CRITlCIzES SHIPS OF GERMANY
Naval League Would Have Nineteen
Vessels Replaced with Modern
Fighting Machines.

STUTTGART, June A-(Special Cable

double sauadrons of battleships has not
been relInquished, but merely disguised
Among the resolutions adopted by the
league was one in favor of superseding
ships of inferior value by vessels of the
most modern type. An official table of
comparative values of battleships pub
lished by the league shows that in the
estimation of the agitators the German
navy possessed no fewer than nineteen bat
tleshp units of inferior value Thus a
demand for the supersession of those So
called obsolete craft by the most modern
constructions actually exceeds demand
for third double squadron.
How far the Reichstag will permit the
government to advance in the direction
desired by the league remains to be seen.
In the meantime there are apparently
grounds for assuming that the naval au-
thorities favor the construction of a 16,O0O-
ton type of battleship instead of continu-
ing to build ships of 1920 tons, which rep

of battIeships as contemplated by the naval
program of 1900 is for the present uncer-
tain The proposed increase in the ton
mage will of course necessitate a corre-
spending adaptation on the part of the
German shipbuildng yards.
It will be remembered that short time
ago the managing board of the Vulcan
shipbuilding firm at Stettin raised the ques-
ton of transferring the works In whole or
in part from the shores Of the Baltic TO
some North sea port, upon the ground
that the company could not at present
! contract for l5OO0-ton battleships because
these vessels could not pass the. Kiel canal.
The proposal has been dropped but II
will undoubtedly be revived and adopted
as soon as the requirements of the gov
ernment have become known.

WASHINGTON, June 25.--By the direo-

taken by the administration which not only

reply to the French note regarding the

been received. The statement that Ger

the German ambassador, is not regarded
seriously In well informed circles. where

that the contents of the reply was given

clearer statement of the French program
FOR Moroccan affairs, suggesting that each
subject be discussed separately in accord
ance with the terms of the Madrid conven-
ton. the two points principally referred to
being coast trading and frontiers, and that
should France accept, Germany would
abandon the idea of the conference. This,
however, is regarded as a surmise.
Meanwhile public anxiety relative to
eventualities, though somewhat abated. is
still intense. The press continues to advise
patience and confidence in the efforts of
the French government to arrive at a
pacific settlement. 1t is pointed out that

Orders to ConnuIn.

AS result of the inquiry orders have
been issued to the diplomatic and consular
representatives of the United States in
China by the president himself that they
must look closely to the performance Of
their duties. under the exclusion law, and
see to 1t that members of the exempt
classes coming to this country are provided
with proper certificates. These certificates
will be accepted at any port of the United
States and will guarantee the bearer
against any harsh or discourteous treat
ment. Such treatment, indeed, will be the
cause of the instant dismissal of the Offend
ing official, whoever he may be.
In addition to the presidents orders, Sec
retary Metcalf has issued instructions to
the immigration officers which, it is be-
lieved, will remedy the difficulty heretofore
complained of BY the Chinese government
