STEAM UP IN NEW MAINE.
Namesake of Destroyed Battle Ship
Ready for Trial Spin.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Philadelphia yesterday says: Active
preparations are being made at Cramps
shipyard for the builders trial trip of the
great battle ship Maine.
The namesake of the Inflated vessel that
was blown up in Havana harbor will leave
the yard for her preliminary spin about
July Is. The usual course of the Delaware
capes will be followed by the battle ship.
For weeks there has been great activity
on board the Maine From morning until
night the din of hundreds of hammers has
filled the great ship from her top deck down
to the engine foundation. The gloomy
depths of the water bottom have been made
as bright almost as day in the glare Of the
riyeters' furnaces.
For several weeks steam has been up In
the boilers of the Maine, and IL necessary
she could go to sea now. Several hundred
tons of picked coal are In the bunkers, while
In few hours provisions could be put on
board for the army OF skilled mechanics
that always go on the Cramps trial trips.
Hundreds of men are hard at work upon
the battle ship Pennsylvania, the keel of
which was laid some time ago All day the
great travelling electric cranes hoist beams
and plates to their places on the shin that

Washington's Future Mansfield.

To the Editor of The Evening STAR
Most every great capital has its Mars
field a public square or park used ex-
cusively for drills, reviews and parades of
it's military garrison or the National Guard.
While We are very slow In adopting SIM
liar institution, there are nevertheless many
signs that We are led in the same direction.
A city without an official playground for
it's big and little gods of war does not
properly fill its mission a capital of
great nation. 1t is very fortunate for
Washington that it has right in the heart
of the city a piece of land of ample dimen-
sions and as If purposely made for place
d armeS'' or ''paradeplatz." Immediately
south of the White House is large circular
meadow containing considerable over a
quarter section of fiat, smooth ground.
There are no improvements on it, such as
statues, fountains. flower beds shrubbery
or even trees, save the magnificent elms
that encirele it on it's border near the broad
speedway. More guesses have been made
for the last fifteen years as to the improve
mentS or ornaments of public character
that would be in store for this mysterious
and apparently sacred precinct than for
any other park of the city. At first it was
thought that some grand mausoleum would
be erected in its midst in memory of either
Lincoln, Grant or Garfield, or of the three
combined. an architectural monument that
would eclipse the obelisk that honors our
immortal Washington. Then it was sur
missed that our national progress in the arts
of peace and war required that we should
have here forum, large and sumptuous
enough for national festivals, the recep-
tons of the nations heroes or the enter
tainment of distinguished visitors The
form and size of this reservation warranted
even the prediction that a great Grecian
sta(ion would be here erected for the
proper presentation of our national games.
In view of the fact, however. that this ma
jestic circle was always used for eneamp-
ments and drills of military bodies, and
will undoubtedly be again used in Octo-
Der by the Grand Army of the Republic
while private individuals and even children
are strictly forbidden to trespass. leads nat
urauy to the conclusion that the authori-
ties have exclusively reserved this space for
persons of the military cloth.
Our new cosmopolitan complexion and
immense national wealth will soon demand
greater protection of all public institutions
and personages. and it will require a
stronger arm than that of our simple urban
police From experience by all world powers
over a period of hundreds of yearsit is shown
that absolute security Is only obtained by
the scrupulously exact and continued
watchfulness of the regular army. Should
this once be a feature of Washington a
place Of the daily exercise of such troops
would be required. and the one in question
seems to have been purposeiy reserved
How soon 1t will be officially acknowledged
as the Campus Martins of the capital can
not be predicted with certainty. At present
this beautiful meadow appears more like
