New W arshipa

The plans for the three big battle
ships authorized by the naval appro-
priation bill just passed are being
worked out. The battlcshlps Will be
thousand tons larger than the Maine
and Missouri class. OF total dlsplace-
ment of 1880 tons. making them by
far the largest ships In the American
navy and about equal in dimensions
TO the best type OF battleships now be-
Ing constructed abroad under the new
practice. Though larger than the
Maine, the ships will be laid on al
most the same lines. being only lit
tie greater In every dimension. They
Will carry each four l2-inch guns in
turrets. This caliber Is an inch less
than the guns carried by the Oregon.
but by improved design they will be
almost equal in penetratve power.
Instead OF S-inch guns the new ships
will have sixteen rapid-fre guns Of g.
Inch caliber and twenty six-pouuders.
This battery represents the ideal pro-
portion between guns. as taught by
the experience of our own fleets dur
ing the Spanish war and OF the Chi
late war. The speed OF the ships will
be is knots. an advance OF two knots
over the Oregon class. but just equal
to that of the new Maine For pro-
lection the battleships will have one
belt OF armor seven and one half fee,
broad and IL inches thick running
clear around the water line. three and
one-half feet above and four feet be-
low. 1t VIII be impossible to begin
work on the ships this summer. as
armor cannot be procured for $500 a
ton. the price fixed by congress.
The six cruisers OF the unarmored
type provided for can. however. be
built. and II Is the purpose OF the navy
department TO place contracts for
these ships at the earliest possible mo-
ment They represen; type OF eruis-
err which would be OF the greatest
value just now for foreign service.
The plans call for vessels of about
2,6Oo tons. and the ships will be i'm
proved Marbieheads. SO 10 speak. be-
ing 600 tons larger than ships of that
class. and with better batteries and
more coal capacity. They will be
sheathed with wood over the steel hull
and fully coppered. enabling them to
keep the seas. even in tropical waters,
for many months without being un-
der the necessity of seeking n dry
dock. The battery will be made up
OF six 5-inch guns for each ship.

The Spanish word machete, which Is

Statistic, of the Cuban War.

Prof. Arthur Cohezo Viuageras OF
the Havana Academy OF Sciences has
compiled the vital statistics of the late
war OF Cuba with Spain. He does not
claim it Is absolutely accurate. but
that 1t is approximately so. He esti-
mates the mean population OF the
islands in the years ls95-1S9s as 1.54e.-
600. OF which 532.0 900 were colored. OF
this number 40 per cent OF whites and
~ per cent OF negroes were illiterate.
The percentage of male to female was
81 to 46. He estimates the number of
the Spanish army sent to Cuba during
this period as $4,000. and the num-
Der of Cubans fitted to take arms as
$4,000. OF this number he finds that
Il. 900 actually rose In arms. while 262.-
900 remained irresolute. The remain
der, almost 10000. went into exile.

during the war was 10000 whites and

which is here reproduced. Major
Ball bears close resemblance to his
illustrious relative, but is by no
means puffed up concerning his kim
ship to the great patriot or the unmis-
taxable likeness he bears to him. In
deed, Major Ball is the only person
who doesen't seem worried about the
fact that Washington and he are
nearly related by blood. He conducts
his little business in his own way, and
is very polite to all his customers.
The Sons of the American Revolution,
who take great pride in their ances-
tors, "took him up and thoroughly
investigated his genealogy. He did
not ask them to do it, and when they
satisfied themselves that he was about
as eligible for membership in their
body as anybody and made him life
member of their organization without
the payment of dues, Major Ball did
not refuse to join them. He is the
only member who pays no dues. The
Major was born in the old homestead
in Loudoun County, Virginia, and
started out in life as humble clerk.
In 1910 he went West and gained
great repute as an Indian fighter and
pioneer in California. He joined the
Confederacy and seeded from the
Union which his historic kinsmen
fought so hard to establish, and when
the war was over he found himself
homeless and destitute His grand
father, Colonel B.lrges Ball, was a
cousin of Mary Ball, Washington's
mother. He married Frances Wash
ington, niece of the General, and
that relationship is as near as any on
the Washington side. Major Ball is
a cousin of George Washington Ball,
who maintained a regiment at his own
expense during the Revolution, and
who was friend of Washington.
