TO REMODEL BATTLESHIPS.
Proposed lo Change the Oregon and Two
Others.
Washington, May 2. A scheme is
on foot to remodel tho battle ships
Oregon, Indiana and Massachusetts,
which aro all of ono class. Tho idea
sccmS'io be that superimposed turrets
shall bo placed on theso Bhips, which
will 'put them in tho same class as tho
Kentucky and Kcarsarge. Of course
these ships carry 13-inch guns, nnd
tho 18-inch guns havo been discarded,
as it is bcld that tho weight of tho
guns is mora thnn enough to com
pensato for tho weight of metal which
they "throw, and hereafter 12-inch
guns ire to bo tho largest used by tho
navy. Tho reason given for remodel
ing. the Oregon and her class is that
when in battle, if tho four 13-inch
guns are all being fired from ono side
of the shin, it will cause her to list to
that side and raise tho oppositfc side
so that tho aroor belt is out of tho
water, and that if a shot from that
side should striko her below tho
armor belt tho entire machinery
would ibo endangered.
Whilo it may bo truo that if tho
long Huzzies of tho fotlr 13-inch guns
of the',1 Oregon should bo pointed in
ono direction, iho ship would list
about' thrco feet, making it 'necessary
to raise tho muzzles of tho guns to
brlng'thcm to beur upon tho enemy,
there is nothing to prevent tho rais
ing of tho muzzles so that tho guns
can ,"bo used if all wcro turned in
onejdirection. x
On tho other hand, it may bo said
that if tho Orcgpn was fighting an
enemy, or id any conflict where a ship
was on either side, it is not at all like
ly that her big guns would all bo
tainedTon ono ship, leaving her ox
posed pn the other sido to tho other
ship'. Those who arb seeking to havo
tho change mado in tho Oregon point
out that Jn case a fort waa on qno side
and a'hostilo sblp on tho other, the
listing of tho ship would expose one
side. ) But others who aro experts in
naval, warfare say that if tho Oregon
or any other ship of her typo was
fighting a fort and a battlo ship at
one tlaae, sho would probably have
trJtai;r big t guns trained on the
fort Mid two on the battlo ship, which
wouM make her ride evetn

Buffalo, May 2. Tho beautiful
electrical display last night was tho
culminating event of the opening day
of 'tho Pah-Amtirican exposition. Tho
attendance in tho morning Was, small,
owing to r tho. fceatner, -which kept
manv awa'v from nearby towns.
LLnter in tho day; however, when tho
sun broko though -tho gray clouds,
tho crowd began1 to assUmo tho prq
portiotis of an exposition throng, and
last evening' thousands passed through
tho truntttilcs.
Tho gates wcro opened yesterday
without ceremony, tho opening
day ceremonies having been post
poned until' Muy 20, when they will
1)0 combined with dedication day
exercises. Tho chango in tho date,
however, did not ciiubu a relaxation
r tho efforts being put forth by
everyone connected with tho exposi
tion to havo everything as nearly
ready us possiblo for yesterday's open
ing. The appearance of tho buildings
and grounds in tho morning' boro am
ple evidence of thoir efforts. Storm
and' tho inevitable delays incident
to nn undertaking of such magni
tude mado impoBBiblo tho realization
of tho hope t'lat this might bo tho
first ot tho great expositions to bo
completed on ts opening day. But
so much ,moro already has been
wrought than was deemed, possible
at tho' inception pf tho project that
all aro satisfied with the extent and
beauty of the fair aa it appeared

Buffalo without state or federal aid.

FROM VENEZUELA.
Satltfactory Explanation of the Arreit ol
Consul Blaz.
"Washington, Muy 3. Tho state de
partment lias received from tho gov
ernment of Venezuela n satisfactory
explanation of t)io circumstances
under which Iguaoio Muz, United
States consul agent -at Barcelona,
cumo to bo arrested and mulcted ol
a heavy fino. Whilo no details are
furnished, it is stated that tho action
of tho Venezuela government in the
matter is all that could bo desired,
and that Biaz, who lias recovered,
or will recover, tho hionoy extorted
from him, will not bo further mo
lested. Tho stuto department's1 information
regarding the legal proceedings in
Venezuela in connection with the
asphalt controversy indicates that it
will bo many months before tho issue
will conlo to trial in tho Venezuela
high court, As there is no disposi
tion exhibited to dispossess tho Amer
ican coucessionairies who aro in doh-
session, pending tho termination ol
tho legal proceedings, the 'state de
partment is entirely satisfied with
tho status quo as to this caso, There
are, however, other issues which may
chango the aspect of Amcircan affaire
in Venezuela.
The official mail received today
from Venezuela continues to show u
ipecifio and agreeable tone toward the
United States.
German Claim Against England.
Berlin, May 3, A representative ol
Iho government has informed the
reiohstag committee on petitions that
Germany hud demanded 5,000,000
from Great Britain on account of cer
tain Transvaal expulsions, and Great
Britain had refused tho demand on
tho ground that sho did not wish to
establish u precedent, hut wus investi
gating tho wholo subject, ''The
number of cxxjlled persons," said a
foreign office representative, "is 180,
of w honi GO havo already lecn. indem
nified. A part of the' remainder liavo
no right to a claim of indemnity,
because they fought against Engluud
or because of other patent reasons.
The sound claims, however, uro being
vigorously championed."
CLAIM AGAINST CHINA.
Amount of indemnity Hat Been Fixed at '
$273,000,000.
Tarls, May 3. Tho forcigh oflkb
has received n dispatch from Pckin
announcing that M. Piohou, French '
minister, presented today tho report
of tho committee on indemnity. Tito
amount China has to pay has Wen
fixed rit 1,305,000 francs ($273,000,- '
000). I How it is proposed that tho in-
demnity bo distributed among tho
powers is not set forth,
There was much disappointment
over tho fact that tho United States is
supporting England against an 'in- '
crease in the customs. This is at
tributed to tho influence of tho Amer
ican community in China. It is be
lioved that England, if albno, would
yield, but fears are entertained that.
England's schemo is to prolong nego
tiations until hor hands are free in
Souh Africa, when she would show a
stronger policy in Chinese affairs.
Official advises received hero from
Pckin say tho ministers aro divided
into two parties in tho discussion to
decido how China is to raise tho in
demnity. Franco, Germany, Russii
and Japan agreo in favor of raising
tho customs duties, which can bo re
lied upon to produco a great part of
tho rcquisita sum, and tho imposition
of a duty otv junks, which will con
stitute a tax nn internal navigation
and taking over of boiuo of tho likin
(provincial transit duties). On tho
other hand tho United States and
Great Britain dcclino to agreo to an
increase- of tho customs duties, hut
they do not appear to havo prcsonted .
a counter proposition. Tho fact that
tho United States and Great Britain v
have joined hamlR on this issue ban
caused surprised here, It was hoped
that tho United States would stand
with Franco and Russia. Tho result
will, bo to greatly protract tho nego
tiations. TWO ROBBERS CAUGHT.
