BUSY SCENES IN NAVY YARD.
New Buildings Are Erected while
Big Warships Undergo
Repairs.

The navy yard at New York has been
a busy place for the past several
months. Vessels were overhauled and
repaired under hurry orders before the
war with Spain began and during the
war men were working there night and
day. Since the close of hostilities war
ships have been in the yard to be
cleaned and put in shape again.
Now, however, there is much work of
another kind to be done. Several new
buildings are to be erected and
force of mechanics has been engaged
and is now hard at work. There are
more men working in the yard now
than there have been for many yeeSS.1l
The cruiser Brooklyn is in the dry
dock and lot of work has to be done
yet to put the vessel in condition. When
in Guantanamo bay the Brooklyn ran
on a coral reef. When she was put in
the dry dock Constructor Bowles made
a careful examination of the hull of
the vessel and found that for distance
of about 80 feet on the starboard side
the plates were very much dented. The
rivets show there was much strain on
the hull when the cruiser struck, but
they have not been damaged and the
frames are in good condition. The
dents in the plates will be hammered
out and the cruiser will be put in as
good condition as ever.

MARIA TERESA LOST.
ron Sinks I'm n storm While
on Her Way to America.

Charleston. S. c.. Nov. THE for
mer Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa, the
flagship of Admiral Cervera's feet,
which was raised by Naval Constructor
Hobson, was lost in the storm which
ragged off the Bahama islands on Tues
day afternoon. The cruiser was aban-
doned by the crew only short time be-
fore she went to the bottom. Every
thing was lost. The crew, however, was
rescued without the loss of q man.
The Teresa had been leaking all of
Tuesday, and it was found that she was
going under despite the work of the
men at the pumps. AS soon as this was
known, all energies were devoted to
saving the crew. The Teresa's men
were put into the sea by means OF
sings and afterward picked up by surf
boats from the wrecking tug Merritt.
A short time after the crew left the
Teresa a splashing noise was heard,
and she was lost to view.

session of the peace conference Friday,

osition by the Americans to take
the entire Philippine group and to
reimburse Spain for her pacific"
expenditures there. This negative
action was expected. The Span

ber of positive declarations which filled
some 81 sheets of typewriter present

held that the United States had no ulti-
mate rights in the Philippine islands
and could have none save by the con-
sent of Spain in these negotiations and

ing to the Spanish contention in the
formal statement, the United States en-
tertained no thought of annexing the
Philippines when the protocol was
signed, or it would have been expressed
in the protocol as clearly as the condi-
tons regarding the cession of territory
in the Antilles and the orient. M. Cam

setting forth that the maintenance of
Spain's authority over the Philippines
should not be affected by the protocol,
to which reservation the United States
made at that time no protest or objec-
ton. This dispatch to M. Cambon, as
the Spaniards claimed, embodied also

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
The Political Campaign Failed to

Throughout the Country.

New York, Nov. 5.-R. @. Dun q Co.'S
weekly review OF trade says: mot even tho
election has disturbed business or indus
tries on the financial side this week. AL
though many are doubtless waiting the
vote before borrowing. the volume OF
business through clearing houses Is S.5 per
cent larger than last year and l54 per
cent. larger than in 1892. While political
doubts may count for much, they can only
might have been much more than has been
realized. Failure returns for October are
curiously puzzling because, while the small
failures compare remarkably well with
those Of previous years, and also the fall

Expert Fears Brooklyn Bridge HAS
Suffered with other
Structures.

A. A. Knudsen read a paper before
the meeting of the American Institute
of Electric Engineers at New York on
vagrant electric currents and the vast
amount of damage that may be in
fiicted by them on all metallic struc-
lures, in whole or in part, OF a sub
terranean character.
Mr.. Knudsen showed as the results
of exhaustive tests made by him that
the escape of the electrical 02Tent
from overhead trolley exercised T<am-
aging influence on the elevated struc-
ture and the system of water pipes in
the upper parts of the city.
He also showed that currents escap-
ing from trolley lines in Brooklyn
found their way into all the lower Sec
ton, of New York, affecting by elec-
trolysis not only the pillars of the ele-
waited roads, but possibly the very an
chorages of the bridge itself. He rec
commended that Legislative action be
taken to check the danger, declaring
that unless regulations were adopted
the life of public property would be
greatly shortened.
Dealing with the results of electro
lytic action on the terminal rails of the
trolley system, it was found that a
large amount of metal had been re-
moved by electrolysis, the bottoms of
the rails having been cut down to knife
edges for several feet back of the ends.
II was also found that in many in
stances the rods or cross bars, which
keep the rails in position, had been

Spain VIII Not Retire.
Madrid, Nov. s. Premier Sagasta
after long consultation with the queen
regent, declared that he hardly ex
pected that the Americans would
abandon their pretepsions in the mat
ter of the Philippines. The govern
ment, he said, had instructed Montero
Rios, the head of the Spanish peace
commission, to defend Spain's just
claims to the utmost, obtaining all pos
sible concessions. The Spanish com
missioners, Sagasta said, would in no
case retire, because such a step would
be equivalent to rupture and re
newal of hostilities, in which case he
feared that the Americans would bonn
bard the Canaries, the African colo.
nies and the Spanish ports.
Calmly Awaits Results.
Washington, Nov. 5.-The admins
tration is awaiting results from the
peace commission with equanimity. in
the realization that the government is
perfectly well prepared for any turn
the negotiations may take.
The navy especially is in n state of
preparedness, should it come to a re-
sumption of hostilities, far in advance
of it's condition at the outbreak of the
war. One by one all the splendid fight
ing machines of the North Atlantic
squadron, which had been brought
north at the earliest moment, were
docked, cleaned and thoroughly refit-
ted at the New York and Norfolk navy
yards. Their ammunition supplies
were replenished and they are now,
with possibly one or two exceptions,
ready for instant service in almost any
quarter of the globe.
AS far as the army is concerned, while
the original force of nearly quarter of
a million men called into service By the
president has been largely diminished
by the mastering out of many regi-
ments and organizations, 1t is the opin-
ion of expert military officers that the
army as a whole is really a more for
midable weapon now than 1t was at any
period during the war.

New Fire Escape.

Yesterday some 300 children of the
Hancock School shot through the new
spiral metallic fire escape at the rate
of so minute. They all arrived at
the bottom safe and sound and were
clamorous for more trips. Architect
Patton, of the Schooi Department,
several school teachers and two big
policemen made the trip with almost
as much enjoyment as the youngsters.
The occasion which afforded the
Hancock children taste of the Joy of
shooting the chutes was the test of a
new cylindrical fire escape which the
Board of Education is thinking of
adopting for the 16 "one-stairway''
schools of the city. 1t is six feet in
diameter, constructed entirely of steel.
The spiral chute winds round a heavy,
three-inch standpipe. The escape is
entered through large double doors at
the various floors. The chute is per-
fectly smooth and so arranged that
the descent is made at uniform
speed. On entering the teacher or
Guild has simply to sit down and slide
to the bottom.
In the test yesterday 300 children
were assembled on the second and
third floors Of the Hancock School
At a given signal the first child Jump
ed into the chute and in less than six
minutes the last had emerged at the
bottom anxious for more. i
The report OF the test favors the
chute, We have yet to hear from the
parents OF the children as to the con-
dition OF their seats of learning
