Waswivoton, Doc. 17, The Kavv department hn* not abandoned th«* i hope of resetting the Maine from Havana harbor and bringing the wri'fk ! bank to this country for rehabilitation, nor flora it seem probable, from the intercut taken by responsible wreck ing experts, that. the Cristobal Colon will he permitted to pound to piece* on the shore west, of Santiago. The board of construction lias under con sideration a formal proposition for the salvage of both these vessel# and their delivery at New York or such j other port in the United States a# the government might select, jl he Sw edish company, which is said to be tiie most capable nnd experienced in the world, now has experts at work on the Colon making an investigation Into the dlfflenltlo# involved in her salvage. Divers ami engineer# have been brought from Europe especially for till# purpose, and after satisfying1 themselves of the Colon's condition mid the expense that must be Incurred In floating her they will go to Havana and examine the Maine, A bona fide offer is expected from the (Swedish company. Tins navy department lias made the rigid rule (lint no propool tlon will be considered Involving the government In any expense until the vessels are safely delivered In a naval dry dock, fin the "no cure, no pay" principle. The offer tinder consideration comes from some associated engineers In New York city who have ample capital. Their original terms, which are sub ject, to modifications, contemplated the payment by the government of |3ft0, 000 cash In the ease of the Maine, and *1,000,000 in the case of the Colon, on their delivery at the New York or Norfolk navy yard, In addition to one third of the appraised value of these vessels on their arrival, the valuation to bo made by a board of arbitrators. The method of raising vessels to be used by the engineers who appeared before the board is extremely simple. Pheumntic caissons attached to chains, passed underneath the vessel through channels made by alternating Jets of water ami compressor! air, constitute t he lifting power. To effect the re lease of n vessel shunted like the Maine, in tenacious harbor deposits, jets of compressed nlr will be sent along the keel simultaneously with the introduction of air in to the caissons. The caissons are uniform in sire, having a buoying or lifting effort of thirty tons each. Their sire and weight admit of these caisson# being easily handled in the water by the divers alone and their distribution, together with the auto matic valves with which they are pro vided, make it possible to exert a uniform force on all parts of the ves sel. The danger of rupture from undue pressure due to depth under water or other causes or the danger of break ing air hose, is obviated by the auto matic valves The caissons aro ar ranged in series and greater or less power, as circumstances require, may he exerted at any point. 'The system is declared to afford complete control of the wreck, nud when the water is expelled from 1 ho caissons the vessel is lifted to the surface in a single operation. It is asserted that with these caisson# the Oistobol Colon can he raised and righted even in a sea way. in the ease of the Maine it is intend ed to ent atvny the forward portion of the hull, which was destroyed by the explosion', and, after lifting the unin jured portion of the vessel, to build a bulkhead and falsa bow to fill the opening.

The admiral seldom goes ashore, and insisted that hi* interviewer was iu a better position to acquire information than himself. Ho urosa-oxauiitied the correspondent about everything ashore, lie was glad to leant the in surgent* were releasing the tdclc Span ish soldier* they held prisoners, not* wStbstandiug Aguinuldu’s grandilo quent refusal to do so. This indicate* that the insurgents are very concilia tory In spite of their defiant talk. Admiral tie way always believed that the insurgent* were friendly, au«l es pecially (due,, tlte war chip* of our /leal have visited the different porta, and officer* have made Lours inland, lneidentally investigating popular sentiment uttd Judiciously preaching the gospel of peaceful settlement everywhere with highly satisfactory results. A few Inliucnllal Filipinos, iu ini ambitious attempt at sulf-ud vuuccmtmt, are clamoring for indepen dence, though unable to realise its true meaning. They are utterly ig norant of the difference between the name and the reality. Thu agitators here invariably admit that they would be unable to stand without American protection. Hut, Iu spite of this, they continue their lucaniiiglcsw outcry for trouble. The admiral, however, believe* this to be Improbable at the present Juncture, though every Incident, counts How ever, every day that passes without a conflict, mean* so much gain, because the friendly feeling is steadily inoreus ing, the incipient roughness is disap pearing and the agitators arc weak ening. The newspapers of Manila are doing particularly valuable work in the sim ultaneous publication of conciliatory articles printed iu Spanish and iu English. This course is looked upon as being certain to eliminate the fric tion which has existed here. The admiral is greatly interested iu the movement among the American volunteers to ititain their discharge here and to engage in pioneering en terprises. lie believes there is an uu limited field for planters, farmers and milters. To the suggestion that if the natives prove to he obstreperous per haps they might be banded over to the Hermans or other ungentle laud grab bers the admiral said lie believed the Germans now have entirely abandoned their design in the Philippine islands though, formerly, lie said, the German attitude here had caused him inde scribable anxiety. According to receut Information re ceived here, the Filipino insurgents are endeavoring to maintain a brave show for the purpose of securing the best term* possible from the Ameri cans It is the opinion of our admiral that it would be advisable for the United States to pay insurgent troops their arrears of wages. The whole amount would be a comparatively tri fling sum ami the payment of the troops would have a valuable effect ami may save incalculable trouble. Admiral. Dewey was strongly con vinced that the Filipino insurgents de serve acknowledgment. He is u be liever iu tile practicability of liberal measures iu the direction of local au tonomy.

The deficiency bill was parsed, after a spirited diucussloii, turning principally on tlm point of keeping the volunteer soldiers in the service. Mr, Cock re 11 of Missouri addressed the donate in regard to tiie mustering out of the soldiers, a large majority of Whom, he said, wanted to lie mustered out, aud amity of whom wore making sacrifices by remaining in t,he service. On the other bund, I lie officers, who were finding the service more profit able than the privates, hud, in tunny eases, refused to forward applications for discharge. lie thought that id such cases the wur department should exercise some discretion in the inter est of tho privates and be more lenient witli the enlisted men. Mr, Ailison expressed sympathy with tiie desire to have a large num ber of volunteers mustered out. He called attention to tha import ance of a sufficient force to maintain our coast fortifications, say ing Mint < tenoral Miles bad ex pressed tlm opinion that from 14,000 to Iff,000 men would be necessary lor this purpose, in view of these and other facts, he considered it wise to follow tiie wishes of tlm President aud tlm military authorities in tide mat ter. lie was sure that there was uo purpose to keep the extra force longer than absolutely necessary, licplying to the suggestion, Mr. Al lison said tlm ('resident had uo power to muster into our army the natives cf any of tiie various island* unless it should be done by taking them into our regular army organ!cations, lie suggested legislation authorising the uliliratiou of u large percentage of tiie local forces iu the outlying islands.
