FOUR NEW BATTLE WA7sHlPs.
Problem is to Get Enlisted Men for
Bio Vessels.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The navy de-
partment plans to place in commission
by the end of the calendar year 1910,
the battleships Michigan, about the
first of January, the South Carolina
later and the Delaware and North Da
kota in the spring. There will be
placed in commission in that period
about twelve destroyers, two subma-
rines and two colliers.
The problem is, of course to get the
enlisted men for these vessels. Part
of that force will be furnished when
the Ohio, Wisconsin and Missouri go
out of commission to be placed in re-
serve. That will release about 2,100
men. Then it is anticipated that the
Denver and three vessels of her class
will be replaced by the New Orleans,
Cincinnati and Raleigh, which are prac-
tically of the same class. Each of the
destroyers will require eightytwo
men, while each submarine will need
sixteen men.

MADRlz ASKS FOR PEACE.
Concessions Offered All in His Favor
and Will be Rejected.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Estrada. the
revolutionary leader in Nicaragua, will
not accept the extraordinary terms
proposed by the new president, iMadriz,
as basis for peace. A telegram from
Bluefelds states that on the 22d in
stant Madriz had proposed to Estrada
the suspension Of hostilities. pending
the arrival Of committee which he
was sending to Estrada, to discuss an
amicable and equitable settlement of
revolutionary leader not to obstruct his
efforts for peace.
Estrada expressed willingness to
meet the Madriz commissioners, but
said the revolutionary party would not
recognize the action Of the legislative
assembly in placing power in the hands
OF Madriz. He denied most emphatic
ally the assembly's right to deal with
the election of a president, and stated
that he saw in Madriz usurper.
The terms upon which Madriz is will
ling to make peace, it is believed, are
shown in a letter which purports to
have been signed by him, and ad-
dressed to a friend. In it he expressed
his desire for peace without further
bloodshed, and stated that whatever
might happen compatible with his dig
nity,z and with the public interests, he
was willing to accept. He says further
the revolutionists should recognize his
government. and that after such rec
Ognition both armies should be disband-
ed, all arms and ammunition being
turned over to him. He states that he
would recognize the debts and con-
tracts Of the revolutionists, and that
within six months he would look for
the holding of an election, he guaran-
teeing free voting. He adds that he
would turn over such power as he had
inpartially to the person elected pres
ident. and that he would accept any
other proper conditions 1t is not
Moubted here that Estrada's known
astuteness will prevent him from ac-
centing the terms of peace, preaicas ted
upon the prior surrender by him of his
army; arms and ammunition, to his
enemy Therefore, it is believed the
conference between the Estrada and
Madriz commissioners will result in
any particular change in the present
status.
