DOESN'T WANT MUCH.
Secretary Long Will Ask Only Linn
tied Increase in Naval Appro-
prlatiOnS.

New York, Oct 25.-A special to the
Herald from Washington, D. c., says:
Secretary Long will make n recon-
mendation for but limited increase of
the new navy in his forthcoming annual
report.
1t is his intention to especially devote
his pen to urging the abolition of the
limit of cost now imposed upon armOr
purchased by the government and to
ask for sufficient appropriations to en-
able the department to procure Krupp
armor for the battleships of the Maine
class and the projected battleships and
armOred cruisers
The three battIeships and three ar
mOred cruisers authorized by the last
congress have not yet been laid down,
the law prohibiting the awarding of
contracts for their hull and machinery
in advance of the contracts for armor.
Yet the secretary believes that an in
crease, however small, should be made
during the coming session.
1t can be stated that he will certain
ly not recommend the authorization of
more than three protected cruisers of
the Olympia class and he may deter
mine to recommend in their place that
congress authorize several small
sheathed cruisers and gunbOats capable
of doing effective work in the Philip
pines.
Considerable progress has been made
by the naval board on construction in
the preparation of the circular for the
battleships and armOred cruisers for
which Secretary Long will ask the
authorization OF AGQDp a1InOr- IN re-
ply to the boards recommendation that
the battIeShip Kearsarge be placed in
commission as soon as possible and her
superimpOsed turrets given an eXhaus-
tive trial, Secretary Long has inform
ed Rear Admiral O'Neill, president of
the board, that such trial will be had
Immediately after the vessel is turned
over to the government and she is
placed in commission.
Final decision will doubtless not be
taken by the board on this point until
the trial is held, but it is apparent that
the opinion of four of the members is
strongly in favor of this design of tur-
ret, the only opponent to its adoption
being Rear Admiral Hichborn, chief
naval constructor.
The aTmored cruisers will not be sup
piled with double turrets. The table
given below is the tentative scheme so
far worked out with battleships:
Main battery-FOur 12-inch guns in
turrets, four S-inch guns in superim-
posed turrets and four S-inch guns in
two turrets, one on each beam; ten
6-inch rapid-firing guns.
Displacement-Deep loaded $4,000
tons; draught, under the same condi-
tions, % feet, inches; water tube boil
ers; twin screws, coal displacement,
1000 tons; speed, not less than 19 knots.
These are the characteristics of the
armored cruisers under discussion and
will in all probability be adopted:
Main battery, four S-inch guns in
pairs in turrets forward and aft; twelve
6-inch rapid-fire guns in casemates;
displacement, deep loaded, 49, 900 tons;

English Publisher viii Start Mills in
America.

New York, o. .25-The Tribune says:
It has just been learned that q number
of Englishmen recently came to this
country for the purpose of establishing
a mill for the manufacture of paper to
be used in the printing of newspapers
and that they are still here. The party
includes S. Charles Phillips, Frank.
Lloyd and several other prominent
men. Mr.. Phillips is the publisher of a
number of English trade journals. He
is the head of S. c. Phillips & Co., of
England. Frank Lloyd is a well known
publisher of London.
It is understood that they are going
to put up a big plant in the neighbor-
hood of Niagara Falls. John c. Nor
gan, who prior to the organizatio of
the International Paper company was
general manager of the Niagara Falls
Paper company, will be the manager Of
this plant. On the organization of the
International Paper company, Mr. Nor
gan was made one of the division sup
erintendents in charge Of five mills. He
remained in this place until early last
summer when he went to England to
open negotiations with the men who
are interested in the plan to build pa
per mill near Niagara Falls.

Filipino Leaders Are a Hard Lot Says
Father McKinnon.

New York, Oct. 25.--A special to the
Times from Washington, D. c., says:
One of the presidents callers recently
was the Rev. Robert McKinnon, known
as the soldier priest" the chaplain of
the First California. He had a long in
terview with Mr.. Mckinley to whom he
gave his views of the situation.
Father McKinnon said of General Luna
who was killed by Aguinaldo's orderly
while trying to break into the fnsurgent
leaders quarters, The was the most bril-
liant man in the insurgent army and he
was a murderer. He murdered his wife
and mOther-in-laW in Paris and fed to
the Philippines. General Pho Del Pillar
continued Father MckinnOn, who is said
to have applied for a bribe, is a horse
thief and convict and an all around out
cast. The only really honest man who
aided in the starting OF the rebellion was

record and is as great villain as the
Father McKinnon declared that no
American general could have done better
than General Otis who, he said, had ac
cOmplished wonders when the obstacles
were considered 1t would, he added, be
a. mistake to relieve Otis of command.
The insurrection would have ended in
April but for the encouragement given to
the rebels by the anti-expansiOniStS. The
worst of the war was over, though there
would be guerilla warfare for some time
to come.
Father McKinnon will return to Manila
with Archbishop ChaDDelIe.

AFTER THAT CUP.
Another Aspirant Is Reported to
Have Ordered a Yacht

New York, Oct. 25.-The Journal and
Advertiser says;
An interesting rumor is in circula-
ton at the New York Yacht club to
the effect that A. D. Clarke, the former
owner of the cutter Satanita, has just
ordered a big single sticker from De
signer Watson and that in all likelihood
he had the Americas cup in view when
he ordered the boat. If this news be
true, it is rather surprising as it was
understood that Mr.. Clarke had retired
from yachting for good.
Mr.. Clarke, who is said to have built
the Satanita solely with a view to be-
coming a member of the Royal Yacht
squadron, felt almost certain of election
to that august body as he had been
proposed by no less distinguished spon-
sOr than the Prince of Wales.
Apparently Lord Dunraven and Lady
Lennox had more influence than the
prince, as Mr.. Clarke was blackballed
by the squadron when his name was
proposed and he soon afterward retired
from yachting.
If Mr.. Clarke is coming for the
Americas cup as reported, his quest is
probably due more to a desire to get
even with Lord Dunraven than any par
ticular desire of capturing the blue
ribbon of the sea.

Situation IN France.
New York, Oct 25.-A dispatch to the
Times from Paris says:
There is much uncertainty as to the
real state of affairs in the TransVaaI
and until the French know which way
the cat will jump, their opinion IS not
very frankly expressed and is therefore
difficult to guess. All their newspapers
are outWardly hostile to Great Britain
but the editors of the chief organs 70
whom your correspondent has talhe1
admit that they are with the EngiIsI
at the bottom, although the TRADITIONS
OF the French press prevent them 5IIIIL -
saying so. The views entertained Dy
NJ. Delcasse, the minister of 1orelSn
affairs, are precisely the same, and II Is
nonsense to declare. as some OF the
Paris papers are doing, that france
and Russia propose to intervene III
Africa and help the Beers
France is watching with great III
terest the attitude of the German en-
perOr with regard to the war. For some
years past every successive ~
cabinet has been hypnOtized by Ihe
movements of this young potentate,9usC
like some hysterical subject under the
manipulation OF professional, mes. mes
merizer. Whatever Emperor W1IlldIn
does or seems inclined to do calls Tor
q great Outcry here.
Paris, which is emptying more and
more both politically and socially, bids
fair to become a mere hall of echOeS
The French are inclined to believe that
Emperor William is no longer sympa-
fhetic with the Beers. Independent Fe-
publicanism was never really to ms
liking and he has felt the fascination
of that imperially minded parsonage,
Cecil Rhodes. The German emperor
does not and can not regard the Beers
as possible allies for any present or
future scheme of German expansion in
Africa
Russia is entirely disinterested in the
TransvaaL The Russian press de-
nOunces Great Britain on broad prin-
ciples of morality and justice; a dog
must occasionally have it's muZzle
taken off to allow it to drink. The Rus
sian newspaper articles must be read
between the lines and sometimes Eng
land stands in them for Russia The
French papers quote these articles, but
they know their significance and value,
for the French statesmen are even bet
ter posted on the subject.
With Russia Indifferent and Germany
friendly, Great Britain has nothing to
fear from France. Moreover, France
has now but one idea and that is the
Paris exhibition. Any statesman who
would jeOpardize the success of that
show would bring about a revolution.
The friendly tone adopted by the
United States toward the British also
influences French opinion greatly,
though not outwardly and viSibly- If
British successes continue it is certain
the French will alter their tone alto
gether and frankly leave the Beers to
their fate.
