FIVE DRY DOCKS AUTHORIZED.
Construction Favored by the House
Naval Committed .-.,,

The construction OF five modern dry docks
was authorized yesterday by the action Of
the House committee on naval affairs.
They are to be located at Portsmouth n.
H.; Boston, Mass: League Island, near
Philadelphia, Pa; Algiers. near New Or
leans. La, and Mare Island. Near San
Francisco, Cal. These docks are to be Of
wood, except those at Algiers and Ports
mouth. The material of construction Of
these will be determined hereafter. The
indications are that the dock at Portsmouth
will be built of stone, from nearby quar-
ries, and that at Algiers of steel. The de-
cision Of the committee was the outcome of
a pi 1tracted and at times animated dis
eussion. The final vote choosing the points
named was 4 to D.
There is a strong sentiment I'm the c-nn-
mittee in favor of an increase in the num-
Der of torpedo boats al d for the building of
torpedo boat destroyers, and the construc-
ton of such craft would undoubtedly be
authorized were it not for the prevailing
opinion that the government will acquire
several vessels of these types by purchase
out Of the SJ0.g0,0oo appropriation for the
national defense. The loo skilled machin-
lists asked for by the Navy Department. to-
gether with the increase i'm the paymaster's

now undergoing their probationary period.
also probably will be agreed upon by the
committee.
These latter increases in both the staff and
line will. ii is thought. meet the present ur-
gent demands. The decision of the commit
tee to construct three timber docks was not
due alone to the fact that they could be
built cheaper than stone or concrete docks
A difference Of opinion exists in the Navy
Department as to the relative merits of
stone and timber docks. Constructor Hich-
born. for instance. prefers timber docks,
while Commodore Matthews OF the bureau
of yards and docks favors stone docks
Private dock owners generally gave testi-
mony before the committee in favor of tim
Der docks, The proposition to construct the
Portsmouth dock OF stone is largely due to
the existence in the vicinity of the stone
Quarries of Vermont and New Hamp-
shire The average life of tim
Der dock is about forty years. The
authorization of five dry docks involves
a total appropriation of something over
So 900 eco. of which probably about 81 2J0.-
900 will be appropriated in the naval bill
this year.

SPAIN DOES NOT COURT WAR.
Claim That the United states Prevents
PaciGcutfOn of Cubn.

The New York Heralds correspondent at
Madrid quotes a leading Spanish States
man on the Cuban question as follows:
I'VE could have peace and happiness re-
stored in Cuba in three weeks If only the
American people would will il.
THE latest private letters from General
Blanco contain reports even more hopeful
than those sanguine words spoken in Senior
Moret's speech.
The insurgents would all surrender were
it not that they are sustained by the idea
that the United. States proposes some coup.
And, let NE say. we should receive them
with open arms.
III the american people could only have
the absolute truth brought before them
c|early-nannely- that Spain above all seeks
peace, bu. naturally peace with honor. She
be obtained without derogation to herself
as nation.
THE great mistake is that reports sent
to the United States from Spain are only
a pretext for war. 1t is absolutely untrue
that she Is making preparations In a de-
faint spirit. Spain = acting only in the
spirit of q nation which. IL war be thrust
upon 1t. will have TO reply and be ready
to fight.
But that Spain seeks anything but dig
nified peace is totally false"
And the words of Sagasta come back to
us: We will do everything possible to
have peace"

tons. says it 10 purely fictitious TO imag-
inc that conflict II imminent

INSANE JEALOUSY.
Mrs. Place Kills Her Daughter With an
Axe and Wounds Her Husband.
Then Tried Suicide.

New York. Feb. 7.-Insane jealousy
prompted the wife of w. l.. Place, an
insurance man of this city, to kill her
daughter and dangerously wound her
husband with an axe. Her husband
returning home from business. was met
at the door by his wife. axe in hand,
with which she furiously attacked him,
inficting several severe cuts on his
head and face.
Then the insane woman fed to her
room, locked the door and turned on two
jets of gas. Place secured help and the
door was broken open. Mrs. Place was
found unconscious. The door of a back
room on the same floor was locked and
was broken open. Here was found Ida,
her head having been split open. There
was also an ugly wound on the mouth.
The gN had been dead about three
hours.
Place, though seriously injured. will
probably survive. Mrs. Place is already
out of danger. The fathers preference for
his daughters society is said to have
been the cause of frequent quarrelS be-
tween husband and wife.

between Greece and Turkey.
Dealing with India, complimentary
allusion will be made to the valor and
loyalty of the British Indian troops
There will be lengthy reference to the
West Indies and to the government $
intentions as outlined by the secretary
of state for the colonies and the speech
will be an expression of hope that the
international sugar conference Will
have satisfactory results.
The first place in the estimates is de-
voted to army needs and the chief bills
promised will be a local government
bill for Ireland and a London munich
pal bill, providing, as announced by the
Marquis of Salisbury, for modifica-
ton of the London county council, IN
the direction of decentralization.
The speech is expected TO be long, but
rather more remarkable for its omis-
sions than its contents. IL is quite evil
dent that no settlement has yet been ar
rived at respecting China which will adj
init of more than a bare mention. The
same applies 10 the WEST African dliiet-
enccs with France and the troublesome
Cretan negotiations, which are again in
a state of collapse.
The public is anxious to learn more
about the Soudan advance. but IL is not
likely TO be gratihed TO any extent 1t
is said, however. that there will be long
reference to the West Indies and the SUI
gar commission. No proposal will be
made for the relief of the Indian ques-
tion.
The message. addressed specially TO the
house of commons, Will deal largely with
the intended increase in the army and es-
Inmates with a view TO strengthening the
army and amending the conditions of SER
vice. Some IA new bills are mentioned
mostly OF local interest
The Marquis of Salisbury and the other
leaders gave the customary parliament
tary dinners this evening.
