GOVERNMENT WILL BUY WAR VISSELS Sccrclnry Long Ilenlrr * Scvcrnl of the Claim of Torpedo lloat Do- ntro > cr to Strengthen the Savy'f WcnU Volut. _ WASHINGTON , March 7. There were no lota than five Important events today hav ing"a bearing more or less direct upon the troubled relations existing between the United Stairs and Spain , viz. : The Introduc tion In congress by Mr. Cannon of a resolu tion carrying 10.000,000 for the public de fense ; the withdrawal by the Spanish gov ernment of Its intimated objection to the continuance in offlco of Consul General Lee ; the t order for the cruiser Montgomery to proceed to Havana in place of the Fern ; the passage through the house of the bill In creasing \ the artillery arm by two regiments , nnd the institution of negotiations looking to the purchase of war ships for our navy. Mr. Cannon's resolution probably led all other topics In Interest , particularly when It became known that It was the result of a conference between the autnor , the preslt dent , Senator Hale nnd other leading spirits In congress. As for General Lee's case , the news of the satisfactory ending of the Incident through the withdrawal ot the suggestion by Spain was expected as soon as It was noted that a loophole had been left open through the failure to make the complaint In anything like -an official shape. Some fear Is expressed - pressed that the consul general will not find his j duties very congenial now that he knows that ho IB an unwelcome guest In Havana , but the administration Is relying upon his do- votlon to the welfare ot Americans In Cuba and American Interests generally to submit his own personal wishes to restraint and re main at his pest. Late In the afternoon Srnor du Dose , the Spanish charge , received a cipher cable from the minister of state nt Madrid , Senor Gul- lon , saylny : "You can disavow the rumor that any official application has been made for the recall of General Lee. " This confirmed Senor du Bosc's view that a misapprehension had occurred , end that some Intimation concerning General Lee had been construed into a request or demand 'for his recall , which Mr. du Bosc says with pwltlvcnesa was never Intended. As there has been no explanation so far of the purpose which prompted the Introduc tion of Mr. Cannon's resolution , It may be said that the money Is wanted primarily ns an emergency fund. It is said by officials who will have the disposition of this treas ure that it by no means follow * that because congress places a sum of money In ccntrol of the president that he will feel bound to spend all of it. These who look for a whole sale purchase of war ships from the bargains of European builders are likely to bo disap pointed. NEEDS TORPEDO TiOAT DESTROYERS. The Navy department at present Is In clined to make but one purchase of this kind , at first at least , In the shape of a sub stantial Ironclad. It does desire to get pos session of several of the larger class of tor pedo boat destroyers , such as tbo Sekul of the Russian navy , vessels of 300 tons , able to keep the sea in bad weather , a weak point with our own boats , and capable of enor mous speed , such as thirty-two knots. But such craft are not for sale at all times ; they are built to order generally , and could not be procured in this manner In less than six months from the date of contract even In Europe , unless special prices were paid. There Is no disposition on the part of the Navy department to lumber the navy with a lot of unserviceable craft in a spasm of fear , but rather to get a few of the best ves sels to bo had. The offers of ships to the Navy depart-1 mont are now assuming definite and formal shape. During the day Secretary Long re ceived a call from A. F. Lane , representing the Maxlm-Nordnnfeldt company , and the agent for several war vessels now nearlng completion In large foreign ship yards. These Include two cruisers of the type of the Cincinnati , which are designed to be twenty-knot vessels , and two Ironclads of fourteen knots , which would bo called third- class battleships under our rating. These are now open to purchase , and it Is under stood that Mr. 'Lane's visit was in this con nection. The two cruisers are 330 feet long , forty-three feet beam and sixteen feet draft. They carry six 6-inch and four 6-Inch guns , and an auxiliary battery. The ironclads have a thirteen and three-quarter inch belt of Har- veylzed steel. Their armament Is two 10- Inch guns , four 6-lnch , two C-lnch , six C- poundcrs and four 1-pounders. Mr. Lmio regards these ships as first class In every particular , as they were de signed on modern principles and are being built by one ot the leading 'shipbuilding firms In Europe. They are well along toward completion and all four. It Is said , could be In commission within a few months. They were originally designed for one of the South American republics , but there la said to be no obligation which would prevent their acquisition by the United States. Mr. Lane recently sold the Navy department sixty of the Maxlm-Nor- denfeldt rapU-flro guns end hla standing with officials Is such as to give his repre sentations as to ships much weight. ARMY HAS ITS NEEDS. There are things that are wanted much moro than war ships In care of trouble and the army shares these needs , so that a fair proportion of the $50,000,000 would have to go to the War dcpratment. There re abundant supplies of shot and shell id " powder. The army is as short as the navy of theo essential stores. It has been found , greatly to the grat ification of the army officers , that there will not bo nearly as much difficulty la securing modern arms for the irmy , even en a war footing , as was anticipated. This Is because certain private gunmakers have just brought out a typo of rotating rifle , very similar in general features to the army rifle , using the same cartridge ot .30 gauge and with about as great rapidity of flre. The plants of these companies are so ex tensive that they could turn the arms out very rapidly , so that Sprlngflelds In the hands of the militia could ba replaced la short order. In connection with the subject of purchas ing naval ammunition , It Is said that not contracts have been closed , but tfce depart ment has Informed Itself fully as to how speedily It could secure every kind of am munition and supplies In case of emergency. This Inquiry has shown , In a general way that the facilities of this country arc ample > to meet any demand for powder , projectiles . cartridge cases , primers , fuses , etc. These supplies are not kept In stock , however , and In case of emergency they would have to be made on orders. It Is said that the capacity of one firm for turning out 'the Brown pris matic powder required by the navy Is 5,000- 000 pounds a month , which would more than meet the demands of a conflict. While no exact estimate has been made of the share of the 150,000,000 appropriation to be allotted to ammunition , It Id estimated that at least $10,000,000 would be so as- signed , owing to the enormous cost of re- filling the ammunition chests of the war ships now in service. At present there Is not enough ammunition on hand for one refilling beyond that now on board. A single refilling costs $3,000,000. 'Each first class battleship carries 400 tons of ammunition With the amounts on hand , and the refills which ore being calculated on , the navy would have ample supply of ammunition even if the ehlps were called Into frequent action. Naval officers explain that a refill will last through several engagements , owlnj to the limit of endurance of men while In action. If the guna cauld be worked con stantly , a refill would ] be exhausted In one heavy engagement , but the gun * , as well a. > the men , have their limit of endurance , These considerations have all been taker Into account In the rough general estimate : that have been made as to the refills requis - ite for a suitable equipment of the Ameri - can fleet. fleet.NO NO BONDS AIIE NECESSARY.

Without delay the officers of the adjutant general's department today gave the neces sary orders for the recruiting of the new artillery reglmente authorized by congress. The purposeIs to enlist such men as have hod service In the artillery wherever possible , and no doubt Is entertained that vlcniy of material of the right kind will offer. The nanioii of the officers of the new regiments are now being selected. As for the men , it Is the plan to assign fifteen soldiers from existing artillery regi ments att the nccleus of each now company to , take hold of and break In the new men who are enlisted , and It Is expected that in a very short time Uncle Sam will have two gooJ regiments. The headquarters of one of these I icglmcnis will bo established at Fort Slocum In Long Island sound , . commanding New York , as there are suitable quarters there. | The destination of the other regiment has ] not been decided upon.

The present monopoly In the city of the Chesapeake & Potomac T9Jephono company , on account of high rates , , was severely scored.

TIIIXK THIi SITUATION SERIOUS. lo nil on Financier * * Jiien > - Over Our Relation * with .Spain. NEW YORK , March 7. A copyrighted calleci'ctu from London to the Evening Post Rays : .Special Inqulrle-s In omcLil and financial circles today show that of the many grove international dillcuUI ; pending In Chins , Japan , West Africa , ( tic Nile end elsowhcre , the most scrljus vle\v is taken of the Ameri can-Spanish tcpplwi. At the United States < uul the Spanlih cm- IxifdcB the iitmr.it ictlccnce , of course , Is ob- scr\ed. Tliey pretend to know nothing and It Is not. worthy In view ot report * that the Armstrongs have sold cruisers to Spain , that the Armstrongs board has given express Instructions that no questions nre to bo answered regarding their dealings with lrltlti ) or foreign governments. Varying conclusions are drawn from th's ' refusal to confirm the denial of the Spanish puichoso from the Armstrongs. What can not be denied l.i . that the Armstrongs have h < ul relations with Spain since 1SSO , have built several cruisers to Spain's order and now have vessels on stocks that could bo told If money wore forthcoming. Is French money helping Spain ? Two of the first financial houses were asked thlu question tills afternoon. Their replies may be grouped thufj : "Nothing of the kind has been definitely arranged and , obviously , seeing the largo French fina.-iclal Interests In Spain , French financiers will be mast aeixlotis tu keep Spain .from war ; but It Is equally certain that If Spain did decide that war , however desper ate , was the only escape from the growing financial trouble at home , Paris , and not London , would be the quarter whence money would be sought , and beyond doubt , obtained. As yet. however , nothing has been definitely settled. " The probable fact Is that Spain Is anxious to buy ships and that Armstrongs al ready to sell If they can sec the money. The French financiers are not eager to advance the necessary money so long as by holding back they can assist the cause , of peace. Armstrong crulscru Iiave the reputation In naval circles here of being the beat armed and protected cruisers In the world. CHAMPS. KIGHHU OX 1I1O CONTRACT. ItiiHKla Snlil to lie XoKotlutluB for War ShlH. PHILADELPHIA. March 7. The North American this morning publishes the follow ing : Whllo the attention of the public dur ing the recent war scare has been for the present tlmo diverted from the Cramp ship yard to League island , yet It Is safe to assert that the Kensington firm of shipbuilders Is at this moment on the eve of securing a for eign contract of sensational proportions. Although the members of the firm maintain the utmost secrecy on the subject , yet It Is a fact that during the week Just passed a force of draughtsmen has been working on plans and estimates almost continuously. The plans and estimates , It Is said , are being drawn for the consideration of a for eign power , and Include a first-class ship yard , such as operated by Cramps , besides several battleships and cruisers. lAJthough the name of the foreign power is being kept a secret , it is generally under stood by those In a position to know that the plans and estimates will eventually find their way to Russia. This Is the more read ily apparent in view of the fact that all signs on the European horizon point con clusivcly to a war between Japan and Rus sia In the near future. Japan realizes that Russia is making dangerous encroachments In China , where It should enjoy the fruits of victory. Russia , on the other hand , will not recede , bcnco a war with Japan seems in evitable. Charles R. Cramp , the president of the "William Or amp Ship and Engine Building company , today denied absolutely the story that his company was preparing plans for a number ot war vessels and of a modern ship building plant for a European nation , pre sumably Russia.

Colonel Charles Dick , secretary of the republican na tional committee , and a close friend ot President McKlnley and Senator Hanna , ar rived hero from Washington today. In answer to questions he said : "Just before leaving Washington I talked with both President McKlnley and Senator Hanna. Of course nothing that either of them said on the subject ot our relations with Spain is for repetition. I can say gen erally , however , that the grave situation is realized fully In Washington , and all prep arations are being made for any emergency. At the same tlmo there will bo no war with Spain or any other foreign power at this or any time unices absolute justification for It exists. This nation will preserve its dignity and Independence , but will not rush pell mell Into war. President McKlnley's dlgnl- . fled attitude Is very thoroughly appreciated by all except a few jingoes who ore ready at any tlmo to rush Into battle with their mouths.
