UNITED STATES
 SHIPYARDS WIN

Washington, January 23.-United States against European competitors in securing the contracts for the building of two bat tleships of the Dreadnought English type for Argentina. The victory. however, came through the direct and unceasing efforts of the state department, 1t is reported, acting through the lately established Latin-American bureau.
 From a commercial viewpoint. 1t is de- clared, the success of the department in securing these contracts is of the highest consequence. and is said to establish the fact that little credence can be placed in the frequently published reports to the effect that the attitude of the United Sates toward Nicaragua has cost this government the friendship of the South American and Central American states.
 The expenditure in the United States for these two ships will total $22, coo, 900. The contract was given to the Fore River company with permission to build one of the ships in the New York Shipbuilding company's yards.
 This is the first contract of magnitude that has ever been made by any South American government to American ship builders. The two battleships will be of 2S000 tons, of 221a knots speed with 12- inch armor. A contract aggregating $1,- 900, 900 also has been obtained by the Beth lehem Steel company of Pennsylvania furnishing guns for torpedo boats in course of construction by the same gov- ernment
