
LONDON, June 2.-Yesterday's news
and that which comes this morning has
brought no new feature on the situation
except to increase the mystifcation as to
whether Admiral Cervera is really at San
tiago de Cuba.
The Madrid correspondents of the morn
ing papers make the point that the per-
sistence with which Senior Sagasta and
Capt. Aunon, the minister of marine. as
sert Cervera's presence there is mere
attempt to mislead the enemy. On the
other hand 1t is argued that Admiral Ger
vera could not be in a safer place and that
If Admiral Camara could succeed in enter
ing another western harbor, thus employ
ing two American squadrons in the work of
blockading, Spain's policy of delay would
be assisted. But for the negative evidence
elsewhere, London opinion leans to the
theory that he escaped from Santiago har-
Dor either before Sunday or possibly under
cover of the torpedo maneuvers Sunday
night. In any case, it is said that Admiral
Sampson will soon take steps to solve the
mystery finally, so far as Santiago is con-
cerned. With regard to the report of E,u-
ropean Intervention, the Vienna CORE
spondent of both the Daily Chronicle and
Daily News deny that the Austrian gov
eminent has received any fresh communi-
cation from Spain. 1t would appear,
therefore, that any efforts in this direction
are being made only in France, where they
are apparently the most likely to succeed.
1t is understood that M. Hanotaux and
other ministers regard the present situa-
ton as intolerable. A protracted war, be-
sides destroying commerce, would neces-
state postponing the coming exposition.
1t is hoped that the new commercial agree
ment between France and the United
States will smooth the way to French in
PREVENTION, in which certainly Austria and
perhaps England or other powers will
join. Russia, it is asserted, would be will
ing to undertake the office of mediator to
save France the necessity of becoming
prominent.
Count de Rascon, the Spanish ambassa-
dor in London, who has been interviewed
on the subject, admitted that war means
ruin for Spain, and he said:
'"The sentiment is growing in favor of
seeking an honorable peace, which Amer |
lea, considering her unpreparedness for a
war of invasion, would also welcome in |
