IN SHAPE FOR ACTIVE HOSTILITIES.
PLANS OF
NAVAL MEN
FOR WAR
Important Steps Ordered
by Assistant Secre=
tary Roosevelt.
One of the Most Interesting
Matters Is the Preparation
of Auxiliary Cruisers
for Hostilities.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.— A Washing
ton special to the Herald says: Emer
gency preparations of the most import
ant character yet attempted by the
Navy Department were formally de
cided upon to-day and necessary orders
carrying them out were issued by Chief
Acting Secretary Roosevelt. These pre
parations include:
First— Orders to vessels In different
parts of the world, looking to their bet
ter strategic disposition.
Second — Shipment of guns and
mounts for auxiliary cruisers from
the Washington foundry to the New
York Navy Yard, where in a few hours
they can be placed on board vessels of
the International Navigation Company,
Columbia Steamship Company, Red
"D" Steamship Company, and New
York and Cuba Mail Steamship Com
pany.
Third — Collection? of stores and com
pletion of repairs to cruisers Minne
apolis and Columbia, monitor Mianto
non>oh and ram Katahdin.
Fourth— Shijunt-nt to works of the
Herreshoffs of torpedo tubes and appli
ances and torpedoes for the torpedo
boats Talbot and Gwin, which will
shortly undergo their steam trials.
The authorities have given up all idea
of keeping secret the preparations
which are being made, and while de
clining to go into the details as to or
ders which are being given, it is gen
erally known what steps are being
taken to put the country in condition
to meet any emergency that may arise.
It has not been denied that orders have
been issued to vessels which entail
their movements to different points,
but what vessel? are affected and
where they go are questions which the
department officials decline to answer.
As the Herald has stated, the Asiatic
squadron is assembling at Hongkong,
f>oo miles away from the Philippines. It
is generally believed that before decis
ive action is taken by the administra
tion the cruiser San Francisco and
gunboats Bancroft and Helena will be
ordered home, it being appreciated that
these vessels would not be effective
against the armored cruisers of the
Spanish navy. The cruiser Cincinnati
and gunboat Castine will probably re
main at the Barbadoes until the arrival
of the Brooklyn at Santa Lucia, sixty
miles away, when Captain F. C. Cooke,
commanding the armored cruiser, will
communicate with Captain C. M. Ches
ter, senior officer commanding the Cin
cinnati and the Castine, and these three
vessels will then probably proceed to
La Guayra. where they will join the
gunboats Wilmington, Vicksburg and
Annapolis.
Quite a large number of guns and
mounts for auxiliary cruisers will be
chipped, commencing to-morrow, to the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. There are now
available for auxiliary cruisers forty
nine 4-inch, forty o-inch and forty-one
6-inch guns. There is also on hand
a large number of six and one pounder
guns and machine guns. The Herald
showed several days ago that the St.
Paul, St. Louis, New York and Paris
would require forty 6-inch guns, twenty
6-pounders and sixteen machine guns.
It is evident that these vessels could be
transformed into auxiliary cruisers
without delay.
The Advance and Alliance of the Co
lumbia Steamship Company will re
quire twelve 5-inch and twelve ma
chine guns. Twenty-eight 5-inch guns
would thus be left, and eight of these
would be placed on board the Segur
ance, Vigilencia and Concho. A total
of eighty 4-inch guns will be needed to
equip the remaining vessels which
would be available for duty as auxil
iary cruisers, forty-nine of which will
be shipped to New York. The gun
foundry is now assembling a number
of 4-inch guns, and it is expected that
within the next few months forty-five
guns of this caliber will be ready for
service.
For six and four inch guns for aux- :
iliary cruisers the department designed
some months ago a pedestal mount.
Sixty-six four-inch and twenty-seven
five-inch guns were reported as com
pleted some months ago, at which time
forty-five were being pushed to com- |
pletion. The Columbia and Minneapo
lis are commerce-destroyers. They
have been in reserve for some months,
the idea being when they are assigned
that they could be got ready and !
I'lared in commission in ten days. Their !
stores have been assembled and are
now ready to be placed on board. This
will probably be done, so when the de- i
partment directs that they be placed
in commission all that will be neces
sary for officers and crew is to go
aboarcl.
The monitor Miantonomoh, which is
also at League Island, has been re
paired, and minor repairs required will
be made as rapidly as possible. Like
the Terror, she has a displacement of
3990 tons. The ram Katahdin, which
was placed in ordinary some months
ago, is also in need of some minor re
pairs. These will be completed as
quickly as possible, her stores will be
assembled, and, like other ships at
Lejurue Island, she will be put in condi
tlon to go to sea Just as soon as her
officers and men may arrive on board.
The Katahdin is the only representa
tive of her type in the world, her prin
cipal arm of defense being her ram.
There have been a number of applica
tions made to the department by offi-
cers of the commander rank desiring to
be assigned to her in case of war. Com
mander G. H. H. Wilde being especially
desirous of receiving this billet. The
Navy Department was informed some
days ago that the torpedo boats Tai
bot and Gwin had been launched and
would undergo their stem trials in a
few days. The Talbot and Gwin are
small boats equipped with two torpedo
tubes. Lieutenant Commander T. C.
McLean, in charge of the torpedo sta
tion at Newport, has been directed to
ship to the works of the Herreshoffs
torpedo tubes and appliances and tor
pedoes for the Gwin and Talbot so that
these vessels can be placed in commis
sion immediately upon the conclusion
of their steam trials.
The department has prepared a cir
cular letter, which will be sent as a re
ply to hundreds of men who are desir
ous of entering the naval service in the
event of war. This let,ter states that
applications will be placed on file and
the candidates for enlistment will be
called upon if needed.
AMERICANS IN HAVANA
ARE GREATLY ALARMED.
They Fear an Outbreak During a Big
Demonstration to Be Held
Sunday.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.— A special
cable to a morning paper from Havana
says: Americans in Havana are
alarmed to-day over the probability of
an outbreak. There is serious trouble
brewing and the Spanish authorities
are alarmed. Yesterday was an excit
ing day. The Spanish vessel Monte
video arrived and anchored within a
pebble's throw from the wreck of the
Maine.
The Montevideo brought from Spain
a thousand soldiers. When the Span
is-h soldiery learned of the appalling
disaster to the Maine they could not
refrain from displaying their joy.
The wreckers and marines engaged in
the ghastly work of recovering the
bodies were compelled to listen to cold
blooded taunts and sneers.
"Death to Americans," was the yell.
Later when the officers of the palace
visited the Montevideo there was a
such exclamation.
The soldiers were marched to the
Prado and later to the Castle of Prin
cipe, where they were supplied with
rations.
A few days ago it was said at the
palace the soldiers were to be pushed
into the interior at once. Doubtless
this was Blanco's intention then, but
conditions have changed.
There is to be a big demonstration
in Havana on Sunday, and the cap
tain-general will' retain his troops in
the city. The demonstration to be
held Sunday has been on foot for more
than a month.
The efforts of Blanco to- crush it out
by commands and threats have proved
fruitless.
The element which is opposed to au
tonomy and which favors the bringing
back of Weyler is growing all the time.
It proposes to be heard, and heard it
will be on Sunday. That is why Blan
co has retained the sc-ldiers.
The autonomist party has ben split
and the so-called Radical wing has re
organized and formed a new plan of
autonomy. This plan is that Spanish
troops be withdrawn from the island
and the insurgent army who hold rank
and title be recognized as leaders in
what shall be known as the colonial
militia. This plan is the cause of a
great protest on the part of many
Spaniards.
It- is felt in Havana to-day on the
part of Conservatives that Sunday's
demonstration is the beginning of a
studied movement to depose Blanco.
General Arolas. tho military Governor
of Havana, whose military strength as
sisted in promptly crushing out the last
demonstration, is in the hands of weak
er leaders in whom the foreign consuls
have lost confidence.
Sicard Yet in Charge.
KEY WEST, Fla., Feb. 25-Com
mander Clifford H. West, thief of Ad
miral Sicard's staff, sailed on the Mas
cotte to-day for Havana. When asked
the purpose of his visit to Havana he
replied: "I cannot say anythin for
publication.
Rear Admiral Sicard is still in charge
of the fleet, which with the exception
of the New York and lowa, remains at
the Dry Tortugas.
The New York and lowa lie off this
harbor. The admiral says to-night
that he expected to be there soon, and
he looked much improved. The ad
miral expects the Marblehead and the
Detroit on Sunday, hut says the fleet
will not be brought in a body to this
harbor.
No Extra Powder Ordered.
SANTA CRUZ, Feb. 25.— Although
war rumors are prevalent there are
no indications at the California Pow
der Works here of any orders being re
ceived for an increased output of Gov
ernment powder. The works are en
gaged in filling the usual contract for
powder for the Government.
There is always on hand about two
hundred tons of sporting and blasting

powder, which can be turned over to
the Government at once if necessary.
At the works there are three big guns
used for testing purposes. One is three
inch, another six-inch and a third
eight-inch. The largest can throw pro
jectiles nine miles.
MEMBERS OF A GUN
CLUB AS VOLUNTEERS.
Five Hundred Sharpshooters Proffer
Their Assistance to the
Government.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.— The prospect
of war with Spain is stirring the people
in Port ' Chester and other villages in
Weschester County. The war spirit is
so strong that two volunteer military
companies are being formed, which will
tender their assistance to the Govern
ment in case war really does come.
The Port Chester company is already
200 strong. At Rye a company of rifle
rangers is organizing.
Port Chester was more keenly
shocked at the disaster to the Maine
because Newell Rising Jr., a young
man popular in the village, was one
of the victims.
Rising's father is a prominent mem
ber of Charles Lawrence G. A. R. post
of this village. The post met last night
and passed resolutions of eulogy on
the dead sailor and of condolence to
his famtly. It was decided to erect a
granite shaft to young Newell Rising's
memory on the post plot in Rye ceme
tery.
Jeremiah Byron, president of the
Mount Vernon Gun Club, sent a letter
to the Secretary of War last night vol
unteering the services of the club, in'
all 500 accurate marksmen. To-day Mr.
Byron received a letter from Secretary
Long, thanking the gun club and stat
ing that the letter had keen duly filed
for refeVence in case of need.
MOUNTING THE FORT
PREBLE MORTAR BATTERY.
Detachment of Hegular Soldiers
Placing the Big Ten-
Inch Guns.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.— A Portland
(Me.) special to the Herald says: Pre
paratory work is being done on the
new mortar batery at Fort Preble by
Captain Field and two assistants
under the general supervision of Major
Hexie and Lieutenant Howell of the
United States Engineer Corps. A de
tachment of Fort Preble soldiers sta
tioned at the fortifications at Portland
Head is being utilized in the prelimi
nary work pertaining to the mounting
of the big 10-inch guns.
Six of the Wounded at Havana.
HAVANA, Feb. . 25,-r-At 6 o'clock,
when this dispatch was sent, Holzer is
still sleeping under the influence of an
opiate. He is no worse than he was
this morning, but is very low. Includ
ing him, there are six wounded left
here, and all are reasonably certain
of recovery except him. Some difficulty
will arise, in removing them to the
United States, for all have, been ex
posed to contagious fevers, and
the quarantine laws forbid their
being taken direct to Key West. These
regulations were disregarded in case of
the first lot of wounded. taken there on
the next day after the explosion, be
cause of the extreme exigencies of the
case. . - " y-' '■ ; ; . en***
Bodies Cannot Be Disinterred.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-The friends
of the victims of the Maine disaster
have discovered that they cannot have
their bodies brought to this country in
cases where they have already been in
terred. This is due to the fact that the
Spanish laws forbid the exhumation of
corpses until the expiration of the
period of five years ofter burial.
The prohibition had its OTigin in the
fear of infection from contagious dis
eases, pome applications have already
been made to have bodies brought to
the United States by private individ
uals, and they have encountered this
obstacle.
SIGNIFICANT
ORDERS COME
Northern National Guard
Ordered to Prepare for
Emergencies.
All Companies to Be Filled»Up
and Placed on a War
Footing.
En the Event of Hostilities the Militia
Will Man the Guns at
the Forts.
Special DUpatch to The Call.
SPOKANE. Wash., Fob. 2F..—Signifi
cant orders were to-day issued from the
headquarters of the State National
Guard at Olympia for the commanders
of infantry companies to immediately
recruit their companies to their full
strength and increasing the maximum
strength of the two cavalry troops in
the State to eighty men each. The
wording of the orders follows:
1. Thecaptala of each company of infan
try in the National Guard of Washington
will proceed without d< lay to recruit his
command to its maximum strength of
sixty mllsted men.
2. Each troop of cavalry is authorized
hereby to Increase its maximum strength
from sixty to eighty enlisted men.
By order of the C'ommamler-in-Chief
Official: J. K. BALLAINK.'
Adjutant-General. .
Orders have also been issued gazet
ting new officers to fill all vacancies.
Everything is evidently being done to
put the National Guard In the best of
condition. The light battery of artil
lery stationed at Spokane has been try
ing for several years to secure modern
machine guns, and is now informed it
may secure them in the course of a
few weeks. The battery had almost
given up hope of securing them.
National Guard officers say the issu
ance of orders to recruit up to the full
authorized strength is the result of or
ders issued from the War Department
to the adjutant-general of every State
in the Union. In not all the States
have the orders been issued so far. It
is understood that General Ballaine re
ceived his orders by telegraph while in
the interior States the orders are sent
by mail. So far as can be learned from
officers of the National Guard and
army officers, plans are being prepared
under the direction of the Secretary of
War whereby the volunteer troops in
the border States will in event of war
be placed to garrison the seacoast and
other important army posts, save those
that are equipped with heavy artillery,
while the full strength of the regular
army will be mobilized on the Gulf
coast. According to an officer, the Ore
gon Guard will be called upon to garri
son Fort Vancouver and Fort Stevens,
while the Washington Guard will be
placed at Fort Townsend, now aban
doned. Magnolia Bluffs, Fort Walla
Walla and Fort Spokane, while the Ida
ho- Guard will garrison Fort Sherman
and Fort Boise Barracks in Idaho the
one in the Department of the Colum
bia, and the other in the Department of
the Platte.
ROOSEVELT IN CHARGE
OF THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.
Worn Out by His Tireless Exertions,
Secretary Long Leaves
for a Brief Best.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.— Secretary
Long has been under a heavy and al
most constant strain ever Bince he was
awakened in the ir'^riie of ti»a nio-ht
a week ago last Tuesday by the news
of the loss of the Maine, and now that
matters are, at least for the present, in
a quieter state, he has withdrawn from
the Navy Department and gone away
for a few days" rest, leaving Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt to manage the de
partment.fc The latter has been thor
oughly advised at every step of the
Secretary's policy of the treatment of
the Maine affairs, so that there is not
likely to be any change in that respect
caused by the temporary assumption of
the duties of Secretary by Mr. Roose
velt.
Just before the department closed he
had word of the sailing of the cruiser
Montgomery from Tampa for Key
West. Dp to that time the vessel had
br-en given no orders, so that the date
of her departure for Havana, if she is
to go at all, is conjectural. The ship
went to Tampa instead of Key West on
her return from San Domingo, in or
der to facilitate the speedy return to
his duties in Washington of Captain
< 'nuvninshield, the chief of the Naviga
tion Bureau, who saved a full day by
the movement.
The Castine, the second of the United
States warships on the South Atlantic
station, arrived to-day at Barbadoes,
where she joined the Cincinnati. It
may be that the Castine may go to
Martinique to be docked, as she is in
need of cleaning after her trip.
WRECK OF THE MAINE
SINKING INTO THE MUD.
It Will Be Necessary to Remove Guns
and Deck Debris Before Rais
ing the Hull.
HAVANA, Feb. 25.— The wreck of the
Maine is slowly but surely sinking into
the mud. Before the hull v could be
raised it would be necessary to move
the guns and deck debris. For lack of
proper appliances practically nothing in
this line has been accomplished. Aside
from the officers' cabin effects, the sal
vage thus far has ben pitifully small.
The cloudy weather and rain made the
work of the divers unsatisfactory to
day, and very little was done. It is
said that a hole has been made by the"
divers in one of the forward hatches,
and it is hoped that a number of bodies
will be recovered.
The court of inquiry sat longer than
usual to-day, the six divers being ex
amined more in detail than heretofore.
The Spanish cruiser Alfonso XIII has
been towed to a buoy further within
the harbor to make room for the
cruiser Vizcaya. which is expected here
to-morrow or the next day from the
north.
No word has been received at tho
Consul-General's office from Mr. Bar
ker, the United States Consul at Sa
guala Grande, and it is believed that
the report of Mr. Barker's illness is
untrue. ______^_____

ZELAYA, President.
PANAMA, Feb. 25.— Telegraphic advices
from the Herald's coi-respondent in Ma

and people are adverse to war with Costa
Rica and the Government desires peace,
provided it is guaranteed by Costa Rica
acceding to Nicaragua's just demands,
thus avoiding future trouble. Otherwise
the Government wants war. The Govern
ment of Costa Rica has not jet answered
the Diet of the greater republic, therefore
relations remain bitter. It is reported
that President Iglesias has held a meet

tho meeting was strongly opposed to it.

CONTRACTS
ARE TO BE
HASTENED
Ammunition and Guns for
the Army Are in
Demand.
Quicker Deliveries of Ordnance
and Ordnance Stores Now
Required by Chiefs of
the War Department.
NEW YORK,. Feb. 25.— A Washing
ton special to the Herald says: Pres
sure is being brought to bear by the
chief of the ordnance and the chief of
the engineers of the army on the con
tractors who are behind in the fulfill
ment of their contracts with the de
partment, and instructions have been
issued directing them to hasten partic
ularly the completion of contracts for
guns and ammunition. The work has
been progressing quite as rapidly as
practicable for months at all points
where seacoast fortifications are under
way, and the rate of progress of the
engineering work on emplacements
cannot be greatly accelerated, except
on Southern coasts, where weather con
ditions do not affect excavations and
buildings.
Quicker deliveries of ordnance and
ordnance stores are, however, possible.
It is understood that the Bethlehem
Iron Company has been asked to hasten
their deliveries of eight-inch, ten-inch
and twelve-inch guns, and the Tredegar
Iron Works of Richmond, Va., the
Rome (N. V.) Locomotive and Machine
Works and the Driggs-Seabury Ord
nance Company, to push the delivery
of shells for guns and mortars of
various caliber.
The Government gun carriage fac
tories at Rock Island, 111., and Water
town, Mass., the arsenals at Water
vleit and Frankford and Springfield
Armory have all received orders to in
crease their rate of supply. Ammuni
tion is just now the great need of the
department, and for this reason the
small arms and ammunition plant at
Frankford is expected to turn out not
less than 40.000 ball cartridges, caliber
30, for the Krug-Jorgensen army
rifle, and 20.000 miscellaneous cart
ridges, most of them of the caliber of
45, for use in Springfield rifles, only
supplied to the National Guard. Re
quisitions have also been made on the
Frankford arsenal for shrapnel, canis
ter and sights for cannon.
Ordnance officials decline to make
public the amount of ammunition now
on hand, but it is known to be so small
as to induce the department to mak
every possible effort to increase it at
the shortest notice. In the event of
an outbreak of actual hostilities
purchases of ammunition abroad
would be necessary, and is contem
plated. No anxiety is felt -with re
gard to supplying the militia with am
munition. Their small arm Spring
field rifle can easily be supplied from
private manufacturers of the Eastern
States.
The Scott Foundry at Reading, Pa.,
is working night and day in the hope
of completing by the lasx of June the
16-inch Brown segmental wire-wound
gun which it is building for the War
Department. This will be the largest
gun manufactured for the army until
the 16-inch built-up gun now building
at Watervleit is completed. The wire
gun will weigh twenty-six tons, its
muzzle velocity will be 3000 feet per
second and its muzzle energy over 35,
000 foot tons, which it is estimated
would penetrate both sides (projectile
entering on one side and going out on
the other side) of the armor plates of
a modern battleship. The gun has a
tensile strength of 150,000 pounds to the
square inch. The wire jacket, which
takes up the entire circumferential
bursting strain of the powder, has a
tensile strength of 250,000 pounds to the
square inch. The steel in the Govern
ment built gun has a tensile strength
of less than 100,000 pounds per square
inch. The calculated muzzle velocity
of the Brown segmental tube wire
wound gun is 3000 feet per second, and
the calculated muzzle energy is over
35,000 foot tons.
The muzzle energy is greater than
the muzzle energy of the Government
thirteen-inch gun, which is the largest
and most powerful gun. in the service.
The Government thirteen-inch gun
weighs fifty-one and a half tons; its
muzzle velocity is 2100 feet per second,
and its muzzle energy is 34,155 foot
tons. In the event of successful tests
of this gun it will be placed in some
important position of coast defense.
Many stories are current respecting
the plans of the War Department for
transporting troops and for conducting
a possible campaign in Cuba.* It is not
expected that tiie authorities will con
fide to the puttlic at this juncture such
plans as may have been formed in this
direction. It is a well known fact the
Quartermaster's' Department is pre
pared to furnish transportation for
large bodies of troops at the shortest
notice to the Atlantic Coast and to the
Gulf, and steamship lines have been
approached and are prepared to furnish
adequate transportation to the Cuban
coast if necessary.
The military information division,
through its various agencies, is amply
equipped to furnish a store of informa
tion and maps, and it may be said that
the army, if called into action, will not
be found unprepared for decisive work
without the loss of valuable time.

General Merritt is making his annual
inspection of the posts of his depart
ment, which includes all the States on

Texas, and the States east of Missis
sippi, south of the lakes, excepting In

this time will naturally have more than
ordinary importance, and is calculated
to increase the efficiency and economia
distribution of the troops of the depart
ment.
Major General Miles, commanding the
army, to-day emphatically said to ma
that reports of a rupture between him
and General Merritt on account of tha
latter officer's making public informa

is entirely unfounded. He said he haa
no occasion to criticize General Merritt,
