TWO SHIPS OF WAR UNFIT FOR SERVICE:

NEW YORK, June 12th., A special to the World from Washington: says Naval experts have pronounced the cruisers Albany and New Orleans dangerously top heavy. These two warships were purchased in England by the Navy, Department just be fore war was declared with Spain. The New Orleans was brought to this country and was in service, but the ilbang is still in the course of construction. She was tied up in English waters by the laws of neutrality.

Rear Admiral Hichborn, chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repair, to-day filed with the department the report of Naval Constructor Bowles, who inspected the New Orleans at the Brooklyn navy yard and made discoveries, This news is disappointing to the department, as the New Orliaus, by reason of her good showing in Cuban waters, was looked upon as a worthy ship. What is worse, the experts have no remedy to offer for ths defects.

The Albany is at Armstrong's ship yards in England and is advanced so per cent toward completion. The two ships are built along exactly the same lines and what is true of one is true of the other-S. F. Call

HAYAMA, June, 13th. Officers in charge of the Culian forces at Gunnabacoa have collected all the arms from the 'soldiers and gone into the country with. them. Mayor Hyatt has reported, this con. dition of things to General Ludlow, There FOR SWATOW, AMOY AND FOOCHOW were about 300 soldiers in thai were the best armed forces in the neighbourhood THE Company's Steamship city, and they of Havana, having many Mausers, good car bines and Springfield rities. These soldiers were awaiting the return of Lieutenant Colonel Randall from the country to receive their money at Havana on Thursday.

The fact that the officers had collected these arms was not known to Mayor Hyatt until Sunday. He was given authority to receive the arms, but only nine weapons had been given up. On investigation he learned that the officers had represented themselves as for the Government, and on securing agents the arms immediately left the city.

It is now suspected that a similar condition of affairs exists in many places and on the island, and that rifles are Leing put in hiding awaiting an uprising, or have been already dis tributed among bandits, who, according to all reports, are well armed.

The

apparent indifference of the Government to the capture of bandits and to the protection of Spaniards in the country has brought forth strong protests from Spaniards in Havana, they ascribing the seeming apathy of General Brooke to the fact that he depends wholly on reports of the Cuban secretaries, mayors and civil

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

PROBEM.

Secretary Hay has announced the names of the members of the commission appointed by President McKinky to determine the most feasible and practicable toute for an isthmian Canal. It is said that as a whole the commission is regarded as very satisfactory in Washington. All the members at reported to be in favour of constructing the canal, and it is thought they are inclined to the Nicaragua route, though it is added, "inquity may change the minds of

some of them.'

Whatever may be the views taken of the subject by a majorly of the new commission, there is one at least what is not sanguine of the outcome. Lewis M. Haupt, a civil engineer, and one of the two Pennsylvanians appointed to the commission, has alrea ty declared a con viction that the new investigation is simply an other means of providing for delay in the work. He maintins the various routes have been thoroughly inquired into and that nothing new of value can be arided to the Information now In the hands of the Government..

The opposition to the canal, says Mr. Haupt, is powerful and active. It never rests. It is composed of finany elements. Among its forces are the transcontinental railroads, the Panama Canal Company, certain European interests represented here by what Mr. Haupt calls " technical cominisilon composed of British, French, German and other engineers; and list, but not least, Great Britain acting as a Government, and seeking to prevent the open ing of

Either of these forces acting singly is sufficiently strong to make a dangerous oppo sition to the great enterprise, which in itself is one of such magnitude that many people hesitate to approve it. When uaited they make an antagonism well fitted to venture upon the task of bafting the wishes of a great people, and a consideration of it as Mr. Haupt declares is almost enough to make one despair"

He was easy and courteous in his attitude toward bir Inquisitors, refusing to answer only one question, viz.: How much it cost his company to refine sugar, He said he did not wish to give information of that competitors.

Beyond that he did not wish to say...
