The New Diplomacy.

lfrom TIE Indianapolis JournaI.)
II was what Sir Monson calls the new diplo-
macy, which adopted by Gen. Grant and
Secretary Fish over the contention regarding the
Alabama claims, and later in the controversy
over Venezuela with Great Britain. In both these
cases the same direct methods were pursued
with powerful Great Britain as with weak Spain.
1t was not diplomacy to get as much as possible,
but diplomacy to secure by direct effort what
was believed to be right.

other part of the fighting force of Uncle Sam, his flying squadron, with Commodore Winfield Scott Schley at its head, is ready for what comes. And it won't wait for the event to come.
 It is going out to hunt, and, like the Black Tyrone, it will make it exceed ingly uncomfortable for the hunted. The captains under Schley are men to know and pin faith to. Old naval men say that of all the names in the reg ister no better list could have been picked than theirs. There's Philip, the senior captain, who began his ser vice before the war, and has demon strated his courage and determination on many an occasion. There's Hlg- ginSon of the Massachusetts, next to Philip, a little fellow with a small sandy mustache and blue eyes, whose twinkle matches the firm sparkle In Captain Philips eyes. His hands are small and short, with fingers stubbed and blunt, perfect showing of his disposition. Watch him when he goes into action. His ship will go where the hottest fighting is, and woe to the enemy that gets in her way. In one of the actions of the rebellion he sat on top of a turret and kicked his heels against it's side while the whole rebel squadron shot at him. There's Sands of the Columbia, quick, alert, active, an ideal commander, who foresees all possible contingencies and makes prep arations for them. His ship has been ready for days, and nothing has been allowed to take away from her effi- ciency Stores and supplies have been kept at the full limit all the time, and she'll go where no other ship of the squadron can follow. There's Cook of the flagship, man whose courage has been tried and whose ability has been proved. And there's Jewell Of the Minneapolis, youngest captain of them all, who has been wearing his eagle only this year. He joined the service from the south at about the be- ginning of the civil war, and he knows what it is to fight for the stars as well as the rest of them. He's tall, soldierly looking fellow, with a rugged under jaw that shows how long he will hang on.
 These are men to watch. If there is war these ships have work cut out for them. For whether the navy depart ment designs it exactly or not, Schley will find it and his captains will do it. And how they can shoot! Great Scott, how they can shoot! The practice they have done has been a marvel of accuracy. And the temper Of the men is as fine as that of their officers. They are going out, they believe, to get re- venge for those bluejackets blown up by Spanish treachery in the harbor of Havana on the night of February 15.
 They want to get it, and in good measure. Every man who points gun will point it at an assassin of one one of his fellows, and with hearty good will to hit where it will hurt the most. They shoot straight, these fel- lows, and they shoot fast, and heaven help the men at whom they shoot!

THE NICTHEROY.
Some Interesting Facts Concerning
 the Cruiser Bought of Brazil.

New York, April 19-The dynamite cruiser Nictheroy, which has been pur- chased of Brazil by the United States government, was built for the Southern Pacific railroad in 1893 at Newport News and was launched under the name of Fl Cid. It was necessary, for the particular purpose for which she was built, that of enabling the South ern Pacific to compete with other lines, that she be a fast boat, and accord 1ngly the contract with her builders called for a speed of eighteen knots under forced draught.
 Before she went into commission the Brazilian war broke out and Charles R. Flint & Co. purchased her for the Brazilian government at a cost Of S575,O00. The vessel was trans formed into an auxiliary cruiser. Mag azlnes were put in and her coal bunk CTS rearranged so as to give her en- zines and boilers proper protection. She was armed with one 55-pOunder. about equivalent to a finch gun; two 3S-pounders, six 6-pounders, nine 1-pounders, two revolving cannon, one dynamite gun, throwing a projectile containing 800 pounds of dynamite, and four automatic torpedo tubes.
 After her conversion she was sent to Brazil, and has been in commission ever since. The cost of overhaul1ng her was $96000, so that her total cost to the Brazilian government was S671, = 900. While the cost of the cruiser to the United States government can not be stated definitely, it is under stood to be much smaller amount than the Brazilians paid for her. l The Nictheroy is 3SO feet long, forty eight feet beam, and has a displace- ment Of 4,666 tons. Her engines are triple expansion, with cylinders 32x52xS4 inches diameter, with 54-inch stroke. Whether her armament or armor vii be changed after she is turn ed over to this government is a mat l ter to be settled later.
 MT. Charles R. Flint, the agent here | of the Brazilian government, said to- day that the inclinations of the Chil- ian government were to sell the new cruiser O'Higgins to the United States To this end Chilian officials have taken i the pains of estimating the strength of the navies of Spain and the United States. After a careful study of the fighting strength of the two nations at sea, MT. Flint said that the Ch1lian
 government had concluded that the
 United States had really no need ot
 the O'Higgins. Therefore, as the re- lations between the Argentine Republic
 and Chilli were not altogether as cor.
 dial as they might be- Chilli had con
 cluded to hold the O'Higgins, at least until her estimate of the strength O
 the United States navy had proved tt . be incorrect.
