Said to Haye Been Discourteous to the Board of Visitors. Capt. Philip H. Cooper, superintendent of the Nava! Academy, has written a let- ter to the Navy Department tn reply to certain complaints against him of alleged discourtesy made by a member of the board of visitors to the Naval Academy. It is understood that Representative Hil- born of California, president of the board, complained to the department that he had been treated in a very rude and brusque manner by Superintendent Cooper while on a recent visit to the academy on official business. It is said that when the board was examining the Institution, Capt. Cooper replied to several questions put by the members in a gruff and discourteou manner. According to one story, when he was sked when work would probably begin on the new building authorized by Congress, he replied curtly that he would start to tear down the old building as soon as the beard got out of the w A question as to the course of study at the academy elicited the response that the — lo academic board attended to that matter. Some of the visitors construed thi to mean that it was none of their business. Capt. Cooper was asked if it were true that he had punished a cadet for going in swimming when there was no rule pro- Mbiting the practice. It fs said that Capt. Cooper refused to answer this qpiestion unless it was put in writing and then left the room saying that he had other busin to attend to. The board protested to the Navy Depart- ment against Capt. Cooper's and it is understood that Repre: tative Hilborn argued that the incident showed that Capt. Cooper was not a proper person to put in command of a naval vessel. This remark was intended to refer to the proposed assignment of Capt. Cooper to the command of the Chicago. The action of Capt. Cooper is said to have been hased on he ideasthat ae board wanted to in- erfere with the discipline an inis- tration of the academy, eee ——_——_——-e+-_______ DELICACIES FOR HOSPITAL. Offers to the Army by the Red Cross Association. Surgeon General Sternberg of the army has sent to the chief surgeons of army corps and divisions the following proposi- tions, made by the American National Red Cross Association: “We can put any desired amount of hos- pital supplies—ice, milk, condensed milk, ete.—into any of the volunteer camps in few hours. Wili you be kind enough to bring this letter to the attention of Secre- tary Alger and ask him if there fs any ob- jection to our appointing a Red Cross rep- resentative to report to the commanding officer and the chief surgeon in every camp. confer with them as to their immediate needs, and, if anything of any kind {s want- ing, open there a Red Cross station and send in the supplies? We can do this, not in a few weeks or a few days, but in a few hours, and can furnish any quantity of any desired luxury or delicacy for hospital use. ‘We thereby tender our ald and put our or- ganization the War Department’s service for co-operation in this field.” ‘soe Secretary of War has approved of the propositions and the surgeons have been directed to co-operate with the au- thorized agents of the association for the purposes indicated. BLANCO'S:, STORES SHORT He Sends an Urgency Call to the Home » overnment. Rumor That''the Queen Regent in Anxious to Shift Responsibility to! Imfanta Isabella. LONDON, Jupe 13.—The Madrid corres- pondent of the Standard, telegraphing Sun- day, says: 3 “General Blanco having again telegraphed that in case the blockade becomes stricter it will be urgent to send war stores, as his supply is running short, the government has taken steps to dispatch abundant sup- plies by fast vessels from Spanish and foreign ports. The more important supplies from Spain will be strongly conyoyed and will be sent immediately. “General Blanco also telegraphs that the authorities at Santiago de Cuba claim to have repelled the American attempt to land in the Inner and outer bays of Guantana- mo, the Spanish forces being intrenched in positions commanding the best landing places between Santiago and Guantana- mo.” The Madrid correspondent of the Daily News, telegraphing by way of Bayonne, says: eneral Blanco’s last dispatch being less sanguine, the cabinet council discussed whether it should be published, and decided on some verbai alterations. Military pre- cautions have been taken at Madrid to quell disturbances when the inevitable hap- pens. “Reports are again rife that the Queen Regent wishes to shift the regency to the Infanta Isabella and let her accept the American conditions. Russia May Protest. “It Is expected that Russia will protest against the open alliance of Admiral Dewey as a belligerent with Aguinaido, the insur- gent chief.” The Madrid correspondent of the Daily Mail, telegraphing Sunday, says: ; “An extremely bad impression is current tonight as to the outcome of events. Busi- ness men are inclined to the belief that the war will be short, probably only lasting an- ether month. Military men hold the oppo- site view, considering that Spain can put much reliance on the clement: “At the cabinet council today Duké Al- modovar de Rio, the foreign minister, made report as to his conferences with the am- bassadors of the powers. It is understood that nothing definite has been arrived at. Captain Aunon, minister of marine, tele graphs from Cadiz that the recruiting for Admiral Camera's squadron is being ac- celerated. ‘ “While the American landing in Cuba is officially denied, the authorities assert that even if it were true it would be unim- portant, as the Spanish army would give a good account of itself. It 1s believed that the question of the food supplies, so far as the peninsula is concerned, is settled, at least until October.” The Madrid correspordent of the Times, telegraphing Saturday, sa Questioned the Government. “In the chamber of deputies today Senor Osma, a highly respected deputy, ques- tioned the government, among other mat- ters, as tolwhether a blockade can legiti- mately be madeéveffective by obstructing port with siinken s, mines or torpedoe! whether it'is allowable for a belligerent in nicn to obstruct a post wh is NOt blockaded; whether an effective blockade, once imjerrupted, must be formal- ly reproclayned,.and whether it is lexitt- mate for a, belligerent to employ as allies semi-civilizéd natives living under the ju- risdiction of at opponent, especially there is reason to apprehend that the ter will cammit all manner of cxe now happily unknown in civilized warfare. ‘Duke dovar de Rio, the foreign course of a very guarded the opinion that an in- de must be reproclaim- E question as to wheth the blockade frm Cardenas to Bahia ilon- iL was formally proclaimed had been sub- mitted to the powers, but they had not yet replied.

Provision in the War Revenue Bul f Small Moment. Assistant Secretary Vanderlip was ask- ed today as to the practical working out of that feature of the revenue bill which has just passed Cengress which requires the coinage from the silver bullion bought under the act of 18% to a minimum amcunt of $1,500,000 a month of the act covering into the treasury the scigniorage thus gained. In reply he said: “I cannot seé that any effect worthy of consideration would be experienced, pro- vided that no more than the minfmum amount of $1,500,000 a month required by the law should be coined. Under the operations of the treasury, in the natural course thereof, a gradual coinage of this bullion has been steadily going on as the treasury notes issued for the purchi the bullion were redeemed and can Thus, in the calendar year 1897, the age from the bullion aggregated $12,651,- 731, and the seignicrage covered into the treasury on account of this bullion coin- a amounted to $3,485,000. Should the operations under the present bill be limit- ed to $1,500,000 a month, and with the im- © demand upon the mint it is not able that any more than that amount will be coined in the early future, there would be within the next twelve months $18,000,000 coined from that bullion, in- stead of $ 1. In other words, in the next twelve months there would be §$5,- 348,260 in silver in excess of the general average of the dest two or three years. » increase in the seigniorage over the rage of formiér'years will amount. to 34 ia mionth.

Considering Her Resources Japan is Making More Rapid Progress Than Any Other Power. Naval Progress, a periodical issued by the office of naval intelligence, gives an in- teresting account of the steps being taken by the principal maritime nations to in- crease their naval forces. According to it Great Britain is building or about to build 108 ships, upon which she will expend $107,- 000,000, and will increase her personnel by 6,500 officers and men this year. Russia’s program of naval expansion calls for an expenditure of $318,000,000. France is add- ing to her fleet at an expense of $144,300,000. Germany has a program looking to the ex- penditure of $240,009,000, and Japan's pro- gram requires the expenditure of $192,290,- 000. Considering her resources, Japan is mak- ing a more rapid increase in ships and men than any other power. France is constructing more torpedo boats than any of the continental governments, whi-e Great Britain continues to outstrip the world in the number, power and cost of vessels of all types and classes. The total strength of the English navy is shown to be 109,050 officers and men. British im- provements in dock yards at home and abroad have been marked by great energy. England is now building three immen: docks at Gibraltar, and is making exten- Sive improvements at her naval stations at Heng Kong, Malta and Bermuda. Russia’s plans include the opening of a new naval base on the coast of yand, at a point between the White sea and the Norwegian , and connected by rail with St. P ersburg. The 108 new ships a y are of all c igned for the Bi fourteen being cruisers, nine rs, two torpedo- boat destroyers and the remainder small cruisers and. gunboats. The three large battle ships to be laid down this year will be of the Majestic type. The four armored cruisers will be among the most powerful vessels of this type in the world. Not le: than twenty-one knots an hour will be the speed requirement. The other cruisers will be of about the same type as the Detroit and the gunboats a little larger than the Bancroft. France's building program extends over a period of eight years, and will aggregate in 1905 about $144,200,000, making an annual expenditure for increasing the strength of the fleet of $18,060,000. She has now under construction twelve battle ships and nine armored cruisers, besides a great number of torpedo boat destroyers and smailer ships. Germany's naval program provides the building, exclusive of torpedo by gunboats and vessels for special purp of seventeen ships of the line, eight armo ast defense vessels, ‘tweive large : ix small cruisers, be- in reserve ompleted for or ship buildin number of small ci troy- ers and si ding.

The gunboat Benni ton, which has been on guard at Honolulu for many months past, is under orders to jein Admiral Dewey's fleet in Manila har- ber. It is expected that the old crui Mohican, which is now cruising in tae vicinity, will take station at Honolulu and rcmain there until the arrival of the Phil- adelphia. Within the next week or two Secretary Long will designate a command- er-in-chief of the Pac:fic station to suc Admiral Miller, who retires on the 3d prox imo, and alzo an officer to command the Philadelphia. It Is row said that Capt. Crowninshield, chief of the bureau of nav- igation, will not be assigned to the com- mand of the Philadelphia, as he has no desire for sea duty at present. Two other officers are now ramed for this assignment, and it is believed that one or the other will get it. They are Capt. Silas W. Perry, com- manding the receiving ship Franklia, aui Capt. Lewis Kempff, row captain of the Mare Island navy yard. — oe CLOSING EXERCISES. The Melrose Institute: Graduates En- tertain Their Friends.
