The total OF army appropriations, gen.
eral and deficiency, for last year aggre.
gated $llS, 900. Chairman Hull
says the present bill will be ample,
and will not entail deficiency meas
ure later. The contingency appropria-
tion OF 81 900, 900 to inject emergen-
cies constantly arising" was stricken
out by the committee. The main
items as allowed are: Pay OF officers,
So, 600, 600; pay Of enlisted men, $l4,-
900, 900; pay OF retired officers. ST.
500, 900; nurse corps, $4,000. The

ONLY FOUR BIDDERS.
Contracts win Co to Newport News. Bath
Works and Neafle & Levy.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Bids for the
construction OF three protected cruisers
were opened at the navy department.
today.
The attendance OF bidders was neither
as large nor as representative as in the
case OF the last opening. 1t is doubt
ful il the Cramps or tho Union Iron
Works have been unrepresented before
in any bidding since the birth OF the
"new navy" One OF the Moran Bros,
of Seattle, was the solitary representa-
tive of the Pacific coast interests, but
did not bid. There were only four
bids in all.
The first bid opened was that OF the
Newport News Shipbuilding Company.
They offered to build $500 ton
cruiser with a speed OF % knots IN SO
months for 50, ,74l,000. The Bath Iron
Works offered to build cruiser Of the
same proportions for 81, 750, 900. The
William X. Trigg Company, of Rich
mond, offerd to build one cruiser for
So, $50, 200, being the limit OF cost
fixed by congress, or two cruisers for
! So, 480, 900. The last bid was the
lowest, and was submitted by the
Neafe g. Levy Shipbuilding Company,
OF Philadelphia. It offered to build a
cruiser ON the department plan in 36
months for 81, TAO, 900.
These cruisers are designed to be the
most formidable vessels in the world oil
their class. They will resemble close
ly the type of second-class armored
cruisers and might be easily mistaken
for such. The act OF congress author
izing this class Of cruisers states that
the vessels should carry ''the most
powerful ordnance for vessels of their
type, and have the highest speed COM
patible with good cruising qualities
and great radius OF action" Admiral
Hichborn. chief constructor OF tbs
navy, who has been foremost in the
preparation OF plans for the building o.
the "new navy" says that in an en-
gagement the new cruisers would b'
able to cope with and prove more thar
a match for some OF the armored cruis
ers Of foreign navies.
The new vessels are to be named
the st. Louis, the Milwaukee and th'
Charleston, the last to continue th'
name OF the ship wrecked November 2
1899, in the Philippines.

Fewer than 400 persons attended the
meeting called bv Senior Buencamino
at the Risal theater, in the Tondo
ward of Manila, TO inaugurate the
evangelical movement. Considerable
interest was manifested in the pro.
ceedings, and there was some express
sions OF approval of the addresses. No
attempt, however, was made to com
nit the meeting to Professionalism, that
aspect OF the case being left for subse-
quent action at his discretion by Rev.
James B. Rogers, missionary of the
Presbyterian board, who was present.
Senior Buencamino explained the relig.
ious effort as wholly outside the Federal
party. which had been organized solely
to promote political police.

THE NEW YORK FIRE.
Caused by an Explosion Of Chemicals In the
Wcke Factory.

New York. Feb. 4.--The extent OF
the destruction wrought by the cOnha-
grafton which destroyed nearly a
whole block of buildings at Thirty
first street and First avenue last night
could be better appreciated this morn
ing. The huge factory of the William
Wicke Company was almost level with
the ground. Contractor Joseph Cody,
OF the building department, with a
force of 100 men, had labored at the
ruins all night pulling down dangerous
sections OF the walls.
Other property destroyed was the
six-story building, numbers 404, 406
and 408 East Thirty second street; the
fives tory tenement at SAC and 548 First
avenue the five story tenement at 462
East Thirty first street; Jackson's iron
foundry and two story brick building
on Thirty-irst street, occupied by the
Swift Dressed Beef Company. About
20 families we're rendered homeless by
