SFAIN'S COUNTER EA0POSAL.
President Mckinley to Re the Ulti-
mate Judge In the Dispute.
President McKinley's assurances to Con-
gress in regard to the outlook for a settle
ment of the Cuban difficulty without a war
between this country and Spain are based
upon representations made to him by Min
lister Woodford
Gen. Woodford expresses: the belief, after
repeated conferences with Premier Sagasta
and other members of the Spanish ministry
that after today's meeting of the Spanish
cabinet that government VIII, of its own
accord, make proposition to this conn-
try looking to the definite settlement Of the
Cuban question. This proposition Is ex-
pected to cover three points, as follows:
First-That Spain shall send the recon-
centrados back to their homes and supply
them with means of sustaining life until
normal conditions can be restored.
Second-That there shall be an armistice
between Spain and Cuba, with the end in
view of securing settlement Of the Diff
culties and the withdrawal OF the Spanish
forces from Cuba.
Third. In case Of a failure Of the cabans
and the Spaniards to come to an under
stsnding during the armistice, Spain will
Kjnley as arbitrator. with the understand
ing that he will decide in that event for the
entire independence Of Cuba.

Report of the Special Naval board to
Secretary Long.


A naval board, consisting of Chief Con-
structor Hichborn ana Engineer-in-C Chief
Melville, has made report to the secre-
tary of the Navy as to the best means of
securing the immediate construction by
local ship builders Of a large number of
torpedo boats for use in a possible emer-
gesfey. The board outlines its views on the
subject in a memorandum, which, In part
is as follows:
with reference to the problem Of obtain
ing large number of torpedo boats under
emergency conditions, the bureaus will
not admit of the highest class Of work or
the best results as regards speed, horse
power per ton of machinery, &C., but at the
same time strength, safety and general
efficiency should not and need not be sacri-
feed. AS to type of boat to be adopted in
order to build with maximum rapiGity, it is
essential that We. first, duplicate an exist
ing type; second, build a single-screw type.
This reduces us to duplicating the
Talbot and Gwin type. or the Mac
kenzie and Mckee type. The lat
heavier scantling. In their design extreme
results were not aimed at, and they could
be duplicated successfully by number of
firms that would have difficulty with the
Talbot and Gwin. Their greater size will
enable them to stand without serious detri-
ment changes necessary to facilitate rapid
work, which, more especially in the ma
chinery, must tend to some increase in
weight.
'The bureaus would propose that the de-
partment obtain the hull material, lie,
plates and shapes, in lump, and supply it
to the builders. If given a free hand, the
bureau of construction and repair can OBJ
tain the shapes (which are needed first in
building) for 100 boats in little over a
week, and the plates in from four to five
weeks, at total cost of a little over So 900
per beat. This. too. for material prac-
tically up to the present high test require
ments.
with an adequate number of competent
shipbuilding establishments working at
high pressure. the hull work on the first of
100 boats could be completed in six weeks
and on all In about twelve weeks. Ma-ing
due allowance for the longer time required
for machinery. it is believed that the first
of 100 boats could be completed in three
months and all of them, except few fail
ures. which must be expected in suca an
underta king. in five months.
'"These boats can pass through the Erie
canal and number of lake firms could un-
dertake them. There is hardly a shop in
the country which could not undertake the
machinery or some part of it, having COM
plete working plans from the start, and it
is believed that if the interests concerned
can be induced to rise to the occasion.
through a judcious mixture of patriotism
and remuneration. phenomenal rapidity of
construction will be obtained. An effort
would have to be made to buy torpedoes
and to buy or build rapidly torpedo tube s.
but that should be accomplished with ease
1.-The total cost Of 100 such boats, COM
plete, ready for service. should not exceed
81 500, COO. They should be regarded strictly
as harbor defense boats"

Is stated ty its members, is proceeding
upon absolute information as to the char
acter of the negotiations between this
country and Spain, ard this is to the eff
feet that the independence of Cuba is made
the one essential consideration of the nego-
tiatfons. The President has told Spain in
50 many words that II is useless to 90 far
ther upon any other UNDERSTANDING
With this end in view and conceded by
Spain he will not attempt to dictate terms
or the manner OF conducting negotiations
between the Spaniards ard the Cubaas, and
he has indicated to Spain that he will be
willing that an armistice shall be arranged
for the settlement of the details

but at the same time to put it so plainly
that there can be TO doubt of the one es-
seEtial consideration. Having this assur-
apce, the committee is proceeding delib-
eretciy, and with no desire unnecessarily
to press the question Of the form of a reso-
luton to be brought in until it is necessary
to cecide that point. which can be done in
expectation that the President himself
would by Monday indicate the action he
would like to have Congress take in case
of the failure Of his diplomacy. and the
present inclination of the committee is to
follow his leadership in this respect. This
inclination was due to the fact, however
that the committee, in this event, would
be prepared for armed Intervention to Sc
cure the freedom of the Cubans.
The committee is not counting confidently
upon being called upon to make a declara-
tion to this end, but it it preparing for it,

MORE INVENTIONS THAN EVER

Th- records Of the patenS office show that American inventors are mcre ac- tive than ever Last year brcke all previous ecords for applications made, and the number of pat5nts .ss1-d was enormous The range of worK of in ventors was greater than evsr befor2. and activity in new fields by no means caused lack of imp: p:ovemsnts in ma- chincs, tools, implements and devices Of all kinds which seemed to have bee1 vel perfected.
 The best authorities Of the patent o. fee state that there is TO sign what ever Of a change in this Iesp3ct. Ih9 opportunities fer invention S; em to in crease with all the advances made from year to year The gains of th9 past simply open the way to greater inn prcvements in the future.
