As to some OF tho defects Of . battle

Fashions in battlerhips change
too fast. They cost between "a. O00,-
600 and 100000. Five million
dollars is too much money. and 400
or 500 arc too many good men to
hazard In one ship in storm and bat
tie. They get behind the times too
soon. considering the price. Battle
ships are built on new plans every
year, and are frequently altered while
in process Of construction. Some Of
their repair and construction bills
are very large. England or Chilli
builds an improvement upon our last.
and we forthwith must have some
thing faster. larger and every way
better. The result of that sort Of
competition may easily he that in q
few years We will have an expensive
lot Of old iron on hand. The Maine
was pronounced behind the times,
although only four years old. II is
at least q fair presumption, from
what has been said, that We do not
absolutely require the battleships
for foreign service. Are they
adapted for service on our Atlantic
coast? They draw from 2l3 to "a
feet of water, and. therefore, cannot
enter any port south Of Hampton
Roads. A squadron Of such ships
operating along our south Atlantic
coast must rendezvous at Ha npton
Roads for coal, repairs and refuge.
There Is NO harbor for them south
OF that. Our coast waters are shoal.

ship habit originated, are deep. The

FAVORED TIE TERMs.-Gen. Shafter
held conference with the American
generals at the front in Santiago on
Sunday concerning the offer made by
the Spanish commander, Geper ToraI,
to surrender Santiago if the Spanish
garrison were allowed to march out
with the side arms and have twenty
miles start without molestation. Gen
Toral agreed that if this was accepted
he would not destrt y the ships in the
harbor, the guns and ammunition in
the forts OF tie buildings in the city.
A majority of the generals, General
Wheeler leading, are said to have IA
vored the acceptance Ct these terms, on
the ground that the Spanisrds can
march out to the westward anyhow
and burn the city and destroy all
the vessels, guns and ammunition before
leaving.
On the other hand it is rumored that
General Shafter himself strongly sG-
yised the acceptance of General ToraPs
offer, end is said to have sent a long
dispatch to President Mckinley, max
ing arguments in favor of the accept
ance of the Spanish commanders offer.
General Shafter is said to have urged
the importance of gaining immediate
possession of Santiago Earbor and city,
so as to leave the fleet and army free to
undertake other work.
According to report General Shat
ter said the acceptance of Gen. Torsl's
offer woule save the lives OF our soldiers
and enable US to give relief to the starry

tage to the Spaniards, General Shafter
is also said to have pointed out, will
