NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-Although this
mornings dispatches in the main did not
represent the South African situation as
being any nearer to an amicable settle
ment, a more optimistic view should be
taken Of the question in London. The
stock market was reported at a substantial
advance from yesterdays depression. This
communication gave the cue to the local
market in the early dealings today. where
common and material advances were re-
corded. London houses, furthermore, were
buyers Of stocks here in the early dealings.
The local situation of itself was particu-
larly understood. and there was an entire
absence Of any news of speculative or
financial bearing. Trading in the local
market was active and we'll diversified
Sharp advances were noted in Southern
Railway preferred, Missouri. Kansas. and
Texas. Tennessee Coal and Iron, Brooklyn

granger stocks and other standard issues
were again neglected. The Bituminous Coal
stocks. including Wheeling and Lake Erie
and Hooking Valley, while not particularly
active, held strong

Sentry Duty in the Water.

POTTSTOWN, Pa. Aug. 30.-A letter re-
ceived here from Corporal Arnold Oyerdorf
gives a terrible picture of affairs in the
Philippines. Describing the awful effects
of the rainy season, he says that at the time
of writing the water was only one foot from
coming into their quarters and it was still
raining Many of the men were sick. While
on OUTPOST duty they had to wade in water
I'D to their waists for mile and stand in
IL ON their posts with no shelter. In order
to reach quarters for mess. he describes
how some of the men got into large sugar
tub and were carried down by the torrent,
but landed safely. He says the enemy Was
only zoo yards away and shooting at the
sentries and into the church where the
troops are quartered.

certiflcates Exchanged for Gold.

From August 4, from which date Secre-
tary Gage decided to resume the issue of
gold certificates, up to and including yes
terday s34.556. 500 in gold certificates have
been exchanged for gold, which is more
than million dollars day. This shows
that the issue is popular and that the
bankers prefer the certificates TO the pre-
cious metal. OF course as Treasurer Rob-
erts says. it docs not increase the amount
OF money in circulation. but it facilitates
business, as the certificates are more
readily handled than the gold itself.

IS to be considerably more than that

TOT tho amount allowed by Congress
was $l.lilS00 each. This difference is
accounted for by the many improve
ments made in the AIarblohead's de-

(By Telegraph 10 Virgin!an- Pilot)
rlans for the three big battlcships au-
tborized by the last naval appropriation
bill, just passed, are being worked out
The general features Of the ships have
been defined, subject to the approval OF
the Secretary.
The battleships will be thousand
tens larger than the Maine and Mis-
souri, class, of total displacement of
l. Ana inns, -makin&. them by far the
largest ships in the American navy
best type of battleships now being
constructed abroad under the new
practice. Though larger than the
Maine, the ships will be laid on al
most the same lines. being only n lit
Tie greater in every dimension. They
viii carry four 12-inch guns in turrets.
This calibre is an inch less than the
guns carried by the OREGON, but by i'm
proved design they VIII be almost equal
i'll pcnctrative power. The S-inch guns
OF the oregon type. although they did
very effective work at Santiago ana
Manila, have been abandoned. Ifut in
stead of cight-inch guns, the new ships
VIII have no less than sixteen 6-lnch
oallbre. all rapid firers, and twenty g.
Founders
FASTER THAN THE OREGON.
The speed OF the ships viii be Is
knots an advance of TWO knots over
the oregon class. but just equal to
that of the new Maine. For protection
against the euemy'i shot, the battle
SHIPS will have one belt of armor seven
feet six inches broad, running clear
around the water line, three feet six
inches above and four feet below
Altogether there Is a notable absence
of new features i'll the designs of The
battleships, which fact, taken in con-
nectiOn with the small amount OF pro-
greSS reported in the designs for the
Maine class may be an indication that
our naval designers have very nearly
approached the ideal battleship in their
work. As far as these particular ships
are concerned, the fact that the Navy
Department is limited to $500 per ton
in the purchase of armor makes 1t
impossible to build them in the absence
of further legislation, and the Depart
mcnt viii be obliged TO content itself
with the mere preparation of detailed
plans during the coming summer
THE CRUISERS.
The six cruisers OF the unarmorcd
type provided for can. however be
built. as Chief Constructor lIchborn
has already been working out the de-
signs upon lines approved by the Board
of Bureau Chiefs.
II is the purpose of the Navy Depart
ment to place contracts for these ships
ut the earliest possible moment. They
represent n type of cruiser which
would be of the greatest value just now
for our foreign service. The plans call
Tor vessels of about 1900 tons and the
SHIPS will be improved Marbleheads. so
to speak. being 600 tons larger than
ships of that class. and with better
batteries and more coal capacity. y

that Joe could not offset his rushes, and
from the very beginning forced the
