ANTI-GoEBEL FORCES.
They Have Engaged Headquarters
at Kentucky Capital.

at Kentucky Capital.
FRANKFORT. KY, Dec. 3.-The anti.
Goebel Democrats, through ex-Congress-
man w. G. Owens, engaged headquarters
today, which will he opened tomorrow.
Senator Lindsay, who came home from
Washington at the beginning of the holi-
days, was conspicuous in the anti-Goebet
counsels. Chairman Long, Of the Repub-
lican state campaign committee, has
called a meeting of the members of
both houses for a joint conference to.
morrow morning. 1t is expected that a
report will be then received from the
anti-Goebel Democrats regarding their at
titude on the organization Of the two
houses, and the general policy OF the
session will be talked over.
Tonight the trains brought large addi-
tions to the crowd of political leaders al
ready here Among them were Gen. P.
Watt Hardin, who opened headquarters
nd launched his senatorial boom on an
anti-,;oebel platform With Hardin came
ex-Secretary of State Hea0ley, and sew
eial senators and representatives who
are pronounced anti-Goebel men. 1t was
announced tonight that the antt-Goebel
members Of the legislature and leaders
on that side will hold a conference tomor-
row at the same time the Republicans
meet. 1t may be decided to wait until
after the Democratic caucus. tomorrow
night, before putting up the anti-Goebel
slate of candidates for places in the Or
ganization of the legislature.
The anti-Goebel leaders increased the
estimate of their strength in the two
houses tonight. They now claim to have
eight Democrats in the senate and thir-
teen in the house. This would give the
coalition a majority on joint ballot, or
would control either house in separate

The correspondent of the Associated

Spanish Admiral Admits That He
Was Outgeneraled.
CHICAGO, Dee. a.-In the text Of Ad-
miral Montojo's defense under court-mar-
tial the bulk Of the blame is charged blythe
admiral not to himself or his fleet, but
to the Spanish government for it's I'M
prepared condition. He also claims that
Admiral Dewey kept out of range Of the
Spanish guns-a proceeding which Monto-
10 refers to as retreat" Montojo
says:
1.-THE only preparation that had been
made for war was made by the Ameri-
cans. who were businesslike and ar
ranged every thing with pencil and paper,
The initial velocity of our cannon was SO
meters: that Of the smallest cannon Of
our enemy was $50 meters. Admiral
Dewey, with pencil In hand. noted the
thickness Of his mantlets and his case
ments, and knew what energy was re-
quired to penetrate them. He also knew
exactly the weight of the most powerful
projectile Of our ships, and by a simple
mathematical calculation he arrived at
the distance at which he could fight
without himself receiving any harm.
Thus he ascertained that he could fight
at a distance Of 1900 or 5000 meters, with
absolute innpuntty. The situation, there
fore, was just this: We were vulnerable
to all the projecctiles Of the enemy. and
this the enemy well knew. while he got
out of reach of our cannon. and remained
out of reach all the while."
Admiral Montojo adds: I'm order to
give an idea of our miserable situation
/ may mention that we had only fourteen
torpedoes for the defense of 1000 meters
of space. and that the cable which we
obtained in Hong Kong was only long
enough for five torpedoes. and therefore
only five torpedoes could be placed"

PRESS SCORES ENGLAND.
The press today unanimously scores
England's action in the Bundesrath seiz-
ure, which is characterized as gross In
science" and as Calculated again TO IL
lustrate the need of a powerful Ger
man navy, to render such overbearance
on the part of England impossible in the
future
The National Zeitung strongly argues
that England had no right to interfere
with the Bundesrath, and expresses the
hope that she has not adopted a flexible
theory regarding contraband.
The Lokal Anzeiger surmises that there
must have been a serious quarrel betwl en-
the commanders of the Bundesrath and
the Magicienne, if the latter officer lever
stepped his prerogative in carrying off
the steamer" ard expresses the hope that
Germany will speedily enforce the re-
lease of the vessel
Even the moderate Vossische Zeitung
calls the proceeding characteristic of
English insolence," and adds that 1.-The
whole attitude CT the English before D,la-
goa bay provokes a general protest"
1t is significant that today the German
fiottenverein distributed in Berlin 200, 900
copies Of a strongly worded pamphlet,
pointing out the need Of a strong German
navy.
From well informed authority 1t is
learned that preliminary negotiations
have been going on for some time be-
tween Great Britain and Germany ia
London, for the purpose of extending the
scope of the treaty regarding the Pertu
guese colonies, but the Asiatic colonies
of Portugal are not comprised in the eX-
tension proposal.
Despite the semi-official disavowals,
several of the leading German papers be-
,ieve in the existence of g. secret treaty
concerning ~Delagca bay, but they dis
credit the statements of the Lokal An
zelger regarding Its nature. The Ham
burgerischer Correspondent says
1.-The treaty mas no definite form, and
it would only come into force in case
Portugal should consent to sell portion
of her colonies. 1T is confined solely to
her African possessions Russia has seen
the treaty and has offered no objections"
The Vossische Zeitung also asserts that
the treaty Goes not mention Pcrtugars
Asiatic possessions.
