WASHINGTON, April 6.-The naval APP
preparation bill has been reported to the
house by Acting Chairman Foss Of the
naval committee. The amount carried
by the bill is S61 ,219, GIG, the largest
ever reported to the house from the
naval committee.
Aside from this, the report which ac-
companies the bill is remarkable for its
arrayal Of facts regarding sea power,
the world over, foreign naval programs,
and the comparative strength of the
bnavies of the great maritime powers,
accompanied by colored charts showing
the upbuilding Of the various great
nayies ,$S l
Under the head of naval program, the
report sets forth as follows, as to new
ships:
For the purpose of further increas-
ing the naval establishment Of the
United States, the committee recon-
mends that the president be authorized
to have built by contract two seagoing
coast line battleships, carrying the
heaviest armor and most powerful
ordnance for vessels of their class upon
a trial displacement of 1880 tons, and
to have the highest practicable speed
and greatest radius of action and to
cost, exclusive of armor and armament,
not exceeding So, 100000 each; three ar
mored cruisers of about $4,000 tons
trial displacement, carrying the heaviest
.armor and most powerful ordnance for
vessels of their class, and to have the
highest practical speed and great radius
| OF action and to cost, exclusive of armor
and armament, not exceeding 81, ,25O,-
0GO each; and three protected cruisers,
| OF about 5000 tons trial displacement,
carrying the most powerful ordnance
for vessels of their class and to have the
| highest speed compatible with good
| Using qualities and great radius of
action, and to cost, exclusive of ar1na-
aasnt, not exceeding $2,S00,000 each. ~.
Continuing the report says:
''The maximum cost of the ships
herein authorized, exclusive of armor
and armament, will be $26, $50, 900.
This is the largest naval program ever
submitted by the committee on naval
affairs of the house and is in accord
with the wishes and recommendation of
the secretary Of the navy and Admiral
Dewey, and will, we believe, meet the
just demands of public sentiment. The
past year in naval construction has been
marked by the most liberal naval pro-
gram on the part of all foreign nations.
At the present time there is pending in
the reichstag of Germany naval bill
which, if passed, will increase the ton
mage of the present German navy 422,-
600 tons, larger tonnage than that of
her present navy"

Es&tement Of His Opinion of Dewey's Cam
.asz: ilidacy False and Ridiculous. $@,"
PRINCETON, N. j., April 6. -. Ex-Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland has declared that
he had not given an interview to any
one on Admiral Dewey's candidacy.
Referring to published expressions Of
his views, he dictated the following:
ssThis statement is outrageous. It is
false from beginning to end. A num-
ber of young men representing different
papers called on me for my opinion in
relation to Admiral Dewey's announce
ment Of his candidacy, and invariably
declined to say an thing whatever on
the subject. If By any possibility ]
should see fit in The future to give any
expression on this subject it viii be
done in q way that will leave no doubt
as to its authenticity. In the meantime
it is safe to calculate in advance that
any less authoritative statement which
may be attributed to me win be an ull-
justifable fabrication.

4 $BRANDFoRT, Orange Free State, Mon
day, April 2. Burghers who are re-
turning from the Sannas Post ambus-
cade (also referred to as Karee and
Kornspruit) furnish interesting details
of the occurrence. It appears that
when the first retreating British wagon
entered the drift, the ambassadors
shouted tsHands up" removed the Of
ficers and let the cart through. This
process was repeated several times, till
the wagons arrived in a bunch, when
the ruse was discovered and disorderly
fight followed. In one cart were two
officers, to whom Commandant DeWet
shouted Hands up. One of them
obeyed, whereupon the other shot his
comrade dead, refused to surrender and
was Immediately shot. Il. II u
The burghers lost 8 men killed and 10
wounded, including field cornet.
Among the wounded was the Dutch
military attache Nix, who received a
bullet. in the chest. Altogether the
Beers captured S89 prisoners through
out the day. 553 t$.5}
The significance Of the battle must
not be underrated. It was fought by a
force Of Free staters on the flat plains
and without shelter. The Free Staters
are now desirous Of marching on Bloem-
fontein and the Iransvaal officers are
anxious to emulate the late success Of
their allies. sS 3 5s.
