Pushing Work On the Vessels for the Naval Parade. THE COMFORT ABOARD THE BIG &HIPS—SOME THAT ARE NEARING COMPLETION—AT THE! SORFOLK NAVY YAKD—THE DUTY OF TUE PASCROFT—MEMSES ABOARD SHIP. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Navy Yanp, New York, Nov. 17, 1892. It has been decided by the authorities to push Work on the armored cruiser Maine and the | Cineinnati, in order to have them ready for the | naval parade in the spring. The Maine could; easily be completed except for her armor, and it ie proposed to fill in the belt with wood until the armor is ready and bring her down in the water by the use of ballast. With ber 6,500 tous displacement she would be the largest American ehip in the parade and probably the equal in speed and armament to any foreign sbip of her class likely to be in the parade. ‘The New York, building at Cramps’ in Phila deipbia, will not be ready for the parade, owing to the delay in furnishing her armor, and this be a dixappointment to many New Yorkers had expected to see the big namesake of empire state next spring. For comfort these larger chips have a great advantage, a the increase in the crew la not proportionally as great as the increase in hving space, +o that ships of the New York and Maine class are very roomy and comfortable for both officers and crew. The officers’ quarters are very finely | finished in the New York, and the arrangements | for comfort in the way of light and ventilation | and drainage are aa perfect as they can be made, | being fully the equal of the big Atlentic pas- ger liners in this respect. When the New ork, Maine, Columbia and Texas are in com- sion on this coast, with the Olympia and Monterey on the west coast. we will have some ships that every one may well be proud of. AT THE NORFOLK YARD the Texas is not as near completion as the laine is here, for the changes in the plans de- | layed her building before launching, but the Kaleigh, the sister ship of the Cincinnati, has been in the water eight months, and will’ soon bo ready for her trial trip. She is not ex-| pected to make quite as much speed as the | Cincinnati, but will otherwise, in armame | and internal arraugements, be almost the same. | The Naval Academy practice ship Hancroft will soon have her trial trip. She is not in-| tended for the summer cruise, as many think, but asa practice ship, to be stationed at the academy for use as a gunnery ship and practice | iu handling a ship under steam both for the line cadets and those of the engineer division.

MAY OO TO THE WEST INDIES. If the rumors of a factional war in Hayti are true the whole or # part of the north Atlentic squadron may soon sail for the West Indies. The “black republic,” as Hayti is frequently called, seems to be Tetrograding rather than advancing, and when insurrection does break ont among these people they are no respecters of property, hence the presence of a is | necessary in time of trouble to protect Ameri- | can interests there. The Havuans have not for the “Ozama” affair, when one wooden stup of our navy defied them and showed such a perfect and proper disregard of their “paper | quarantine’ —since it wag only a quarantine on | the paper that the order was written on and was not made effective by the presence of Haytian hips—and if the occasion offered itself would | show little respect for property owned by aiti- zens of the United States. When it is con- sidered that it is only afew years since the voodo worshipers killed young children and ate them in their wild religious ceremonies and that even some of the high magnates of the government were confessed believers in th voodo priests not much can be expected o the citizens of the “biack republic,” and it is | well to keep a watchful eye on our business in- | terests there. In case of a sudden outbreak | the Coucord, now at St. Thomas, could easily | protect our interests there, at least until the arrival of the flagship. "Negotiations wero pending for a long time for the purchase of the Mole St. Nicholas of Hayti for a United States coaling station. But even if the nego- tiations had successful. the construction of a suitable harbor and much improvement to the barren isiand on the coast of Hayti would | have been necessary, while the general unset- | tied condition of the Haytian government would have been a constant source of annoy- ance, if not a source of danger.

Inhis complaint Chevalier de Grunebaum states that on October 30 he felt inclined for luncheon and entered the hotel; he had ample cash for all his needs, but the waiters preserved 4 distant air, and when he succeeded in com- ling attendance from one the waiter de- clined to even intrust him witha menu. The baron approached the cashier and requested |eustenance. The only reply be could obtain | was that the cashier had been instructed not to allow the baron to be served, for office reasons. ‘The baron then addressed Proprietor Hoyt in writing, asking why he had been subjected to such treatment. Mr, Hoyt answered in a for- mal letter, explaining that he had issued the order iu compliance with the request of several trons,who, without offering any explanation, insisted that achoice must be made between the baron’s custom and theirs. Mr. Hoyt said yosterday that the baron’s associations were against him. Baron de Grunebaum says his father lives near Vienna, but that he is estranged from him.
