MELVILLE on BATTLE SHIPS.
COrrects a Recent Statement Regard
ing His Views.


Admiral Melville's attention has been at
tracted to a published interview with him
which made it appear that he and the chief
constructor of the navy held widely diver
gent views concerning the speed of the new
battle ships authorized by Congress last
spring He has authorized the statement
that the report was misleading In the IN
ferences drawn from it.
Each member of the board on construc-
tion." he said. sis striving to secure for
the United States navy ships that will be
superior to any yet built. Naturally. the
preliminary designs tentatively drawn up
by each member of this board will differ
and the problem before the board on con-
struction will be to secure in the designs
that which it, as a body, deems to include
as many as possible of the advantages Oh
every proposal by any of its members
"Of course" said Admiral Melville, eacn
member of the board on construction has his
specially. The board will probably lean to-
ward the views of Admiral Hichborn, the
chief naval constructor, when II comes 10
questions of size and form of hull, but
probably also it will give particular atten-
ton to the views of Admiral O'Neil the
chief of the bureau of ordnance, when II
comes to decide the question or armament
In the matter of speed, each member OF the
board seems to desire as high speed as
possible consistent with the maintenance
of the other offensive and defensive quail
ties of the ship
1t is the conviction of Admiral Melville,
for battle ships limited in draft by Ameri-
can harbor channels. that the use of triple
screws may be regarded as absolutely i'm
perative not only because of the enormous
economies which they give the ship when
working at full speed their far greater
maneuvering power and other mechanical
advantages, but on account of the increased
coal endurance that follows the adoption of
the tripie-screw system of propulsion at all
speeds particularly under ordinary cruising
conditions. This conviction he says, ap-
pears to be fortified today by the latest
practice of every European power.

THE TAKING OF
 THE CUBAN CENSUS Not a Step Toward Complete
 Severance of Relations. 1T HAS BEEN so REGARDED Some Time Will Elapse Before the Lists Are Completed and the Re-
 turns Tabulated-Withdr
 of Troops Still Distant
IT HAS BEEN so REGARDED

Washington, August 29.-It is expected that the presidents proclamation relating to the taking of the census in Cuba will be made public at Havana very soon. AL though it is well known that the taking of the census is intended as a preliminary step to the establishment of a republican form of government in Cuba, 1t is positive ly stated at the war department that there is nothing in the census proclamation to justify the assertion that the United States intends to give immediate independence to Cuba.
 The taking of the census will be followed by municipal elections and the inaugura- tion of autonomy in localities where it Is demonstrated that it is practicable and ex- pedient. The taking of the census will re- quire at least two months constant labor and it is probable that the complete sta- tstics will not be tabulated before the be- ginning of next year.
 The withdrawal of American troops and the termination of the existing military government is not looked for at the earl jest for several months yet.
 The Cubans have been seeking to cam memorate the opening of the first war for independence which began October l. 1868, by the beginning of the taking of the cen- sus on October 10, next, as the census is regarded as one of the evidences of Cuba's progress toward selfrule and independence It was finally decided, however, not to give a political aspect to this purely administra- tive duty, and the date for beginning the taking of the census has been fixed for Oc- tober 16
 The work will begin simultaneously in all the provinces and the enumeration will be accomplished within a few weeks. Only a few days will be required for the cities and towns, but the rural districts and the mountains and inaccessible localities will require considerable time

PRESIDENT M'KINLEY.s CABINET

From Leshe's Weekly.
 Of the eight men who sat down at Pres ident McKinley's council table at the be- ginning of the administration only three remain. These are Secretaries Gage. Long and Wilson, respectively of the treasury, navy and agricultural departments. Secre- taries Sherman and Day followed each other into retirement from that office, and the portfolio went to Colonel Hay. Attor- ney General McKenna passed to the su- preme court, and Governor Grisgs of New Jersey took the vacant place Secretary Bliss of the interior department was suc- ceeded by MT. Hitchcock. Postmaster General Gary gave way to Charles Emory Smith, and now General Alger has stepped out of the war office, and Elihu Root of New York has stepped in. All of these changes have occurred in less than two and a half years. Seldom has this record been equaled. The only other presidents who nave had such sweeping changes in their cabinets as have occurred in the past two years were Jackson and Tyler. The Peggy O'NeiH war" in Jackson's case caused, in about two years. the retirement of five out of the six members which the cabinet had then. On account of the bank fight all of Tyler's cabinet except one, the secretary of state, retired in less than half a year after Ty1er's service began.
 All presidents, of course. when they en- ter office are anxious to retain their cabi- nets unbroken to the end of their service. All have failed, however in this respect except one. President Pierce's was the only cabinet in American history which remained unbroken until the close of tha presidential term. Three of the several members of Pierces council-Wilnam l.. Marcy, secretary of state; Jefferson Davis. secretary of war, and Caleb Cushing, at- torney general-were men of marked in- fiuence and ability John Quincy Adams almost equaled the Pierce record of a quar- ter of a century later, but he had one change in his four years, that of secretary of war.
