COURSE APPROVED BY
| REPUBLICAN SENATORS

WASHINGTON. April 30.-Repltcs
were received today from several Rcpub-
lican seators to whom Senator Lodge, Of
Massachusetts. republican leader, and
Senator Curtis. of Kansas, whip, yestcr-
day sent kilograms asking them to 10
frain from discussing the revised league
OF nations covenant until q Republican
conference could be held 10 determine
tho Republican attitude toward tho doc
uulent, were received today. Senator
Curtis said that about five senator's now
absent from Washington had replied APP
proving the suggested course. The
names of those from whom answers were
received were not made public. No date
for the conference, Senator Curtis said,
has been selected.
Senator Chamberlain. Of Oregon. dem
ocrat in a statement tonight, announced
his support OF tho revised covenant.
There were certain fundamentals.-
the Oregon senator said which
thought ought to be left out and others
which I thought ought to be included
and which were not 30 included. II tho
constitution OF the league now stands
these fundamentals have bccn excluded
or included to meet thn objects which I
had and it seems To me that il would be
unfortunate for tn" world that the
league should be held up or defeated hy
the senate except on account Of an
overwhelming emergency.
1T seems TO me that IL tho League
OF Nations and the peace treaty is signed
and agreed to il is better for world
peace that America does not assume the
responsibility Of delaying it for any
slight reason"

HISTORIC BATTLESKIPS
OF SANTIAGO BATTLE
NOW TO Be RETIRED

WASHINGTON. Apr. 30--Thrcr OF
the four battlcships which helped DE-
stroy the Spanish fleet Off Santiago in
iS9S-the Indiana. Massachusetts ana
Iowa-are the to be placed out OF com
mission. the navy department announc-
ed today and their names reaSSlgned 10
new superdreadnoughts. For historical
and other reasons however the fourth
ship. the famous Oregon. which circiHd
South America In order to be In inc
battle against Cvcra's squadron. will TO-
tain her name aud WILL continue service
with tho Pacific fleet.
AS the Indiana, Massachusetts, and
Iowa probably never again will be
placed in active service. they will be
dcsi grated as coast battleships Nos l.
aud t." Final disposition Of the Ves-
sells has not been determined. but they
probably will be stripped and sold for
scrap or used as targets for ships OF
the fleet as was the old battleship
Texas.
The name Indiana win be assigned
to battleship No. so. authorized with
nine others in 1916. and which is to be
built at the New York navy yard. The
names Massachusetts, and Iowa will be
given to battleships Nos. So and 81.
bids for the construction OF which will
be opened by the navy department May
IS.
In rcassi gning the names Of the three
ships TO modern craft. the department
is carrying out its policy OF naming
battlcships for states. the single ex-
ce7tion being the Kcarsarge launched
at tho outbreak Of the Spanish Ameri-
~;x- -
Friga1e which destroyed tho confederate
ship Alabama. Even with the names or
the armored cruisers reassigned to bat
tleshtps the names Of all states have
been exhausted and il thus became nee
essary To reassign names now held by
some OF the battieships.
When .additional capital ships are
authorized it is probable that more OF
the older battleships will be placed out
Of commission. but thus far the depart
ment has formulated no policy In this
regard.
+ Several Of the battleShips now In COM
mission viii be placed IN reserve as soon
as the American troops are returned
from overseas.
The Indiana Massachusetts, and Ore
son were the first big gun battleships OF
the navy and were built from the Saufe
design They were completed more than
20 years ago and ST that time wero re-
gardcd as the most powerful ships
afioat Each carried four 134nch rifles,
Ell ght S-inch rifles and many smaller
guns
The iowa was completed in 1897, and
her first commander was Captain Will
lam T. Sampson who in the next year
was transferred TO command OF the
North Atlantic fleet which fought the
battle OF Santiago. Captain Robcly d.
(FIghting Bob) Evans. who was the first
commander of the Indiana, succeeded to
the command Of the Iowa and was in
charge Of her during the Spanish war.
The Iowa was OF far different design
from the first three battleships- She
had much greater cruising radius, the
other vessels being coast defense craft
only. Tho Iowa carried four 2-inch.
eight S-inch and some 5-inch guns.
