THE NAHANT ARRIVES.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE monitor Ma
liant arrived early this morning from
Philadelphia and anchored off Tompllins-
willie, S l. The Nahant left League ISL
and on the 18th. and was towed to this
port by a tug She is manned mostly by
the Naval reserve.
In many ways the trip was noteworthy.
The young gunners of the reserves took
occasion to beat the Nahants firing rec
ord. and completed eclipsed the firing rec
ord of the Passaic, her sister ship.
Thousands of people visited the monitor
to-day to examine her old-fashioned ord
nance.
The engines IN the Nahant are old, but
they still work without trouble. They
are the same engines that propelled her
during the wsr. and while somewhat
crude in appearance. are capable Of effect
i've service for many years 10 come.
The best test of the crew was shown in
the handing of the guns. In the past
their training has been with the modern
rapid-hre ordnance. Formerly the best
record for quick loading and firing of guns
of the Nahant or her sister beat was
two shots in thirteen minutes. But when
the New York naval reserve took charge
of the brace Of big guns they fired four
shots in sixteen minutes.

Commissioners to Make an Effort to

Havana, April 1850 p. m.-This

secretary of posts and communications.

known lawyer. designated by the auto
nomist government as a parliamentary
commission to approach the insurgent
leaders III eastern Cuba, left by rail for
Batabano, from which point they will
proceed by coast steamer to Santa
Cruz del Sur, to ascertain whether the
insurgent government in the province
of Puerto Principe will accept the
armistice
If received, the commission will indi-
cate a neutral zone and propose condi-
tons and place of meeting. Senores
Juan Ramirez and Silvestre Anclada,
prominent autonomists and members of
the central committee, have been ap-
pointed by the committee with the same
end in view. They left this morning
for Santa Cruz del Sur, where they will
use their influence in the name of the
autononi-t party, but independently of
the parliamentary commission.
There are great expectations as to
the result which is anxiously awaited.
At ten o'clock Gen. Blanco had con-
ference with the president and secre-
tary of the commercial ber-short-
ly after the action of the American
Senate began to be freely reported
about the city-with reference to the
commercial interests involved and with

ical parties.
The extras published this evening
containing reports of the action of the
American Senate yesterday were greed

This afternoon the Spanish steamer

This decision has been received by
the general public with great Roolness.
The people say they are prepared for a
fight and are waiting for the first shot
to be fired, the sooner the better.

SPANISH MINISTER
Completes Arrangements to Remove
His Gountrymen From Tampa to
Cuba--.Diplomats Give Up the Idea
of Mediation.

Washington, April 1.-THE Spanish
minister, Senior Polo, to-day closed a
charter for an American steamer of
the Plant line, which will carry prac-
tically the entire Spanish colony of
Tampa, Fla, to Havana, tomorrow.
In making the charter the minister
gave assurances that in case of hostil-
titles the steamer would be cleared from
Havana, given ample protection and
allowed to return to an American port
The Spanish party will number four
hundred and eight, most of them be-
ing young men, who have offered their
services in the Spanish army in case
Of war. Some women and children are
included, as they are a part Of the
colony making the move, and it is said
also that the hostility to Spanish resi-
dents in that locality has become
marked of late. The consul and vice
consul, with two assistants, will re-
main at Tampa This is the point at
which seven regiments Of infantry have
been ordered to mobilize within the
next few days, although there is no in
timation that the departure Of the Span
ish colony is due to the concentration
Of United States troops at Tampa.
The Spanish minister had a compar-
atiyely quiet Sunday, finding time to
take a drive with the Swedish minis
ter, Mr.. Grippe, the two having been
associated here in diplomatic service
twenty-five years ago. Senior Polo re-
ceived a number Of dispatches from
Madrid, but they developed no new
phases OF the question, and did not
bear out the reports that Spain would
seek the good offices of the United
States in case the House resolution be-
comes a law No official information
has been received here as to the re-
ported negotiations with Gen. Gomez
toward his surrender, although there is
no disposition to discredit the report

HOW ARMCR PLATE IS MANUFAC-
TURED.

In these days of cheap iron and
steel il. seems at first thought surpris-
ing that armor plate should cost $500
per ton. Yet an American company
has contracted TO send a large amount
of plate TO Russia at an even higher
price.
The high cost Of arnor is accounted
for by the enormous cost Of the plant,
by the difficulty Of handling such
heavy pieces Of metal and by the COM
plexity Of the process. A piece Of
steel weighing $4,000 pounds is no tri-
fling thing to handle, and it takes from
three to six weeks to make a piece OF
armor plate.
Each plate has a different shape to
fit the precise place On the ships side
which it is to occupy a huge press,
capable of pressure of 100 tons to the
square inch, shapes the metal before
it is hardened. When the plate is to
be tempered it is heated in enc Of the
great furnaces-all the handling being
done by gigantic cranes-and then
plunged six or eight feet deep into a
huge oil tank filled with a mixture of
crude petroleum, fish oil and rosin.
Here it stays until cool. 1t is then put
into the furnace and annealed, after
which it is put into a pit and covered
with cinders for some sixty hours. OF
course there are huge borers and PLAN
ers for finishing the plates and proving
the bolts for fastening them TO the
ship.
In the Harveyizing process the sur
face Of the plate is carbonized to a
depth Of three to four inches by spread
ing silica sand, slack and a clay mix
ture o--r the plate and subjecting it
to an intense heat, from which it is al
lowed to cool gradually in the furnace.
