Captain F. E. Chadwlck , commander of the.cruiser New York , now lying off Tompklnsvlllc , . gave , out a statement today denying allegations made' In an articlepublished here In the 'Engineering .Magazine. . In the article re " ferred ' to , a statement was made that the UnitedStates , war ; ships thatdestroyed Cer- "I'vera's ' fleet were really not In a proper ' stale i of preparedness when Ihe Spanish fleet passed ; out through Iho channel and at- f-tempted to escape. Engines were uncoupled , It was stated , boilers were , either empty , or full of salt water and the grates , were cold. Captain Chad wick says : The New York and Brooklyn , 'have four engines , all of 'which together can only be used to advantage with" full power. The New York wad using 'forty-rive tons of coal .a day on the bl6ckudo as it was. It was the practice to , kcti > . .strain oa four of the- six , boiler * , a fifth..filled , with -wat r kept hot. by.jtho hydfpklueler and primed ready for 'firing ' and. a sixth' washing cleaned. This -was .the condition the day of the actlbn. -The sixth boiler , as were all the rest ; was filled'with fresh'/not salt water , ) To have kept' ' fires up sufficiently to usoJ efficiently all the' ' engines coupled would , have- occasioned an expenditure of , coal winch- , would have , forced thp New York from , Jts station as it did others. As It. was hanging on by Us eyelids , so to'apeak , archi ng oa long'as possible going to'Guatanumo tor coal. The use of Its engines and the Brooklyn's , coupled before the moment of full power , would have been a very serious detriment and after full power was on It would have > c n absurd to have stopped to * couple when tolng sixteen or seventeen knots and thus ese from four to five miles when It was so clearly apparent that the chase was being apldly overhauled. Stringent orders ex- sted .regarding the use of freshwater In all ships and U was not singular to the Oregon. The New York never had any but fresh water In Us boilers and a circular order of Admiral , Sampson's of May 29 covered this" matter In great detail.

A dispalch to the Journal' from Washington says Archbishop Ireland wfll represent the United States .at the czar's peace congress. The president has had the subject under advisement for several weeks and according to' the best au thority U may be said that a decision was recently reached , the archbishop having agreed to accept this moat Important and honorable post. Ever since his Induction into office the president has been anxious to testify his appreciation of Archbishop Ire land's republicanism , which took the form of strong Interviews and speeches during the campaign of 1896 and of his mental gifts and learning. The czar's call for an International peace congress , at which his universal dlsarma-1 ment ' proposition 1s to be discussed , has pre- s'eated an exceptional opportunity to honor Archblihlp Ireland' In an-Illustrious manner , 1 Asthe representative of the United States ' In such an assemblage , his .position would comport with' the dignity of his ecclesiasti cal office- while not Interfering with its dutle * , owing' to the' temporary character of the political appointment , ' Aside from 'the' pleasant effect that such a designation would hate upon a large pro portion of the population of this country , ll Is assumed that' the United States would gain , prestige among the Catholic nations represented at this congress , as well as achieve for the president reputation for good taste in selecting for a peaceful mis sion a professional messenger of peace and good will. It to not known whether the archbishop will be the sole representative of the United States , or Whether he will head a delega tion of three or five representatives from this country.
