ST. Petersburg, Feb. 16-Gov. Gen.
Gerhard, of Finland, has resigned.
Gen. Belmam, commanding the>trOops
in Finland, succeeds him. It is generally
believed that Gen Gerhard was dis
missed. his removal being part of the
government scheme to again impose ex-
treme methods of administration upon
Finland The fact that the ukase an
nounciHg the resignation does not con-
tain the customary thanks for services
is regarded as confirmation of the be-
liof
Gen. Gerhard has been too sympathetic
with F.Dnish aspirations.
Dispatches from Helsingfors state that
the Firms are depressed by Gen. Ger
hards removal and that they are appre-
hensive Of the future.

The manifestation had been forbidden,

less. the entire garrison was under arms.

in courtyards- Squadrons OF cavalry oc-
cupied the bridges leading 70 the Vatican.
and also the square fronting the French
embassy.
The meeting began al 3 o'clock in the
afternoon in the Campo del Fiori. Thither
the Republican. Socialist. and anarchist
organizations marched. carrying red and
black banners, accompanied by the usual
riff-raff. and decorated Bruno's statue
with flowers

The several thousand persons attending
were orderly. except for the noise they
created. until the meeting was about 10

way. and fights resulted. Several per-
sons were injured. and many arrests were
made. More demonstrators Joined in the
fighting and matters grew worse.
Troops Are Summoned.
The troops were summoned. and the in
fantry, with bayonets fixed. charged the
rioters, but did not use their weapons.
Consequently, their movement was use

The cavalry then took a hand in the

ADMIRAL CONVERSE.

ADMIRAL CONVERSE.
The special report Of Rear Admiral
George A. Converse. retired. president of
the Board Of Construction Of the navy
and former Chief Of the Bureau of Navi-
CATION, on the methods OF designing and
the structural efficiency Of the American
battle ships. made public yesterday.
strongly defends the navy from the at
tacks Of recent magazine and newspaper
criticism.
Admiral Converse says he does not
claim no mistakes have been made in
the past or that battle ships Of the Amer
ican navy are without fault. He does con-
tend It is a remarkable fact that mis-
takes have been 50 few and none serious.
On the whole. he says. the record OF the
United States II this respect will com
pare fayorably to that Of foreign navies.
Answer to ReuterdahI.
The report was prepared at the request
Of President Roosevelt. Intended to an
swer all recent attacks upon the battle
ships oi the navy. it is primarily a re-
sponse 20 the recent article Of Henry
Reuterdahl. marine artist. whose article.
The Needs OF Our Navy" appeared in
a magazine about two months ago.
Admiral Converse makes no attempt 10
answer the criticisms Of the bureau svs-
TEN Of the department. but confines his
considerations ofdesign and structure Of
American war vessels. His report Is
written in an easy style and has baan
kept free from technical language. The
report comprises ninety typewriter pages
and contains probably 25.OOO words.
The recent criticisms of the navy. Ad-
miral Converse says, would seem IN
have been prepared by persons whose
knowledge Of the subjects discussed was
limited and incorrect"
Discussing Reuterdahrs statemon+ tba.
since 1885 the American navy has bod
only 'ten days of actual battle maneu-
vers-abOut sixty Or eighty hours in nina
years" Admiral Converse says this state
nent IS erroneous and misleading
In recent years, he says, the United
States navy has paid much attention 70
war drills and exercises. and the ten
dency has been to continue to Increase
and widen our experience in this respect
These drills. however, the report con-
tinues. have been necessarily carried ont
with the limited number Of ships availa-
bic. which did not make a homogeneous

Now. with sixteen practically similar
battle ships in commission. the depart
ment hopes TO gain great advantages from
the continuation of battle fleet drills be-
gun with these ships last year.
ManeuverS Adequate Since 1900.
The report gives a list OF battle drills
beginning in the summer OF 1900. with the
maneuvers Of the North Atlantic fleet in
Nerragansett Bay. and showing that up
10 last summer the vessels of the navy
in all parts of the world participated in
seventeen sets Of fleet maneuvers and
battle drills. Before 1900. the report SAYS.
battle drills and fleet maneuvers were
not held because Of lack Of requisite num-
Der OF similar ships.
Upon the subject OF the freeboard Of

as too low. Admiral Converse SAYS that
