AFTER WARSHIPS.
The United States Is Sure of Getting Two
FROM Japan.

New York, March "a special to the
Herald from Washington says: 1t is
known that the authorities expect to
spend $15,000,0o0 or $50, 900 900 in pur-
chasing ships, If such sum can be spent
JudlcfouSly and to the advantage of
this government. Secretary Long ad-
mitted that he has a fist of vessels
prepared which Commander Brownson
will inspect particularly and which this
government hopes to acquire, but he
declines to make it public. Not only is
the navy department searching private
ship yards for vessels that are near
completion, but foreign governments
through our diplomatic representatives
accredited to them have been ap-
proached with view to acquiring some
OF the most formidable ships that be-
long to or are being constructed for
their navies. So far the negotiations
have met with no satisfactory re-
sponse.
In fact, from information which the
authorities have received apprehension
has arisen that this government may
be unable to increase it's sea power by
the purchase of men of war under con-
struction or in the possession of for
elgn powers. But the obstacle which
has developed in the shape of the dis
inclination of powers to part with ships
the president and his advisers hope to
sweep away by the employment of lib
eral sums of money and to add to the
navy within a short time fleet of war
ships which will make undoubted our
superiority over the navy of Spain and
our ability to defend the United States
and punish our enemies. 1t is evident
that the United States is certain of
getting possession of two warships
under construction for Japan at Phil
adelphia and San Francisco Aside
from these ships the navy department

MONTGOMERY IN HAVANA.
Anchored Near this Maine. Surrounded by
Spanish Warships.

Havana, March 9-The Montgomery
arrived in Havana this morning The
| arrival was very quiet ii being gener-
ally understood that she comes to re-
place the coast survey steamer Fern as
quarters for Captain Sigsbee and others.
Commander Converse of the Montgom-
cry is a high authority on explosives
and his advice will be useful to the
court of inquiry into the loss of the
Maine.
After firing the usual salute and be-
ing saluted in return, the Montgomery
was moored in the principal harbor
near the wreck of the Maine and in the
center of a circle of Spanish ships.
Later in the day Commander Converse
received the associated press corre-
spondent on board the cruiser. though
he had nothing to tell him beyond the
facts already sent. Captain Sigsbaa
Lieutenant Commander Wainwright
and Ensign Poulson will occupy quar-
ters on the Montgomery, the Fern leav-
ing Havana this afternoon
The Montgomery is as trim and neat
as possible. Nobody is allowed on board
without permission but nobody Is ex-
Guided If business or courtesy demands
the visit. There is no intimation of the
length of the cruisers stay in this har-
bor any more than there is any news
of the duration of the sessions of the
court of inquiry here.
The court held Its usual sessions to-
day, examining the divers. Only the
spanish divers We're a work and they
were only occupied part of the day. The
Wreckers are steadily removing the

which will be dumped into the sea.
