CENSURED THE SECRETARY.
And Then They Reelected Him for
Another Term.

Detroit, Aug. 4.-The league of Amer
lcan municipalities this afternoon
adopted the report of it's special au-
diting committee. censuring it's secre-
tary. II. f. Wilkinson of New York, for
irregularities in the handling of the
leagues funds. The league, however.
reelected the secretary in considera-
uon of his services in perfecting the
organization and on the theory that
his failure to turn over the funds to the
treasurer and to furnish the vouchers
required by the auditing committee
were technical errors. The following
ofhcers were elected: President, Mayor
Black of Columbus: secretary, b. f.
Wilkinson: treasurer Mayor Taylor OF

trustees are: Mayor MacVicar of Des

FEAR AN UPRISING.
The People VIII Turn savageIy on the
Dynasty After Peace.


! New York, Aug. A dispatch to the
Tribune from Madrid says: The signi-
4 ficant feature of the situation to-day is
the fact that the queen regent and SenoT
Sagasta are both desirous that the de-
tails of the final draft of the treaty Of
peace should, If possible, be conducted
in Paris by Senior Leon y Castillo, the
Spanish ambassador to France, and the
| United States ambassador or commits
sioners.
The reason for this is that Senor Cas-
tillo, being devotedly loyal to the dy-
nasty, is known to possess statesman
like capacity of the highest order, and
his experience and familiarity with in
ternational law are thought by the
queen regent to be greater than those
of any other available Spanish diplo-
mat.
Owing in a great measure to the patri-
otic efforts of General Polavieja, a tacit
truce now seems established between all
factors of internal disorder. Neither the
Carlists, the military leaders, nor the re-
publicans wish to come before the Coun-
try at the present moment as the allies
of the United States. This truce is like
ly to last until the peace treaty is
signed. The feeling of all classes here
Is that the humiliation resulting from
this disastrous war does not fall upon
the Spanish nation. but upon the dy-
nasty and government, and that the ma
tional honor cannot now be affected, no
matter what crushing terms America
demands.
Opinions on all sides are that the mo-
ment peace is signed the government
will be made a scapegoat and the people
will then. turn savagely against the
dynasty and make it answerable for the
consequences. The caprice of the Ma
drid public was manifested last night
by the Kissing of some naval officers
and naval cadets in uniform as they
took their seats in one of the Madrid
theaters.
Much nonsense is talked here about
the debts of Cuba and Porto Rico. 1t
may be stated once and for all that
Porto Rico has no debt, and as to the
debt of Cuba, the royal DEGREES author
,zing the issue Of Cuban bonds, were,
unfortunately for Spain, so worded
that, even in the opinion of one of the
legal advisers of the crown. the Cuban
debt is purely a Spanish debt imposing
no liability whatever on Europe. The
Bank of Spain holds nearly 900, 900, 900
Of pesetas worth Of Cuban bonds Of var
ious denominations. Its position must
become very critical should the United
states, as is generally expected, decline
to assume any liability for them. either
directly or by saddling a part of them
upon Cuba.

In Favor of Removal.

At the county seat meeting held in Jansen Park last Thursday night, Attorney Pole McPhetrige, being call ed by the chairman made an able and most convincing argument in favor of the proposition. He declared among other things that there was positively no argument that could be made against removal. That while he was one of the heaviest property owners at or near Dallas, and while he loved the old town, and felt very badly to see it die, yet that was a matter of the past, it was dead, and that fact could neither be avoided or remedied. He re- ferred to the fact that there was no hotel or other accommodations for people who came from abroad to attend courts, and that as far as the oppor- tunity for camping was concerned, those who might want to camp during term of court could do so as well ln every particular and just as freely at Mena as at Dallas. Mr. McPhetrlge concluded by declaring that nearly all the people of Dallas and vicinity, where he now lives, would vote for the removal, and that out of 100 votes there, not more than or 5 would vote against it.

THE KATAHDIN.

Naval experts have argued for and
against the value of the ram vessel
Katahdin as factor in a sea fight,
while all admit that the ram itself is an
extremely powerful and dangerous
weapon. A ship designed exclusively
for ramming is something which ia
still TO be tested, and at present the
arguers are holding their peace, wait
log to hear what the odd-looking craft
will have to cay when she confronts an
armed enemy.
On her last trip she failed to make
the speed required by her contract, and
improved propellers of manganese
bronze were substituted for those origi-
nallv used. These had the effect of
materially increasing her speed and
adding to the discomfort of those on
board, for the work of speeding her is
not at all agreeable to those who are
below when she is in hurry. When
she is going at full speed the only OBJ
iects visible above the deck are the
steel coming tower. which is used as
pilot house; the smoke pipes, the ven
tilators and slender signal mast, and
below decks everything is smother OF
oil aud heat and desfening racket.
The steel ram of the Katahdin weighs
about fourteen tons, and as her null,
about fifteen feet back from the stem,
is of the shovel nose order, she throws
O great mass of water up over her deck
when under way. As this ram is her
only weapon of offence, it seems as if
this trouble could not be avoided.
A regularity of her hull is the knife
edge which the deck makes in its pro
lection over the under water part OF her
null. This is expected TO exert great
cutting force in case she should succeed
in getting her ram through the plating
of a ship she intended to sink. She has
the advantage of being remarkably
quick in answering her helm, and IS
steady going, even at her highest speed.
Her disad vantages are said to be that she
can strike deep enough to hurt heavy
battleship which she could catch, while
the lighter armored vessel, which she
could sink, could get away from her oy
superior speed.
Another point which has been MADE
is the possibility that her ram DOW
would be twisted off by the motion OF y
vessel which she might strike while 1T
was at full speed in an effort to escape.
All these points, however, are purely
speculative, and those who are inter-
ested in the boat are awaiting to see
what will happen when she runs against
Spanish battleship.-[N. Y. Tribune.
