widely separated, and with more complete protection for the gunners. Eight of the guns will be inclosed in a central battery on the main deck, behind continuous wall of five and a half inches of steel. In the bows on the same deck will be two more of the guns, and on an upper dsek four more will be moun'e1, two on each side. They will be protected with six inches of steel and will be capable of be- ing fired dead ahead or dead astern, as well as on the broadside. The combined energy of the 6-inch battery will be about 225 900 foot tons a minute. To these guns is added a battery of sixteen 6-pounders and four 4-pounders, the latter to be mounted in the fighting tops. There are also four broadside torpedo tubes, protected with six inches of steel armor.
 A full description of the 1.-two Ks" was given when they were launched, and the following table will give clear idea of the improvements made in the later ships:

broadside fire are retained. As the Kear- sage and the eKntucky were advances on tn Indiana class, so are the Alabama and her sisters regarded as advances on the two "K's." The plan followed in the lat ter, of putting the S-inch guns in turrets superimposed on the turrets carrying the 13-inch guns, caused a great deal of ad- verse comment, the objections being pr.n- cipally on the danger of having all four guns thrown out of service by one succ -ss- ful shot This trouble has been avoided in the latter ship by emitting the 8-inch gun from the armament altogether, leaving the heavy turret unhampered and greatly increasing the weight and efficiency of the secondary battery. Another improvement made is the adding of another deck for the first three-quarters of the ships length, thus giving the Alabama three feet of freeboard against thirteen feet on the Kearsage.
 The chief peculiarity of the Alabama is the turret arrangement. The turrets are of the elliptioal type, and are the first of the sort in the American navy. They are oval in plan, with the front plates slightly inclined and the rear plates vertical. Tn plan gives more room for the handling Of the guns and their loading appliances, and is also lighter. The old circu'ar turret cramped the room at the rear of the guns, while allowing more than was necessary at the sides. The diameter of the stationary barbette is somewhat larger than the short axis of the turret, and the center of gray ity of the rotating parts is the axis of TO- tation, so that the turret, in spite of con- siderable overhang at the rear, can be turned by its engine, even when the ship has a havy list. without serious retardation and is completely balanced The hoods on either side are occupied by the gun point CTS, who give the necessary elevation or dpression, and the one in the center is for tn man who turns the turret his sole work being to keep the guns always pointing to the target as far as their lateral direction is concerned.
 Another novel feature of the new ships is the placing of the smoke pipes abreast

 As showing the improvement made by American designers over the British, it may be stated that the Ame-i-an ships carry heavier armor and heavier guns on a given displacement than any other ships in the world. The comparison made wi h the ships of the Majestic class of the British navy will show this. The Majestic has a displacement of about E 200 tons to about Il, ,5)O tons for the Alabama. In spie of this disparity the latter carries four 13- inch guns, against four 12-inch guns for the former; she has fourteen 6-inch rapid fire guns, against twelve in tf British ship she is protected with sixteen and 0 half inches of side armor, against fifteen inches; she has 17-inch turret armor, as aga nst 6-ircA, and her speed is only one and half knots less. To this must be added the advantage gained by four feet less draught, hch will permit her to go into harbors and rivers where her heavier antagonist could not follow, and as she is a smaller ship she presents smaller tar get to an enemy.
 When the plans for the Alabama class were first made public considerable com ment was caused by apparent top-heavi- ness of the ships, and predictions were made by foreign designers that the enor- nous weight of the turning parts of the turrets (about $40 tons) and the 6-inch bat tery on the same deck, with two of the guns placed still higher, would have a dis astrous effect when the ship met heavy weather. But the Amer,can designers have provided for an uncommon propor- tion of beam to length, that of the Alaba- ma being as one to five, while the center of gravity Is lowered more than would at first appear. owing to the after turret with it's heavy guns, being on deck about sew en feet lower than the forward turret.
 Altogether the new ships, of which the Alabama is a sample, are regarded as being the best fighting machines so far planned, and their speedy completion and equipment

Robert E. Lee

Apropos of a recent paragraph about General R. E. Lees commission from President Lincoln, Grand Army friend says: 'In April, 1861, General Scott was at the head of the united States army, old. sick and feeble. Robert p. Lee was on his staff, and was virtually in command. Scott was invited to attend many meetings of the cabinet. Lees letter of resignation as an officer of the United States army was dated Saturday. April 20, 1861. He was in Washington on the 2lst, and his commits sion as commander-in-chief of the army of Virginia was dated in Richmond, April %, 1891. It was handed to him by Governor fletcher in public on the 2sd of April Robt. E. Lee said that for long time he had corresponded with prominent rebels.

camnos sweated with agony, but stlll re- tained his presence of mind. Maceo was advancing in five parallel columns. Tne roidd1e column was ambuscaded by Campos in sugar plantation. The generals were not a00 feet apart The mulatto patriot denloved to the right and left and an- swered the Spanish fire. Two great wings of 900 men were enveloping him. His matchless genius arose to the situation He dispatched aids to his fanking columns with orders that spoke for themselves. within twenty-five minutes the city of Coliseo was in flames and the village or Sumidero was ablaze. One was to the east and the other to the west of Campos Meantime Maceo himself set the cane on fire in the immediate front of the captain general Campos becante hopelessly in- yolyed between three lines of flames. He sounded retreat and put for Matanzas, fancying that 1t was Maceo's intention to capture that city. The victorious Cubans swept westward like averaging spirits, while clouds of smoke arising from a hundred burning plantations bewildered the Span iards and left Campos himself dazed and apparently unconscious of what had struck him.
 Then Maceo appeared at the gates of Havana. It was Christmas week. He had been nine weeks in the saddle. He main- tained his position in front of Havana four months, while the whole western end of the islan6 was wrapped in pail of smoke, and s60,0o0,000 in property went to ashes Campos never recovered his footing and was recalled to Spain.

From the New York Tribune.
 The Alabama, the first to be launched of the three battleships authorized in 1895, marks the latest development of the idea of an impregnable gun platform mounting guns capabl of knocking to pieces any, thing else afloat The best feature of the Indiana class of battleships, as well as those of the Kearsage and Kentucky, have been improved on, and the differences be- tween the older and the last addition to the navy are marked, although the fea- lures of high freeboard. widely separated arated main battery and a rapid-fire sec ondary battery arranged to give a heavy

of each other, instad of on a line on the longitudinal axis of the ship
 The batteries prensent another marked contrast to the older ships of the navy. The main battery will be the same, con- sisting of four 13-inch breech-loading ri- f1es, but the removal of the s-inch turrets of the older ships permits a secondary bat tery of fourteen 6-inch rifles on the Alaba- ma instead of the fourteen 6-inch rifles which the Kearsage carries. The Alaba- mas guns fire a shell weighing 100 pounds, against shell weighing only fifty pounds fired by the smaller guns, and their rap- idity of fire is only slightly less. Each of these guns is the 40-calibre Mark III class, giving muzzle energy. of 3,204 tons and a penetration of 16.5 inches of wrought iron.

NOT TRUE.

The San Francisco Chronicle at
lacks with unusual bitterness the at
titude of our planters on the labor
question. II represents them as grasp
ing creatures who are after cheap lab
or, and who prefer the Asiatic to the
American.
There is some truth in the charge,
but in no sense whatever do the plan
tiers display any more desire to get all
within reach, than any other class of
business men in the world. To place
them in the attitude of attempting to
give less and take more than others do,
is simply the babble of the sand lot
orators.
On the whole, the planters find
themselves forced by the situation to
gradually improve the condition Of the
labOrers Their advance in this re-
spect is not, of course, what the philan-
thropists demand, and is not what it
ought to be, considering the enor-
NOUS dividends earned. But there is
an advance, and in several cases, a
very liberal advance.
1t was probably not wise for the
planters to suggest to the Commission
ers, the Importance Of suspending the
national immigration laws, so far as
these Islands are concerned. The sug-
gestion arouses the jealousies and pre-
judices of the labor unions. The stu
alton here is critical enough without
creating more active enemies.
Although the merchants of San
Francisco desire great benefits from
our trade, they are still in minority
at the polls. The prosperity of the
Islands will naturally draw the fire
of those who are not fortunate, and
are not very anxious that other peo-
pie should be fortunate.

The internal condition of France is
eign countries since the rise of the Re-
public in 1871. Bodley, in his valuable
work on the French, recently issued,
declares that there is among the seri-
Gus French writer's strange pessi-
mism The experiments in Parliament
tary government are not as successful
as it was hoped that they would be.
The Capitalization of government as
perfected by the first Napoleon, seems
to have become now the habit Of the
people. Even the changes of dynas-
ties, and overthrows of the govern
ment have not modified this centrali-
cation. 1t was hardly TO be expected
that a nation like the French, more
advanced in civilization than any other
nation, in many respects, would adopt
with facility the Parliamentary forms
of the English. The pessimism of the
great French thinkers, impatient at the
dreadful scandals of administration,
such as the Panama affair, and at the
slow growth of party government
leads them TO admit, with much hest
tation, that good tyrant may be the
best outcome. Even the unsatisfactory
results of the Third Republic have not
been enough to cause a revolution.
Nor, is there any sign of the good
despot riding towards Paris.
While these vexatious problems are
working themselves out, the future
conflict with Germany is regarded
generally as certain. Not that France
will provoke it, That is a movement
involving awful responsibility. But
breathing as the two nations do, into
each others faces the hot breath of
