general features Of the ships have been
defined, subject to the approval of the
Secretary. The battleships will be a
thousand tons larger than the Maine
and Missouri class, or a total displace-
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 almost
the same lines, being only a little
greater in every dimension. They vii,
carry each four Pinch guns and tur-
rets. This calibre is an inch less than
the guns carried by the Oregon. but by
improved design they will be almost
equal in penetrative power.

CONFIDENCE IN WASHINGTON
That the New Spanish Cabinet VIII Sc
cure the Ratification of the Treaty.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-Although no
official information on that point has yet
reached Washington, the authorities are
confident that the new Spanish cabinet
will secure the ratification of the peace
treaty. 1t is believed with all confidence
that the new cabinet intends to devote
itself principally to internal reforms; that
it perceves the injury that would be in
f1icted upon Spanish trade by senseless
opposition to the treaty and that it will
not countenance the continuance of the
present unsatisfactory relations between
the United States and Spain. 1t is pointed
out that the Cortes having adjourned it
is again within the power of the Spanish
queen regent, under the terms of the
treaty itself to ratify that document with
out further reference to the Cortes, and
it may be that the new cabinet has de-
cided upon some such plan as this.
