Trials of Efficiency to Be Made by
the baltimore and Ohio.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany has completed arrangements for q
trial OF the new Raub locomotive in haul
and New York.
This engine, which is the invention OF
DR.. d. c. Raub, is unlike the locomotive
now in general use. A similar engine has
been in operation on the Erie Railroad
for several months, and the results OBJ
tanned there have induced the Baltimore
and Ohio officials to give it trial.
The new engine has maintained a speed
of eighty-two miles an hour for long
runs, with a great saving in fuel and in
wear and tear and large increase in
hauling capacity. The new engine will be
used for hauling "a fast passenger train
between Washington and New York and
it is hoped that with it the time between
the two cities can be reduced to a little
over three hours.
One of the prominent officials of the
Erie road, under whosei supervision the
tests were made, says of the new inyen-
ton:
THE Raub engine. of 1000 pounds of
tractive force, moved without difficulty a
train of 240 tons weight, which an ordf-
nary engine of IA 400 pounds of tractive
force failed to stir. The Raub engine
raised $50 pounds of steam in fifty-six
minutes, with 1,500 pounds of bituminous
coal, while the Erie engine required two
and one-half hours of time and three tons
of coal to raise 125 pounds of steam. The
Raub engine made at times eighty-two
miles an hour, drawing 800 tons, and
neither discharged sparks. cinders. ashes.
gas nor smoke. There was very little
oscillation. The gains in service over the
ordinary engine were: Fuel. so per cent:
freight power, 40 per cent; wear and tear,

Secretary of the Navy Long has re-
ceived complete estimates from his sub
ordinates regarding1 the amounts they
deem necessary for the operation of their
respective departments during the com
ing fiscal year.
Their figures foot up tJ $47.065. 1888, the
largest peace estimate which has ever
been submitted. This sum. however. is
s76O00.00O less than was required for the
present fiscal year, it being found that
altogether Congress appropriated for the
navy during this year a little more than
S123, 100000. t
Secretary Long may scale the esti-
mates down several million dollars, but
he will probably add something for the
establishment of coaling stations a points
outside the United States. which will
bring the estimates up TO about that sub
mitted by his subordlnates These are the
estimates finally submitted:

CONSUL BRICE IS HERE.
Left His Effects and Fled for His
Life mt Night.


New York. April 13-Alexader c. Brice.
the American consul at Matanzas. Cuba.
with thirteen refugees. arrived in New
York yesterday on the steamer Jarls
berg In the party were the consurs
stafr and their families, who were forced
to flee for their lives.
Consul Brice said that for three days
before leaving Matanzas his life was con-
stantly threatened, and that the Spanish
mobs made several attempts to drag him
through the streets. During these three
days Mr.. Brice remained at his post, dis
tributing supplies to the starving ;ecln-
centradoS.
on April S he received notice TO with
draw from his duties. The Jarlsberg was
the only steamer in port, and he engaged
passage for himself and his party TO New
York.
The mobs became so violent that night
that at 20 o. clock the Americans were
obliged TO seek shelter on board the
steamer. which sailed Immediately. So
forcibIe was the mob's violence that not
one Of the party had time TO. bring on
board any baggage. The consuIs loss in
this respect was heavy.
On the steamer Ito. which arrived here
yesterday from Matanzas were seven Gu
ban refugees, Carlos Rodriguez one OF
the passengers. was at one time a
wealthy resident of Matanzas, but was
obliged to abandon everything in order
to save his family. The crew of the
Ito report that everything is in confu-
sion at Matanzas. and that mobs rule

The End mt Hand.

Events in Spain have rushed to the
discontinue Of the peace-with- dishonor
contingent. A Madrid dispatch dated
at one o'clock this morning has been
received by The Times. 1t says that the
Spanish cabinet met last night to con-
slider President McKinley's message.
and after its session gave out a state
ment to the effect that it had been de-
termined TO maintain Spanish sover-
eighty in Cuba at all hazards, and not
20 tolerate any sort of American inter-
vention. This. in effect, is an ultima
through the channels of diplomacy to
put an end to all relations with Spain.
1t simplifies the situation as far as
this country is concerned. 1t will rem
der the work Of Tory obstruction in
Congress superfluous, and it will COM
pei immediate action. A Spanish de-
fiance is hurled in our face, and we
have gone too far not to accept it in
stantly, or not to resent it with all the
force OF our land and sea power. There
would seem to be nothing for General
Woodford to do but to receive a part
ing snub from Sagasta and get out. and
the passports of Senior Polo Bernabe
should be in that gentleman's posses
sion before tonight.
The supreme test of the situation is
now to be made. The Administration
and the bond sharks are reduced to
their last card. Ii is active interference
by the concert Of Europe. We shall see
whether they dare TO play it or not
We know that there is no disposition

The Case OF DIR. Briggs.


fFrCm the Cleveland Plain DeaiCf-)
Prof. Charles \. Briggs. whose alleged
"heresy'' caused so much trouble in the
Presbyterian organization, has formally
taken himself out of that body and be-
come a member of the Protestant Epis-
copal church. His resignation was sent in
to the New York Presbytery and this ac-
ton was followed by his confirmation in
Grace Episcopal church. New York. IL is
understood that he will soon take holy or
ders in the Episcopal church
Now arises the question what will the
trustees of the Union Theological semi
nary do about il? Prof. Briggs holds the
chair of Biblical theology in that semi
nary with a salary of 5000 year. when
the Presbyterian general assembly de
manded that Prof. Briggs be dismissed,
because of the unOrthodOXy of his theO-
logical views according to the general as
semblys standard of orthodoxy. or the
seminary itself would be regarded as no
longer in official connection with the as
sembly. the seminary stuck to Prof.
Briggs and let the assembly go. But with
the professor a priest of the Episcopal
church, will not the situation be changed?
DR.. Hastings. one of the faculty of the
seminary, thinks not. His lire of rea
soning is somewhat peculiar He says
one of the ethics of the seminary is the
acceptance of the Westminster confession
of faith, and that DIR. Briggs accepts
fully and as thoroughly as any member
of the faculty.
