TRANSFER OF THE AMAzoNAs
She Will Sail Immediately Under
Sealed Orders.

London, March 1.-THE warship Am
azOnas, built for Brazil, but purchased
by the United States, will be formally
transferred to the United States gov
ernment at GraYeseno
Lieut. Commander CoIweu, the Uni
ted States naval attache here. will re-
ceive the ship from her Brazilian com
mander. A crew from the San Francis
co will then be marched on board, the
Brazilian flag will be hauled down and
the Brazilian sailors will be landed.
The executive officer of the San Fran
cisco will probably take command of
the AmaZOnas and she will sail for the
United States as speedily as possible
under sealed orders.
1t is supposed she is going to the
North American station where the crew
can be reinforced.
The Amazonas had just been provis-
iOned and coaled for her trip to Brazil.

NEW YORK IMPREGNABLE.
General Nelson Miles Makes a De-
tailed Examination.

New York, March 17.-Major General
Nelson A Miles, head of the United
states army, today made a detailed ex-
animation of the fOrtifications on Long
Island Sound, as a result of which he
viii assure President Mckinley that
the metropolis is absolutely safe from
foreign invasion
Gen Miles, in coming to the city to-
day, improved his first opinion to learn
personally the present condition of New
1ork's defenses. He inspected the sew
eraI forts in this vicinity late in 1897
but 1t was his desire to learn their ex-
act condition now, after all the activity
that had been displayed hereabouts
during the last ten days.
Gen. Miles devoted himself today to
Fort Schuyler, Willet's Point and Fort
Slocum and to a study of the fortifca-
tons further in the east in Long Island
Sound.
He already was thoroughly familiar
with the defenses at the Narrows and
Sandy Hook and felt that only careful
preparations along the sound were nee
essary to make the destruction of New
York by foreign warships practically
impossible.
He returned to the city late in the
afternoon fully convinced that resi-
dents in the metropolis need feel no
danger from a hostile fleet.
There was nothing perfunctory about

POWDERLY CONFIRMED.
Senator Hanna Denies That Any Bar
gain Was Made.

Washington. March 1T. V. Pow
derly was confirmed by the senate yes
terday in executive session by the vote
of 43 to 90
Senator Chandler was the only Re
publican who cast his vote against con-
f1rmation. while a large number of Dem
ocrats voted for Mr.. Powderly.
The vote was preceded by a rather
sharp debate, in which the question
with the Republicans in the last cam
paign, was discussed quite freely
Senators Teller and Stewart attack
ed Mr.. POwdeTly's record on the finan-
ciaI question, and Senator Stewart read
a letter from Mr.. PoWderly, written
during the campaign of 1892, in which
he had declared his adherence to the
cause of bimetalliSm and denounced
those of the labor element who had
aligned themselves on the Republican
side as rendering themselves liable to
the charge Of bribery.
Mr.. Stewart cOntended that Mr.. Pow
derly had placed himself in exactly the
category in which he had previously
sought to place others by his course in
the campaign of 1896.
Senator Hanna made q brief speech.
in which he asserted that Mr.. Powder
Iy's support of the Republican ticket in
the late campaign was not the result
of any cOllusion or bargain.
Mr.. Powderly," he said 'came to US
of his own accord and without any so
licitation on our part We did not go
after him, and we did not promise any
thing
Furthermore, Mr.. Hanna said that he
was not originally a supporter of Pow
derly for the position of commissioner
of immigration, having another candi-
date for the office. This fact ought to
be sufficient evidence, Mr.. Hanna
thought, to convince the most skepti-
cal that there had been no bargain that
Powderly should have the office as re-
suit of his services in the campaign.
Mr.. Chandler made another speech in
opposition, reading protests from labor
determinations and declaring that the
Republican party cannot afford to ap-
point to so important an Office man
so distasteful to the labor elements.

REFUSES IN ADVANCE.
Spain Declares She Will Pay Nothing
for the Maine.

Madrid, March 1.-THE following
semi official note was issued here to-
day: THE report of the Spanish COM
mission on the Maine is not yet known;
but the statement of several technical
officers who have made close exani-
nation of the scene of the disaster
show it to be indisputably due to an
internal accident, American assertions
to the contrary are therefore deplored
in official quarters, as tending to mis-
lead public opinion and render the s1tu-
alton still more difficult from the stand
point of maintaining friendly relations
between the two countries.
1T may be regarded as certain that
should the American technical COM
mission present report declaring the
disaster to be due to an external ex-
pIosion, the public here will refuse to
accept such a finding and any demand
for an indemnity based thereon, will be
indignantly repeIled by Spain.

MONTGOMERY ORDERED BACK
Steamer Fern to Replace the Cruiser
at Havana

Key West, Fla, March 17.-Com-
mander COwles of the steamer Fern
has received orders to proceed to Fa-
Vana and relieve the cruiser Montgom-
cry. 1t is reported there that Captain
Sigsbee viii take passage on the Mont
gOmery for Key West. Deep mystery
envelOps the plans of the court of in
quiry, and since its arrival here this
morning conjecture has strayed into
many channels in an effort to account
for the suddenly formed decision to
quit Havana and come here. Up to
this writing it has held no meeting and
no member of the court will give the
do.
Captain Sampson, president of the
court, held several conferences with
Admiral Sicard, and cipher dispatches
between Key West and Washington
were sent and received. Torpedo boats
are flying out to the flagship New York
and back carrying dispatches, but no
one outside the admiral his staff and
the court knows what it is all about.

AN AMBULANCE SHIP.
The Grand Duchess May Be Used for
That Purpose.

Washington, March 17.-Surgeon
General Van Reypen of the navy has
returned from Newport News, where
he went to examine into the practical
bility of converting the Plant line
steamer Grand Duchess into an ambu-
lance or hospital ship for the use of the
navy in the event of hostilities with
Spain. So far as the accommodations
are concerned, the vessel after some
necessary work would make an admir-
able ambulance ship but the lack Of
boilers, which it would take several
months to replace, limits her adapta-
biIity for use at the present time.

London, March Notwithstanding
the war like preparations, the general
feeling among the American and Eng
lish bankers here is that war between
Spain and the United States will be
averted.
All the conservative men on the street
consider an outbreak of hostilities i'm
probable. The stock list today reflects
this feeling. The Rothschild influence
is reported here to be strongly exerted
and especially in Paris and Madrid, in
the interest of a peaceful diplomatic
settlement between the two countries.
