CRUISERS HEA VILY ARMED.
THE PROJECTED VESSELS WILL BE
PRACTICALLY BATTLESHIPS.

Washington, Oct. 22-Secretary Moody may
decide the question about the building OF cruis-
ers which has been raised by division IN the
Board OF Construction of the Navy Department
but it is expected that he will refer the mat
ter to the General Board. of which Admlrai
Dewey is president, for advice.
Some interesting facts in connection with the
provision Of the last Naval Appropriation OH
have developed since the action Of the ooaru
in deciding in favor Of heavy armoT and arma-
ment for the cruisers. instead Of high steam
power and speed. II is said that the provision
was SO carefully worded that It allowed the
Navy Department to build four battleships IN
stead Of two battleships and two cruisers. the
two battleships are to have 5000 tons displace-
ment and to cost 81 212oo0 each. Ihe
cruisers are TO have 1850 tons displacement
and to cost S4659oo0 each, or S44I.ooO more
than the batteships The reason given for the
greater cost Of the cruisers is that they were
TO have a higher speed with larger engines ana
equipment for supplying power BY reducing
the steam power and increasing the armament
the intention OF those who wanted four battle
ships is accomplished. There is no limit - 10
speed for the cruisers or the battleshps. nor
to the armament. except that both battle
ships and cruisers shall carry the heaviest
armor and most powerful armament for yes
sells Of their class"

PIOUS FUND AWARD STANDS.
SECRETARY HAY WILL NOT TRY To HAVE
THE CASE REOPENED.

Washington. oct 22.-Some of the parties in
interest in the Pious Fund arbitration are not
satisfied with the amount Of the award in their
favor and have appealed to the State Depart
ment to endeavor to induce The Hague Tribunal
10 reopen the and amend the decision so as
10 make the judgment payable in gold The
original finding was in favor of the claimants
for lump sum of 81. .i2O, $50. and an annual
amount of $4,000 payable in Mexican cur
Tency." This currency just now is quoted at
about 40 cents the dollar, as compared 10
American gold so that tc change the judgment
as requested would involve an enormous in
crease in the total of the award
After looking into the treaty by which the
arbitration was arranged Secretary Hay has
found that il was expressly stipulated that the
tribunal should fix not only the amount but
the kind, of currency in which the award should
he paid. and he has consequently informed the
claimants that he cannot grant their request.
