A Great Naval Programme to e
Recommended to Congress ,
FOR BEST CRUISERS AFLOAT ,
Among tbo" Vessels to Bo Asked For
Will Bo Throe Swift Battleships and
Three Armored Cruisers of the Longest
Steaming Radius.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 17.--Theboai.d of
experts , which includes the chiefs of
all the bureaus of the navy depart
ment , has agreed upon a general pro
gram and made recommendations to
the secretary of the navy , which will
doubtless be approved and forwarded
to Congress soon after the reassem
bling of that body. The program em
braces the construction of fifteen sea
going fighting vessels , of which three
are to bo first class battleships of
greater dimensions and tonnage than
any now in the navy. The battleships
are each to have a displacement of 13-
OOJ tons , a minimum speed of 18K
knots when loaded to the' deepest
draught , and an average speed of nine
teen knots under ordinary cruising
conditions.
In determining the speed , due con
sideration was given to the new condi
tions that have arisen in the Pacific
ocean , and the board decided that
speed should be sacrificed to secure
steaming radius and coal capacity. All
the vessels , however , will be as fast as
any war vessels now being construct
ed abroad. The battle ships will be
capable of sailing 8,000 knots'or the
distance between San Francisco and
the Philippine islands. Their main
batteries will be composed of four 12-
inch rifles in turrets fore and aft , sim
ilar to those of the Iowa. The second
ary batteries will mount from fourteen
to sixteen "rapid fire 6-inch guns. The
auxiliary batteries will be composed
of a number of guns of assorted cali
bers , both quick fire and semi-auto
matic.
In addition to the three battle ships
the program provides three first-class
cruisers , each of 12,000 tons displace
ment and a speed of twenty-two knots
they will bs covered with heavy ar
mor from stem to stern , and armed
with four 3-inch rifles in turrets , and
ten or twelve G-inch rapid fire guns in
broadside. In their armament it is
proposed to make these vessels superior
to any afloat of the cruiser class.
There will also be nine cruisers , of
which three will be the second class ,
protected and armored , and six pro
tected cruisers of the third class. All
the vessels will be copper sheathed.
One of the important lessons of the
wer with Spain is the importance of
sheathing our naval vessels to
protect them against marine
growth , the accumulation of which
in tropical waters is very rapid , re
ducing the progress of the vessel fully
25 per cent , and frequently 50 per cent.
It is unnecessary to say that all the
vessels will be supplied with the most
advanced machinery and engines.
The board has under consideration
plans for the construction of troop
ships , at least four of which will be
needed in connection with the West
Indies and Oriental territorial acquisi
tions. It is in contemplation to at
once construct three ships , each of
which will have capacity for carrying
1,200 troops , with all their supplies
and equipage. Ships will also have to
be especially designed and constructed
for carrying artillery and cavalry with
their mounts. Aside from the Philip
pine islands it is definitely settled that
the United States must at once pre
pare for taking care of its colonies in
the West Indies , the Hawaiian and
the Ladrone islands. Transports will
be required to carry men and supplies ,
and these must be immediately con
structed.
700 A WEEK DIE IN HAVANA ,
Colonel TVarlnff Finds the City Fostering
In Garbage An Epidemic Feared.
HAVANA , Oct. 17. Colonel Waring's
first inspection of Havana has filled
him with surprise. The conditions
are much worse than he had expected.
Everything is favorable for an out
break o fever. Garbage remains in
the streets sometimes for days , though
the Spanish authorities are making
every effort to keep the fever in check.
The streets , in many places , are filled
with festering matter. Last night
hundreds of bushels of rotten potatoes
were dumped at the foot of Obispo
street.
Dr. Wilson told Colonel Waring that
the city was never before in a con
dition more favorable for a yellow
fever epidemic. In normal times the
deaths in Havana number about 300 a
week. They are now averaging /ully
100 a day. The deaths mostly result
from pernicious fever , which in many
ways resembles yellow fever.
The Prince of Wales Still Limps.

WHY LOWE CONFESSED.
Ill * Pals Deserted Him After Ho
Arrested , Saya Prosecuting Attorney.
KANSAS CITY , Mo. , Oct. 17 County
Prosecuting Attorney Frank M.
Lowe places implicit confidence in the
confession of W. W. Lowe , the self-
confessed train robber , at the same
time he declares there is very little
chance to convict any of the accused
men. He bases his claim on the theory
that train robbery is such a common
thing in Jackson county that every
intelligent and law-abiding citizen
disqualifies himself for jury duty in
such cases by keeping thoroughly
posted on all the details of every rob
bery.
"The consequence is , " said Mr.
Lowe , "that when the jury is selected
to try "these cases every man on it will
either have gotten on by delibarate
perjury in order to befriend the ac
cused or will be so ignorant he cannot
be made to understand the evidence.
"There have been many theories ad
vanced as to why Lowe 'made his con
fession , " continued the prosecutor ,
"lots of people asserting that he had
been bribed to make it. I will , tell you
just why he made it. He had been en
gaged in a train robbery with a crowd
of men whom he supposed were his
friends. He was arrested and held for
ten days and no move was made by
them to come to his assistance. SeSr-
eral times he was on the verge
of confessing , but each time held back
in hopes they would do something for
him. Finally he became satisfied that
they had deserted him and were going
to let him be madu the scapegoat and
railroaded to the penitentiary while
they enjoyed the money he had helped
to steal. Then he concluded to try
and save himself and ho made his con
fession. Just note the difference be
tween his case and that of Jesse
James. As far as anyone knows Lowe
had always been an honest man and
his father before him had been honest ,
yet no one rushed to his assistance
when he was arrested and no one tried
.to have him released on a writ of ha
beas corpus.
"The court house crowd has raised
§ 3,000 to defend Jesse James and swear
he shall never go to the penitentiary.
They have hired a lot of detectives and
have set them to work looking into
the facts connected with Lowe's con
fession , and claim that when the case
comes to trial the city and railroad
detectives will not dare to press
it. It will be pressed fast enough , but
as to securing a conviction that is an
other thing. There are plenty of dep
uty marshals and deputy clerks to go
into court and swear to alibis for John
Kennedy. Kennedy and James are
warm friends and when the former
was out of"jail he spent most of his
time hanging around James' cigar
stand in the-court house. "
ANARCHISTS FOILED ,
Officials Believe That tbo Kalsor Was In
Danger.
ALEXANDRIA , Egypt , Oct. 17 The
Alexandria police have arrested nine.
Italian anarchists , and have thereby
frustrated a plot against Emperor
"William , now on his way to the Holy
Land , to be present at the consecra
tion of the Church of the Savior at
Jerusalem.
The first to be arrested is a cafe
keeper , a well known anarchist , in
whose house the police discovered two
wire-bound bombs of great strength ,
full of bullets.
The arrest was made in consequence
of a notification from the Italian con
sul general at Cairo that two anarch
ists had left Cairo for Port Said.
The police investigation showed that
the arrested cafe keeper had bribed
the steward of a steamer sailing from
Alexandria to Port Said and Syria to
take on board a box of bombs. Ap
parently , the anarchists originally in
tended to use the bombs at the Palaias
Abidin , at Cairo , while Emperor Will
iam and the khedive were there.
When the kaiser decided not to visit
Egypt , the anarchists changed their
plans and decided to attack him in
Palestine.
The liveliest satisfaction is felt over
the smart captures , and the German
consulate has expressed his warmest
thanks.
The two Cairo anarchists who left
for Port Said have not yet been ar
rested.
Tliroo Tramps Killed.

FOR CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS ,
A Grand Jury May IJo Askocl to Indict
the Clilof Executive for tbo VIrden
Tragedy The Coroner's Inqnest Drags
Slowly Along ; .
VIRDENIII , Oct. 17. Attorney
William Patton of the Chicago-Virden
Coal company is authority for the
statement that no further attempt
will be made to bring the Alabama
negroes whose coming resulted in the
loss of so many lives. There is under
consideration , according to Attorney
Patton , an attempt to fix the responsi
bility for the tragedy upon the gov
ernor of Illinois. The lawyer declares
that it is the intention of the coal
company to press the matter and it
wil be for the grand jury of Macoupin
county to say whether Governor Tan
ner shall answer in court.
J. Franklin Eyster , manager of the
company store , who was nearly killed
by the mob , Wednesday , is recovering.
The militia commander , Colonel
Young , has placed a gfuard of soldiers
at the house to which Eyster wae
taken.
The authorities at Springfield are
considering the advisability of sending
another Catling gun here to be placed
inside the stockade. Colonel Young ,
however , does not consider additional
artillery necessary.
Coroner Hart to-day resumed the in
quest into the death of the victims of
the fight at the Chicago-Virden Coal
company's plant inside the stockade.
Three witnesses were examined , all
ex-guards of the company. They ad
mitted that they were present during
the fight , but denied having taken
part in the battle. One witness swore
that he , together with about twenty-
five others , were sworn in by Sheriff
Davenport as deputies. In the cross-
examination Attorney Mooney , repre
senting the Miners' union , brought out
the fact that the witness had never re
ceived a written commission or had
never filed a bond.
Lawyer Mooney said : "Have jrou a
copy of the statutes ? "
"No , not with me , * ' .replied Mr. Pat-
ton.
ton.'I
'I am sorry , " said Mr. Mooney , "as
I would like to show you my author
ity. "
One of the jurors then spoke up and
asked : "Mr. Mooney , do I understand
you to say that it is necessary to file a
bond and have a written commission
to create a legal deputy sheriff ? "
The miners' attorney assured him
that such was the fact.
"Then , " said the juror. "I can say
there have been lots of papers served
in Macoupin county that are illegal ,
as I have served as deputy sheriff num
berless times for years and have never
given a bond or received a written
ramission. "
The mine officials have yet given no
intimation regarding the number of
witnesses they expect to present , but
from the leisurely manner the inquest
was conducted to-day it may be pro
longed a week. It is the evident in
tention to bring out as much testi
mony on both sides as possible. Law
yer Mooney is apparently trying to
Ejet testimony tending to implicate the
inmates of the stockade and the train
guards in the battle while the company
attorney is drawing out detailed indi
vidual statements of personal experi
ences of the guards.
PAXA , 111. , Oct. 15. Qtiet prevails

WAR INQUIRY TESTIMONY.
A Doctor Complains About the Porto
ISIco CommUffary fiapplle * .
WASHINGTON , Oct. 17. Dr. Louis S.
Seaman was the principal witness be-
'fore the war investigating- commission
yesterday. He complained that the
commissary supplies furnished the
troops in Porto Rico were unsuited to
the demands of a tropical climate , and
that they were especially unfit for hospital -
pital use. He said he had been in
charge of the 200 convalescents
brought North on the Obdam ,
and had been unable to secure
suitable supplies fee them from'
the government depots. He confessed ,
however , that he had made no formal
written requisition , but had acted
upon statements made to him inform
ally to the effect that no commutation
of rations would be allowed , and also
admitted that the Red Cross furnished
all needed supplies , so there was no
suffering. He refused to reply to some
questions , declaring- that he had been
misrepresented by the press , and say
inghe would not reflect upon his
superior officers while he wore the
shoulder straps of a United States oft
ficer.
Tanner Defends Himself.
SPRINGFIELD , III. , Oct. 17. Governor
Tanner last night gave out an inter
view regarding-the situation at Virden
and his attitude on the importation of
miners into the state. He said :
"My position has been from the beginning
ginning- , and I am now more positive
in that position , emphatically against
the importation of. labor into Illi
nois , not from the Soutnern states
alone , but from all other states ,
because such a pernicious system ,
as I have said before , necessarily
brings to our state and dumps upon
society an undesirable class of citizens ,
and I do not propose , if I can help it ,
that the state of Illinois shall be used
as a dumping- ground for the criminal
and idle classes of other countries or
other states.
"The Chicago-Virden company has
been an intentional law breaker , has
sent an ag-ent to Alabama and by false
pretenses induced negroes to come
here , loading them on the trains like
cattle , locking- the doors of the cars ,
feeding- them like stock , and procuring
the services of armed g-uards from a
detective agency , and invading- the
state in an illegal manner. "
He says if he had been apprised of
the coming of the train he should have
had it met at the state line with the
national guard and disarmed and made
prisoners of every man bearingarms. .
Spanish Much Concerned.
BATONNE , France , Oct. 17. According
ingto advices received from Madrid , a
rigorous censorship has been revived
there since yesterday.
Senor Sagasta and his colleagues are
said to be greatty concerned regarding
the demands of the United States gov
ernment , which , they assert , not only
refuses to assume any of Spain's col
onial debts , but wants to take the
heavy artillery in Cuba and the floating
ing- dock recently sent to Havana.
The same advices say the Madrid Im-
parcial announces that the g-overnment
has cabled General Blanco not to turn
over any further territory to the
Americans until the peace treaty has
been definitely signed.
