Cost Over One Hundred ThousaAd d
Dollars to DisprOve = New Idea
in Navigation.

Bazin's roller ship, which cost over
s1OO, 900 to test an entirely new idea in
navigation, has recently been sold at
Hull, England, and will be dismantled
and broken up, according to the Sketch.
13azin's central idea of facilitating the
ships progress by rolling over the wa
ter instead OF forcing passage through
it WAS just one of those problems which
can be solved only by a fullsized trial,
and the maritime world is indebted to
him for definitely setting at rest for
all time the impossibility of attaining
any notable improvement in speed or
stability by the adoption of the roller
principle. The six hollow rollers are
about 35 feet in diameter and IL feet
thick; the shape closely resembles two
saucers having the edges joined to-
gether. About one-quarter of each
roller is submerged; no part of the
hull of the vessel touches the water.
The deck, about 13O feet long and A
feet wide, is elevated considerably
above the water line and carries the
superstructure devoted to passenger
accommodation and machinery spaces.
The method of propulsion is the usual
screw, rotating in an inclined position
between the rollers and driven by
50O-horse power engine; the rollers
also possess independent motive power
in the form of smaller engine con-
nected to each pair. Unfortunately, on
trial the ship hardly realized half the
speed anticipated.

soLF TO SUCCEED RAFTEL.
An Understanding Reached With
Regard to Samoa.

Washington, March 19.-After numerous
conferences and the exchange Of notes be-
tween Secretary Hay, the British ambas-
sador and the German ambassador, a sat
isfactory understanding has been reached
between the three powers interested In
Samoa as to the conditions there.
This seeks to open new account in the
affairs of Samoa, and 70 oblterate the
troubles among officials which have re-
Gently occurred there. To this end
Or. Wilhelm Solf, who has been nomi-
mated by Germany as president of the
municipal council at Apia, TO succeed DR..
Raffel, will be recognized by the British
and United States authorities.
Already this recognition Is assured, but
it remains for the consuls at Apia 10 carry
into formal effect in accordance with the
letter of the treaty of Berlin. In order
that this may pave the way to an agree
able and harmonious adjustment, DR..
Sof will go to London and make himself
acquainted with the authorities there and
afterward come to Washington and be-
come acquainted with our officials, so that
there may be mutual understandings.
DR.. Solf will reach Washington the lat
ter part of this month, and will be pre-
sented by DIR. Won HOUeben, the German
ambassador. He win then proceed TO Sa-
moa, reaching there in May. His assump-
ton of the municipal presidency, with the
approval of the three Powers, is expected
to smooth out matters among the off,
cals and go a long way toward adjust
ing the entire matter.
In reaching this conclusion. the officials
of the three Powers have decided not to
attempt a settlement of the Samoan king
ship for the present. That is left open
for adjustment when each of the three
powers have had opportunity to present
fun information. In the meantime, the
status quo is to be maintained.

was exercising a de facto longship while

moa last November, but he persisted ir
staying after his recall, and his presence
appears to have had much to do in pre-.
ciptating the trouble

is described as an accomplished diplomat
with service in Calcutta, and more re

GENERALS MUSTERED OUT.
Mai. Gen. Keifer and a Number of
Brigadiers on the List.

Washington, March bly, direction of
the President, an order was issued to-
day mastering out a large number of
general and staff officers of the volunteer
army. The general officers mustered out
to-day are as follows:
Maj. Gen. Joseph w. Kelfer, Brig. Gems.
Arnold. Alexander Pennington, Snyder,
Randall, Sheridan, Douglas, Boynton, Nc
Ribbon, Carpenter and Humphreys.
1t should be explained that the reduc-
ton in the list of general officers made
by to-day's order is not sufficient in it
self to meet the demands of the existing
law. There must be further cut, in fact
the list of major generals and brigadier
generals remaining must be reduced by
ten altogether, in order to bring the list
down to the nineteen permitted by the
strength of the army.
In effecting this reduction, It is the in
tention to reduce some of the major gen.
erals to the rank of brigadier generals in
stead of mastering them out of the SER
vice. Also in the case of some of the
brigadier genrals yet to be dropped, it will

NEwGAss Will SAY NOTHING.
Report of the Atlantic and Danvine
Deal Is Credited


Norfolk, Va, afurch 18.-Mr B. New
gass, president of the Atlantic and Dam
vile Railroad with general Offices here.
was seen late this afternoon with refer
ence to the Associated Press telegram Sat
urday night, that It was proposed to con-
meet his line with the Plant System, by
building the North and Soutn Carolina
Railroad, recently chartered by the North
Carolina legislature and thus form a rival
trunk line to the Southern, Seaboard Air
Line and Atlantic Coast Line
Mr.. Newgass would neither deny nor
confirm the report, coutenting himself
with saying that it was premature. He
further said that it required time to con-
summate big deals as there were many
details to be discussed and interests 10
harmonic. Continuing, he said:
Il cannot answer your question. l have
nothing to say on that subject"
Mr.. Newgass went North tonight. 1t
was given out here Saturday afternoon
that he would leave Wednesday for New
Orleans, where he has extensive property
interests.
1t is known that for several years Mr..
Newgass has been DESTROYS of forming
connections with lines that would give
him access to the Flat Top coal fields
and the South, and the rumor of the deal
with the Plant System Is credited here.
His visit North Is believed to be connected
with the deal, and as ne said that on his
return he would probably have something
to give out, important developments are
expected SOON

Senior Portuondo said that Gomez al

the revolution, and was now ready to use
his influence to disarm the Cubans to the
Americans, if only 100000 were paid.
Cuba, the speaker asserted, was full of
bandits" and it was the sacred duty of
the assembly to prevent this great wrong.
Violently attacking the Cuban civil gov
ernors, he declared that the assembly
would lead Cuba to liberty, no matter
what means 'were employed. This declara-
ton was received with loud cries of Long

The general effect on the public of to-
days session was bad. People say the as

proceedings, however, were not marked by
any disturbances, and the meeting was

From all over the island come tele-
graphic censures of the assembly, and ex-
pressions of loyalty to Gomez and faith
in his motives. Up to a late hour this
evening the people were congregated in
front of Quinta de los Mo.inas, acclaim

Edmund Souchon of the state board Of
health, and DR.. Quitman Kohnke of the

was not as infectious as typhoid and not

notify the county parishes of the existence
of alleged fever here.
The warrants were served to-day and
