New York, March s,-A dispatch to the

It is rumored that the Spanish government
has purchased six warships in construction,
including one armored cruiser two coast de-
fcu7c vessels and three protected cruisers.
The Spanish embassy denies the story. but
the rumor will not down.
Another report current In military circles is
that the Spanish government has secured the
cot troll OF a large number of heavy guns and
considerable torpedo equipment and other
Wgr material in England and France. This
runior can not be confirmed hut IL is believed
by somewhat informed experts to be true.
Information which comes from sources en-
titled TO confidence leads to the belief that
the Spanish government nov has in London
the money required for completing various
puichnses Of ships and guns. How or whence
Il has been obtained may bc a mystery, but

EXPERIMENTAL IlEGIsLATION,

Many Kent county Democrats are
averse to the passage of the bill in
creasing from five to ten the number
OF Levy Court commissioners. In spite
OF this. the State Senate has passed the
bill. In an editorial commenting upon
that action, the Dover Delawarean, one
Of the leading Democratic newspapers
in rural Delaware, says:
We have discussed this matter before
and our opinion has not changed. We
believe that a small body would be bet
ter than a large body. New Castle
county has three times the population
OF Kent. A few years ago the Levy
Court of New Castle county was re-
duced from eleven to FIVE members. Tn,
smaller body has been very satisfac
tory. Five commissioners are quit,
enough for Kent county. We believ,
they would do the work just as we'll a
ten comm missiOners, and it is as plaii
as the nose on a mans face that tn
expense to the taxpayers would b
much less.
Political expediency has had much I,
do with the legislative Levy Court jug
Cling in all three counties. Until tn
next election shows conclusively HOY
the several legislative and Levy Cour
districts are going to count in late
elections. all legislation OF poitica
character will be more or less expert
mental.
