GOVERNMENT SECRET SERVICE.



Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn Of the War
department, who has had charge of the Sc
cret service work during the war with
Spain, will make an interesting report to
Secretary Alger of the operations of that
branch during the last three or four months.
The labors of the detectives and agents en-
ployed by the War department, says the
New York Evening Post, form a most ex-
citing chapter in the history Of the conduct
of the war. Many of the details must re-
main a part of the secret records of the
department, but the general results will be
related in Mr.. Meiklejohn's report, and may
be incorporated in the forthcoming annual
report of the secretary of war. A great
deal of the work of the secret service d-
vision was accomplished in connection with
the secret service agents of the Treasury
department, all Of whom are trained and
experienced detectives scattered over the
country and who were instructed to report
to Washington every suspicious incident and
every character deemed worthy Of surveil-
lance. The police and detective forces of
the large cities were called upon for a sim
liar service and a great deal of information
was accumulated from these sources. Many
persons were closely watched and probably
most of them would be greatly surprised to
know that their loyalty had been ques-
toned. Agents were stationed at various
points in Canada, while our consuls abroad
were authorized to use means Of securing
information, not only of the plans and op-
erations of the enemy, but of the work Of
possible spies who were connected with the
Spanish agents in the United States
There were three important Spanish spies
against whom mass OF evidence had been
ccumulated-certainly enough to convict
them. The man captured in Washington
committed suicide; another captured in
Montreal died in custody. The third, who
had enlisted in the army at Tampa and
who had formerly been in the English
army, was released. There was no doubt
that he could have been convicted as a
spy, but in that event there was no other
alternative for the court but to sentence him
| to be shot, a penalty which the department
| did not wish to impose after- the war was
| over. He could have been tried for fraud
| ulent enlistment, but this proposal was toe
| farcical to be entertained tu consideration
OF the enormity OF the mans offense. II is
| doubtful II Mr.. Meiklejohn's report will &C
very much into the operations OF the secret
| service but II will be valuable as showing
the extent and efficiency of this branch.

to thorough efficiency in that line Of art, Is
not handicapped by the constant drudgery
SO universal In the old time vessels of our
navy
The height of free board forward Of the
vessels hull power is twenty feet, and at
the stern, thirteen and one-fourth feet. The
floor of the pilot house is forty-four feet
high, thus placing the eye of the steers
man, for ordinary cruising, about fifty feet
above the water. The sight holes in the
armored coming tower, for use In close
fighting, are thirty-four and one-half feet
above the water.
The bore OF the forward thirteen-inch
guns will have an elevation of twenty six
feet, and the after tnirteen-inch. nine

The six-inch guns vary from fifteen to
twenty-five and one-half feet and the six
Founders from thirty to forty and one-half
feet above water, according to their loca-
tion on the vessel. The smaller guns are
mounted in the military tops, at heights
Of from fifty mine to seventy nine feet. This
and secondary batteries will enable the YES
sci to be fought in any weather, a quality
always sought for, but obtainable only in
vessels OF good size, and Is considered Of
immense advantage.
1t is also provided with bilge keels, placed
before and abaft the midship body only, so
as not to interfere with docking These
keels have a maximum depth of three feet,
and will largely tend to lessen Its motion
in a seaway, and so contribute to it's steadi-
ness as a gun platform, SO essential for

Four powerful electric searchlights are
also provided two on top Of the forward
chart house, and two on each side OF the
after military mast; all having an elevation
OF twenty-five feet above the water and
| commanding a complete allround range.
There will be two sets Of triple expan-
