PLANS ARE DRAWN T
 FOR NEW NAVY
Protected Cruisers Will Bristle
 With Six-Inch Guns.
18 VESSELS RECOMMEND DED
The Armored Cruisers Will Be of the Powerful British Type and Will Have Fourteen Thousand
 Tons Displacement.

Washington, November 2S-The bureau chiefs under whose recommendation the secretary of the navy has drawn his plans for the new naval construction which will be recommended to congress, has outlined in a very general way the features of the eighteen vessels included in that pro- gramme.
 The big armored cruisers are set down as of 13,500 tons displacement. They will be nearer 14,0CO tons when completed, and thus closely resemble the magnificent Pow erful class of the British navy.
 It is calculated that these vessels can be given 23 knots speed and still have room for 1000 tons of coal, affording a steam radius far beyond the ordinary range of former vessels. The batteries will consist of four 12-inch guns in turrets for the main battery, and the secondaries will consist chiefly of either 6-inoh or 7-inch guns.
 Tine three protected cruisers recommend ed, although of the Olympia type in many respects, will be 1000 tons larger. The additional tonnage is ito be absorbed in coal capacity and in increased battery of rapid fire guns. These vessels will fairly brlstle with 6-inch guns.
 The little 900-ton gunboats are expected to be muoh more serviceabe craft than the Helena type, although the latter is larger by TOO tons. They will draw about twelve feet of water at a minimum.

 Coy. Tanners Reception

Chattanooga Tenn, November 2S.-At 10 eating the 107 monuments and markers of the state of Illinois on the battlefields sur rounding this city were held at Orchard Knob the site of one of the principal me- morial shafts and famous during the civil war as the headquarters of General Grant. this season in the central south.
 It is estimated that more than 1000 resi- dents of Illinois and at least 5000 Chatta- nooga people attended the exercises and re- mained until the close of the programme. Among the distinguished visitors were Senator Cullom, Governor Tanner and staff, Commissioner of Pensions H. Clay Evans, General H. V. Boynton, representing the secretary of war, and a large delegation from the Confederate camp of this city.
 The exercises opened with music by the Fifth regiment band, of Atlanta, Ga. Then followed prayer by Rev. pr. William Pettis, of the Episcopal church, of this city Ma jor Charles A.

TWO YEARS WAR
Mine Operator Says Yaquis Are Better
 Equipped Than Mexicans

San Francisco, November 23.-Julius Ran dall, a well known mining operator from the state of Sonora, Mex. says the war be- tween the Mexican government and the Yaquis will last for two years. Owing to the Mexican censorship he says the true state of affairs has not been revealed.
 The desire of the Mexicans for the Yaaui lands is the principals cause of the war in his opinion. He said:
 There are probably between 15O00 and 30,000 Yaquis fit to fight and well armed and with plenty of ammunition. They have rapid fire guns, Krag-Jorgensens, Mausers, Winchesters and Springfields. They are fighting for the homes and lands of their ancestors.
 "The Yaquis are thrifty and peaceful, but like the Boers fight to the death when they go to war. They are better prepared for war than the Mexicans. They know inti- mately the territory in which they are op- erating. In the meantime the business in- terests of Sonora are prostrated.
 It is my opinion that the war will last for a couple of years and then be ended by the Mexicans claiming concessions and the Yaquis holding on firmly to every right they ever claimed.
 The reports that Americans have been been killed or abused by the Yaquis are false and were doubtless sent out by the Mexicans for their own purposes The Yaquis have always been friendly to the Americans"

ROBERTS IN WASHINGTON
Says He Will Certainly Take His Seat
 in Congress ct

Washington, November 2S.-Brigham Roberts, epresentative-elect from Utah. reached Washington tonight He expects to take his seat in the house, and says he does not believe that body will be influenced by the protests against his doing so for the reason that the question of his eligibility is matter clearly outside the sphere of the churches. and because the whole agitation against him is based upon misrepresenta- tion of facts and absolute falsehood He also claims that the house is without au- thority to declare his seat vacant.
 MT. Roberts denounces as false the charge that he now advocates polygamy-that ia, the present contracting of polygamous mar riages, notwithstanding the constitutional prohibition by Utah of such marriage.

DIAZ IGNORED
 BY FOREIGNERS
Urge the President to Accept
 Another Nomination.
ENTHUSIASTIC GATHERING
Most Notable Political Demonstration Ever Held In the City of Mexico The Chief Executive is
 Deeply Touched

City of Mexico, November 23.-One of the most notable political demonstrations in the history of Mexico occurred here this after noon, when the foreign residents of this and adjoining cities, marched in process sion up the thoroughfare of San Francisco street to the national palace to urge Presi- dent Diaz to accept the nomination for re- election by the liberal party whose conven- tion will assemble early in the coming year.
 No other country can show a more con- tented and prosperous body of outlanders and the demonstration was notable for it's spontaneous enthusiasm and great numbers and several thousand Frenchmen, Germans, Americans, Englishmen, Belgians Aus trians and Italians taking part.
 The American colony contingent was eom- posed of fine looking body of men rep resenting railway, mercantile, mining, banking, insurance and other interests. Most of the participants were men of high standing in this community. The line of march was up the historic San Francisco street, Profesa and Plateros streets to the superb great plaza where the cathedral bells were noisily ringing. Houses and business
 
 and federal emblems and the American and English flags were conspicuous. The cham Der of commerce in which many foreigners are members, the associations of bankers and representatives of the different states of the union took part in the demonstration which was viewed by an immense crowd of Mexican people who accorded the foreign CTS most cordial and respectful treatment.
 Balconies Filled ]" .tl Ladies
 The balconies were filled with ladies, and everywhere most cordial sentiments were manifested. The procession, which occupied the whole length of the great Central ave- nue.. after crossing the plaza, entered the national palace and gathered in the central court yard of the historic edifice, where stand had been erected. The upper corri- dors overlooking the scene were crowded with ladies and spectators.
 Rafael Donde, a distinguished lawyer, read an address showing the meaning of the demonstration to General Diaz, who re- piled in brief but eloquent speech, in which he deprecated the idea that man of his age should be selected to carry on the executive department of the govern- ment another four years. He referred to the high character of the participants in this significant demonstration, and intimat- ed that he should listen to the manifesto tions of the peoples will shown later on.
 He was frequently interrupted by cheers and 'vivas" and was unable to proceed un- til the enthusiastic applause ended, and at the conclusion hearty Anglo-Saxon and German cheers mingled with the Spanish and French "vivas."
 The president was much touched by this demonstration of good will and kindly sentiment displayed by the foreign resi- dents who had availed themselves of the invitation from the liberal party national committee to show their appreciation of the administration of General Diaz.

"YE oLDE FoLKEs CONCRETE"
An: Enjoyable Entertainment Monday
 Ev, ming at Wocdlawn

A highly enjoyable and very unique en- tertanment was given at the public school building in Woodlawn last Monday even ing. The entertainment was an old folks concert, and was given for the benefit of the Methodist church. It was a success in every particular, handsome sum being realized, and a genuine good time being af- forded every one who attended. The pro- gramme, which consisted of songs, dfa- logues, recitations, etc., was an elaborate one and was delightfully."- rendered. The participants included number of the eld- est people of the community, and in the rendition of their parts it seemed as if the very bloom of their youth had returned to them. Men and women, many of whom had hong passed the meridian of life, ap- peared in the makeup of lads and lasses. sang songs and Tecited with a grace and ease calculated to excite the envy of the young men and women taking part, and in every respect appeared in very happy moods and were inspirlngly enthusiastic. So enjoyable and successful was the enter tainment Monday evening that it is quite probable that another will be given at an early date in which event a still more pleas sing programme will be arranged. The Methodist ladies of WOodlawn are a work ing lot, and they are behind the Old Folks concert which is sufficient guarantee Of it's success.
