ACTIVITY AT NEWPORT.

Peaceful Reports Given Out.
Newport, r. l., March A.--There has
been the greatest activity yesterday
and today at the torpedo station in
preparing charges for torpedo outfits
and also for perfecting the defenses at
the entrance Of Narragansett bay. In
the machine shops at the station the
lathes cutting the shell for fuses and
primers were run to their full capacity,
while extra hands were in the fuse
room loading and packing. Hands
also have been taken on in the gun
cotton and smokeless powder plants.
which are being pushed to their full
capacity.
1t Is claimed at the station that all
this stir has no war significance, and
Is only for the purpose of catching up
with orders, but 1t is known that while
the orders for fuses and primers were
sufficiently numerous to keep the plant
in operation OH ordinary time for some
months, this work had been so por-
toned out as to be completed by the
time the ships now building were ready
for supplies.
Since the war scare there has been
q large demand for fuses for the ships
fitting out. and as there is practically
no reserve supply extra work has been
made compulsory, and that, too. with
out providing for regular orders. The
gun cotton plant has been making
only enough of its product to keep the
smokeless powder plant supplied. but
now 1t is working up the supplies as
well as keeping up the supply for the
running of the powder mill to its full
capacity.

AMBASSADOR WHITE TALKS.

Onr Government Would Not Enter
Into Alliance With Other Nations.
London. March 1.-THE Sunday Spe-
cial publishes from its Berlin corre-
spondent an interview with United
States Ambassador White on the at
titude Of the United States toward
Spain and the Cuban situation. Am
bassador White. according to this dis
patch, declared the statement that the
United States had entered into an al
lance with England and Japan abso-
lutely without foundation.
"The United States" Mr.. White Is
reported to have said, will never bind
herself by such an alliance. President
against the tradition which forbds all
such complications in Americas in
ternational relations. Least of all will
it do so for the sake of American in
terests In the far east.
"The fear Of war with Spain must
not be taken too seriously. The $780,
100000 credit is no proof that the Uni
ted States intends going to war. since
the government has long demanded
such a credit for the purposes Of har-
Dor defense. Ikis, however. had been
postponed owing to the nlggardly pol
icy congress had hitherto pursued"
Characterizing as quite untrue" the
statement that the United States had
placed large orders with Herr Krupp,
Mr.. White is reported as adding.
America possesses ammunition of all
kinds. and war material in the gov
ernment factories sufficient for every
emergency"

Patrick kcehan'S Statement

Patrick Keehan has left paper con-

story brick dwelling house in our city
with vol known Wilmingtonian, at the
REPUBLICAN, office and his trials and
tribulations with certain lawyers as to tho
disposal of tho farm which he took in
trade for tho same. He valued his homo
at $500 and traded for farm supposed
to be worth S 81 500. He says tho farm has
been sold and he has as yet received
nothing for his interest in same.
The document contains some thirteen
pages OF closely written matter and goes
fully into the affair. What ho now wants
Is a settlement for tho farm which he says
was sold without mis- consent or know-
edge toa man named George First. Mr..
I. Gardner Little hold 900 mortgage
which was transferred to him by Harry p.
Scott. He then cites his experience with
some four or flvo we'll known attorneys
when he tried to get his case in tho Court
OF Chancery. He thinks he has good

A New Word Coined.

Philadelphia has invented a word that Is
not without its merits asaGonvenient sub
stitute for phrases more or less long and
complicated. In that city, SO The North
American reveals, "a person who has been
jolly, good fellow and who has reformed
is called "aink." No light on the
words etylnology Is given, and there is
not eyon hint as to what practical utility
it can bo to tho Philadelphians. But tho
first of these points is unimportant, and as
to the second any outside criticism would,
of course, be resented by our sensitive
neighbors.
1t were best to take for granted, there
fore, the fact that certain residents of the
Quaker City, at some period or other In
their lives, have been jolly good fellows.
Obviously they deserve to be styled
"ginks," and we hasten to add, as Tho
North American toes, that ''the word is
expressive Of contempt or admiration, &C
Corlleg to the company you arc In" This
is most interesting both absolutely and be-
cause it throws new light on tho inhabit-
ants of that little understood community.
The editors and orators Of Philadelphia
have hitherto almost ignored the wealth of
chronological material that lies around
them, but Of late they, too, have "roform-
ed, " to the great cdif1cation Of tho general
public. New York Times.

PRAYERS FOR NAMES DEAD.

Rev o. q. Buddington preached in
Bethany Baptist Church last night on tho
subject The Futility Of Praying for tho
Maine's dead" The text was from Lukr,
1875:
"And beside all this, bntweon US and you
there is a great gulf fixed. SO that they
which would pass from hence to YOU can :
not; neither can they pass to us, that
would come from hence"
Among other things Dr. Buddlngton
said: The loss of tho Maine has been
made the OCCASION of making very promi--
ncnt tho Roman Catholic doctrine Of max
ing prayers for tho rcposc Of the dead.
With great frequency and prominence Of

among the varied statements made the
actual conditions have been touched
upon, but nothing authoritative has
been permitted to escape from the

Portsmouth. N. H.. March 14.--Plans
for the placing Of submarine mines for
Portsmouth harbor have been mapped
out. and a large force of men have
been actively at work near the forth

ever. that these mines will be of little

fathoms in the channel from the en-
trance at New Castle to within a short

of men have visited the navy yard

president, Mrs. Martha Burgess Jen-

weeks been organizing a crusade
against the shirt waist. She did not
want her command to appear at Dem

much working of her persuasive tom
que she induced her forces to discard
the shirt waist except for travelling. In
the face Of all this Mrs. Jennings at
tended several sessions in the tabooed
wearing apparel, the only woman
in the delegation so attired. 1t was a
transportation contretemps. All her
swell gowns went by express to Den

travelled with her. Mrs. Jennings ar
rived on time, but her trunks did not
materialize for four days. Hence the
