WAR VESSELS NAMED.
Battleships Will Be Christened New
 Jersey and Georgia.

Washington, April 1.-The president to- day named the twelve warships recently provided by congress as follows:
 Battleships: Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia.
 Armored Cruiers: West Virginia, Ne braska, California.
 Cruisers: Denver, Des Moines, Chatta- nooga, Galveston, Tacoma, Cleveland.
 Petitions by the hunded men have been flowing in to the white house and navy de- partment ever since the new ships were provided urging the merits of various names. The president and Secretary Long enjoyed the good-natured rivalry in making the final determination.
 Georgia did not petition the navy depart ment and it is believed the choice of a southern state was due to a desire by the president to compliment those with whom he visited on his recent southern trip.
 The same rivalry was shown among the cities the mayors, city councils, chambers of commerce, etc., joining in the plea The battleships Pennsylvania. New Jersey and Georgia will be the equals of all vessels of their class now in the service and are to cost exclusive of armor and armament not exceeding GOO each.
 The armored cruisers are similarly de- scribed except they are to cost @,OO0OO0 each, The cruisers Chattanooga, Denver and others are to have the highest speed compatible with good cruising qualities, great radius of action and to carry the most powerful ordnance suited to vessels of their class and to cost exclusive of arma- ment not exceeding $147O,SO0 each.

RECEIVER APPOINTED.
Firm of o. A. Smith & Co.,, of Atlanta,
 Goes Into Bankruptcy.

Atlanta, Ga., April 7.-Judge Newman to- day appointed T. B. Meador receiver for the firm of O. A Smith & Co.,, of Atlanta Cred itors of the firm filed petition in the court today to have them adjudged bankrupts and Judge Newman at the same time issued all order requiring the plaintiffs to give bond on the sum of $20,000.
 The liabilities of the firm approximate $200 900, and it is expected that the assets will be very near this amount. The firm is said to have been badly crippled by the failure of Moody & Brewster. The two firms had large dealings with one another. and it is said that at the time of their failure Moody & Brewster owed O. A. Smith & Go. about $40,0G0. In commercial circles the present trouble of Smith & Co. is attributed to the other big failure which Stratled the business world last year.

JUDGE PHILIPS
 GRANTS AN ORDER Removing K,C.P.& G. Receiver ship From County Jurisdiction. TO THE U. s. CIRCUIT COURT Order Was Made on Application of State Trust Company of New
 York, Under Local
 Prejudice Act.
TO THE U. s. CIRCUIT COURT

Kansas City, Mo-, April Limited States Judge John Philips this afternoon granted an order removing the Kansas City, Pitts burg and Gulf railroad receivership case from the circuit court
 This order was made on the application of the State Trust company, of New York, presented earlier in the day by Frank Hagerman, its attorney Then J. McD. Trimble, representing the receivers himself, E. T. Martin and Robert Glahn and the faction which secured their appointment, filed a motion asking that the case be re- manded to the Jackson county court
 The time for argument of this motion was not set but it will probably be later than May 1, as Judge Philips will take a vacation at once owing to Ill health. In the meantime, the present receivers are acting under Judge Philips orders and at his pleasure.
 The application for the removal of the case to the federal court was made under the local prejudice act, the charge being that there would be prejudice in Kan sas City or Missouri courts against the State Trust company of New York because that company is a foreign corporation.
 The petition presented by Mr. Hagerman set forth also that all the receivers ap- pointed by the lower court would be domi- mated by A. E. Stillwell, president of the railroad company and County Judge Gib- railr0ad company and County Judge Gib- son had arranged in advance for the ap- pointment of receivers; that the whole suit was fictitious and filed to prevent the case from going into the federal court so that the railroad officials could make the case one of local interest and opposed to for eign company
 Yesterday the State Trust company brought suit in the federal court to fore close the $23, ,00O, 900 mortgage it held against the railroad: asked that receiver be ap- pointed to protect the bondholders and that an injunction be granted to prevent the present receivers from taking any action in the meantime. As Judge Philips was i'll, no action was taken by the court.

During the past three days there has been no fighting in towns. The defenses have been strengthened by the mounting Of an additional gun and a couple of mines have been laid in case of a rush into town. The Porpoise has daily made cruise along the coast, bombarding the native villages. Some of them have been destroyed. Cap tain Sturdee does as little killing in these expeditions as possible. The destruction of houses and boats is his object. The houses or o, the white residents are being footed in the vicinity of Apia

 Ordered Out of the Way
 For several days the German warship Fake persistently kept in the way, so as to incommode the fire of the British ships, and finally Admiral Kautz compelled her to move inside the harbor entrance out of the way
 On March g King Tanu Madil Malietoa was crowned king of Samoa at Mulinu. Ad- miral Kautz and Captain White, of the Philadelphia; Captain Sturdee and Captain Forlesse, of the Porpose and Royalist; the United States and British consuls, and the chief justice were present at the ceremony, which was attended by all the representa- tive Americans and Britishers. One hun dred sailors from the American and British ships composed the guard of honor. The procession marched all through Apia head ed by the band of the Philadelphia. The flagship and Porpoise fired the royal salute of twenty-one guns, but the Faulke lay in the harbor as if she and her captain had not the slightest interest in Samoa. The German officials were conspicuous by their absence.
 Everybody was anxiously waiting definite news from the three powers. It is thought that if Germany acknowledges Tanu as the king that a rebellion will be broken. If not, Admiral Kautz will take stronger measures than hitherto.
 Her majesty's steamship Tauranga ar rived today. At present there are on shore 175 men from the Philadelphia and 15O men from the Porpoise and Royalist. The Tauranga has a complement of nearly 400 men and this reinforcement will enable the admiral to take offensive measures. So far he has been compelled to act on land on the defensive.

MUSTER ROLLS OF CUBAN ARMY

 On Canned Beef

Havana, April 1.-The Cuban generals met today at Marianao and officially de- cided to reinstate Gen. Maxine Gomez as commander-in-ch chief. They also decided to appoint an executive board of three gen. erals to assist him in distributing the $3,- 100000, in the details of disarming and in organizing police forces in the rural dis trcts.
 General Raefel Portundo, chief of the ex- ecutive committee of the former military assembly, called on General Brooke today and discussed with him the recent actions of the assembly leading to its dissolution. He did not offer the Cuban muster rolls directly, though it had been intimated by several of the assembly that these are at the disposition of the military government whenever they are demanded.
 Canned Goods Spoiled
 About 2'per cent. of all the meat handled has been spoiled and about 10 per cent. of the canned tomatoes.
 No cantied meat has been issued to tho troops in Cuba, who have invariably been supplied with fresh or refrigerated meat, the canned beef going to the Cuban des- titutes. From them there has been appar- ently no Complaint.
 Senor Rivera, formerly secretary of state in the Porto Rican cabinet, who has been here several weeks, on being shown this cabled report regarding the Restitution in Porto Rico, said he regarded Gen. Stones report much exaggerated. Such conditions as General Stone described did not, so far as senor Rivera knew, exist, and he dis credited any suggestion of a possible revo- lution in the island.
 Evidences multiply that the national Gu ban party and the Liza Patriotica will soon form union and proceed jointly to organ ize the pa ty of Cuban independence.
