NEW YORK. March "a Herald special
from Washington says:
The navy department has been carefully
watching the construction abroad through
the eyes Of its naval attaches at London.
Paris, 81. Petersburg. Vienna and Rome.
This surveillance has been maintained for
two months, bur more especially since the
Maine disaster. Through the attaches
and from the shiphaildarx themselves the
secretary OF the navy has learned that he
can purchase two sEaaIi-sized battleshipS,
two arnorcd cruisers and four torpedo
boats. all at comparatively low prices. The
builders have promised that they can de-
liver the vessels to agents OF this govern
ment a. this time complete In every re-
spect. and all that will be- necessary for
the administration to do viii be to order
the necessary detalIs or esneers ana men
20 proceed to the silp yard. go on board
tho vessels and take ihem away to any
point which may be desired. The builders
have urged that tho purchases be made
Ut once. as they say that a declarasio OF
war between the United States and Spain
would result In the enforcement OF the
neutrality measure and prevent the sale
Of the ships.
The battleships and armored cruisers
have been built by English and German
firms for governments which are now TN
ahie to pay for them. and this govern
ment would be able TO obtain the vessels
by simply putting down the amount OF
cad.
The four torpedo boats have been Of
fered by the Thornycroft shipbuilding
Company. whose boats are recognized by
experts TO be among the best in the world.
