OUR NEW CRUISER.
TORPEDO BOAT DEsTRoYERs.
Project to Build Them Here From
English Designs.

Washington, March 15.-The agent in
/ this country of the Thornycroft Tor
pedo Boat company Of England. Mr..
Platt, has submitted to Secretary Long
a proposition for the sale to the gov
eminent of designs and complete
working drawings for the magnificent
torpedo boat destroyers built by his
firm. Predicting that the department
would find ii absolutely impossible to
Duy any of these craft in Europe at
LnlS Juncture, Mr.. Platt has urged the
propriety of having the government
mere start Immediately number of our
shlpbullding firms to work in the con-
Struction of these boats. The particu-
lar pattern submitted is that of the
torpedo boat destroyer Fame, built for
the British government. This craft, the
type of those so strongly desired by
the navy department Just now. is of
more than 80 knots speed and 200 tons
burden, large enough to be thoroughly
seaworthy, and carrying sufficient coal
at the economical speed to run 1000
knots. This advantage is not pos
seSSed by any Of our boats. and its i'm
portance is fully illustrated by the diff
hcuites confronting the efforts of the
Spaniards to get their torpedo boat
hotilla across the Atlantic to Cuba.
BASED upon the statements of ship
builders who have been approached on
the subject, the department has salts
fed itself that a number of these boats
can be built in six to eight months.
we nave now under construction in
the United States four boats rated as
Sc-knotters. but, with the exception of
the one built at the Union Iron works.
which is so per cent advanced towards
completion, very little progress has
been made in their construction. One
OF the boats is building at Hortan &,
aoIllngsworth's. one at the Gas Engine
rover company and one at Wolff &
Hwicker's, Portland, Ore

IDAHO CATTLE THEFTS.
Mcconnell Proposes to Prosecute
Banker Kettenbach.


Boise. Ida. March 15.-Ex-Governor ].
w. Mcconnell special Indian inspector,
has returned to Boise from the Nez Perez
reservation. where he has been investigat-
ing the cattle stealing case in which F.
w. Kettenbach. the Lewiston banker. is
implicated
Mcconnell has asked for a special gov
eminent prosecutor to prosecute the case
before the grand jury and in the courts
He says many cattle are being continually
stolen from the Indians and shipped from
the country. Kettenbach was arrested
not long ago and bound over. but the pro-
ceedings were set aside on motion of the
district attorney. Mcconnell proposes to
take it before the grand jury. Owing to
the standing of Kettenbach and the
gravity of the charge the case has as
sumed very sensational proportions.

Especial to The Herald,

Denver, Colo. March 15.-Ben S.
Phillips. one of the prominent mining
promoters OF the state. thinks he has a
new gold field in Alaska that will
eclipse the KIondike discoveries. He
refuses to divulge the location of his
new Eldorado. but is making arrange
ments to get into the territory at once
in order to prevent his field from being
taken up by any chance prospectOrs
who may get far enough away from
the travelled lines to get into the ter
ritOry.
Something over year ago a party of
three Ogden miners went into Alaska.
They were staked by Mr.. Phillips, and
have but recently returned. They
claim to have discovered a wonderfully
rich gold field on one of the branches
of the Yukon. The field is Mr. Phil
lips says about 200 miles from. Daw-
son, and in a territory that has not
been examined at all.
RICH GRAVEL BED.
The three miners report having found
bed of gravel in one of the rivers.
out of which they washed $4,000 in 80
days. They reported their discovery to
Mr.. Phillips, who has secured New
York money to back him in making a
thorough investigation of the reported
find. If the miners reports are veri-
fed. an unlimited amount of money
will be forthcoming for the develop
ment of the field. MIR. Phillips states
that the new country is accessible to
small boats, and that there are no rap
ids or dangerous passages to overcome
in reaching il.
Mr.. Phillips will leave in few days
for Alaska. He expects TO return in
time to go back before the rivers freeze
UP with supplies for the winter.

CAVALRY.
Much significance is attached to the
fact that the first orders to soldiers in
the west, excepting TO light artillery
men, went to commanders of troops
OF cavalry. Even now the orders and
contemplated orders refer to cavalry
men as much as to infantrymen.
Heavy coast guns cannot be man
aged by horses-in fact, for coast pro-
lection mounted troops would scarcely
be considered necessary. It is consid-
cred that the wholesale movement of
mounted troops is part of the conterl-
plated plan of quickly invading Cuba
If hostilities begin.
1t is intimated that the visit of Sena-
tor Proctor to Alger and Miles was
partly given up to the subsistence of
troops of cavalry in Cuba Whether it
would be necessary, in case of deport-
ing cavalry to the island. to forward
forage from the United States would
at once be serious question.
