UP THE SITUATION
America, If the Events of the Week
Had Been Designed With Il Set
Purpose, Could Not Have Pro-
duced II Better EHect-COmment
of Leading London Journals.

LONDON, March PA diplomat,
who probably is the recipient Of more
confidence than any other man in Lon
don, has expressed himself as follows,
on the Cuban question:
IF America had designed, with a set
purpose, the events of the past week
she could not by any possibility have
developed anything which, in it's i'm
pressive dignity, would have had such
al effect upon Europe as the way in
which the executive, congress and the
people have met the crisis, and risen to
the responsibilities involved in dealing
with the Cuban question"
Such is undoubtedly the general feel
ing Every one here now recognizes
that the United States does not desire
war is actuated by humanitarian SEN
timents, but will not shrink from war if
it is necessary to right the wrongs of
Cuba and exact satisfaction from
Spain.
In the course of a long article the
speaker expresses the opinion that the
$50, 900 appropriation for the nation
al defense really makes for peace, "al-
though there is always danger Incl
dent to the possession of war material,
that the country, assisted by the new
school, of which Capt. Mahan is the
prophet, may be tempted to use the
weapons just bought"
The speaker adds: "In the face of a
possible deficit bank crisis and the
suspension of the revival of industry,
the United States has deliberately
shown the world that it will not be
trifled with. The Spanish patriots
would do we'll to heed the warming If
they try to retain Cuba by force, their
failure is certain and they will hardly
less certainly bring down the fabric of
the government in Spain.''
On the other hand the Spectator. al
though contending that preparation is
generally the. surest way of avoiding
war, thinks that the proposition does

BERLIN, March 1.-THE German
press this week has given utterance TO
the unanimous conviction that war be-
tween the United States and Spain is
probable, although it is believed here
that the latter country will do every
thing to avoid it.
In diplomatic circles 1t is said that
Spain, during the past week, sent a
circular note to the cabinets of Europe

2nent hoped the rebellion in Cuba would

adding that, if foreign influences had
not stimulated the insurgents and sup
ported them with arms, men, money
and ammunition, there would at the
present moment be no insurgents left.
SO far as the correspondent has been
able to ascertain the document has not
ELECTED any replies.
The opinion that the United States is
not honestly attempting to preserve
peace is widely disseminated in Ger
many, and finds ready credence not
only in the newspapers, but in official
and diplomatic circles.
One newspaper interviewed United
States Ambassador White and printed
his opinion that the majority of Amer
leans are anxious to maintain peace.
But the newspaper added that Mr.
Whites opinion was not supported by
facts saying that the vote of con-
Sress was unanimously regarded as a
clear indication that war is Coming
and that the Americans want it.
Several papers predict that, in the
event of hostiIities Spain will disap-
pear from the map of the European
powers. after fierce war of piracy"

NECESSITIES OF NAVY
HOUSE COMMITTEE GIVES IT'S AT
TENTION TO THE SUBJECT
No Action Regarding the Amount of
Money to Be Expended for Docks
--One of the Warshfps to he Built
ON the Pacific COast-NavaI Or
ders Issued.

WASHINGTON, March r.. The
naval committee of the house did not
reach any conclusion today relative to
the number and location of the dry
docks to be authorized in the naval ap-
preparation bill. which is the main
question left open. The general opln-
ion in the committee seems to favor
three or four new docks.
The Bunce board recommended new
docks at Portsmouth, N. H, Boston,
Algiers, La, and Mare Island, Cal, and
an enlargement of the dock at League
island, Pa, so that it will
accommodate the largest battleshlp.
The Pennsylvania delegation is
'straining every nerve to secure an en-
tirely new dock at League island.
Docks capable of accommodating bat
tleships would have to have depth Of
channel leading to them of thirty feet,
and Commodore Matthews, of the
bureau Of yards and docks, who was
summoned before the committee today,
rather startled the committee by his
statements as to the depth of the chan
mel to at least one Of the proposed
docks, that at Mare island, Cal. He
said the channel was not over twenty
feet for two miles and that it would re-
quire 100000 to dredge it to the re-
qusite depth of thirty feet.
The channel at Boston is only
tWenty-seven feet, and the channel at
League island is about the same depth.
This complicates matters considerably,
and when the committee adjourned to-
day little progress toward conclu-
sion had been made.
The committee has decided that one
of the three battleships they decided
to authorize yesterday shall be built on
the Pacific coast.
Six Million Each.
These great war vessels, which are
to be the peers of any af1oat, are to cost
5000, 900 each, instead of $5,OOO,OOO, as
reported yesterday.
Chief Engineer Melville appeared be-
fore the committee today and urgently
recommended an increase of 100 in the
engineer officers of the navy. He said
such an increase was imperatively
necessary in view of the number Of
ships about to go into commission.
These additional engineers, if authoriz
ed. would have to be appointed from
civil life.
Representatives Russell, Hill and
Sperry, of Connecticut, were before the
committee to oppose the recommended
tions Of the ordnance bureau for the
establishment of a government cart
ridge factory. The bureau recommend
ed an appropriation of $4,000 for this
purpose.
The business of manufacturing car
tTidges is a large industry in Connect
cut and Rhode Island, and the repre-
sentatives from those states opposed
the proposition for a government car
fridge factory as a menace to their
own industries.

PACIFIC COAST DEFENSE.
Orders Sent to the BattIeshfp Oregon
From Washington.

WASHINGTON, March Fin making pre-
parations for the possibilities of the future,
the navy department has by no means over
looked the strategic defense of the Pacific
coast. To guard properly this important sea-
board it has been found necessary to send an
advance guard some little distance down the
Southern Pacific ocean. The battleship Ore
gon. the sister of the Indiana, and one Of the
most powerful vessels in the navy, has been
selected for this work.
Secretary Long today telegraphed orders to
her commander, through the commandant of
the Mare Island navy yard. to leave San
Francisco and cruise down the Southern coast
The vessel will report from time to time by
cable to the navy department, and receive
such instructions as changes In conditions
may warrant.
At present she Is taking on her ammuni-
ton, about fifty tons in all, which was un-
loaded at the powder station when the ship
went north last fall to have her bilge keels
put in place at the Bremerton naval station.
AS soon as this work Is done, she is expect
ed to sail southwark.
1t was rumored that the Oregon would pro-
coed to the Asiatic station to reinforce the
United States squadron at Hong Kong. AS

NAVY YARD IN A STIR.
The Work Being Rushed on the Ves-
sells at Vallejo.

VALLEJO. Cal, March 12-Everything Is
astlr and hustle at the navy yard. Hundreds
OF workmen are being added to the usual force
to rush the work of preparing the Charleston,
Philadelphia, Hartford Pensacola and Adams
for service. The Yorktown is awaiting re-
pairs, but no orders have been received from
the navy department regarding the work to
be done on her.
The Charleston and Philadelphia have been
ordered completed at once, and 1t is chiefly on
this account that so n any eX IA empIoye s have
been added to the pay roll though the other
departments at the yards are also swelling
their working lists.
On Thursday the construction department
sent in acquisitions for $50 extra men, and to-
day asked for 200 more. The regular work OF
the yard is proceeding as usual, but night
and day shifts will be employed on the
Charleston and Philadelphia. The yard is
amply prepared to turn out fast work new
machinery having just been put in and more
is under course of construction, which, when
completed, will Doubt the capacity of the
shops.
A monster boring and tubing mill is near
ing completion, and a hydraulic riveting ma
chine will soon be in operation. The only
trouble likely to be experienced in case of
emergency is the securing of sufficient force
of workmen.
The work originally planned to be done on
the Philadelphia will require six months but
under the present urgent call only absolutely
necessary work will be performed and the
vessel will be ready for sea in about four
weeks The Charleston viii te Ear lilly tested

TO ARM AUXILIARIES.
Plans for Turning Them Into Cruis-

of an Hour

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Emer-
gency preparations were continued to-
day in all branches Of the navy and
war departments. The bureau of con-
struction of the navy department finds
itself exceptionally well prepared for
any emergency work that it may be
called upon to perform in connection
with the auxiliary cruisers. 1t is due
to an organization which, in ordinary
times, is so arranged that the force can
be made speedily available for emer-
gency demands.
1t is said that less than an hours
work would be required in the bureau
office here to complete all OF the plans
for the transformation of two of the
best ships on the Atlantic into auxil-
larry cruisers.
The detailed work of reconstruction
could be accomplished with like dis
