GROWTH OF AMERICAN NAVY
FORTNIGHT WARsHIPs ARE
NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Vessels, When Equipped For Sea Will
Have Cost Over $4,000, ooo-
Eight Will Be of Best Character,

New York, April PA special t. the
Tribune from Washington says:
THE completion within a month of
two battleships, the Kearsarge and
Kentucky, serves to call attention to
the remarkable rate at which the Am
erican navy is growing at the present
time. Except among naval officers who
watch this progress, few persons real
lie that forty-eight warships are now
under construction for the United
States, involving expenditures under
existing contracts aggregating s33, 1885,
500 for hulls and machinery alone.
hulls and machinery alone.
The vessels, when equipped ready
for sea, will have cost over $40. 600, 900
Eight of them are first-class going
battleships, as good as any ahoat,
without taking into account the SUI
periority of the gunners, machinists
and officers to man them. Sixteen are
torpedo boat destroyers, averaging
Twenty-Five knots speed; four are
heavy defense monitors, one is d sister
cruiser to the New Orleans, and eight
cen are torpedo boats
One of the most notable facts about
this vast construction undertaking is
its distribution. exhibiting the great
change that has taken place in the
shipbuilding industry since, at the or
ganization of the new navy, the first
of the four new ships was built by a
single firm. Today fourteen American
firms are building ships for the navy.
OF these five are scattered along the
Atlantic coast at private yards from
Maine to Virginia, and two are on the
Pacific, at Portland and San Fran
cisco.
The sheathed cruiser Amazon is
foreign built. She was bought -on the
stocks from Brazil when the war with
Spain became inevitable, because Bra
I'll would not sell one shin which the
United States wanted without disposing
of the others at the same time The
navy department needed the Amazon
as, if for nothing else, than to prevent
Spain from getting her. The Nictheroy.

Taken From Coghlan.

New York. April PA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
las a result of his allusion to the
conduct of the German fleet at Manila
during the war with Spain, Captain
Joseph B. Coghlan will, in all proba-

secret service division of the treasury,
and United States District Attorney
James NJ. Beck, who is Ingham's i'm
mediate successor, were in Lancaster
yesterday, accompanied by Captain
W. j. Burns, of the secret service.

peared before United States Commits
sioner Edmunds and swore out a war
rant for the arrest of Ingham and
Downey Chief Wilkie and Captain
Burns went to Lancaster this after
noon and arrested Downey, while
Deputy United States Marshal Foster
took Ingham into custody at the lat
ter's law office Mr. Ingham was not
surprised.
The ex-district attorney was i'm
mediatelv taken before Commissioner
Edmunds and formally charged with
conspiring with Harvey Hewitt, his
law partner, ito promise, offer and
give the sum of $4,000 in monthly pay
ments of $500 each to William j. Nc
Manus of Philadelphia, secret serv-
ice officer" who was working up the
case against the five men charged with
500 silver certificates.

phia and lodged in the county Jail. The
secret service officers say that Downey
received 81 900 from Jacobs and Kendig
for furnishing them with information
regarding the movement of the govern
ment detectives.
When interviewed tonight, CHIEF
