Among the visitors to the Duke of Veragua during his visit to Washington was Mr. J. L. M. Curry, the minister to Spain under Mr. Cleveland's former administration. The renewal of acquaintance between the duke and Mr. Curry was pleasant and cordial. It so happened that there was a correspond- ence between these gentlemen in 1886 in reference to the celebration of the discovery of America, The duke, in response to @ letter from Mr. Curry, wrote to him saying that “Spain would take the proper initiative and ask the co-opera- tion of the civilized nations of both continents. America (referring to the United States) will take the proper place that is due her.” The celebration alluded to by the duke was one to be held in Spain, and has already oo- curred at Madrid, with a naval review at Huelva and Palos. The American minister subsequent to the correspondence with the duke had an audience with the queen regent, who very graciously assured him of the deep interest she felt in the | proposed international celebration in this | country. There was a correspondence between the two governments on the subject,and Mr. Curry was the first American representative who com- municated with his government in reference to the Columbian exposition. ations DEPARTMENT CHANGES, Appointments in the State and War Depart- ments Since March Since President Cleveland's second adminis- tration began there have been comparatively spesking more changes in the State Depart- ment and less in the War Department than in ment, Politicians say that this is very singu- lar when it is considered that the head of the State Department is a recent convert while the head of the War Department is dyed-in-the- wool democrat, and is moreover accepted on all sides as the President's most powerful adviser on all matters of a political character. The only office of any im- portance in the State Department now held by an official who served during the last adminis- tration is that of second assistant secretary. ‘The incumbent is Mr. Adee, and if there isany- body whose services are indispensable to the government he is the man. With him politics are subordinate to duty and his loyalty and conscientiousness cannot be questioned. His experience and ability have already been severely tested by Secretary Gresham. ‘There is only one position in the War De- partment in addition to the head of any politi- cal importance and that is the assistant secre- taryship, now held by Gen. Grant, one of the ‘most efficient officials in the government serv- ice. Lut he is a republican and has-already held the office nearly four years. He placed his resignation at the disposal of Secretary Lamont a = March and « large number of applicants soon appeared in the contest for his place. But he is still in office and there are no indications of an impending change. He has been a great help to the Secretary in the busy days since the inauguration and has practically relieved him of allthe routine work of the department. While he does not expect to be retained much longer he is in no special hurry to go and will remain until it is perfectly con- venient for the Secretary to select his successor. Beyond the appointment of « private secretary, one chief of division to fill» vacancy caused by resignation and two watch- men there have been no changes in the large force of the War Department outsi of the classified service and very f for. ——____+e--— - — A CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY. The State of Khode Island Disputes the Powers of the Government. Secretary Lamont has been called upon to decide an important question of states rights. | It is involved in the contemplated destruc- tion of an old bridge over the Seconnet river, an arm of Narragansett bay The bridge is in Rhode Island, but is used almost | exclusively in the interests of the trades people of Fall River, Massachusetts. The bridge is the property of the state of Rhode Island and was built nearly a hundred years ago. Its removal 1s now demanded in. the in- terests of safe navigation. DIRECTION TO THE GOVERNOR. Some time ago the Secretary of War wrote to the governor of the state calling attention to the | dangerous condition of the bridge and directing that the passageway for vessels be enlarged or the entire structureremoved. The governor ad- mits the necessity for the removal of the 5 but disputes the right of the government to order the state to do it. The attorney general of the state presented fhis side of the case to the Secretary of War Yesterday. THE STATE ATTORNEY ORNERAL He argued that the federal law giving the See- retary of War jurisdiction over the navigable waters of the United States did not apply to bridges or other improvements constructed by the sovereign states. He conceded the juris- diction of the War tin the case of railroad bridges, &c., constructed by pri parties and even to bridges built by municipal Corporations, but contended that the law not intended to interfere with the acts of state. é WHAT THE STATE WILL Do. ‘The Attorney General said the state was will- ing to cede the bridge to the government for destruction, ol be New York. Gen. Schofield and Admiral Belknap will be the President's aids on that occasion and will represent him on the steamer General Meigs, assigned to the use of the Duke de Ve- ‘and party.

SCENES IN NEW YORK BAY, ——».—— PARADE OF THE SHIPS. ‘The Maritime Visitors Leave the Lower Bay and Proceed Up the Kiver. New Youx, April 26.—The phantom ships which sailed in out of the mists of the sea yes- terday were bright and majestic realities in the glorious sunshine this morning. The only element wanting to insure the triumph- ant spectacular success of the great naval parade was supplied by the perfect weather. Not @ trace was left of the steel gray clouds and rain and fog of vesterday. Clear skies, bright sunlight and bracing breezes gave a setting to ® panoramic scene whose beauty and suggestiveness have never been sur passed. In the aharp, clear light of the carly morning every distinctive feature of the great warships stood out in bold relief. Anchored in two great columns stretched over the whole surface of the bay, the vessels of each of the ten nationali- ties represented could be distinguished at a glance. ‘The snow-white bulky and graceful « of the American fleet were not more ous tban the buge black hulk of the flagship, the towering military masts of the French Jean Bart, or of the sharp lines of the crack German cruiser Kaiserin Augusta with her formidable Krupp guns, off- set by the squat outlines of the Dutcl VanSpevk, which again contrasted with the graceful build of the swift Argentine Nuevo de Juho, and the massive armament of the Brazilian battle ship Aquidaban. FARLY MORNING SILENCE. ‘The most striking feature of the scene was the absolute silence that prevailed during the early hours of theday. Each of the formid- able death-dealing engines of destruction lay motionless at anchor, reflected in the placid waters of the bay by the early jorning rays of the sun like the often quoted Painted ship upon a painted ocean.” There Was a grim suggestiveness of represeuted force and stern discipline in this impressive quiet. But it did not last long. As the morning wore on and the preparations for breaking anchor began the scene changed to one of brisk animation and life. The bay became alive with pieasure craft of every description, |and the petrol boats had « dificult | task to keep the anchorage grounds clear of in- truders and to permit the formation of the columns in which in stately procession the ves- sels were to pass through the Narrows into the upper bay and to move up the Hudson river to their assigned statiom, and there to await tomorrow's review. THE FORMATION OF PARADE. It was shortly after 9 o'clock when Admiral Gherardi’s flagship gave the preliminary sigual to break anchor and fall into line. The start- ing side, or right-hand column, looking toward the bows of the vessels, commanded by the British admiral, Sir John Hopkins, consisted of foreign vessels’ in this order: British—Biake, Australia, Magicienne and Russian—Dimitri Donskoi, General Admiral and Rynda. French—Arethuse, Hussard and Jean Bart. Italy—Etna, Giovanni avd Bausan. Spain—Infanta Isabel, Reina Bogente and | Noeva Espana. yore —Aquidaban, Tiredentes and Repub- The or left-hand column, commanded by Ad Gherardi, consisted of the Ameri- can fleet, with some of the visitors thrown into balance, in the following order: American—Philadelphia, Newark, Atlanta, Sen Francisco, Baucroft, Bennington, Balti- more. Chicago, Yoratown, Charleston, Vesuvius and Concor: Argentine—Neuvo De Julio. Holland—Van Speyk. German—Kaiserin Augusta and with the American bringing up the rear. 4 PROMPT START. The start was made so promptly at 9:45 that thousands of spectators who had gathered to witness the spectacle from the Navesink bigh- lands and the heights of Fort Wadsworth and other points of vantage on Staten Island had hardly taken up position before the guns of Forts Hamilton and Wads- worth boomed their welcome to the advancing fleet. Steaming neck and neck the two ad- thines Seeadier, monitor Minatonomoh mirals and their flagsbips led the at erate of between eight and nine knots jour. A brisk breeze curled the re into white | caps breakers, but the magnificent ships glided aiong so smoothly that their motions scarce! seemed perceptible. A cable and e half length (300 yards) separated each ship from the other, and this distance was maintained with absolute precision. CONTRAST BETWEEN AMERICAN AXD FOREIGNER. The contrast presented by the snow-white American fleet and the dark-bulled foreigner was eucy perceptible as they moved along side by side, each heightening the effect of the other. The two schools of naval architecture (for nearly all the ships in the fleet not Awerican built were of English construction) were strongly marked and every patriot felt within 2 glow of pride that the new navy of the United @id not suffer by the com- parison. ‘The time occupied in passing the forts was exactly half an hour. The naval ships, after passing the Narrows, entered the upper bay, the fleet of excur- sion steamers and yachts and big boats fell in and became ‘volunteer escort. The scene then became one of combined grace, animation and beauty never to be for- gotten. The absence of cannonading left the air clear, and every outline of the magnificent ships stood out in luminous silboutte the cloudiess sky. The fings of the 5 nationalities and even the names of the ships were clearly discernible trom eithe- shore. ANCHORAGE REACHED. ‘The ficets were preceded by navy yard tugs and patrol steamers, whose duty it was to keep the course clear for the warships, while the ‘Tee Dolphin remains off 22d street until the President her at 10:30 o'clock tomorrow to review the ships, Capt.
