 the Navy.
Board of Officers to Be Chosen to Select Their Armament
 and Protection.
At tho Same Time tho Revenue Cut tors Will Be Prepared for
 Duty as Gunboats.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, March 27.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: Four of the speediest and most desirable yes sels of the lighthouse service have been selected for conversion into auxiliary men of war By direction of the Presi- dent the Treasury Department formally turned over the Ameria, Maple and Mangrove to the Secretary of the Navy yesterday, and that official at once is sued orders to their commanding off, cers, directing them to proceed imme- diately to Norfolk navy yard. There the vessels will be inspected by board of officers to be appointed by Commo- dore Farquhar, commandant of the yard, for the purpose of determining the armament and protection that they should receive. As these orders were telegraphed, it is expected that the yes sells are now making preparations to start for Norfolk. The Ameria is in New York harbor, the Maple is serving in Maryland waters and the Mangrove Is now in Havana in attend ance upon the divers who are working on the remains of the Maine. It is eX- pected that the Ameria will make quite a formidab ble gunboat when she re- ceives her protection and armament. She has a gross tonnage of 1100
 
 1000 which will drive her at the rate of about 15 knots an hour. It is eX pected that the Ameria will be given battery of four or five inch guns be- sides number of smaller weapons, and she will be attached to the fleet at Key West for duty as a picket boat.
 The Maple has a gross tonnage of 400 tons and will be remembered as the vessel used by ex-President Cleveland during his fishing expeditions in the Virginia swamps. The Mangrove will leave Havana probably as soon as pos sibel for Norfolk her place being taken by the coast survey steamer Bache. which arrived at that port last night from Key West.
 The board which will be appointed to determine the armament and protection to be given the lighthouse service yes sels will perform a similar duty in con- nection with revenue cutters. Some of the cutters are expected to arrive at Norfolk during the present week. The Gresham and Calumet are on the lakes and they will begin their voyage to Norfolk through the lakes, the Welland canal and St. Lawrence as soon as they can be made ready for the trip In order to permit the Gresham to get through Welland canal it will be necessary for twenty feet of her stern to be removed It will also be necessary to remove the same amount from the Onondaga and Algonquin which are being rushed to completion at Cleveland. To pay the expense of this work and to take the revenue cutters to Norfolk from their present stations the President has al- lowed S75, ,000

been detached from the Maine the wreck is as much the property of tha United States as it was when floating fortress with the American flag at it's masthead.
 ''The Maine has simply gone out of commission said Captain A. s. Crown inshield, Chief of the Bureau of Navf- gation, to me tonight She has not been abandoned nor have any orders been given for her future disposition"
 It is generally understood that the Maine will be abandoned as soon as the wreckers have completed their work. unless the Spanish and American gov- ernments should agree to an fnterna- tional commission, in which event she will be retained as the property of the Government until the investigation is concluded. The authorities have given up all hope of being able to raise the vessel, and she will be destroyed by dynamite at the proper time, in order to clear the harbor of Havana Of such an obstruction to navigation.

BATTLE PAINT FOR
 THE BATTLESHIPS
To-Day the Work of Daubing the Vessels of the North Atlantic
 Squadron Will Be Resumed

KEY WEST, Fla, March 27.-The ex- citement among naval officers and resi- dents abated somewhat to-day, but everywhere groups could be seen dis cussing the proba bility of war with Spain The work of painting the bat tleships, unexpectedly stopped yester- day, will be resumed tomorrow. They will be painted a dull lead color in- stead of black
 It is learned that Captain Wick of the New York sailed last night on the Bache for Havana. His mission there is said to confer with LieutenantC Com mander Wainwright, and to decide whether further wrecking work on the Maine will be of any use

Gin cinnati, Castine. Wilmington and six torpedo boats lie close in shore. while the Indiana and New York loom six miles out The Montgomery is expect ed to go north shortly.
 Eight bodies from the Maine were laid to rest in the city cemetery this morning with the same simple cere- monies that have attended the inter- melt of other bodies buried here.

SAYS INTERVENTION
 WOULD BE JUSTIFIED.
General Manderson Believes This Government Should Inter-
 fere in Cuba.

OMAHA, March 27.-General Charles F. Manderson in an interview on the Cuban situation says:
 Tt surely looks more like war than 1t did two weeks ago. To my mind the action of Spain in sending formid- able f1otilla Of torpedo boats to Cuba forms an incident that is more war like than any of the features of the Maine disaster or of the complications growing out of the oppression and starvation of the Cubans.
 "The question of indemnity to this Government for the loss of the Maine might be settled by a Court of Nations or any other form of arbitration On the other hand it seems to me that this Government would certainly be war ranted in taking steps toward inter- vention in the Spanish -C-Dan difficult ties. The terrible outrages committed by the Spaniards among Cubans can no longer be endured. The reports are from trustworthy sources and indicate that intervention on the grounds of humanity would be entirely justified"

One Company to Abrogate the Clause Against Holders Going

ST. LOUIS, March 27.-John A. Me- Call, president of the New York Life Insurance Company. in an interview as to the probability that insurance rates would be increased by war, said: We will not only maintain our present rates, even on the policies of holders who are likely to go to the front, but we will make null and void all restric- tions hitherto in force. A large number of our oldest policies contain clauses preventing the holder from going to war That clause has been annulled. We have sent out policies free from re- striction."

MADRID, March 27.-El Liberal, re- ferring to dispatches from Washington. attributing to President Mckinley a de- cision to propose that Spain should free Cuba for an indemnity, says:
 The Government may answer what it pleases; the Spanish people as whole will not deign to discuss this pro- posal. Spain will go to war in fulfill ment of her duty. but not for ephem- eral glories or the desire of conquest. We may emerge vanquished, which is somewhat doubtful. but we will never come out diShonored.
