which have been in progress for some
time, but there has been no official
admission to this effect until now
Eight en-of-war, which are prac-
tically completed in foreign ship
yards, have been offered for sale in the
United States. The president has
given consideration to the advisability
of placing an option on them. The
navy department has been carefully
watching the construction of ships
abroad through the eyes of its
naval attaches of London, Paris,
st. Petersburg, Berlin, Vienna and
Rome. This surveillance has been main
tanned for two months. but more espe-
cially since the Maine disaster.
Through these naval attaches and
from ship builders themselves the Sec
rotary of the navy has learned that he
can now purchase two small-sized
battleships, two armored cruisers and
four torpedo boats, all at a compare
lively low price. The builders have
promised that they can deliver the
ships to agents of this government at
this time, complete in every respect,
administration to do will be to order
the necessary details of officers and
men to proceed to the shipyard, go on
board the vessels and take them to any
points which may be desired.
The builders have urged that the
purchases be made at once, as they say
that declaration of war between the
United States and Spain would result
in the enforcement of neutrality laws
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
unable to pay for them, so that this
government would have no difficulty in
obtaining the vessels by simply put
ting down the necessary amount of
cash. The four torpedo boats have
been offered by the Thornycroft Ship
Building Co., whose boats are recog-
nized by experts to be among the best
in the world
While your correspondent was unable
to learn the names of the ships which
have been offered to this government,
there is reason to believe that among
them are three powerful ships
under construction at the Vulcan
works, Stettin, Germany, for the
Chinese government These three
ships are of 5000 tons displacement,
contracted to make 1875 knots, and will
be able to carry not less than a thousand
tons of coal in their bunkers. There is
also reason to believe that in case of
trouble this government could pur-
chase from Japan the Kasagi and the
Chiosa, which are nearing completion
at Philadelphia and the Union iron
works. The official with whom your
correspondent talked had no doubt
that Japan wonld be willing to aid the
United States by selling the warships
be fore the commencement of war.
