OUR NEW NAVY.


The measure introduced in Congress
providing for important additions to
Dur navy makes provision for forty-hve
vessels. five of which are first-class
cruisers, heavily armored; ten are tor
pedo boats, fifteen are torpedo-boat de-
stroyers, and fifteen are steel gunboats.
The limit of expenditure is put at $685.
250COO, exclusive of armament.
There are now being built five battle
ships, three of which have been launch
ed. and the construction Of three others
has been authorized by Congress.
When these are completed our navy
will have twelve ba1tleships which will
be equal to almost any vessel of their
class afloat.
The five cruisers provided for will be
protected with the heaviest armor that
can be employed, and they will be
armed with the heaviest ordnance used
in the navy. They will have a displace-
ment of $50 tons, which will make
them the greatest in that line in our
navy, and will have a minimum aver
age speed of twenty knots, or twenty
three miles an hour, ranking with the
Baltimore.
If we had these cruisers now it would
not be many hours before the swift
Spanard would be caught and sent to
the bottom or the Stars and Stripes
hoisted over his ships AS it stands
we are seriously hampered in the pres
ent war from lack of speed and capac
ity in our cruisers. For instance, we are
sending the Charleston on her long
journey on the Pacific, loaded with
ammunition and other supplies for Adj
miral Dewey's feet. There is some coal
in her cargo, but not enough to send
the boat through to Manila without a
stop on the way--at Honolulu, where
two precious days will be spent in get
ting ready for the long last leg of the
journey.
What if the Charleston should fall in
with a powerful enemy on the way?-
pen on this particular trip. She Is
without armor to protect her precious
cargo and without speed to get away
from a fast enemy. She hasn't even
the guns for a good stand-up fight with
a foe at all formidable. Yet she is the
best that we have available on the west
coast for the purpose.
On the Atlantic side we have lot Of
armorclads that have displayed their
inferior speed by trying to locate the fast
armored ships that Spain sent over to
harry US. We have among them no
Vizcaya, combining speed, armor and
steaming radius We have no Oquendo,
no Maria Teresa The New York is all
right in her excellent way, and in a
fair fight there is little doubt as to the
outcome of the battle; but the New
York could not be trusted to go out
alone in search of the four Spanish
armorclads. Accompanied by the
Brooklyn, she would not have been
risked against the heavy quartet OF the
Spanish squadron, to say nothing OF
the torpedo boats and destroyers
Of course we have the Indiana. the
Oregon, the Iowa, and those sleepy
giants. the monitors; but we could
never catch the Spaniards with these
on the high seas.
With the proposed additions to the
navy we will have twenty-one- armored
or protected cruisers, which with
American guns and American gunners
will be able to hold their own against
any equal force in the world.

A. G. Brice, late consul at Matan-

proper sanitary precautions, could oc.
cupy Cuba with but little danger Of
falling victims to disease, and that
field operations are perfectly prac-

good. The indications now are that
when the navy is ready, the army also
will be ready for the occupation Of

Spain has in addition to her other
troubles an almost unlimited amount
of paper currency which is worth but
80 cents on the dollar outside of Spain,
and proposes to issue still more and to
increase all taxes 20 per cent. This
will doubtless be the last straw the
back of the Spanish camel will be able
to bear.

According to dispatch from Balti-
more to the New York Tribune Sena-
tor-elect McComas went over from
Washington to Baltimore on Thurs
day and conferred with the friends of
Senator Wellington and other repub-
lican leaders.
The Tribune dispatch says: 1T is
now proposed to call meeting of the
republican state central committee
two weeks hence for the election of a
chairman. 1t is said that the men
who backed Judge McComas in his
contest for Senator will now, at his
request, vote for Mr.. Wellington for
chairman. John X. Cowen, the
leader of the Independent democrats,
brought about the peace conference.
The independent democrats have
been doing everything in their power
to heal the differences in the republi-
can party, fearing that factional diyi-
sions might give the regular demo-
Gratis an opportunity for victory in sew
eral of the Congressional districts. Mr..
Cowen wrote strong letter to Judge
McComas, in which he urged him to
use all his influence to aid in making
Senator Wellington chairman of the
committee

Dogs Among Sheen.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. c. F. Koch,
residing about four miles west of Oak
land, was in town and reported that
during the past three or four weeks
dogs have killed 80 lambs and 8 ewes
and manned number of other sheep
and lambs belonging to him. One of
the dogs caught running the sheep
was shot but by whom Mr.. Koch is
not aware.
In this connection we may state
that the law protects persons who
may kill dogs running sheep upon
lands either his own or belonging to
other persons and we advise all law
abiding citizens of the county to
shoot on sight any dog seen running
sheep.

SchleY Testimonial Meeting.

In pursuance to request made by
Mayor R. s. Jamison a meeting of the
citizens of Oakland is called for Tues
day night, July 26, at the opera house,
at which time preliminary steps will
be taken whereby the citizens of Oak
land and Garrett county will be given
an opportunity to contribute to the
fund now being raised in this State
with which to purchase a sword to be
presented to Commodore Winfield
Scott Schley, Maryland's gallant son,
who won such a signal victory off the
coast of Cuba on July 3rd when he
annihilated the fleet of Spain. The
request for this meeting to be held was
issued by Col. Jos. Sprigg, of Cumber-
land, who is chairman of the commit
tee for Allegany county. We hope
for large turn out of the people of
Oakland and thus bestow an honor
upon another of her worthy heroes.

Died.

The last issue of the M. E. Times,
the official organ of the Methodist
Episcopal church, contained the fol-
lowing obituary of VIM. McCabe, for
many years resident of Friendsville
district:
MCCABE.-Wm. McCabe was born
Dec. 80, 1924, and departed this life
June 20, 1898. He was married to Ann
Friend, sister of Rev. H. E. Friend of
Albrights, w. Va, August 90, 1S47.
The wife and two children, out of
thirteen, survive him. For more than
score of years he was a member of
the NJ. E. church. Most of this time
he was trustee of church property.
For a time he served as steward in the
society to which he belonged.
Bro. McCabe was an excellent man.
Loyal indeed was he to the church. l
remember when visiting him that he
manifested deep piety and intense
spirituality. No doubt he died in
the faith and now triumphs in glory.
Following the funeral discourse on
Monday morning. June 81, his body
was placed in the Blooming Rose Gem
etery to await the resurrection of the
Just. Peace to his memory.

With peculiar grace-but particularly
from the United States fiesh-fushed
with physical victories-both have it
in their power to declare that there is
something mightier than war, some
thing stronger than rending explo-
sives, Drawer than hoarse threats, and
that is peace. Then let us in the
midst of this sudden revival of racial
feeling, permit our contribution of
the new century that already dawns,
to be the establishment of an inter
national tribunal of peace. In the
midst of the force needed to strangle
fifteenth-century blood-thirstiness
will our thoughts thus be set towards
a higher plane of power for both than
we now occupy. Thus will the brok-
en- barriers of Spain not become open
gateways for robbery and extortion,
but broad highways of progress
WI erein dwelleth righteousness,
which after all is the only thing that
exalteth nation.
