Build Our own w~.n,p..

The Nautical Gazette states that it
was always matter for surprise that
the brazilian government, for whom
the New Orleans and Albany were built,
should have been so anxious to get rid
OF these seemingly perfect vessels. The
mystery now is explained, and the fact
shat the netacentric height was mega
tive quantity was probably known by
the builders and former owners and
carefully concealed from us. They can
not be cut in two and heightened, as
they are even now too narrow for their
cngth. The moral Of the story is that
we must build our own war vessels.

DESPERATE ASSAULT ON CAPT. BAlIA1

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 24.-Five men
are dead and ten wounded as the result
of a fight between gendarmes and dis
appointed Cuban soldiers at Cuevitas.
three miles from Santiago. where the
payment Of the Cuban troops is pro-
crossing. Five thousand Cubans had
gathered there to receive pay, and after
three days, only $50 had been paid.
Thousands who had been disappointed
at other points. had come to Cuevitas
as the last place of payment in the
province.
The imperfect lists caused great dis
satisfaction and rumor circul t.ed
yesterday that the paymasters would
leave to-day, alarmed the men who had
not been paid. They began to collect
in groups, and to show their annoyance.
Finally their threats became serious.
Capt Baliat with 20 gendarmes was
present to preserve order among the
applicants. and the United States
troops protected Col. Moale, the officer
having charge of the payments. Sud-
denly Capt. Baliat, who was mounted,
was surrounded y a mob, struck by
stones and bottles and shot In the arm.
His men promptly fired a volley I'm the
mob, three persons being instantly
killed and IL wounded, two OF whom
died this morning.
Col. Moale's guard promptly sur
rounded the money office, but took no
part in the fighting.
For a few minutes there was a lively
conflict, oarbines and machetes being
used freely. capt. Baliat was the only
gendarme wounded. All the dead were
colorcd Cuban soldiers.
This morning payment was resumed
under heavy guard. There are ru-
mors that force rs being organized
90 attack the pay office. but these are
probably unfounded.
Gen. Castillo, civil governor OF San
tiago de Cuba, was at Cuevitas at the
time. and soon restored order. There
is no doubt at the inaccurate list will
cause a great deal OF hardship. Many
veterans have fol. wed 'ehe comm ssion-
ers for six weeks only to find that their
names are not listed. Gen. Leonard
Wood does not, however. anticipate Sc
rious trouble.

sions, has become an international af-
fair. Four of the prisoners claim to
be citizens OF Mexico and they appealed

eff you finish your investigation re-
garding the six Mexican prisoners in

solicitous about the matter"
Governor Sayers replied as follows:
my information, derived from w. N.

are citizens Of Texas. If this be true,
i can not recognize the right of your
government To take cognizance of the
matter. having expatriated themselves
from their native country. Under our

citizens OF this state the Mexican gov
