Mass In Havana Harbor-Immense
Crowd Witnesses Launching.

Philadelphia, July 29.-The battle
ship Maine, designed to be bigger,
stronger and faster than her mesake,
whose shapeless mass still lies in the
harbor of Havana, was successfully
launched from the yards of the
William Cramp Ship and Engine
Building company Saturday. One of
the largest crowds that has ever seen
warship leave the ways at Cramps
yards was on hand and patriotism ran
wild as the ship left her cradle.
Kensington, wherein the ship locat-
ed, took holiday and attended the
launch. Thousands of persons from
other parts. of the city were on hand
and as the yards were thrown open to
the public every vantage point in the
confines of the place swarmed with
humanity. The weather was beautiful.
State of Maine Represented.
The state of Maine was officially rep
resented by Gov. Hill and members of
his staff. From Washington came Rear
Admirals Bradford, Melville and Walk
er, Lieut.-Commander Bailey, Capt.
Leary, former governor of Guam, and
a number of bureau chiefs of the navy
department.
President Mckinley, Secret ary of the
Navy Long, Admiral Dewey, Capt. Sigs-
bee and other naval dignitaries who
received invitations were unable to at
tend.
Christening of the Ship.
The ceremony of christening the ship
was performed by Miss Mary Preble
Anderson, of Portland Me-, descend
ant of the Preble family that has added
fame to the naval honors of the coun-
try.
All was in readiness as Miss Ander-
son stepped upon the stand erected at
the bow of the hull. As the last timber
that held the ship was sawed in twain
and the vessel began to move. Miss An
derson struck the bow of the Maine a
blow with the bottle of champagne
and formally christened her. AS the
vessel slid off the ways great shout
went up and every steam craft in the
vicinity began the footing of whistles.
The Maine is so per cent. finished.
Her keel was laid in April, 1899, and the
ship will be ready for transfer to the
government in Is months or two years
time.

In cases where the royal monogram

those in the departments of the Lord

1t was hardly expected, however,
that they would be heard from Sat
urday. While it is possible that Adj
miral Schley might object to one of
the members of the court or to the
judge advocate, it is hardly thought
that he will do so. Even should he
make objection it would not neces-
sarily follow that the department
would heed it..

self to Captain of Detectives Titus at

Gray committed the burglary and the
murder. Gray denied any connection
with the case, and said he told the

that in case the revenues of China
are not sufficient for the payment
of interest and principal, the powers
are to examine the revenues and de-
termine what changes are necessary
in order to supply the deficiency.
The imperial maritime customs are
to be included in this arrangement.
The British minister is satisfied with
this arrangement and the whole
question of financial measures is
therefore settled. The 450,0O0,0O0

are to be converted into gold at the
equivalent of the tael value on the
first of last April. In case the inn
post duties are subsequently in
creased, the free list will have to
be abolished except for cereals, but
it is understood that compensation
will in that case be asked for, prob
ably the financial participation of
China in improving the water APP
proaches of Shanghai and Tientsin.
All the other principal points of the
negotiations are now settled, and ii
is expected that the results will be
summarized in the final protocol
within two weeks and that all the
powers will become signatories..
Payment to United States.
In connection with the indemnity
payments question has arisen
whether the United States govern
ment will take it's share of the bonds
to be issued by China in American
gold or in pounds sterling. The dis
position of this government is to
take the money in the form that will
be the least burdensome to the Chi
nese government, and in the interest
of uniformity it is probable that the
payments will be made in pounds
sterling,

equal, but there is a marked defcien-
