stitution of water tube boilers for the
Scotch boilers adopted for the Illinois. but
as it was shown that it was not proposed
by such substitution to increase the speed,
the board voted down the proposition.
Later when the experience derived from
the Santiago sea fight showed advantage
of speed in naval warfare. the subject was
reopened but 1t was demonstrated that
with the limitation as to displacement and
cost imposed by the law and the restric-
ton as to the depth of draught imposed
by the shallowness Of most of our harbors,
it was impossible to increase the speed Of
the ships without either reducing their
armor protection or lessening their arma.
ment. 1t then was determined to adhere
to the general designs laid down, but to
give preference in awarding the contracts
to the bidders who would offer to produce
the highest speed.
The proposition now under consideration
is to give the proposed ships a displace-
ment of 1900 tons instead of II, 500 and 10
fix their minimum speed at IS knots instead
of 16. Chief Engineer Melville has been
asked to submit designs Of the newer I'M
proved machinery. including water tube
boilers. which he proposes to install, with
a view to developing Is knots speed. These
designs ready, Chief Constructor HIGH
born will set his bureau Of construction
and repair to work on designs Of hull
to accommodate that machinery with the
requisite coal space and the desired bat
teries.
The new scheme contemplated main

instead Of thirteen-inch and eight-inch as

JONES OF ARKANSAS
Not in Favor of Extending Our Terri
tory-Einish With Cuba First

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2-Senator Jones OF
Arkansas, Chairman of the National Demo-
cratic Committee, who was in the city con-
ferring with the prominent members OF
his party, had this to say concerning our
foreign policy before he left for New York:
1.-THE United States is pledged to the
world that independent stable government
shall be established in Cuba. When 1
voted for that resolution nothing was said
about imperialism. This country cannot
afford to go back on Its pledge. These are
my private views. which believe are those
of the Democratic party.
II DO not know what conditions may arise
respecting Cuba, but have never known a
Spanish-American colony capable Of self
government, and 1t is possible that since
we set out to free Cuba from Spanish
domination, we may be compelled to pur-
sue a course which will eventuate in the
control of the island. While I am not in
favor Of the acquisition of territory in the
tropics, this course would be less objec-
tionable than any other.
"Cuba is adjacent to the United States as
is Porto Rico, and the thought Of annexing
the Philippines is preposterous, under the
circumstance, and not in accord with the
principles handed down from the days of
Thomas Jefferson.
1--WE began this war to secure the inde-
pendence Of Cuba and nothing more. When

sion which 1 constantly hear in conversa-
ton and read in print is: "Monroeism is
dead
The misconception arises from con-
founding the Washington Farewell Address
doctrine with the complement Of 1t In the
Monroe doctrine.
The Washington principle was that the
Americans must remain out of European
alliances and entanglements. The Monroe
principle was that Europeans must keep
their hands off the American continent,
retaining their possessions according to
the status quo but not charging their col
onial holdings and conquests. The status
quo is not respected in a war waged for
the dellverance of Cuba and Porto Rico
from Spanish rule, but the essential prin-
ciple of Monroeism that European powers
are not to enlarge their territorial domin-
ion and political sovereignty in the West
ern hemisphere will not have been re-
nounced nor compromised. The Monroe
doctrine will be strengthened rather than
impaired by the expulsion Of the Spaniards
from Cuba. Monroeism, instead of being
killed off, is vitalized and Refrigerated
by the enlargement Of American influence
in the West Indies.
What English writers on American az
fairs fail to perceive is the irrelevancy of
their own Interpretation of the Monroe
doctrine. The principle of the Hands of
the American continent" Is emphasized
rather than minimized when Hawaii and
the Spanish West Indies are brought d.
rectly under the influence of the United
States. If European governments re-
spected the Monroe doctrine from 1923 to
1898 and made no attempt except on one
occasion-in Mexico-to increase their
holdings on that continent while they were
enlarging their possessions in Asia, Africa
and the South Seas, they will be unlikely
to reverse their policy when the American
flag is raised In Hawaii and the West In
dies after successful war and a signif-
icant demonstration of American naval
efficiency. If they were to do this they
would speedily be convinced of the vitality
of Monroeism.

NEED FASTER SHIPS
Bids for the Three New Warships to Be
Reopened-Speed Wanted


NEW YORK, Aug. "A special to the
Times from Washington says:
The question of three battleships pro-
vided for by the new naval program has
been reopened again. 1t was supposed the
matter had been settled when Secretary
Long announced few days ago that the
preference would be given in awarding the
contracts for the construction Of the new
vessels to the bidders who offered guaran-
tees of the highest speed. retaining the
general characteristics of design as set
forth in the departments circular. 1t is
proposed now to change these designs
completely, to drop everything that has
the intention of making the new vessels
larger than was intended and speedier
and consequently costlier. To do this will
require an amendment to the law provid-
ing for the building Of the three battle
ships. That law says that they shall be
of a displacement Of about II, 900 tons and
shall not cost more than 50, 900 each.
The board of construction decided to
make the displacement 1850 tons, which
It considered as far as 1t could go and
keep within the law. When the plans were
first under consideration the board agreed
to make the ships practical repetitions OF
the Illinois type with such improvements
that could be added without materially
modifying that type The speed was to be
16 knots.

ONLY THE SENATE
No Special Session of Congress to Be
Called

Called
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-There will be
no extra session of Congress, though the
Senate will have to be called for promp.
ratification Of the treaty of peace, if the
present plans Of the President prevail. 1t
is stated at the White House that unless
there should be some extraordinary devel-
opment the House will not meet until the
regular session next December This state
ment is made on the authority of the Presi-
dent himself, In answer to inquiries in con-
tradiction of reports circulating among
public men that Congress will soon meet
to draft the legislation to meet the demands
that will follow the close of the war, as
well as give formal assent on the part of
the Senate to the treaty. The military oc-
cupation of the territorial acquisitions of
this government will In no wise necessitate
further legislation expressly authorizing
the continuance of a large military force,
according to the view Of the President.
Persons who conferred with the Presi-
dent today positively assert that there Is
no necessity for special legislation to au-
thorize the keeping of the great army of
volunteers.
The President, 1t Is understood, takes the
ground that requirements In the volunteer
act for disbandment of volunteers on the
termination of the war does not contem-
plate disbandment until the emergencies
that are incident to this war are over and
does not prevent the maintenance of a
large body of troops in territorial acqu!si-
tons until order is restored.
A well-known public man, who was in
conference with the President today. sug-
gested that the necessary military ocoupa-
ton Of our conquered territory would In
volve the maintenance for two years of an
army of about 100000 men.

livered at the Republican District Conven-
ton today:
Il am very grateful for your continued
kindness to me, and being An Portland, II
is not unsuitable for me to come here and
say so.
Il have no other purpose than this. A
newspaper the other day announced that
l would come here and open up the cam
paign. This Is not so. shall not open any
campaign for the simple reason that there
seems to be no campaign to open.
I'm this district there appears to be thus
far, great harmony In both parties as to
the great issues of the past, and I shall
leave to somebody else the task of disturb
ing It, All over the country also there is
a dearth Of political feeling. 1 never knew
less of it in all the years In which 1 have
known of such things. To me this is fortu-
nate for the country. do not refer to the
war alone. The war is taking care Of itself
and seems likely to be soon finished by the
fighting qualities Of our soldiers qualities
not diminished by thirty-three years of
peace and by the skill of our naval gun
ners, engineers and sailors, which skill the
general education of our people seems to
have wonderfully increased. The unfalter-
Ing courage of both soldiers and sailors is
a cause of pride to every American.
The problems after the war will be the
most troublesome and will demand the
most earnest efforts of us all For my
part. hope that all these problems may
be worked out consistently with our time
honored and dearly bought institutions
and with tho traditions Of our wise fore
fathers.
Returning to the purpose for which !
came here. I tender my thanks to you for
your continued and unvarying good will
That good will, permit me to say, has not
consisted half 30 much in bestowirg and
continuing to bestow on me a position of
distinction, as 1t has In the large liberty
you have always given me in Interpreting
your wishes. I am proud to say that that
consideration Is not the characteristic OF

the entire island group. He will travel with

nection with It, In their work on the is
land. the commissioners will be Joined by
Stanford b. Dole and Judge Freer of the
Hawaiian Supreme Court.
The stay of the commission in the Sand
witch Islands promises to be shorter than
was at first anticipated. Mr.. Ray said the
commissioners were not agreed upon the
matter, some thinking the work could be
disposed of b. October 10, others believing
1t would be month la ter before they would
return to the United States.
II cannot speak for the commission"
said DR.. Ray. II believe from what talk
I had with the commissioners that the in
quiry will be on the most general lines.
The question to be decided is what form of
government shall be recommended. The
commissioners are naturally non-communi-
cative as to their ideas, and will no doubt
wait until they have completed their work
before making a statement of their views.
II understand that the physical char
acteristics of the country, the character of
the population and other matters will be
closely inquired into. Another question
which the resolution creating the commits
sion bound 1t to consider, is the disposition
to be made OF the imported labor on the is

also be considered.
