The battleships Kentucky and Kear-
sarge were launched Thursday last at
Newport News with elaborate ceremony.
The Kentucky was christened by Miss
Christine Bradley, the daughter of the
governor of that State, clear sparkling
water being used in the ceremony.
Mrs. Winslow, wife of the son of the
commander of the old battleship, Kear-
sarge, was sponsor for the Kearsarge,
and according to the traditional custom,
champagne of an ancient vintage was
used when she christened the ship.
Miss Bradley's action in using water
caused much unfavorable comment and
some ill feeling, and at the banquet
following the ceremony, in which it is
said champagne did not flow in such
quantities as to float ship, but that it
flowed some, Governors Bradley and
Tyler interchanged some warm words
relative to the water innovation. The
chief executive of Virginia deplored the
fact that the State of Kentucky, noted
as it is for its partiality toward alcoholic
beverages should Introduce such an
innovation as it had in response to a
sickly sentiment. The Governor of the
Blue Grass State replied with some
warmth that the commonwealth which
he represented did honor to the mother
state (Va.); that they had inherited
many traits from her; they had inner
tied many virtues which they proposed
to cherish and maintain; that they had
also inherited many vices which they
proposed to eradicate, and that this was
step in that direction. However, it
does not seem that the Governors staff
or many of those who attended the
ceremony from that State are of the
same belief, as many TASKS of aged
spirits were broken on the sides of the
ship at the time of its christening, and
it is said if the Kentucky ever presents
such fair mark for bullets as she did
for whiskey TASKS on that occasion the
days of her usefulness are over. In
speaking of the matter one of Gov
Bradley's staff said he would have beer
ashamed of Kentucky if she had mo-
taken whiskey with her water.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., J
May 20, 1898.

Old Glory has been planted
npon Cuban il,and possibly also
upon that Of Porto Rico, and
everybody in Washington has
acquired bulletin board faces and
rubber-necks looking for news of
great victories at both places. The
flag has been carried to Cuba bv
troops under General Shafter, who
arc charged with the duty of cap
turing the forts in the harbor of
Santiago de Cuba and otherwise
aiding Commodore Schley in cap
turing or destroying the Spanish
fleet in that harbor. Much fake
news from Santiago has come to
Washington this week, and some
official news from Commodore
Schley, but the latter was not
made public. Some of the San
tiago forts have been battered
Gown already by Schley. Many
believe that as soon as this fleet
is disposed of and Porto Rico cap
tured that the end of the war will
be in sight; that Spain will then
see that the longer she fights the
worse her finish will be, and will
ask some of the European powers
to secure peace upon the best
terms the U. S. will grant, and
will gladly evacuate Cuba with
out waiting to be driven out.
The opponents of the annexation
of Hawaii won a temporary vic
tory when it WAS agreed that the
Lodge amendent to the war-reve-
nue. bill should withdraw and that
bill passed before any further at
temptS are made to secure an
ne1ation legislation from the Sen
ate. Speaker Reed still blocks
the annexation resolution in the
House. Friends of the President
are very positively saying that if
Congress fails to provide for an
neXation he intends to seize and
hold Hawaii as a military necessi-
ty, but the anti's say they are
making a bluff.
1t is impossible to turn in
Washington without seeing or
hearing something showing how
awfully expensive war is. Pay
master General Stanton has sub
mittcl estimates to Secretary
