Havana, March 11.--As an indca-
tion of the estimate put upon the Viz
caya and the Almirante Oquendo, sis
ter ships, by naval officers here, a
remark Of one Of them made today Is
worth reporting. The officer was stand
ing with this correspondent on the
quay watching the Vizcaya as she
swung with the tide. Yes" he OBJ
served quietly, "she is beautiful
ship, but too big mark. The Iowa,
for instance. could not miss her with 4
single shot at reasonable fighting range.
and would be likely to blow her boil
ers out in the first ten minutes
The same officer said: THE Pelayo
is d really formidable battleship, but
smaller and less dangerous than our
Massachusetts"
There is a good deal Of comment
about propositions to the insurgents
by the radical wing of the Autono-
mist party. The Spaniards say the
Autonomists' program promises moth
ing but sorrow and war, while General
Gomez himself has offered $3.50 900, 900
and a favorable commercial treaty
IL
Moreover, they say the Autonomists'
program to dlsarm the volunteers
would mean Independence If carried
out, since the insurgents would not be
disarmed.
Henri Laine, the newspaper corre-
spondent, was not compelled to leave
the country because of newspaper
work. but because of written charges,
accompanied by alleged full proof
furnished to the Autonomic govern
ment by Senior Burzon, governor Of
Havana province. that he and others
were involved In the conspiracy respon-
sbls for locating 25 dynamite bombs
at various points in Havana.
Senor Bruzon demanded the expul-
sion of all newspaper correspondents,
on the ground that sensational stories
sent to the United States were liable
to create riots in Havana. The Mar
quis de Montro and Senor Gown op-
posed a wholesale deportation. saying
that the matter was very serious and
that it was the duty of the Autono-
mic government not only to preserve
peace In Havana, but to promote good
feeling with the United States. Fur
thermore they contended that not all
the correspondents should be under the
ban, but that selections should be made
of the guilty.
They concluded their reply to Senor
Bruzon by saying that it would be
unwise to expel any correspondents
while the court Of inquiry was in ses-
sion. lest it should seem that the Span
iards dreaded the publication of the
truth about the Maine explosion. They
demanded additional written charges.
with proofs, from Senor Bruzon. This
was four days ago, and nothing has
been forthcoming. 1t Is probable. how
ever, that certain correspondents will
be asked to leave the island when the
American court of inquiry finishes its
work.
