TURBINES FOR TORPEDO BOATS.
Tho Navy Department to Try the New EuEine

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-The Navy Department
has ordered u trial TO be held at the New York
Navy Yard Of the steam turbine engine. with
view to the adoption Of the type on some Of the
new torpedo boats. With a steam turbine and
oil fuel the engineers say it will be possible TO
secure far higher speed in torpedo boats than
prevails now. The Turbinia. an English.made
boat, developed the phenomenal speed of thirty
two knots. and it is believed, considering that
she is only half the size of the Gushing. that
when tho invention is perfected it will be prac-
ticable to attain at least two more knots with
ships which now are not fitted with it.

WAS IT BY DESIGN?

Washington, i. c., Feb. 1S.-The fea-
was the large number Of rumors of q
warlike tendency that came to the at
tention of the officials. SO formidable
had grown the list that at the close Of
office hours Secretary Long was induced
to make the following statement as the
easiest manner Of disposinS at one
time of all these stories:
Really no information has been re-
ceived since Captain Sigsbee's first dis
patch adding anything to our knowledge
Of the disaster. All we know is that
the Maine blew up. There IS abundant
room for speculation Of all sorts, but
no conclusion can be arrived at until
an examination has been made by the
divers and more facts obtained. 1t is j
simple fact to say that such a thing
might happen by design, or it might
happen by accident. As Yet there IL
no indication Of design. Therefore my
impression has been all along, and /
rather think the general opinion pro-
p~onderates in the same direction, that it
must have been accidental.
AT the Cabinet meeting to-day the
matter was not discussed, except az
any body Of men talk about an event
Of that kind and most Of that talk rela-
ted 10 the terrible loss Of life and to
expressions Of sympathy for the suffer
erS.
1T certainly was 4 very kind thought
in the President to send flowers to the
families Of Captain Sigsbec, of executive
officer Wainwright, and for the men
whose residences are in Washington.
You may say absolutely that there
has been no secret Cabinet meeting, that
nothin. has taken place in the Cabinet
hat the public have not been Informed
about. that the whole policy of this
department has been to give the public
ali the dispatches. that the department
has no more knowledge on the subject
