QUESTION OF SPEED.

Plans Of the Three New Battleshipa Will
Probably He Materially Altered.
New YORK, Aug. ga special to
The Times from Washington says:
The question Of the speed Of the three
battleships provided for by the naval
programme has been reopened.
The proposition now under consider.
alton is to give the proposed ships q
displacement Of $1,000 tons instead of
1850, and to fix their minimum speed
at ~ knots instead Of l6. Chief Mel.
vile has been asked to submit designs
OF the newer improved machinery, in.
Guiding water tube boilers, which he
proposes to install, with q view to de.
veloping an l8 knot speed. These de.
signs ready, Chief Constructor HIGH.
born will set his bureau Of construction
and repair to work upon designs for a
hull to accommodate that machinery
with the requisite Gal ccace and the
desired batteries.
Will Be Copper sheathed.
The new scheme contemplates o
main battery of l2.inch and S.inch
guns, instead of l3.inch and 6.inch, as
in the present designs, this change be.
ing also prompted by the lessons
learned from the Santiago engagement.
A further and most important change
to be made in the new ships is the ad.
dition of copper sheathing. At q meet.
ing the board of construction voted
unanimously to have the new battle.
ships sheathed, with a'view to prevent.
ing the fouling of their bottoms and
the loss of speed resulting therefrom.
This is a reversal of the boards posi-.
ton on the sheathing question.
1t has stood heretofore three to one
against sheathing the bottoms of the
battleships, Commodore Hichborn be.
ing the only advocate of the reform.
The experience of the feet in Southern
waters during the present war, when
the battleships and cruisers have stead.

and the marine growth on their hulls
has convinced the board that, costly a;

in the long run, since it will enable the

New YORK, Aug. ga cablegram to
The Journal from Cavite, July 30, via
Hong Kong, reports that the corre'
spondent has spent two days IN inter-
viewing insurgent leaders. AS a result
the correspondent said he discovered
evidence of jealousy of the American
invasion, but no actual anti. Amerlcan
feeling. The dispatch adds:
"Aguinaldo is respectful towards
Admiral Dewey, General Merritt and
Consul Wlldman, and will go any
length to retain Consul Wildman's
good opinion, but he holds back from
giving energetic help to the United
States forces.
"He will give only a negative sort OF
assistance until he knows the exact
form which the American policy will
take. He is disturbed by Geographic
reports that the United States will
abandon the islands to Spain.
"There are some indications OF a
clash between General Merritt and
Aguinaldo."

Admiral Dewey Will Attend to Them
When Manila IL Captured.
SAN Francisco, Aug. A special
to The Chronicle from Cavita, dated
July 20, says: There are nine little
Spanish gunboats scattered about this
and the Caroline group of islands, and
when Manila has been stormed, Ad.
miral Dewey will turn his attention to
their capture or destruction. AS near
as can be ascertained, they are distrib.
uted as follows: In the Pasig river,
Manila, gunboats Cebu, lamar or Sa'
mar and Bulusan. At Iloilo, gunboat
FL Cano. At Zamboanga, gunboat
Pampanga. At Blalabao. gunboat
Calamanes. At Ponape, Caroline
islands, gunboat Lobos.
OF these vessels named Ell Cano is
the largest and best. Admiral Dewey
planned to send the Baltimore after
her some time ago, but decided in view
OF the danger OF a second feet coming
from Spain that it would be we'll to
keep his defense intact.
1t is probable that two Of the vessels
sunk by Dewey's feet may yet be
raised and rendered serviceable.

MAY REVOKE THE PAROLE
GOVERNOR MOUNT RECONSIDERING
THE MANLOVE CASE.
Very Frankly Says if He Has Made a
Mistake He Will Rec
tify 1t.

1t is possible that Governor Mount will re-
woke the parole of Earl Manlove. who was
released last Tuesday from the Jefferson
vile Reformatory, after serving only a few
months for criminal seduction. Since his
action the Governor has received several
letters from responsible people at Corners
vile in which they declare that the facts in
the case must have been misrepresented to
the Governor. They declare that the crime
was one which warranted the punishment
awarded the young man by the jury which
tried his case. Governor Mount was asked
about the case yesterday and said:
1T is true / am reconsidering the case,
and l shall make thorough investigation
before doing anything further. 1t is true
that some points in the case were repre-
scented to me by the friends of the young
man in an entirely different light from that
in which they are now represented by those
opposed to his release. 1t remains fer me
to determine which representation is COR
rect. / may have made mistake, and l am
frank to say that will correct it if have;
but it is strange that the persons opposed
to the parole of Manlove should not have
come forward while the case was under con-
sideration before the parole was granted"
Regarding the Winnie Smith case, the
Governor said that he had been informed
that there was rule under which the board
of managers of the Reformatory acts which
requires the board, in considering a parole,
to take into consideration the previous char
acter of the persons to be paroled, the ma
ture of the crime committed and the length
of time for which he was sentenced, as well
as his behavior while in prison. If that
rule was not among those governing the
board he would insist that it be lncor-
porated in the rules. Governor Mount is of
the opinion that the board of managers has
the right to reconsider its action and revoke
the parole of Smith if it sees fit.

THE STOVE MEMS STRIFE
JUDGE BAKER CITES ONE OF THE
FACTIONS FOR CONTEMPT.
Rival Agents Engage in n Battle in
Steuben County, Despite the
Courts Order.

Judge Baker, of the United States Court,
yesterday cited for contempt of court the
Wrought Iron Range Company of ST. Louis.
James K. Dick, a. r. Maupin, Rollie Del
witt, Harry Middleton and F. Van Camp.
March 80 d restraining order was granted,
on application of the Economist Furnace
Company, against the Wrought Iron Range
Company and its employees to prevent their
firm interfering in the plaintiffs business.
1t was shown at the time that the Econo-
mist Furnace Company and the Wrought
Iron Range Company are rivals in business,
and that the employees of the latter inter
fered with those of the former to the in
jury of their business. Agents of the two
companies sell stoves to farmers by sam
pie.
A few days ago, it is said. the employees
of the defendant company met those of the
Economist Furnace Company on highway
in Steuben county and assaulted them,
firing several shots at them.
The contempt proceedings will be heard

INDIANA FIGHTING MEN
STATE sTATIsTICIAN BEGINS TO
GATHER WAR INFORMATION.
Assessors Urged to Report as Soon as
POssibIe-A Suggestion of Adju-
tant General Gore.

The spring blanks. which are being sent
out to township assessors by the State
statistician are calculated to gather lnfor-
nation on a number of important subjects
that have not hitherto been touched by this
department There are seventy-two ques-
tons on the blanks. The first in point or
interest at the present time has some little
bearing on the present war crisis. Town
ship assessors are asked to give the num-
Der of able-bodied men in their respective
townships between the ages of eighteen and
forty-the war age. The work OF the as
SCISSORS is done in April, but the returns TO
the State statistician are rarely all in be-
fore July. They are urged this year TO re-
port as soon as possible after completing
the work, and it is believed that the ques-
ton regarding the fighting material of the
State will prompt earlier remittances. IL
was partly on the suggestion of Adjutanr
General Gore that the question was made Il
part of the regular list sent out by the
Department of Statistics.
The prevailing interest in the sugar beet
industry has prompted Mr.. Conner to as
certain the extent of the cultivation OF the
beet in the State. Assessors are asked to
report the number of acres in cultivation IN
their respective townships Among the 9TH
er questions asked are those which seek to
gather information relating to the DISPOSE
ton of several home products. The ques-
tons which seek to gain information on
lines never before worked out Satisfactorily
in the State ascertain the following: The
amount OF timber and lumber sawed In
every county and the value of the product;
the amount of all cereals used in the manu-
facture of flour. meal, cerealine, starch etc.,
and the value of the products; the amount
of homegrown tobacco used in the manu-
facture of cigars, chewing tobacco cigar
cites, ETC., and the value of the products;
the amount of spirituous, malt and vinous
liquors manufactured from home products
and the value thereof; the extent of muni-
cipal Indebtedness, both bonded and float
ing, covering all cities and towns; the ex-
tent of township indebtedness, both floating
and bonded; the salaries of officers of cities
and towns.

WILL SEAT 1850.
Capacity at the New Cycle Track
Park.

The Indianapolis Cycle Track Association
will begin work soon on laying out the
ground for the construction of the buildings
and track. The ground is situated within
the city limits Immediately north of the
Business Mems Driving Park. The general
plan for the construction of the track and
buildings has been drawn. 1t shows a quar-
ter-mile track completely surrounded by
grand stand and seats. The track is oval in
shape lying lengthwise to the east and
west, with the starting point on the south
side. The grand stand, which will seat $500,
will be on the south side opposite the tape.
On either side Of it will be covered seats
for $500 people, and all the remainder of the
distance will be taken up by uncovered
seats to the number of 10000, making a seat
ing capacity of 1850. The track will be
banked ten feet at the turns and FIVE feet
on the stretches. Under the grand stand
will be the training quarters and quarters
for the racing men.
The company has decided to offer prize
for a name for the new park. An invitation
is extended to the general public to submit
names, and the person submitting the one
chosen by the company will receive a season
ticket. Names must be sent to Herbert w.

path along Washington street between the

the town of Irvington. The asphalt pave
ment in the city will be extended to the

improved through the town Of Irvington
but there will still be a strip of about
mile in length, which sometimes is almost
impossible for wheelmen. Property own

consented TO allow the path to be built
next to the property line and the people
OF Irvington have raised $3.50 toward its con-
struction: The work will cost about $3.50,
