IMPORTANT DOCUMENTARY
EVIDENCE TO A SUPPOSED
FRIEND.
Many persons who anticipate being
present at the hearing OF William N.
Boggs, the defaulter, tomorrow, are
doomed to disappointment. Only the
spectators who can be comfortably
seated will be admitted to the court
room. This has been decided at
conference by Marshal Short, custo-
dian of the Federal building, Commits
sioner S. Redmond Smith, as presiding
officer of the hearing, and Clerk Ma
haffy.
Boggs and the other four prisoners
will be brought into court for a formal
arraignment and hearing. 1t is prob
able that Francis Skunk Brown will
represent Boggs. He will enter a plea
of not guilty and waive a hearing. It
is cOnjectured that District Attorney
Vandegrift will examine Boggs and the
others only sufficiently for to give the
commissioner grounds for holding the
prisoners under bail for court.
1t is rumored that other arrests will
follow, involving persons of much
prominence. These arrests, however
depend largely on the evidence brought
out tomorrow. 1t is current thai
Boggs' lost important documentary
/ evidence by giving it into the keepini
of a person he considered his friend

least alarmed by the trouble in hi
arm, reported to be paralysis. He say
it is rheumatism.

IT WAS REVoLUTIoN1sTs
That Were Responsible for the Out
break at Malaga

Madrid, April 1S-The Epoca, conser-
vative, referring to the outbreaks of
popular feeling in the provincial towns,
counsels the government to deal gently
with the rioters, considering the provo
cation received from the American pub
lie and parliament and even from the
president, and urges the Spanish nation
to continue in it's dignifed attitude,
standing shoulder to shoulder in de-
fense of the nations rights.
The Epoca says that only students
took part in the demonstration at Bar
celona but that the revolutionary ele-
ment was at the bottom of the outbreak
in Malaga, seeking to precipitate a
quarrel with America
The official gazette will shortly pub
lish the report of the Spanish commits
sion of inquiry into the Maine disaster,
demonstrating that the explosion was
of internal origin.

The Battleship Alabama Will Be
Launched at Cramps Shipyard.


Philadelphia, April 1S.-It was learn
ed here today that May IS has been fix
ed as the date for the launching of the
United States battleship Alabama, in
course of construction at Cramps ship
yard.
Miss Morgan, daughter of United
States Senator Morgan, will, it is stat
ed, christen the ship, named in honor
= of her native state
The Alabama will be the first in the
water of the three big battleships con-
tracted for in October, 1896. The other
two, the Wisconsin and Illinois, are be-
ing built respectively at San Francisco
and Newport News All three are iden-
tical. The Alabama's keel was laid in
November, 1896, and work on her has
been considerably delayed because of
the complication that arose over the
question of the price the government
should pay for armor plate. This mat
ter is likely to he settled speedily now,
as the bill providing for the payment
of $4O0 ton for armor has passed the
house and is now pending in the SEN
ate.
In ALL $500 tons of armor will be re-
quired for the three battleshipS includ-
ing balliStic plates, bolts and other nee
essary harveyized steel appurtenances.
L he Alabama is e1g hit feet longer than
the large battleship Iowa, completed by
the Cramps last year. She is number 8
in the naval register and is technically
known as a first class sea-going battle
ship. Her length on load water line is
1868 feet, extreme breadth 72 feet 5
inches, mean draught % feet inches
and displacement at that draught II, 525
tons.
She will have two vertical inverted
three cylinder triple expansion engines
driving twin screws, estimated to deVel-
op 10000 indicated horse power under a
moderate forced draught. Her guaran-
teed speed is to be 16 knots an hour The
boilers are to carry $50 pounds pressure.
The armament will be four 13-inch
breach loading rifles, mounted in pairs
in two ellpitical turrets on the middle
line, one forward and one aft of the
superstructure; fourteen 6-inch rapid
fire breech loading rifles, mounted on
sponsors, and a secondary battery of
sixteen 6-pounder and four 1-pOunder
rapid fire guns, together with one gat-
ling gun and one field gun.
She will also have four torpedo tubes
The side armor of the Alabama is to
be sixteen and a half inches thick at
the top of the belt, tapering to nine
and a half inches at the bottom. In
the turrets the port hole plates will be
seventeen inches thick and other plates
fifteen inches. Inside of this will rise
a protective deck with a armor four
inches thick on the slopes aft, three
inches forward and two and three
fourth inches on the fiat top.
