DEL AGO A BAY AWARD.
Intense Dissatisfaction Manifested
Throughout England.
LONDON. March SO.-The Daily Mall
commenting upon the award at Berne,
says:
"The boundless procrastination of
the tribunal it is difficult to explain,
for not the smallest trace of equity
can be discovered in the award of
the beggarly 600,000 award as com
pensation of a concession valued at
6,000,000. We fear the arbitrators al
lowed themselves to be prejudiced
against British Interests by the ir
rational Anglophobia which has seixed
upon the Swiss people. By their con
duct the arbitrators have struck a
deadly blow at arbitration."
The Daily Chronicle says:
"The award corresponds with the
general anticipation. Portugal is con
demned to pay, including Interest,
nearly a million sterling. Probably the
' ingenuity of Pretoria was a fertile
contributor to the inexplicable delay of
the arbitration."
The editorial then proceeds to re
proach the British government with
; doing nothing to stop President Kru
ger's open Intrigues in the Delagao af
fair and says:
"We would not be surprised to find
that President Kruger had thought
fully banked a nice sum to enable
Portugal to pay the Indemnity and
so to provide against the contingen
cy he foresaw so clearly In March,
1S88. On the other hand. President
Kruger has had all the value he is
likely to get out of Delagoa Bay and
he is not the man to pay for favors re
ceived If they can be had for nothing."
Tli Daily News says:
"The sun awarded is as great a sur
prise as has been the unconscionable
time taken by the arbitrators In ar
riving at a decision."
The Dally Graphic Bays:
"The award is profoundly unsatis
factory for, if there ever was a high
handed and unjustifiable raid on pri
vate property, it was the confiscation
of the Delagoa Bay Railway."
Thi Times says: J
"The company and Its creditors will
doubtless consider the sum awarded
far inadequate, but It Is probably as
much as they can reasonably have ex
pected to recover and as much as Por
tugal can manage to raise without as
sistance." The Standard says:
"It would be asking too much of hu
man nature to expect that the ag
grieved parties will submit to their fate
cheerfully. The bill of costs will make
a large hole In the award and It is safe
to say that for every sovereign the
claimants will receive they had built
hopes on at least three and probably j
more. j
"The whole thing is most unfortun-
ate, especially as there was no com-
pulsion to resort to arbitration." ;

'
The Specifications Show That They 1
Win R ihp 1W and Most Pow-
erful Ever Constructed. j

i
NEW YORK, March 30. A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
No warships of such fighting power
have ever before been planned abroad
or at home as the three cruisers whose
details have Just been practically com
pleted by the admirals of the naval
construction board.
They are really formidable battle
ships, with the speed and staying pow
ers of an ocean liner. Never has such
a tremendous battery been mounted
afloat as the California, the Nebraska
and the West Virginia will carry. Sixty-six
fixed guns constitute their ar
mament and their magazines are to
hold over 400 tons of ammunition.
The board has given these ships 13,
000 tons displacement, 23 knots speed
and with coal bunker capacity of 2,000
tons, a steaming radius of 7,000 miles.
They will be the only ships In the navy
literally armored all over, their pro
tection extending from below the water
line above the entire superstructure.
In appearance they will mark a not
able departure from existing cruisers
and battleships of their class, in that
they will stand much higher out of the
water, giving better distribution of
batteries and quarters and making
them most impressive. Until congress
gives the navy department authority
to contract for. the best possible armor
for these vessels the final drawings
cannot be made, nor can shipbuilders
secure all the information required by
th-m to enwble th preparation of al
ternative plans.
The general characteristics of the
ships are now settled beyond material
modification, except that triple screw
Belt Miles

and Oid Uoae; each

Ladles' Black Satin Tulloy Bolts, the

machinery may be substituted for twin
screws. The machinery is to develop
over 22,0w) horsepower to drive the
ships ?3 knots, and this with the stand
ard naval water tube boilers must not
exceed 2,000 tons In weight.
The armored protection Is to Include
a water line belt of Krupp steel six
inches abreast the engines and boilers,
tapering to 34 Inches at the bow and
stern. Above this belt there will be
five inch casemate extending half the
ships length to protect ten six-Inch
guns. The eight-inch turrets will be
six inches thick, the conning tower
nine Inches and the signal tower five
inches. The total weight of armor, In
eluding the four-inch protective deck
will be 1,427 tons.
Among the novelties, the lower decks
will be covered with linoleum, all
woodwork red iced to a minimum and
fire proofed: the magazines covered
w ith non-cenductors of heat and cooled
by refrigerating apparatus; coal bunk
ers arranged for extremely rapid filling
and emptying, automatic water tight
doors between all compartments oper
ated from several stations, fire main
laid below the protective deck. Space
Is provided for six month's provisions,
tanks for 8.000 gallons of drinking wa
ter and an ice machine.
Electricity will operate the turret,
turning gear blowers for ventilation,
mechanical bread mixer, laundry, am
munition hoists, gun rammers and air
compressors for torpedos.
The armament will consist of sixty -six
guns, distributed as follows: Main
battery, four 8-lnch breech loading ri
fles, fourteen 6-inch rapid fire rifles,
Secondary battery, all rapid fire eight
14-pounders; twelve 3-pounder3, four
1-pounder automatic, four 1-pounder
single shot, two 3-lnch field guns and
two gatllngs. In addition the hand
battery will include 300 magazine rifles
and 200 revolvers.
On the upper deck the tremendous
torpedo boat destroying H-poundeis
will be located and at each corner of
the superstructure a six-inch fun with
an arc of fire of U5 degrees will be
protected In a sponson.
On the main deck in the estimate w ill
be placed the battery of six-inch rapid
ttrers in broad sides, Ave on each side.
The automatic 1-pounders will go in
the lower military tops and the single
ihot of the same eallbre in the upper
tops. There will be two submerged
torpedo tubes, in one compartment for
ward and six whitehead torpedos will
be carried. The aggregate weight of
this armament exceeds 400 tons.
The construction board has also
practically completed the design for
the battleships Pennsylvania, Georgia
and New Jersey, no material modifica
tior. from the original plans having
been made. They will represent as
distinct an advance in their class as the
cruisers do over the New York snd
Brooklyn. The armament of the bat
tleshlps Is not to be positively deiided
until the double turrets of the Kear
sarge are tested.
TREMENDOUS EXPLOIT.
T"'o SnPS Race From San Francisco
and 0ne G18 Into Puget
Sound First.
TACOMA, March 30. After one of
the most exciting races in the history
of the Pacific coast, the bark Gatherer
beat the ship Snow and Burgess to
Cape Flattery, and passing a line to
the tug Ta?oma, the only tug in :ight,
the Gatherer arrived in Tacoma early
yegturday afternoon.
The two ships left San Francisco on
the same tide March 14, bound for Pu
get souiid, the Gatherer for Tacoma to
load coal and the Snow and Burgess to
Port Blakeley for lumber. During the
fourteen days from San Francisco to
Cape Flattery the two ships were In
sight of each other every day. Favor
able winds coming up Saturday, "the
Gatherer made more than two hun
dred miles a day from that time until
she was picked up.
MARIA TERESA AGAIN.
i Speculators in Her Old Metal Raise a
Point as to Her Nationality.
NEW YORK, March 30. Gaston
Drake, of Nasua, Bahama islands, with
! other Americans, now owns the wreck
of the Spansh warship Infanta Maria
Teresa, lying in two fathoms of water
i near Bird Point, Cat island. Drake
and his asociates purpose to break
up the wreck for the metal In it.
Mr. Drake and his asociates want
to bring the metal into this country
duty free.. Mr. Drake's lawyers asked
the treasury department if this could
be done. In reply counsel for the treas
ury department wrote:
"The Spanish war vessel was not the
property of the United States at the
time she was originally wrecked, but
was the property of the Spanish gov
ernemnt and the United Suites trov
eminent has abandoned the vessel on
Cat Island and Us ownership changed
from tha t'nlted States to private cltl
tens. Therefore the wrecked material
upon Its Importation to the United
State would bo dutiable."
Mr. lirake and his partners believe
there would be a profit In the Importa
loin of the old metal ffun the wreck
If admitted five of duty, but not other
wise.
CENTRAL AMERICAN REFUGEE.
Another Victim of Spanish-American
Tyranny I-ands at New York.
NSW ORLEANS. March 30. Carlos
Locayo, former governor of Hlueflclda,
armed here last night after un exclt
lug experience In Costa Rloa.
He left Nicaragua a few weeks ago,
with Minor C. Keith, being deputlied
by President Kcluya to ,laco some rail
road bonds with New Yoik capitalists.
In view ct the strained rtiullna be-
tween the two countries, he was ar
rested, his money taken from him and
he was finally exiled and placed aboard
the ship for New Orleans. He will re
turn to Nicaragua. The incident is
likely to create further complications.
Locayo was arrested In San Jose, he
claims, by the order of the president
of Costa Rica.
About l.0flt was taken from his per
son. He wax escorted to Port Lima and
placed aboard the Hispana. to which
his money was also tumid over. It Is
presumed that Costa Rica feared that
he came there to foment trouble.
Weldm Reborts. Melville M ox ley and
Joseph Strlngham. members of the XI
curaguan canal survey party, were al
so aboard the ship. They were forced
to abandon their survey 173 miles south
of Colon by the attacks of the Sasanll
Indians.

Outside State Institutions.
BERKELEY, Cal., March 30. The
University of California will extend
Its scope over the entire coast by ac
crediting high schools outside of this
state, including those in the states of
Washington, Oregon and Nevada.
This is the most Important move
that has been proposed since the plans
for the new university were made and
it indicates that the university of Cali
fornia will become a Pacific coast In
stitution and not a state institution
alone.
