reply may be reasonably expected with. in the next few days. Should these de- mands be rejected, there is the highest authority for stating that the president will not hesitate a moment as to his future course. but will immediately lay the whole record before congress and bs guided by it's instructions.
 As a preliminary step toward peace, it has been proposed to Spain. though this last proposition has not taken the shape of demand as yet, at least that the Spanish government withdraw it's troops from the island and that the Cu- bans be given their independence on a basis of indemnity that would be re- garded as just in amount by the Unit ed States and other nations of the world and fair to both contending parties.

SlGSBEE'S RETURN.
Captain of the Maine Thinks War Cam
 not Be Averted.


 Washington, March 30.-Captain Sigs- bee of the wrecked warship Maine has arrived in Washington from Havana. He was accompanied by Paymaster Ray, Chief Engineer Howell, Naval Cadet Holden and Dr. Heneberger. Cap tain Sigsbee called on Secretary Long and later on the president.
 Naval officers who talked with Cap tain Sigsbee are more firmly convinced than ever that war will inevitably come put of the Cuban situation and that the tnergy with which the army and navy have made extraordinary preparations Tn the last few weeks will not have been for naught. As soon as the commander of the Maine reported at the navy de- partment he wasted no time in explain ing to Captain Crowninshield. chief of navigation, the intolerable attitude of Spanish sympathizers in Havana har- bor and city toward Americans, and particularly their animosity to Ameri- can naval officers now at work on the wreck of the Maine.
 He said trouble could not be avoided much longer, and when a collision did occur. in his opinion. the local authori- ties would be powerless to protect either the small American colony afioat or the l one ashore. All day long and we'll into the night foul epithets, insults to the dead as well s.s to the living and taunt- ing threats are shouted to those upon the vessels around the Maine's wreck from the numerous boats going to and | fro in the harbor and these demonstra- tions have been steadily increasing for | the last ten days, especially since the
 Montgomery came away, until an overt | act was liable to occur at any moment. wrccxers Should Be Withdrawn. Captain Sigsbee thought effective pro-
 tecticn should be afforded the wreckers | and officers in charge, or they ought to be withdrawn. He recommended the | immediate recall of Lieutenant Com | mander Richard Wainwright and the | officers and crew of the Fern for sani- | tary reasons. saying that their close confinement to work night and day in | the middle of the foul smelling harbor. | with it's miasmatic poisons, continually
 stirred up by the operations going on.
 was endangering their health to no pur- ! pose.
 He said the Maine could not be raised. | He was exceedingly reluctaNt to reach | that conclusion, but he was convinced | that complete destruction of the vessel
 would be necessary after the guns and | other valuable articles were removed. | Captain Sigsbee reiterated these opin- ! Ions to the president later in the day. | Coming from the calm, dispassicnate | officer he has shown himself to be in
 the greatest crisis a naval officer has | faced in recent years, this recommen- | dation caused considerable official un- | easiness, and an effort to effect a reme- | dy will be promptly made.

THE KENTUCKY.

foamfng champagne and the Kentucky christened with pure water from a spring at the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln.
 Miss Christine Bradley, daughter of Governor Bradley, christened the Ken lucky, and Miss Herbert Winslow, wife of Lieutenant Commander Winslow, broke the traditional bottle of cham pagne over the bow of the Kearsarge.
 There are larger battleships than the Kearsarge and Kentucky, but the two vessels launched yesterday embody in their design and construction the high est development up to date in offensive and defensive warfare as applied to the coast line of the United States. Into their broad huIls are packed all of the engine power. the armor and ordnance that the highest scientific ability Is able to concentrate in a floating struc- ture that is able to seek a base of oper- ations. a supply of fuel and ammuni- ton and an opportunity to heal wounds received in battle. This consideration was kept in mind by Chief Constructor Hichborn when the Kearsarge and Ken lucky were planned. This is the ex- planation of the fact-a new one in naval design-that these ships, with a displacement of II, ,525 tons, draw only 23 feet inches of water. less than the armored cruisers New York and Brook

MORE TORPEDO BOATS.
Preparations For Great Increase In Fight
 ing Vessels.

ing Vessels.
 Washington, March 30. - President Mckinley is considering the advisabili- ty of investing s7 0O0, 900 in the construc- tion of 100 torpedo boat destroyers and torpedo boats.
 Should there be any evidence of failure of the peace negotiations now in progress, there is no doubt in the minds of naval officials that the president will authorize the expenditure of this sum of money in order that the navy may be strengthened at its weakest point. In anticipation of the decision of the pres ident to build the boats. plans for their hulls and machinery have been prepar- ed, and contracts can be let as soon as the decision is formally announced.
 The proposition to build 100 torpedo boat destroyers arI torpedo boats arose as a result of the failure of the agents of this government abroad to purchase satisfactory number of vessels of these types. Up to the present time but two torpedo boats, one seagoing boat and the other intended only for harbor defense, have been secured, and the au- thorities admit that there Is little like lihood that any further boats will be purchased.
 Tn NleW or InlS Idcl, oeCTeldIy LoliS directed Chief Naval Constructor Hich- born and Engineer In Chief Melville to report to him the number, displacement and cost of torpedo boat destroyers and torpedo beats which should be built by this government. This report was sub mitted to Secretary Long yesterday, and by him has been presented to the president for official consideration.
 It is stated that the report of the of ficials recommepd- the construction of about 90 destroyeIs of from 325 to $50 tons displacement. capable of making a maximum speed of 30 knots an hour and to be built within a period of four or five months. The torpedo boats are to be each of about 100 tons displace- ment and capable of making a speed of from 20 to 22 knots. The boats must be completed within 90 days.
 The department has selected the off, cers who will be assigned to command the yachts which are being converted at the Brooklyn navy yard into auxiliary gunboats. One of these will be Lieu tenant w. H. H. Southerland, now the executive officer of the dispatch boat Dolphin. His selection for the com mand is a source of genuine satisfac- ton to his friends at the navy depart ment and in the service.
 Captain W. T Sampson, commander in chief of the horth Atlantic station, has selected Lieutenant S. A. Staunton as his flag lieutenant, and 1t is expected he will nominate his flag secretary within the next few days.

St. Paul, March 24.-James H. South all, chief clerk in the United States en- gineer's office for the last 15 years until few months ago, has confessed to the president of the St. Paul bank that he had swindled various banks and indi- viduals to the extent of nearly s400,00O by the issuance of forged time checks.
 More than 50 banks are interested. half a dozen of them being in St. Paul, one in Hartford and o' ners all over the country, from Des MonFs to Boston.

 Newport News, Va, March 25.-The twin battleships Kentucky and Rear sarge were launched from the yards of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock company yesterday in the presence of an immense crowd.
