LONDON, Oct. 31.-Spain is making
rapid progress with the rebuilding of
her navy. The expenditure Of about
$70,0OO,OOO, authorized by the Cortes
last year, is being laid out to cover a
construction program of six years. It
comprises eight 14,OOO-ton battle ships.
sells. Half the ships must be built in
Spanish yards, and besides the con-
struction now under way, a complete
reorganization and equipment of the
arsenals docks and yards at Ferrol,
Cadiz and Carthagena has been under
taken. King Alfonso is an active par
tisan of the navy and gives every en-
couragement to that branch of the
government.
Among other vessels now building
are the Emperador Carlos V, a protect
ed cruiser Of 10000 tons, three belted
cruisers, Cardinal Cisneros, Catalina
and Princessa de Asturias, and the
protected cruiser Reina Regenta. A
contract which has just been signed in
London for electrical power doors for
the Reina Regenta, now nearing COM
pletion at Ferrol, shows that Spain
intends to make her new warships as
up-to-date as possible. Old style
bulknead doors had been PROVIDED 1or,
but when the authorities found out
about the new method Of closing wat
er tight doors by electricity change
was promptly made. These power
doors, known as the "Long Arm" sys-
tenn, are the invention Of an American
naval officer, and are installed or nearly
all the new ships Of the United States
navy. The object is to make ships
unsuitable by providing this means
of closing all their important bulk
heads in time of emergency from an
electrical central station located above
decks.
According to the latest information,
Spain mas in commission seconxs
class battle ships, 4 armored cruisers,
80 second and third cless cruisers, 8
sea-ging gun boats, 80 river gunboays,
destroyers, 10 torpedo boats and 20
miscellaneous vessels.

Council Yields TO Wishes Of Prop.
erty Owners
EXCESSIVE COST IS THUS AVOIDED
BIDS FOR LUMBER AND SPEClFl-
CATIONS TO BE PREPARED
FOR MILL CREEK.

At the earnest request of property
owners who protested against the pro-
posed improvement on the ground that
it meant a practical confiscation Of
their property, the council last night,
decided to substitute planking for
concrete in bulkheading the south
erly bank of Mill creek from the city's
property to Clinton street
Nearly score Of property owners
in the proposed improvement district
were present at last nights meeting
to push their fight against bulkheading
the stream with concrete at a cost Of
5000 a cubic yard. The property
owners were represented by Attorney
c. c. Gose who addressed the coun-
Gil at considerable length.
Attorney Gose said that while he
did not want the council to consider
that the property owners were making
any threats in sheer self defense they
would be compelled to oppose the
plan of bulkheading the creek with
concrete as per the specifications
adopted by the council.
Would be Confiscation.
Attorney Gose contended that if the
council proceeded with the work It
meant a practical confiscation of the
property in a majority OF instances
In regard to the legal right Of the
city to proceed he asserted it would
first be necessary for the city to con-
denim a right of way and then create
an assessment district He contended
it was entirely unfair to make the
abutting property owners stand the
expense of the improvement when the
city which would be benefited at large.

ception of the city's own property.

In reply to Attorney Gose. Council
man Glasford asserted it was not the
councils intention to force the i'm
provement on the property owners I'M
less they wished it. Tausick took up
the subject of substituting plank and
piling for concrete in all but the bust
ness district and made a motion that
planking be substituted for concrete
The motion carried and Clerk Hart
was instructed to advertise for bids
for lumber and piling. the same to
be received and opened at next Tues

draw up plans and specifications and
