THE NEW BATTLE SHIP MAINE.
Neither the Sponsor Nor Date OF
Launching Has Been Selected.

Neither the Sponsor Nor Date of
Launching Has Been Selected.
1t is stated at the Navy Department that
no definite information has been received
there regarding the time Of the launching
of the battle ship Maine or the selection of
the sponsor for the ship on that occasion.
The published statement that the vessel
would be launched on Memorial Gay is evi-
IDENTIFY premature and Unauthorized. No Of
fetal information on that point has yet
been received at the Navy Department
Captain Sigshee, chief of the naval intelli-
gence office, has made a statement in re-
gard to the selection Of the Names spon-
sor, in which he says:
1T has been the inVariable custom for the
battle ships built for the United States to
be Chrlstencd by some maiden selected after
the firm building the ship had consulted
with the governor of the state for which it
was to be named. l am sure that this pro-
cedure will be followed in the case of the
new Maine.
Il desire most sincerely to make it plain
that no member of my family has sought
TINS honor either directly or indirectly. We
recognize that, being natives of New York
state we have no claim on the governor of
Maine
Although there is no definite information
on that point, there is an impression that
the governor will designate Miss Caroline
Frye Briggs, granddaughter of the senior
senator from Maine, to christen the battle
ship.

Senators Hawley and CockreH Appeal
in Their Behalf.

The five cadets who were recently dis
missed from the West Point Military Acad-
emy for alleged insubordination called at
the War Department this morning and
sought an audience with Secretary Root.
Their names are Henry L. Bowlby of Ne
braska. John A. Cleveland of Alabama,
Traugott F. Keller of New York, Raymond
A. Linton of Michigan and Birchie .. Ma
haffey of Texas. They came alone, but
were joined soon after by Senator Cockrell
of Missouri and Senator Hawley Of Connec-
ticut. each of whom saw Secretary Root
separately and urged that the boys be given
a hearing. Senator Cockrell is especially
Interested in the case of young Cleveland,
who is a son of an officer who served in
Senator Cockrell's brigade during the war
of the rebellion.
Senator Hawley told the Secretary of
War that his only interest in the cadets
arose from Il desire to have them treated
with kindness. and given an opportunity to
state their side of the case. one of the
cadets. speaking for all of them, had an
interview with Senator Hawley, and after
hearing the statement the senator though
they were entitled to hearing before the
Secretary of War. Further than making a
request for the hearing, Senator Hawley
has no connection with the matter.
Secretary Root said that he would see the
cadets at 2:30 O'Clock this afternoon, but
simply for the purpose of hearing what
they had to say in their own behalf, and
with no idea of reversing the action already
taken by the department.. which resulted
in their discharge from the Military Acad-
emy.
The dismissed cadets claim that they have
been tried and condemned without a hear
ing. and without knowing the testimony
against them, or having an opportunity to
reply to it. The law officers of the depart
ment who have investigated the matter say
that there is way in which dismissed
cadets can be restored to the academy. save
by reappointment through the representa-
tive of the district to which each is ac-
credited. which must have the approval CT
the academic board at WeSt Point.

RUSSIAN PAPER SUPPRESSED,
Publication of NOvGe Vremya Pro-
hfbited for n Week

ST PETERSBURG, May 27-The prohi-
bition Of the publication of the Novoe
Frenya for week because of .ts editorial
article On the labor troubles is creating
an immense sensation as Indicating ex-
traordinary nervousness on The part of the
government.
The Novoe Nremya is second only to the
Moscow Viadomosti in conservatism and
is usually allowed greater latitude than
are the other papers. The editorial in
question is mild as compared With many
governmental publications on the labor
situation In more quiet times. 1t merely
said the operatives were poorly paid for
excessively hard work and were beginning
to be influenced by western literature and
suggested that the government carry on
the work begun for emancipation and en-

TO LIMIT CHINESE INDEMNITY.
foWers Will Agree to Great Britain's
Proposition.

PEk1N, May H.-It seems probable that
Great Britains proposition limiting the
Indemnity to be demanded from China to
45o,Ooo,o00 taels will be agreed to by the
end of the week United States Special
Commissioner Rockhill thinks this may be
considered an American victory. Though
his proposition limiting indemnity to 3I0,-
100000 taels was not accepted, still 1t was
the cause Of the other powers considering
the idea. The only point likely to cause
further delay is a decision by all the pow
ers except America regarding the raising of
the foreign customs 8 per cent.
Mt Rockhill told the ministers at a re-
cent meeting that rather than take this
step America would relinquish all claims
to indemnity and even make a money pres
ent to China, as American commercial in
those of any other power, with possibly one
exception.
